Perfect Day at CocoCay Tour 2025 Full Tour!

[@Pug71]

They should have a cruise where they just stay at CocoCay for 3 days! Give me 3 Sea Days on the Icon and 3 land days on CocoCay and I’m golden!

[@jonimceachern9284]

I'm in.

[@wss6an]

This will be our first cruise to CocoCay. This vide was super helpful. Thanks for doing this.

[@MsFox2u]

We were at Perfect Day 2 weeks agoaand alll excursios were canceled due to high winds, but WOS did dock as well as Oasis of the Seas. It wasn't too crowded and we just hung out at Chill Island. Plenty of seating. Chilled Grill was great, too!!!

[@theresanyamekye]

Did they refund you your money for the excursions or ??

[@MsFox2u]

@@theresanyamekye Yes, they refunded it as an onboard credit. They don't refund it back to the credit card. I was able to use it to spend on shopping at their $12 sale.

[@amyparis5756]

Thank you for thoroughly explaining Coco Cay. Very helpful.

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

You are so welcome!

[@shyrahhall4266]

I went on my first cruise July 5th, it stopped at coco cay, it was so nice, I could’ve stayed at oasis lagoon all day and just relax. Didn’t pay for anything extra. Food was good, I wish we had two days here instead of port canveral.

[@craigpaige7065]

This place is unbelievable and part of the cruise. I would say this definitely makes the cruise worth it.

[@FraserAtSea]

Oh man, I am DYING to get to Coco Cay - it looks absolutely AMAZING!

[@GlitzyGeez]

OMG! I just returned from a trip Perfect Day at Cococay and I missed it already. I enjoyed every moment of the time we spent there.

[@lampgz]

the fact that royal caribbean charges so much and has everything else for an extra cost is mind blowing

[@brianah1469]

Especially for families. I have a big household, and the main cruise package price alone is super expensive! Never mind an excursion or extras.

[@ssss-wb1rq]

So true, but I have been to Cococay 15 times in the last 2 yrs and only paid for extras 1 time ($100 for the coco beach club) There is so many included activities/food options to choose from I still don't feel the need to pay anything extra

[@LordHotcakes]

@@ssss-wb1rqI’m going to Coco Cay for the first time in May. Debating if we want to pay the cost to get into the water park. You haven’t been?

[@ssss-wb1rq]

No I haven't been to Thrill waterpark - but that's because I have annual passes to Volcano Bay, Aquatica, and Disney water parks.. If you don't live in an area that has many water parks - perhaps try it out - I haven't heard anything bad about it. @@LordHotcakes

[@marybarlow7291]

Thank you so much for this video!! Heading there in less than 3 weeks for my third time. The first two times I felt lost and had no idea where to go. This video helped me so much make a plan and not miss out on anything fun!

[@sircharlesmormont9300]

I think Royal needs to seriously consider more transparent, consistent pricing for Perfect Day add-ons. I am planning a visit in 2025. It's hard to budget for Perfect Day or even to know which sailing to choose when you can't see the prices.

[@paullp985]

My wife and i have been there 4 times and never spent extra.

[@SayKyleNotCow]

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.

[@karentaylor2160]

Thanks Matt, great vid, going in May, WOS, booked the waterpark for us, can't wait

[@kerrymotiejaitis7929]

We were there last month with Royal Caribbean odyssey of the sea, totally beautiful and well worth it.

[@StacyWilliams-h9u]

This was so so helpful thank you! Makes me not want to do it anymore b/c you sit the whole time haha!

[@ireneimboden9566]

On my one trip to Perfect Day, we only went to the Chill portion. This video reminds me I need to see more of the island next time!

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

You should!

[@garethv1969]

Me too.

[@rodmills737]

I love Coco Cay , I went there in October on Harmony of the Sea and I’m going back in November on Wonder of the Sea, best port I’ve been to, me and the wife hung out in South Beach area

[@brianwilliams5973]

I was just at Coco Cay last week, this was my second time going I had a 6 day on Adventures of the Seas, I booked the new Hideaway adults only beach area and man I will say they did it up right, loved it, plenty of beach chairs , I will say they need to add a few more waiters , the one that was working our section did pretty good but could have used some help, outside of that everything was perfect, the pool is plenty big and the drinks were awesome, Hideaway Huts food was fresh and hot and hit the spot, will definitely book it in November when I go on Utopia of the Seas!!

[@veronicaandrade462]

How long are you actually on the island?

[@brianwilliams5973]

@@veronicaandrade462 you get off the ship around 8 am and don’t have your be back until around 4 or 4:30 if I remember correctly, you will be given the times it could vary from ship to ship but I think that’s about the normal times

[@joanroberson8481]

In May will be back on cococay and at one point the beach club was run $ 340. Now it’s costing $270 each. Once we gave $180 and I thought that was too much. RC is very proud of their beaches😂

[@christyhill376]

I'm going in November and this video is so helpful! This island is mind blowing!! I can't wait to be there!!

[@jeffthanson]

Well done Matt and team! Are you exhausted after that voiceover? Thanks for all the info!

[@tracyschmitt8579]

This was so helpful! Thanks so much for making this video!

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Thank you for watching!

[@brentshuffler1234]

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....

[@cywoods60]

Oh Matt thanks so much for sharing this with us. I can't wait to go to Perfect Day At CocoCay.

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@AmiayaMalave-uc1bk]

Fantastic information 😅 Thank you ❤

[@michaellott6749]

Matt, you and your team do a wonderful job on these videos. We are going on Allure of the Seas on May 27th and your videos are very helpful.

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Thank you for watching!

[@sardadassmahadeo1113]

So excited will be visiting next month on Liberty

[@theresanyamekye]

Thanks for this video, taking my cruise with my son in July. I was wondering what are we going to do but now i see it's plenty to do aside from the excursions. Thought i had to do excursions or they would be nothing to do

[@TheRiverPirate13]

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.

[@nolandry84]

Awesome video! Thanks for all the great info you provide. I feel ready and excited for my 1st cruise in 45 days on Oasis of the Seas!! Thanks

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JamieRydberg]

We sailed on the Oasis back in November. It's an amazing ship. Enjoy!

Thank you so very much for this video this would be my first time on Royal caribbean ship going in September.

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Glad it was helpful!

[@anniedellaquila134]

Loved the coco cay beach club- pool and beach was beautiful. The service was terrific. Went there with ICON. On previous cruises I look for the Cuban sandwich at the islands windjammer style buffet. 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.

[@ModernMyths]

Here's a little thing I learned from my last visit there. Since the Island is owned by Royal. If you have the internet package, you can actually use their internet on the island! So if you want to stream some of the fun you are doing, show your family why they should of came with you, or just relax on the hammock and watch a video or 2. Just make sure not to take your phone off airplane mode! XD

[@jasminej.542]

Great info y'all thanks! That's good to know!

[@jakeswanson2638]

Ive been on 2 Royal Caribbean cruises and your videos get me so hyped until I can go on another one. Keep up the vids!

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@teddybetts3254]

18:19 I went to Coco Cay in late September 2022 on the Oasis. Covid restrictions were being let up and they had the floating cabanas for what was considered dirt cheap; $1,700. I had the money and they were available, but I couldn't justify spending that much, especially if you only have the cabana for 8 hours.

[@clydereid2976]

Thanks Matt loved your enthusiasm and video. Thank you for sharing.

[@mindyinoregon3927]

I was at cocccay island when it was combined with a Bahamas cruise 23 years ago, and boy they've really made cococay waaaayy better than what I remember. 23 years would do it lol. It was a rough island, almost seemed still undeveloped. i was on a princess cruise at the time though.

[@William_wayne84]

Unfortunately we went to coco cay last week and got evacuated from the island! We were pretty bummed but we still get to spend a few hours there.

[@martinmauger4174]

J'y serai en novembre 2024 sur Icon of the sea. J'ai pas tout compris ce que le narrateur disait , car je trouvais qu'il parlait trop vite, je comprend un peu la langue anglaise, mais j'aurais aimé une traduction en français! Très hâte d'être là en novembre 2024!!! ❤❤

Me and D are going on Adventure Of The Seas on 7/27/24 and the day before we get of the ship we are going there. Can't wait!

[@gadgetgal6852]

When we went to Thrill Island we got there right when it opened. There were hardly any guest there, lines didn’t get long until about noon. Our ship was the only one there for the day but next month we’ll be on Icon and Independence will be there 2 hours before us. I think we’ll skip Thrill Island this time.

Isn't "Perfect Day at CocoCay" supposed to rhyme? Like that's sort of the whole point of the phrase?

He always says key. Its is annoying but I like the info otherwise.

The proper Bahamian pronunciation is "key". The fact it rhymes is a coincidence, because Perfect Day at Lelepa doesn't rhyme

Are you able to enjoy CocoCay with buying an additional package or you must purchase a day pass

[@Queenlemoncake]

Coco cay is free. The beach club and waterpark are extra.

[@gillianessien7417]

Staying at Grand Flo and Animal Kingdom this summer (DVC) happy I chose well lol

[@LeeCabell]

What are the prices for water park and other things not included?

[@kyleeury667]

You mentioned that the swim up bar at South Beach costs extra. I could not find a price for this on the RC site. Do you actually have to pay money to swim out there and use the bar? Does the drink package work at that swim up bar? It does not look like something that should cost extra.

[@Noctus2222]

The extra cost mentioned is having to buy the Sri is if you don’t have a package

[@veronicaandrade462]

I might have missed it, but with all this island to explore how much time are you allowed there? When do you get off and have to get back on the ship?

How wheelchair accessible is CocoCay? The Straw Market looks like it is all sand. Is the balloon accessible? In fact, it looks like you have to go through sand to get almost anywhere.

Hi, I can’t seem to get any ballpark price on how much it cost to rent snorkel gear at Coco Cay, do you know around how much they charge to rent snorkel gear there? Also, I had to ask you in another video comment about if activities on the ship, such as waterslides and Rockwall, etc., staying open on port day (such as perfect day at CocoCay and Nassau?

[@beezneez2056]

As for the snorkel gear, we learned the hard way from a previous excursion to buy our own! Doesn’t have to be a professional set, just something for an adult from a sporting goods store. Toss it in your suitcase and thank me later!
