Review summary
Overall we really enjoyed CocoCay and Hideaway Beach, but we weren’t sure if it would be as fun with two ships docked. For the stop at Nassau we wished we had booked a better excursion and done so prior to boarding the ship. Onboard entertainment was great!Embarkation

Ship tip
Book excursions ahead of time. We waited to book for the stop in Nassau and got ripped off with the Sea World Explorer submarine tour. I enjoyed the beginning of the tour on the catamaran but then when we got on the sub we saw about 4 species of fish and that was it. It was hard to see the color of the coral and none of the fish were particularly interesting. The write up says you see coral reefs, sharks, and sea turtles… For Perfect Day at Coco Cay we were the only ship docked. This kind of made most of the island feel deserted which is nice because you can get a spot at any pool, but there wasn’t even music. We bought tickets for Hideaway Beach and we were glad we did! The adults only pool and beach were very nice. Plenty of chairs by the beach but pool seating is a little more limited. I’d be curious to see how crowded it is if there are two ships docked. The pool was split between a rowdier crowd on one end (dancing on the platforms in the pool) and a more relaxing vibe on the other end. For the price, hideaway beach was our best choice of the trip.
