mattson Posted October 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi Cruisers, Just wondering how often you've had to skip a stop at Castaway Cay during your September cruises during inclement weather events? I'm hoping to cruise on Disney, but I'm limited to September itineraries due to vacation timing and curious to know my likelihood of a missed stop at CC (which the entire fambam is super excited to visit. Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gometros Posted October 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2018 We've sailed twice in September and thrice in October and never missed Castaway Cay. Of our 17 cruises, 12 included Castaway cay and we docked each and every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_BJ Posted October 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2018 IME the weather causing a missed CC day was more common Feb thru Mar hurricanes being an exception .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattson Posted October 29, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Excellent - so pretty good chances we'll get to see CC unless there's a hurricane on those days... thanks for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted November 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2018 30 DCL cruises, and we've never missed CC when it was scheduled....lots of September cruises as that's an off season and birthday time for us. Until a few years ago there was a guy on line tracking how often any of the ships missed CC and when. His numbers pretty consistently ran 1-3% of scheduled visits were missed. The 3% was when the island was wiped out by a hurricane and closed for repairs for several weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Matt Why do you think you would miss Castaway in Sept? Honestly the Winter months is when Castaway is most ofter missed due to high winds and winter storm fronts. It's funny how people think hurricane season is the only time you get storms. Ships avoid hurricanes. Winter storms they tend to just barrel through. Hurricanes are rarer then the Winter storms that move across the Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
