Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas Port Reviews

The slides were super fun and the swim up pool bar was a hit

Brought our own snorkels and found a wrecked boat with plenty of fish out by the second platform at Chill Island.

Truly a perfect day! There was a DJ at the pool and it was soooooooooo much fun! Good drink and food abs music.

I love it when there's only one ship docked but when there's 2 it gets over crowded.

This place is awesome! I wish we had two days at this location.

My husband and I take this cruise because of Coco Cay. We really have enjoyed it being uncrowded and relaxing. Not this time. We were in with the Freedom of the Seas. This is the first time we were in with another ship. They arrived before we did, thank goodness we left the ship at 9AM because we just barely got a lounge chair on our favorite part of the Island, Chill Beach. By 10 AM large families were asking us when we were going to leave because there were no beach lounges to be found. We brought our own snorkeling equipment but there were so many people just standing in the water it was impossible to swim. The passengers were also very dirty and left trash on the stand. Some of the pax brought radio's and boom boxes which made it impossible to read or relax. This was so disappointing. The port we love the most was more like NYC than the Bahamas. We won't be back.

OK so here's the thing. Went there in October 2021 on Oasis. Hated it mostly because of chair hogs and not so great facilities. However, we sailed with some friends who booked it so we decided to do give it one more go. We paid more than double what we paid in October 2021 and had a somewhat similar experience. We decided to get there as early as we could. There were was another ship in port that day. We got there and lo and behold, all the poolside loungers were taken up with towels and no people. UGH!!! Eventually people did use the loungers and they stayed there all day. Only a few of them were empty with just towels and bags the entire time unlike last time. We did find a nice seating area close-ish to the pool with decent shade and an excellent view of the beach. We did have a good time and enjoyed swimming at the beach. There were many Nurse Sharks hanging out with us and lots of little fish to see. Would love it if they made this place adults only and offered more poolside seating. The food was excellent as was the service. We had the same waiter, Jonas. He was super cool and very nice. We liked that they had complementary coffee, tea, water and juices along with pastries in the morning. They also had wait staff walking around to get you drinks. If you have the drinks package, it works on Coco Cay which is nice. The beach is lovely, the lunch is great, the gardens when you walk in are lovely and the staff was very nice. I am not too sure I would book this again. Our friends enjoyed it as well but felt the same way we did.

Another one of Royal’s massive ships was there the same day. Lines for some of the water slides at the water park were ridiculously long and the beaches were very crowded. We had a hard time finding 4 chairs all together. It was a little disappointing.

We did the water park for the day and had a blast. The food was awesome and everything was open except the helium balloon due to wind.

Loved coco cay. Wished it was the last stop. Great place to snorkel and relax
