No FOMO here. I pick a chair shaded under a palm tree, swim a bit, eat some lunch and then take a relaxing nap. Perfect day at the beach to me. I like that it can be low key and no real rush to be anywhere. Love PDCC ❤️🏝

I just got back from a 7 Day cruise on Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas. We needed at least 2 Days at COCO CAY. The 1 Day that we had there , went so fast. Good Food , an so much to Do. Plus it had to be the Cleanest, prettiest Water I have ever Seen. I could see my feet , it was so Clear. My wife an I did the Beach, instead of the Water Park. But we still had a very Good Time.

@kittydogcalendar8090 Год назад

I went here for the first time with my family on my first ever cruise in July. We were on Harmony of the Seas. My mom and I went on the waterslides, which were pretty scary ngl but they were fun! The rest of the day would've been awesome had I not gotten a huge sunburn.. yeah not fun :( but the rest of it was great! Also the food was so good! And before we left we got treats, and though I didn't eat them, I wish I did. The beach was also beautiful and I had fun swimming in it.

My family and I have been here once and going back in February 2022. With kids the thrill side was amazing, we were there all day and the kids had to be dragged back to the boat. If it was I is adults going, defiantly going to the beach club!

@TVHouseHistorian Год назад

I was on the Harmony last week, and spent the day at Coco Cay (they pronounce it "KAY," not "KEY," like Disney does, by the way). It was truly the perfect day. I did not do the Coco Beach Club, but the complementary food had in the regular area was spot-on delicious. I floated in and out of every beach, and also did the water park. Even for the issues I have with Royal Caribbean, Perfect Day at Coco Cay definitely lives up to its name, and was the perfect experience to cap off a wonderful voyage.

Gonna go for the first time in a couple of months with a group of 8… we’ll have two elderly folks, another person with mobility issues, and two kids aged 4 & 6, so getting a cabana was a no brainer. We can really use the server and the “home base” location for people to chill and eat/drink/nap at the beach and I don’t have to worry about everyone while I take my daughter around to have a blast swimming, splashing, dancing, and eating all over the island.

@@PeaseFamilyVideo I’m not Mike but just got back from COCO CAY. The place is absolutely breathtaking. And I’m not kidding . It was the best stop on our 7 Day Cruise. But in terms of the your mother in law. Just let her lounge near any of the beaches. While you guys swim. The views from any part of coco cay. Will put anyone in a Good Mood. An the Good thing about coco Cay is : you don’t have to do anything . Even if you don’t Swim. You can just lounge around an take in the Beautiful Views from their. Plus the Food is already paid for in your Cruise fare, an is very Good.

I got a cabana for our group of 8 for all the reasons Matt mentioned (home base, service), but surprised that South Beach was $600 and Chill Beach was $1000. Are they really that different? I realize that SB is farther away from stuff, but still…

I was on Freedom of the Seas on October 18th. We were with another family and had an over the water Cabana. We never left it only to go to the restroom!

@ryanmatthew511 Год назад

I miss the old CocoCay. They took lots of free space and beautiful pool area and turned it into the “Oasis” which isn’t an Oasis at all. Loud ponding music all day. No free pool to have a quiet swim. Beaches were same as they were, food great as usual. Perfect day at CocoCay is just a way of squeezing more $$ out of cruises , it’s not a better experience for those not wanting to pay $200 to sit in lines for waterslide or $2500 or a cabana.

Hi Matt! Can you bring pool floats to perfect day at cococay?

@larbot3433 2 года назад

It looks amazing but is it just me, or do cruise lines seem to be looking for more and more ways to extract money? Cruising is great because you pay a fare (which can be quite high) and included in that fare you get a full vacation with everything included. But now they are adding more and more that you have to do - and private islands means that you miss real destinations and also the local economy of these places are going ot suffer.

@y0ubetcham0m 2 года назад

Does anyone know where the best snorkeling is? It will be our first time there and just floating around, looking at pretty fishies is my idea of a perfect beach day.

@northflwanderers 11 месяцев назад

Amazing how this video is only a year old and the prices have doubled or tripled for the extras. The Beach Club day pass is now $283 for a stay in January 2024. The over the water cabanas are now $3799.00. Unbelievable price gouging to make up for the Covid downtime I guess... or perhaps just Greed by RCCL.

@sheilarigerman6091 2 года назад

Will be looking for some live music and wandering the island. Hoping we like the island better than we think. We're not all day beach/ pool or water slide people. Keeping an open mind. The island wasn't part of our original itinerary. Sad that the Sea Doo's won't be available as we would have enjoyed that.

@brettparnell8254 2 года назад

I'd split the day between the pool and beach, and always buy the drink package.

@kathygarcia7395 2 года назад

It's nice but don't think they should charge so much for the water park and wave pool. Back in July we did a stop at Amber Cove. Their zip line was under 30 dollars for all day. When we stopped at Coco Cay I did some snorkeling on my own. We then ate at the free buffet. The food was good and there was plenty to choose from. I think in total we spent a little over two hours on the island. I do have to say it was a major step up from when we were there just over 6 years ago.

We are trying to figure out what a "perfect day at Coco Cay", will look like for is. We are visiting in the spring & winter of 2022. Do we do the water park on the 1st sailing, or wander around, soak up the sun, and liberally use our DBP???? Decisions, decisions.

Cay comes from the Spanish Cayo, which would be neither key nor K, but more like kie rhyming with pie. It seems like RC probably created the catch phrase Perfect Day at Coco Cay to rhyme, otherwise it's pretty awkward to say.
