EmptyNestTravels Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Heading to Coco Cay in a few days and the temps are forecast for 60 degrees with 14 MPH winds on our day there. Would you recommend Coco Cay Beach Club on cold weather day, or would that be a waste of money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 That depends on how you would use the Beach Club relative to anything else on the island. The only things you can't access on the rest of the island that the Beach Club has is the restaurant and the infinity pool.

smokeybandit Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 The Beach Club on a cold windy day is basically a really expensive lunch Poolside, ChrisK2793, EmptyNestTravels and 3 others 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRebecca Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 For some reason I thought the pool in the Beach Club was heated. Good to know it's not, although most of the year it won't deter me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I bought the Beach Club day pass for my November sailing. Price was cheap enough at $72 and I had never been to Coco Cay so decided to check it out. I was truly not impressed and would have been pretty upset had I paid anywhere near what the price has been lately! My upcoming cruise will be spent relaxing at one of the other beaches…eating at included dining venues…and just enjoying the day for no fee!

teddy Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 When we were there in November it was a cloudy, cool day and we opted to go back onboard. This coming Monday we have Beach Club passes. Not sure what we’re going to do. I guess we can look at the weather app on our phones to remind us how cold it is at home compared to Cococay.

You're lucky you're on a cruise this weekend According to the Boston weather guys NE is going to be getting a Nor'easter come Saturday AM. Up to a foot of snow just inland and with possible mix along the coast, depending on how it tracks. We're scheduled to be at PD on Feb 4 with a BC pass. We'll have all of next week to decide if we want to cancel. WAAAYTOOO and teddy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My upcoming cruise will be spent relaxing at one of the other beaches…eating at included dining venues…and just enjoying the day for no fee! I agree. I did it on my September sailing because it was dirt cheap and I was a solo traveling without my family. I figured it was a perfect time to check it out. It really was not my thing. Could be because I was a solo? I did meet up with 2 people I befriended on the cruise. I think the mats are nice, but so hard to get on/off-I usually pack my own hammock style pool float but didn't because of the mats. I felt the lunch was nice, the experience was ok. I definitely don't have the type of money that would allow me to take my whole family at regular price. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Ok I just did some googling and found this: www.holiday-weather.com and it provides the forecast for CocoCay. Also Royal apparently uses Underground Weather to provide current info for CocoCay.

Mike T Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 We got PDCC Waterpark passes for the 4 of us for our Sailing this coming weekend (PDCC 1/30). I only paid $46/pp for it...I have considered cancelling them but think I'm gonna ride it out and see. I did cancel our Nassau Catamaran for Saturday morning as the weather.com report states: Windy with a few showers in the morning then partly cloudy in the afternoon. High around 70F. Winds NW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of rain 30%. Winds could occasionally gust over 50 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I'd better not test positive. I'd rather a high of 69-70 at CocoCay on Monday than a high of 5-6 at camp....which is where I'll be if I can't cruise. Jolly Ogre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRebecca Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Well be at Cococay Sunday, it's going to be chilly! When we went in January 2020 (Mariner) we weren't able to dock at all due to wind so I'll be happy to step foot on the island and bundle up in a cabana for the day. Going back in May and expecting warmer weather then. Nothings getting us down for our getaway!

I've been to Coco Cay 4 times now (December, Jan, Feb), and it's never been warm enough for me to swim in either the pool or the ocean, and always super windy. But it didn't bother others.

Jkaczano Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 It’s 10 degrees in New Hampshire right now, getting down to -2 tonight. My kids (and I to be honest) wear sweatshirts outside. 60 degrees would be shorts weather for me right now and they would be in the water park.

Jill Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 @PRebecca@AshleyDillo I do feel for you two We couldn’t dock back in October due to a cold front that gave us high seas/wind. Sunday you may not even be docking due to winds. I’d stay up late Saturday, sleep in on Sunday and order room service! Still better than being home! Oh wait! You’re Sunday not Saturday!

EmptyNestTravels Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thank you for the discussion and great feedback. I decided to cancel my Coco Beach Club Full Day Pass ($189) and have already been refunded. If we are lucky enough to moor on Sunday (Independence), then I'll just walk around the island and enjoy the great food and entertainment available on PDCC. Will try the Beach Club next time when the weather is (hopefully) more cooperative. Happy sailing everyone! PPPJJ-GCVAB and kadmgs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
