Missing CC.....Which month is more likely?

[hopelea]

Just wondering if there is a month where it seems that Castaway Cay is harder to dock for the captain?

Which month did you cruise and had to miss CC??

LLoyd or Horace have been keeping the docking stats at CC. Remember MOST of the dockings have been sucessful (well over 90%)

It's most likely that you will be able to dock. Since I've been keeping track, the ships have docked over 96% of the time. Since the beginning of 2002, I've been able to account for 75% of the cruises. Of these, 97% have docked successfully.

Of the cruises I can track, the most common months for missing Castaway Cay are February and December. But even in these two months, the ships have docked over 90% of the time. Also, I never show the Magic missing in either of these months. The Magic has missed most often in January (but still made it 88% of the time). Interestingly, I never show the Wonder missing in January.

Here's an updated monthly table:

What is the reason for not being able to dock in December?

Probably the weather

Isn't the hurricane over by then?

 

[mmouse37]

Yes, hurricanes are over by then but it does not take hurricane force winds to keep the ship from docing....just high winds or high seas are enough to keep the ship from docking.

Looks like Frances might have a say in this Friday's docking, although I hope not for the passengers' sake.
