Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Coco Cay was 'perfect' in all aspects. We highly recommend paying for the Coco Bay Club.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Quick & painless because we carried our own luggage & the suite concierge escorted us off

If you did not participate in any own board activities it’s not fair to give it a two-star in my opinion.

Would not go on a longer cruise but provides no reason why. Chose not to do any onboard activities and probably wouldn’t go on this ship again because they “found nothing to do”.

My husband and I did a longer cruise on Freedom and loved it. To each their own, I suppose. Hope your next cruise is better. 🙂
