When we initially booked our 1st cruise on Royal Caribbean, we weren't very enthused about going to CoCo Cay. We couldn't believe it would be much fun and thought it was being hyped up. BOY WERE WE WRONG!! CoCo Cay is AMAZING! I joked with my husband that they could just do an all CoCo Cay itinerary and call it Every Day at CoCo Cay. Can't wait to go back!

It's a damn shame that they don't offer Perfect Day for their 9-11 day cruises because I *really* want to go but 7 days is just too short. Every time I go on a 7-day, I'm left wanting more. I've always dreamed of just booking back-to-back cruises, like a 7 day + 3 day, but I don't know how logistically feasible that is.

Thank you Royal Caribbean for having these up-to-date tour vids. My husband booked our cruise and is taking care of all the planning, but my medical level anxiety has be nerves up about the amenities and such. I dont like surprises and can't be far from facilities sometimes. I was also concerned that the food and drink packages would be nothing but cheap burgers and fries that I can't eat. But RC seems to have thought about everything for everyone; young, old, special needs and so on! There is even a non alcoholic facy drink package since I cant have alcohol! How cool is that! This will be my first cruise and my first big outing outside of home, family emergencies, and work since 2020. These vids have helped me go from a nervous wreck to actually being excited about being out in public again. I am really hoping to enjoy my first cruise coming up because from the adverts and the tours this seems to be my kind of vacation!

My husband and I sailed on Freedomnof the Seas for a family reunion back in 2005. It was our very first cruise and right after Royal Caribbean acquired Coco Cay. There was barely anything on the island…a couple of drink stand, picnic tables and grills. To see it come to fruition like this is amazing! I look forward to returning there soon.
