CocoCay and jet skis

[AlwaysRollin]

I'm on Allure 11/27, our itinerary was changed and now we're going to CocoCay.  Based on the recommendations I've read on this awesome forum, we got the Beach Club. I see that there are jet ski's that you can rent and I've seen some videos about them, it is a jet ski tour.  As of this moment, there is no shore excursion listed for this.  So my question is basically, are the jet ski rentals just a booth you go to and sign up once you're on the island or is it normally offered as an excursion (like the zip lining or roller coaster ride at Labadee)?

I can't answer your Jet Ski query but we are on Allure 4/16/22. We also had a schedule change and the cruise planner just today populated Coco Cay. Good luck! Welcome to the cruise society for happy vacationers!

I've always seen it as an excursion. It's a follow the leader tour, not just renting jetskis by the hour like a lot of islands do.

It should be available on the cruise planner. There’s apparently a different booking for the passenger as it’s a 2 person jet ski. 

[AlwaysRollin]

I figured it should be in the planner as it is a tour.  It is definitely not in MY cruise planner for our day at CocoCay.

Keep checking it , they will bring it back I guess.

We did it around September and it was allot of fun. You get a safety and orientation for 15 minutes and then you get on the jet ski for 30 to 45 minutes , riding in a line after the instructor.

For anyone following, I just got off the phone with RC and they told me that the jet ski tour is not being offered as an excursion.  I'm surprised that it was available before and not now. Something must have happened to make them not offer this anymore.

If you don't mind me asking, when is your cruise?

[foxrunner]

Not at all! I'm trying not to jinx it by putting in the next cruise tagline!

Still on our planner for our 22 Nov 21 visit.    I booked it too.

I was at Cocoa Beach this past Thursday and overheard someone saying there were no jet skis but a little later on we saw several out in the water to the right of South Beach.  No clue…..

So just like every other excursion we tried to book, this one was also cancelled. Except instead of covid, this was cancelled because of bad weather. It's overcast and breezy. Just have backup plans for this since I imagine they cancel it all the time

Still on cruise planner for Oasis Dec 19th 2021

Having done this tour several times. I can say that it is a lot of fun. It is a tour that is about an hour to an hour and a half long. You are not able to go out on your own. They will cancel this tour if the seas get to rough. I will say that in the past I have been able to walk up and do this tour, if it is running.

Hello RC family, I will be cruising in June 23-30, 2023 on the 7 night Oasis of the Seas Bahamas Cruise. I previously did this same cruise in August 2022 and remember doing a jet ski excursion at RC Coco Cay Island. But I am not finding it listed any longer. Anyone have any idea what happened? or of how I can find out more or book it?

Hi @Tashana727. We sail Oasis 2 weeks after you and had the same question. For our sailing, Jet ski, Balloon and zip line were not showing in our CP. after some digging, we found out that they have never been loaded to the Oasis cruise planner. However, they were loaded to Independence that visits CCC the same day. We called Royal and they confirmed they were never loaded for Oasis passengers but were for Independence. Now most are sold out without ever having been offered to Oasis passengers. Royal opened a ticket but we have not heard anything back. I checked your sailing and it is the same as ours. Loaded to ID but not to OA. Most are already sold out. You may want to call Royal. They will tell you they are just sold out but you have to push them to see they are loaded to Independence and ask to speak to resolutions. I attached a few screen shots from Independence visiting same day as you (sails 6/26/23 at CCC 6/27).

I’ve been waiting on Jet Ski slots to open for my stop for over a month.  I initially booked a driver (me) and a passenger (my wife) during the Black Friday sale.  I picked a 2pm slot.  Later I decided that 2pm was late if we decide that we’ve had enough by noon and didn’t want to wait around for the Jet Ski.  I also decided to get two drivers so we could both have our own, but all I could get was one at 10am.  The time was perfect.  I grabbed that and when I tried to book my wife as a passenger (in case another Jet Ski didn’t become available) it only offered 9am and 2pm.  No 10am, which is odd.  I called RCI and was told I’ll be able to book the passenger while on the ship even though it’s not available now.  I’m skeptical of course.  I’m hoping another 10am driver opens up, but I’m not holding my breath.  If they won’t open a 10am passenger for the Mrs. we’ll probably cancel the Jet Ski completely.  Can you cancel an RCI excursion the day before?

In your situation if they can't get you a passenger slot when onboard, they will let you cancel.

We are leaving on the Freedom of the Seas in June and I would love to ride a jet ski when we get to Coco Bay Beach. Are there any to rent while there?
