Elkins45 Posted April 20 #1 Share Posted April 20 (edited) When I started cruising MSC after the restart in 2021 almost every four day cruise out of Port Canaveral was an overnight stay at Ocean Cay and a day in Nassau. Now it seems a majority of the four day offerings only stop at OC for the day and then insert a sea day. In case anyone from MSC happens to be reading this, let it be known that I do not approve. Overnight at OC was the highlight of the short cruises. Please schedule more. Edited April 20 by Elkins45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Morgsmom Posted April 20 #2 Share Posted April 20 Well with more ships sailing this will just be logistically impossible. You can only have one ship in port, unlike Cozumel, for example. Everyone wants a day there so the overnights are likely a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jean87510 Posted April 20 #3 Share Posted April 20 (edited) We have an upcoming overnight on the Seashore in June. As a matter of fact, every 4 day cruise on the Seashore has an overnight on Ocean Cay. So probably not yet a thing of the past.

I quite agree with your take on the issue, Morgsmom. Unfortunately, the loss of those overnights will be one more example of discontinued things that allowed MSC to stand out from other lines.

Rare jean87510 Posted April 20 #6 Share Posted April 20 Actually Exploras has no overnights planned at Ocean Cay. Just 6 times upcoming in 2025 and 2026 will she be at Ocean Cay. Seashore has quite a few overnights starting in June at Ocean Cay. So to the OP, I'd look at the 4 day sailings if that is what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted April 21 #7 Share Posted April 21 I Thought they were expanding the pier, maybe room for two ships? Anyone know? I agree with the overnights here, very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine 11k passengers swarming Ocean Cay from two full ships. 🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeal Posted April 21 #9 Share Posted April 21 According to the senior officers on the Seashore there will not be two ships at Ocean Cay at one time. They are increasing the size of the dock to accommodate the World. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
