emsff02 1,538 Report post Posted September 15, 2019 Yes Coco Cay is open. No all activites are fully operatonal yet. We will be there nexr week and were advised by Royal that our booked Up Up and Away Helium ride will not happen. I am not sure about everything else though. 1 Lola reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twangster 21,913 Report post Posted September 15, 2019 Fully operational except for the Helium balloon. They had to drain all the helium off and store the entire rig. I suspect they may be holding off for the end of hurricane season to re-assemble it but that is speculation on my part. 1 Mike P reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedNoodles 3,423 Report post Posted September 15, 2019 There's a global helium shortage, so it may take that much time to procure that much, lol 2 SteveinSC and Mike P reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has been over 80 years since the last hydrogen based air ship disaster.

Only things I noticed was that the snorkeling wasn't as good -- fish and coral destroyed by the hurricane--and there was seaweed that didn't exist in mid-May. So if you go to the Chill Island beaches, be selective about the cove you choose for swimming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klc317 59 Report post Posted September 17, 2019 We are going in about 18 days. Haven't been for a few years so it should be interesting to see although we aren't looking to spend a bunch of money extra for all the huge slides and stuff. Glad they kept the chill side. And the huge pool looks good to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan05 23 Report post Posted September 18, 2019 We were there 9/12 and everything was in good shape (other then the balloon not operating). We we're on Mariner and Navigator was in port as well. That was a bit of a surprise, and made it very crowded in the water park, but all of the facilities seemed to be in order. Royal Caribbean has done a great job with Coco Cay.

Worried about chairs because we have a large party. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worried about chairs because we have a large party. I't seemed like we arrived and departed with in an hour of each other. The water park was busy, but the beach did not seem to be over crowded. We never made it to the oasis pool. Having two days at the island will probably help spread the crowd out a little more. Have fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
