Picture It: Your Perfect Day at CocoCay

Have you ever had a family trip to a water park? How about a beach vacation? How about: have you ever spent the day on a private Bahamian island, stocked entirely with state-of-the-art water slides and luxe resort amenities? One of those hypotheticals is not like the other — one of those hypotheticals is a perfect day. A Perfect Day at CocoCay — Royal Caribbean’s award-winning private destination in the Bahamas — is a place unlike any other. To make the most of your time on this island packed with exciting thrills and relaxing chills, it helps to have a plan. Here are our recommendations to make your day here as perfect as possible.

A private-island water park? What's not to love?

Morning

When you first disembark from your ship, there are two ways you can play it. You could scope out the perfect place to serve as your home base for the day — the shady cabanas of Chill Islandsm are a favorite choice of many. Or, you could drop your stuff on any of the many lounge chairs next to Thrill Waterpark® and beeline it to one of the tallest slides in North America at Daredevil’s Tower. With exclusive early access, you can ride all the slides several times over before the park opens to the rest of the passengers.

The best place to chill out and soak up the sun on a tropical island is: anywhere.

Midday

Once you’ve conquered all the slides to your liking, it’s probably time to recharge with a healthy dose of R&R. There’s no shortage of places to lounge pool- or beach-side. Harbor Beach, South Beach and Chill Island all allow for making sandcastles while being serenaded by the gentle lull of the ocean’s waves. Oasis Lagoon is more than just another pool — it’s the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, complete with a swim-up bar serving ice-cold Coco Locos. When it comes time to eat, Chill Grill, Captain Jack’s and Skipper’s Grill are the isle’s dining options — dishes like mango habanero chicken wings, Cuban sandwiches, grilled Bahamian lobster and fresh tropical fruit all pair well with a Mai Tai. After eating, the private overwater cabanas off the coast of Coco Beach Club make for the perfect post-lunch siesta, but if you’re the “seize the day” type, then the zip line is probably calling to you.

If you think this view is great, wait till you see it in person.

Your Perfect Day’s Finale…

…Is whatever you want to make it. Undoubtably, the slides are calling to you again — but so are the beaches. There truly is no bad spot on the island to spend your final hours at Perfect Day at CocoCay, but for a one-of-a-kind view (and one-of-a-kind finale), you’ll want to hightail it to a ride on Up, Up and Away: the isle’s one-and-only helium balloon. Up there, 450 feet off the ground, peering out over the isle and beyond miles of ocean to glimpse the horizon kiss the sky is the sort of souvenir you’ll treasure for years (and years) to come.

Just because your time at Perfect Day at CocoCay has come to an end, doesn’t mean your perfect day is ending. With a breezy tram ride back to the pier, you’re back aboard your Royal Caribbean cruise ship — where the night is young, the onboard amenities are plush and the rest of your vacation awaits. Whether you’re heading to St. Thomas, Nassau, St. Maarten or Miami, you’re in for the trip of a lifetime.
