PIER AT COCO CAY

IS THE PIER AT COCO CAY OPEN OR DO YOU STILL HAVE TO BE TENDERED

[Clarea]

Mariner has docked at Coco Cay a couple of times now, but I'm not sure the pier is open for all ships yet.

I’m on Mariner right now. This afternoon, I talked to a woman who is doing B2B2B (this cruise is the middle one) and she told me that the dock is open and that Mariner docked there last weekend. She mentioned that it seems impossible that a tender would be able to dock, leaving the main pier as the only way onto the island.

Mariner and Enchantment have docked there. The pier is not quite ready for the larger ships yet.

This was in my cruise compass for my 3/18-3/23 on Mariner yesterday.

Must be an old letter they haven't updated yet.  The area that used to accommodate the tenders is blocked by a temporary pedestrian bridge while they're building the permanent pedestrian bridge.

 

Mariner will be using the pier, so enjoy!

What old version.  The first paragraph says they will be docking and not using tenders.

Ahh yes..valuable lesson in reading closely 😉

It’s not fake news, the pier really is open for some ships that don’t need the farther out bollards. We are here right now. Captain also said there will be another ship at the pier tomorrow. I’m also posting on the WiFi at the snorkel beach.

Can you tell if that signal is from the ship or land based wifi hot spot?

I'm sure they weren't shouting, just had their capitals locked😊

On further review, turns out I snagged the ships WiFi. I walked to the pool and southern areas and lost it.

Thanks for confirming - so for now, the WiFi on land is NOT working - maybe they'll get it working by the promised May opening date.

Caps lock on is typically interpreted as shouting.

Is Coco Cay going to have its own WiFi?  Didn’t think they were close enough to another larger island for service from another location.

That was one of the promised features of Perfect Day - don’t know how they are getting connection.

Oh ok.  I don’t remember seeing island wide WiFi on the list of new features.  Could they be simply using repeaters from the ship’s satellite internet connection?

That’s probably one of the choices though with people potentially staying there overnight they probably need some other option too.

You do know you don't have to spend a penny at Coco Cay right?

  We are on the Anthem on Saturday. I know this week’s visit to Coco Cay was changed. Is Anthem able to dock there now, it only smaller ships. Can ships still tender? Curious if we’ll be stopping there. Thank you! 

[nashirak]

I would be surprised if ships the size of quantum/oasis class can dock there yet. They are still adding bollards out beyond the end of the pier. Even Mariner had to send all her bow lines aft of their ports. Nothing can tender with the walking bridge in place. There is a temporary one that takes you across right at the harbor entrance, the permanent bridge is still under construction.

Thank you nashirak for a swift and thorough reply. Very interesting. Would love to stop there but understand it may not be possible. Thank you!
