The Bahamas is an unrivalled destination for Caribbean cruises – boasting pristine beaches, vibrant wildlife and marine life and irresistibly warm weather. The island nation hosts a vast collection of postcard-perfect cays and islands glistening like jewels in the Atlantic, but there’s a standout exclusive Bahamian island that combines high-end resort-like experiences and absolute seclusion vibes: Perfect Day at Cococay!
From a fairly sleepy island in the Berry Islands chain, Royal Caribbean International transformed Perfect Day at Cococay into a private one-stop cruise holiday destination. Exclusively available to Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises passengers, this island offers a diverse array of activities that cater to every guest. While the thrilling water slides may catch your eye, CocoCay is also home to spectacular beaches, luxurious amenities, and delectable dining options. The best part? One of the recent refurbishments on the island is the addition of a pier, allowing cruise ships to dock directly without ferrying passengers from tender ports.
Hi, I’m Sam, host of Cruise TV by LoveitBookit and Product Manager. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Perfect Day at Cococay during the 2024 Celebrity Cruises President's Cruise. Guided by Celebrity's President, Laura Hodges Bethge, I got an insider's perspective on the island's offerings and the vision behind its development.
I’m excited to share my top tips, personal experiences, and recommendations to help you make the most of your Perfect Day at Cococay…
Whether the dream island getaway you are picturing in your head involves larger-than-life-thrills or simply relaxing and unwinding at a chill beachfront spot, Perfect Day at Cococay packs a punch of experiences for everyone! I recommend these main attractions that you should not miss out on:
Elevate your experience at Coco Beach Club – a luxurious private oasis, perfect for those seeking secluded serenity and an extravagant islander lifestyle. For an exclusive and luxurious experience, Coco Beach Club offers overwater cabanas, an infinity pool, and premium dining options. With its own private restaurant serving everything from fillet mignon to freshly grilled lobster tail, this is the ultimate spot for those seeking that VIP experience!
Amenities You’ll Find Here:
Overwater Cabanas: Experience the epitome of luxury with private cabanas featuring hammocks, freshwater showers, waterslides and personalised butler service.
Infinity Pool: Soak your cares away in the stunning infinity pool, situated on the beachfront – where the ocean views are as spectacular as the service. Watch the world go by with a cocktail at hand…
Dining: Indulge in gourmet meals and cocktails in an upscale setting, from the comfort of your cabana or at a table by the sea.
What better way to spend a day on the beach than revelling in the thrill of water activities or simply lounging on the powdery shores? Chill Island is a tranquil paradise perfected with calm waters, plenty of lounge chairs and cabanas for a relaxing day by the sea. This beach area is the closest to the pier, offering incredible opportunities for snorkelling, jet-ski tours, shopping and dining.
Best Things to Do:
Snorkelling: Explore the vibrant underwater world with snorkelling excursions, allowing you to get up close and personal with tropical fish and colourful coral reefs. Basic snorkel equipment is available for rent at the Snorkel Shack.
Stay in a Cabana: Rent a private cabana for a day of ultimate relaxation and privacy. Soak up the endless views of blue from the comfort of your private retreat!
Beachside BBQ: Enjoy a delicious beachside barbeque with a variety of mouth-watering options!
Royal Caribbean International has recently introduced the latest addition to Perfect Day at Cococay’s amazing beachfront spaces, tailored exclusively to provide some grown-up fun! Nestled away from the bustling activities of the main island, this secluded beach area offers a retreat where you can enjoy island vibes, the gentle ocean breeze and relax in a child-free environment…
What I Enjoyed:
Infinity Edge Pool: The centrepiece of Hideaway Beach is its gorgeous infinity edge pool. Overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas, this pool is perfect for cooling off from the relentless Caribbean heat. Take a leisurely swim, sip on a cocktail from the swim-up bar, or simply float and let your worries melt away.
Endless Activities: Whilst Hideaway Beach is all about relaxation, there's no shortage of activities to enjoy. Engage in beachside yoga sessions, join a beach volleyball game, or take a paddleboard out for a serene glide over the calm waters. The area also has live music and entertainment, providing the perfect soundtrack to your day in paradise.
Impeccable Service: It goes without saying that the service onboard a cruise is second to none. What sets Hideaway Beach apart is the commitment to personalised service, from refreshing towels to curated cocktails, every detail is designed to enhance your perfect day!
Tired of the beach? Oasis Lagoon is the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, offering a refreshing escape from the saltwater. This sprawling pool area features a massive swim-up bar, so you can sip on your favourite tropical cocktail without ever leaving the water. Surrounding the lagoon are numerous padded sun loungers, where you can relax and catch that golden glow in the Bahamian sun.
My Top Tips:
Swim-Up Bar: Sip on your favourite tropical cocktail without ever leaving the water. My Top Tip: if you have a drinks package on your cruise, this will also work at CocoCay.
Loungers: Surrounding the lagoon are numerous padded sun loungers, where you can relax and catch that golden glow in the Bahamian sun.
No island adventure is complete without indulging in delicious food and drinks. Perfect Day at CocoCay offers several dining options that cater to all tastes and diets. You will be delighted to know that there are complimentary dining venues throughout the island, so you can satisfy your cravings anytime! These are some of my foodie favourites:
Captain Jack's: Enjoy live music, signature chicken wings, and refreshing drinks in the sun with a more vibrant atmosphere. Captain Jack’s is a fantastic place to feel like a local while soaking up salty sea breezes and treating your tastebuds to Caribbean-style bites, all while the musicians set the mood with groovy tunes! My Top Tip: Captain Jack’s is a speciality dining and offers a la carte prices, so additional costs apply if you choose to dine here.
Skipper's Grill: Set right on the harbour, this complimentary restaurant serves a variety of options, from burgers and sandwiches to fresh salads and desserts. My Top Tip: Be sure to sample the famous signature staple Funnel Cake. Don't worry, cruise calories don’t count!
Chill Grill: Savour beachside BBQ with a variety of mouth-watering options at this complimentary barbecue lunch venue on the island. My Top Tip: Pair off beachside classics with an ice-cold brew or the classic Bahama Mama cocktail.
Perfect Day at CocoCay is designed to offer every visitor their ideal island experience. Whether you crave adventure, relaxation, luxury or atmosphere – this private island in the Bahamas provides the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable day. So, pack your sunscreen, bring your sense of adventure and get ready to discover your perfect day at CocoCay…
