I'll just take a stab at answering your question, although I have no idea what the actual statistics might be. I wonder if the cruise lines would have that kind of data.
We go to Cayman every year for two weeks, at the end of Feb. and the beginning of March. At that time of year, it's always possible to have a 'Norwester or storm system hit which does cause the harbor to get too rough for anchoring and tendering in from there. BUT.....there is an ALTERNATE spot for the ships to anchor, and that is on the South Side of the island, where it is usually calm in that type of a storm. When the ships anchor on the South Side, they tender in to shore from there and are transported by little buses into Georgetown. I'd say that it's not uncommon to see that happen one or two days in the entire two week period that we are there.
Now, there are times that it's rough on both sides, in which case the ships have to bypass Cayman entirely, but I really think that doesn' t happen too often.....maybe once a month (at most.......just a guess).
