Contact a travel agent. They have access to a Royal Caribbean agent site that allows them to view a pre cruise planner for any sailing and should be able to tell you what the current rate is for stuff on a specific sailing. If you are looking at something 18-24+ months out some of the info may not be posted yet, but regardless it’s a great tool for what you’re talking about.

Matt, here are two observations: [1] This island looks very much like Icon of the Seas (e.g., distinctive neighbourhoods; variety of bars and restaurants; many slides and pools, etc.) except that the island has many more square feet per guest. . . [2] ironically, the fact that so many people go ashore on port-days is one of the wonderful benefits for the few that stay on a cruiseship whenever it docks. I also think that there are more food-options and beverages on the ships than on any of the land-based venues....Truly, a Royal Caribbean/Holland America/Carnival or similar type/size of modern cruise-ship is a multifaceted destination in itself....

Matt, I have visited Coco Cay back when it was just a relaxing private island destination before the pier and all the different island experiences were created. Basically, before Coco Cay was turned into a version of an Atlantis waterpark. I feel something was lost when RCCL added so much to the island. I visited Hideaway Beach at Coco Cay the 2nd day it was opened for paying cruise passengers earlier this month. Was it fun? Absolutely! I kept thinking though the whole time this energy & fun should be in the pool area of a cruise ship vs the island. I've visit MSC's Ocean Cay twice in the last year and it reminds me of Coco Cay before all the changes. Far more tranquil and quieter. I do realize though just from observation that Coco Cay evolution has been a success for Royal Caribbean with cruise passengers. However, I'm looking forward to seeing Labadee in April as it looks far more relaxed than Coco Cay is now.

The experience of lunch at the beach club at beach club pavilion was extra special. Food was amazing. Lunch was quiet. Landscape of island coco cay beach club with chairs, lounges, exclusive towels, and waiter service is exclusive and beautiful. The bathrooms are exclusive and air conditioned. I was impressed. Still not sure if it’s worth the price point, but I thought it was worth a try on ICON. I was not disappointed at all.
