I am a Caymanian and i live here in Cayman and go to school here. Cruise Ships do not come EVERY day. But most of the time they do. Its pretty rare when you drive into town and see the waterfront empty. The most Ive seen of Cruise Ships a day is Seven.

∙ 10y agoThey do not 'dock' at a harbor or port. Instead, they drop anchor some ways out from the inbound cargo port. Cruise Ship ferries then navigate to the ship to take up to 40-50 passengers at a time - there are several ferries that run as long as needed to accomodate visitors. The ferries ferry the passengers to the Cruise Port.

I am pretty sure cruise ships are built in dry docks where they can be flooded to float the ships. This is something i saw on Discovery channel on tv. Once the ship is complete they can flood the dock to float the ship to the ocean.

Where do Carnival Cruise Ships send their ships that are not on a cruise?
Cruise lines do not often have ships that are not being used. When the heavy cruise season ends at one place in the world, it is usually just beginning in another. Most ships do have a time every few years when they are in what is called "dry dock" when they make minor repairs or renovations. Dry dock can be anywhere in the world, not necessarily in the port of origin, and can last anywhere from a couple of weeks to a year (depending on the extent of damage or how lavish the renovation is). Otherwise, it is very unusual for a cruise ship to sit idle. When passengers leave from one cruise, the next set of passengers is on the boat in a matter of just a few hours.

What is the famous ship dock in the new york harbor?
I believe that large ships (trading/commerical ships, cruise lines) typically dock at the South Street Seaport at New York Harbor, which is located at the southeast corner of Manhattan Island. Military ships may also dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Brooklyn Army Terminal, or the Military Ocean Terminal at Bayonne (Bayonne is actually a New Jersey city). To my knowledge, private/recreational ships typically dock at the 79th Street Boat Basin.
