Perfect Day at CocoCay Secrets!

[@kevinhamilton1211]

"There's lots of things you can do that's free, such as walk around." That comment made my day! Thanks, Matt! 😆

[@QueenLwiththecrown]

Funny but actually lots of waterparks you must pay admission whether you get in the water or not. So, yes it was good he made that clear.

[@JustSomeDude1213]

@@QueenLwiththecrown actually, you can’t walk around the water park without paying admission. He meant walk around the entire rest of the island.

I dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my password. I would love any tips you can offer me.

@Gabriel Johnny thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@NickScalan]

I've asked you about this on your live streams and you answered. The food service does not start until 10:00am so DO EAT BREAKFAST BEFORE you get off the ship, even if you can start debarking around 8:00am.

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Good tip, Nick!

[@Fatdaddio]

Ha debarking.. No pets allowed.Comfort animals are chickens and iguanas.

[@hotcrazycatladyme168]

@@Fatdaddio Debarking means to leave a ship, lol.

[@LP2488]

Matt I love how passionate you speak of perfect day at CocoCay. I however did not find it to be as thrilling as it has been advertised to be. This is definitely a park more for kids to enjoy.

[@mrs.thomas-usmcwife5686]

Thank you so much for this video! I am going the August and though we will have spending money, I don't have the money to pay for this too. I've been looking for this information all over the place! It's nice to know which parts we won't have to pay for. I'm so excited to take my kiddos here!

[@erinshann3055]

Omg I'm switching my cruise to one that goes here. I went here before many years ago and it was amazing!! :-) I don't want to need to fool with cab fare etc to get to the beach I just want to come off the ship and have it be right before me! 💕💕💕💕💕

[@unfightersjuve77]

Thanks for the infos! I'll be there in January and I can't wait! 😁

[@GFCRUSIN]

Matt, could you create something to highlight the areas where the sunken items are for snorkeling. Thanks.

[@wendye6500]

We were one of the first people off the ship and headed right over to thrill island water park. My daughter got to ride Devils tower after 40 minutes of waiting in line. An hour later it was up to 2 hrs, just for that ride. Get there first if you want to ride the particular water slide. Snack shak was sooo good. Plenty of seats and umbrellas. Going back in February and we plan on hanging out at chill island side.

[@Healthandbeauty21]

This was great!! Thanks Matt. Also the cookie and ice cream thing! Omg I am going to get that!!!

[@abandonedct]

They made the name of the Island rhyme for a reason, every time I hear “Key” I want to jump through the video and smash the camera

[@daniellelea3773]

The Bahamians pronounce cay as “key”. He’s being respectful of the local people.

[@allathepapaya9343]

Same for me! He used to say cay but now he says 🔑! If u see talking cruise about perfect day he says key! You will flip out!

[@allathepapaya9343]

Danielle Lea the Bahamians don’t care 🤷‍♂️ 😂

[@daniellelea3773]

Gladys Romagosa I was just explaining why he was saying “key”. I obviously have not done the extensive research that you have 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Fatdaddio]

cay noun \ ˈkē , ˈkā \ Definition of cay : a low island or reef of sand or coral If you pronounced Des Moines as dez moynes, Iowans would jump through the camera. Locals probably don't care, but THEY say KEY.. Even though the Cayman's is Cay man's

[@kaseyb8454]

You didn't mention the wave pool at all! That was such a fun time for us!

[@rachelklein8021]

[@antsuperstar4397]

Me too! Not my first time tho

[@robindodd1969]

I just got back from here. BY FAR the best tip is to get up as early as possible, get some food, and then head to the thrill park. This allows you to do all the waterslides without waiting at all, the lines get very long in the afternoon. Make sure you eat before leaving the ship! Their is no food on the island until around 11. When I went we messed this up and ended up doing all the waterslides, going back on the ship and getting a late breakfast, and then spending the rest of the day exploring the island/chilling at the beach.

[@mightyjoe722]

Thanks for that heads up! Definitely going to be getting that early meal then hitting all the slides.

[@robindodd1969]

@@mightyjoe722 Glad I could help. I also forgot to mention that I was able to get off the ship 20 minutes earlier than the scheduled departure time (kind of by accident but it worked to my advantage). Have fun!

[@chrisrobertson9717]

Be there on Symphony the last week of this month! Thanks Matt!

[@dchenkin02]

Thanks for the info; seen other videos of CocoCay. Did not realize Royal Caribbean charges extra for the water park on their private island.

[@Soulspeak24]

Can I bring my own snorkel gear and life jacket t snorkel on Chill Island?

[@brentos96]

Thank you for pronouncing "Cay" correctly. I get that Royal Carribean wanted to rhyme Day with Kay, but that's their own fault. Cay is pronounced "Key"!

[@kylebradt7887]

I probably should have asked this before I purchased the beach club passes. I spend 75 bucks per person. Is it worth it?

[@kaleefisher2928]

I went there and I was the first person on my ship to go on the biggest slide in North America that day

[@brendarushing6213]

cruising for the firs time in may. when will the water slides ticket be cheaper, $83.99 is a little too expensive I thing.

[@ericsowder3553]

[@ViolentAction1]

Incorrect. A cay (also spelled key; both pronounced alike as "key" English pronunciation: /kiː/) is a small, low island consisting mostly of sand or coral and situated on top of a coral reef.

[@christinaburrus1526]

[@madday9589]

Christina Arch I went a couple months ago and the lines were fine. Some slides barely had a line but a few of the really popular ones had quite long lines I spent an hour waiting in line for daredevils peak and half an hour for slingshot but overall not that bad

This video was to list some tips and tricks, not everything there is to see or do there. Snorkeling does exist.

Nice tips, but nothing about the balloon, so I'm wondering, does the balloon cost a lot extra? And it's tethered right?

[@freeduckie]

Is oasis lagoon heated pool?

[@LP2488]

No it's a regular pool

[@nijuanajones7080]

Is there a lazy river? Also is the wave pool in the area that costs extra? I'm looking for something for my 12 year old to do. He's terrified of heights so won't go on any of the water slides or the zip line so I'm thinking the water park cost is probably not worth the money for him. He would love the wave pool or a lazy river, however.

No lazy river. Wave pool is in the water park.
