Grand Cayman Tender Stats

[DisneyJade]

This was inspired by the "Castaway Cay docking stats" thread!
I have the same question for Grand Cayman. How often are tenders not able to take passengers to land?

The only other time I've been on a cruise with GC on the itinerary, we were unable to tender. It was a RCCL ship when I was a kid/pre-teen. I will never forget standing on the ship, looking out to that crystal clear water and being so bummed we couldn't go there. This trip is my "do over" and I'm so worried about a repeat! We actually almost booked a GC resort trip instead of a Disney cruise, this stop is so important to me. (Ultimately, the cruise was best for the whole fam and the easier option with kids).

I'd love to know what percentage of the time passengers can't get on land in GC.

Been twice, never had an issue with tender. Our excursion was canceled due to thunderstorms the first time, but the tenders still ran.

Our DCL trips there were 50/50 you could see the waves braking over the dock from the ship on our first trip. The second was OK.

We've been successful most of the time, however, on our Christmas Panama Canal cruise on Princess, the weather was so bad that morning in Grand Cayman that none of the ships, including the Dream, were able to conduct tendering operations, so all 4 ships that were there left.

I'd love to know what percentage of the time passengers can't get on land in GC.

We've been on 3 cruises that went to Grand Cayman. We tendered in every time.

1 missed, 2 hit. It was a messy day and they knew we couldn't dock the night before.

Thanks, everyone. Can't say my nerves are calmed, but I do appreciate the insight!

I’m 2/2, one on DCL and one on NCL.
