Bbjunkie Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I LOVE it and can not wait to go back. I travelled with several others in a very large group, and we are discussing going together again with a main requirement being visiting Coco Cay. It truly was our perfect day.

Watching this thread because I have honestly been avoiding looking at any cruises that stop there because I don't get the appeal. Not bashing it. Just never been and wasn't sure what the big deal was about it. Since so many itineraries seem to stop there, it would open up a lot of options for me if I learn more about it from seeing why folks love it.

Mike P Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 There is a 2 day Indy sailing in May that goes to Perfect Day. I am very tempted to book it so my kids can check it out (I felt SO guilty going there without them!). This is the only way my older daughter could see it for 2 years due to nursing school beginning next month.

Neesa Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Is it possible to purchase a water park admission same day? Some trepidation on my teens part as the Island is so big with so much to do. We have a cabana at the Oasis (we were lucky & purchased before the huge price increase) and really wanted to settle in and see if this is something she would participate in. The pictures are beautiful, looking forward to this "Perfect Day" Corny? NO WAY, pure joy is what I feel when reading this blog's posts!! Thanks everyone.

Yes, a very nice 5-10 minute walk along the beach. Since South Beach is closed for construction we'll have to split between Chill Island and the pool. The pool is so huge, it's actually not terribly far from anything. Picture doesn't do it justice.

If not, this isn’t going to be a great stop for you. On the other hand, if you do enjoy these things, Coco Cay is one of the best stops offered by RC.

We were there on Symphony during the second week that Perfect Day was open. There were 6464 passengers aboard and they said that 5800 got off. And with all those people, this is how South Beach looked at about 11AM. Relaxation at it's best! At that time in our area were 15 beach beds and 20 bungalows (we paid $219 for the bungalow and that included food delivery, water and floating beach mats). Next to us were the beach loungers. I actually don't know where the cabanas were. JohnK6404 and DublinFC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregD Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 While I was there before it was labeled perfect day, we had a cabana on what is now called Chill Island. It was a great way to spend the day, and my daughter was living her best life chasing away the seagulls for all the other guests. Discovering all of the hermit crabs in the rock wall was also a highlight for my two kids. On an exciting note, we will be sailing on Navigator on September 23rd with a stop here, and we again have a Chill Island Cabana, and we cant wait to explore and see all of the other improvements!

LMAO Off topic, but I am sure it is true for Thrill water slides. Hubby did the water slides on Adventure. There are 2 slides side by side.1 is under 225, and 1 is below 300. At the top of the slide there is a scale. They weighed him (218 lbs) This was day 3 on a 9 day cruise, he was going to the gym everyday for 45 mins, but after that he was in the gym 75 mins so he could still enjoy food DublinFC and Hoski 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDIAZ72 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Our perfect day in Cococay began with storms. My little son said it was a "rainy day at Cococay". Thus, when we wanted to access Thrill waterpark, they were about to close it due to bad weather. After an hour and a half the storm passed and we were able to enter the Waterpark. We enjoyed a very good day, especially my children. Cococay is perfectly prepared so that there are no problems with large crowds. In the end it was a great day, a perfect wrap to finish our cruise. spiralqueen, Matt, Hoski and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
