Perfect Day at CocoCay Tour 2023 Full Tour!

[@willowraevynwood865]

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!

[@bradsikkema4865]

My wife and I are iffy about going to Coco Cay, sounds like you recommend it thou.

[@willowraevynwood865]

@@bradsikkema4865 Highly!

[@Psythik]

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.

[@thomasbradley6990]

That place is no joke I totally love just going there also

What do you recommend to do?

@@adriannavargas7741 Relax and eat good food. I did. I don't recommend zipline. Too short & overpriced. We were glad we didn't do it.

[@emilybalon7291]

I've watched a few of your videos now and the commentary is just awesome. I really like your "tour" style and helpful, energetic commentary. As a newbie to cruising, these videos make me feel more relaxed about booking my first cruise. Thank you.

Thank you very much!

[@knass28]

Did you get up the nerve to book your trip yet? Don't be afraid to call a travel agent to discuss your concerns. There is no cost to have a conversation and they don't charge anything above the cruise line's price if they do help you book your trip.

Matt, you've convinced me that the cruise and itinerary that we just booked was worth it. You're video has helped me immensely in my decision making -- where and what to do and see on Perfect Day!! So, thank you!!

Glad I could help!

Thanks for this video. My parents, husband & I are going in two weeks & I was trying to see what was included, without booking excursions & I love that this is all complimentary. I am so excited now.

[@pnw_and_palapas]

I've watched many YT tours of Perfect Day, but this was really helpful and well done! I appreciated the map markers in correlation to the different areas. Definitely feel confident and excited for visiting in April on my solo cruise on Wonder! Thanks for all you do Matt!

It's a really fun walk from the ship to Coco. The anticipation of what you will do all day and it's a GREAT walk back. Especially if you're hammered. Had a total BLAST there !! Absolutely love the Royal blog videos. Thank you

[@meebs86]

This is the most informative video I've seen so far about what there is to do at CocoCay, and its a LOT more than I was expecting! Hoping to go there on a cruise in early '22.

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@dedhampster4730]

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!

[@mrs.growelove]

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.

[@kernelxsanders]

I've only been on one cruise before, December 2012 on Freedom Of The Seas. Though it was the pre-renovated version of the island, this was one of our stops, along with St. Thomas and St. Maarten. It was the greatest week of my life and ever since then, I've wanted nothing more than to go back. Since recently coming across this channel, I have been living my cruise life vicariously through you, Matt. Thanks for all the content!

[@mhknutritionclinic5733]

I also haven’t been there since 2012 and am pumped to finally go back in November this year!

[@prea5663]

So we are going here in February and my 4 yr old has been watching this non stop. He's so excited.

[@sdeijio]

Such an in depth tour! I got vacation vibes watching this!

[@tru2love610]

[@Aggie4life77]

Chill island and the lagoon area would be where I’d spend most of my time. I’m looking forward to checking it out when I cruise Royal for the first time!

[@andywhiteing]

We were at Coco Cay this past week. It was a perfect day. I was skeptical until we were on the island then, WOW! We will go again.

[@ridethepace6005]

Ww just returned. I wasnt too sure about the island before going, i usually dont like contrived situations like this or theme parks. Having said that, i loved it. Didnt spend a dime extra, ate and drank and explored while also relaxing in the January sun. My wife and I agreed, we could spend several days easily without getting bored with it. Very well done.

[@tuviajeesconmigo6169]

Thanks for the excellent review. I always ask my clients to watch your video before booking with me

[@loriclark3755]

What a TERRIFIC video! I really feel like I've already been there or at least that I could arrive and know exactly where I want to go and what I want to do!! You've REALLY whetted my appetite!!! Great job, Matt! Very thorough!

[@BreeOlson9]

You should have everything comped at Royal Caribbean if you don’t already- you give a better sales pitch than anything they do or anything other cruise lines do as well. Royal doesn’t even fit my vibe the most but your videos are so detailed and positive- it makes me feel most secure to go Royal.

[@miguelangelcativo4]

We just got back from a cruise on the Adventure which had 2 days at Coco Cay, we did both sides and I got to say they were both great. We had great weather both days and due to reduced capacity the thrill park was empty, basically just went up the stairs and down the slides with out waiting.

[@stephaniekrieger9499]

It changed so much since I was there back in 2014....we still had a taxi boat take us to and from the island at designated times. It sure was lovely but this is the upgrade the island needed.

[@CB-ou2vi]

Were you on cruise or resort?

[@jbc234]

Its looks like a blast maybe someday ill be able to go

[@gq7654]

I wish that I had the chance to watch this video before going to Coco Cay last month. We only spent our time at Chill Island and did some kayaking. I had no idea that there's tons of other stuff to do. Well, I just booked our next Royal Cruise, so see you soon Coco Cay! Thanks for the video!

[@sachaput]

This looks like a lot of fun. Especially nice that the food is free and you do have options. Planning a possible cruise later this year with family, so I will definitely suggest RC as an option. Took my first RC cruise out of Los Angeles this past December and it was great.

Thank you for this review. Trying to decide between Royal Caribbean going to CocoCay vs. Disney going to CastawayCay, so I especially appreciate seeing what they have for children, especially young children (under 10).

Nicely done, Matt! This brings so many memories... went there for the first time last week on Oasis of the Seas and had a BLAST!! Can't wait to go back and experience more!!!

[@kmotzny]

I was just there in September, and I loved it! I saw the beach, but stayed in the Oasis Lagoon. I couldn't bear to leave it - it was the most awesome pool I've ever been in! Going back in February with my husband for an anniversary cruise and I can't wait! Thanks for this video. Since I loved the pool so much I never explored the rest of the island. :) I love your videos!!! Thanks for sharing all of the RC information with us.

My only request would be that you give the cost of the Cabanas, beach club and water park, even though I know the prices vary by season of the year, at least it would give us an idea of the cost to expect. Instead of just saying it's expensive. Thanks.
