Insider Guide to Chill Island at Perfect Day at CocoCay
If your ideal beach day involves a quiet stretch of powdery shoreline, tranquil waters and plenty of rest and relaxation, you’ve come to the right place. Perfect Day at Coco Cay is Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas.
If you want to slow down, work on your tan and spend some time recharging, there’s Chill Island. Perfect for both couples and families, this area of Perfect Day at CocoCay is the best place to relax and soak up the island vibes.
Here’s everything you need to know before you go.
Plenty of Shade
There’s no need to worry about getting ashore early to claim a beach chair and umbrella on Chill Island.
This part of Perfect Day at CocoCay has an abundance of loungers and umbrellas along its shores, and they’re all complimentary.
One of the best things to do at Chill Island if you’re visiting with a group of friends or your extended family — or if you want to upgrade your romantic getaway — is to reserve one of the Chill Island cabanas.
Each cabana accommodates up to eight guests and comes with attendant service.
Reserving a cabana on Chill Island is a great option for families who want an added level of comfort, or couples looking to elevate their day of relaxation.
Just remember they are subject to availability.
You Have the Option to Play
True to its name, Chill Island is really all about the chill factor — but that doesn’t mean you won’t have the option to break up all that shoreside lounging with a bit of action.
There’s a shack nearby where you can rent snorkel equipment to check out some of the vibrant coral reefs located just offshore.
Keep an eye out for the friendly manta rays that call the island home — they’re not shy and don’t mind swimming up close to snorkelers.
There’s also a dock in this area where you can join a jet ski tour of the island.
You can book water activities ahead of your cruise on Cruise Planner, onboard the cruise ship before you arrive at Perfect Day at CocoCay, or on the island during your time ashore.
Just remember that equipment and spots on the tours are subject to availability, so it’s usually recommended to book ahead.
If you’ve already booked your cruise and you’re ready to start planning your itinerary for Perfect Day at CocoCay check out Cruise Planner now.
Two Side - Two Vibes
Compared to most of the other areas on Perfect Day at CocoCay, Chill Island is definitely the most tranquil spot around.
But the north end is the calmer and more secluded side, and a preferred pick among couples.
The south end has more activity, since that’s where you’ll find the Snorkel Shack and the dock for jet ski rentals and tours.
Lunch and Lounge
One of the best things at Chill Island is that you don’t really have to leave the area for anything if you don’t want to.
Chill Island boasts the largest restaurant on Perfect Day at CocoCay, Chill Grill, serving a wide range of delicious options tailored to any kind of diet or preference.
You’ll find crisp salads, tasty sandwiches, build-your-own tacos, fresh fruit, and grilled favorites like BBQ chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and more.
For dessert, there’s soft-serve ice cream, cookies and brownies.
The food is free at Chill Island so make sure you save room for seconds.
There’s also a towel station nearby, in case you forgot to grab one on your way off the cruise ship.

Sip In Serenity
When you feel it’s time to unwind with an ice-cold brew or your favorite summertime cocktail, you have plenty of options right on Chill Island.
On either end of the beach you’ll find the Wacky Seagull and Wacky Seagull Jr. bars, both serving adult beverages.
And just offshore, the fan-favorite Floating Bar is easy to spot.
All you have to do is swim out to the gently-bobbing tiki hut to enjoy your Coco Loco with a side of sea views.
Beverage packages purchased on the cruise ship or via Cruise Planner app on Perfect Day at CocoCay, so all you need to bring is your SeaPass card.
No matter how chill you want to go while visiting Perfect Day at CocoCay, Chill Island is the ultimate go-to spot for laid-back beach vibes.

3 Insider Tips for Thrill Water Park at Perfect Day at CocoCay
Headed to Thrill Waterpark at Perfect Day at CocoCay? Here’s your guide to getting in on all the action.
Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas, is one of the cruise line’s highest rated destinations.
While Perfect Day at CocoCay is included in your cruise, Thrill Water Park requires a separate ticket. It can be purchased prior to your cruise in the Royal Caribbean app or even onboard the ship.
But before you dive headfirst into all the slides and rides that await in Thrill Island island, there are a few things you’ll want to know first.
Take advantage of complimentary lockers
When you visit Thrill Waterpark at Perfect Day at CocoCay, you don’t need to worry about keeping track of your belongings while taking advantage of all the slides and rides.
The waterpark offers complimentary lockers where you can store your valuables — just keep in mind they are subject to availability, so it’s best to arrive early in order to make sure you get one.
Rent a Cabana
If you really want to upgrade your experience you can reserve a private cabana inside the waterpark.
Cabanas at Thrill Waterpark come with attendant service and include access to all the park’s attractions and experiences for up to six guests, which means you don’t have to purchase admission.
If you’ve purchased admission to Thrill Waterpark or reserved a cabana there, you’ll receive a wristband as soon as you get to the park’s entrance.
You can come and go as much as you like throughout the day, just make sure you keep the wristband on — you’ll need to show it every time you reenter the waterpark.

Thrill Waterpark also has a Snack Shack right onsite.
It’s the closest and most convenient spot to hit if you start to work up an appetite, and the food is really delicious. Did I mention it’s free?
The menu includes lots of options to suit all kinds of diets and preferences, including crisp leafy salads, fresh fruit, sandwiches and finger foods like mozzarella sticks and golden fries — not to mention the legendary Shack Burger.
Just make sure you save room for dessert. The soft-serve ice cream, fresh-baked cookies and gooey brownies are worth the extra calories.

Insider Tips to Oasis Lagoon Pool at Perfect Day at CocoCay
Everything you need to know before taking a dip in the Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool.
Perfect Day at CocoCay, the newly reimagined destination by Royal Caribbean, has made headlines with its record-breaking attractions.
But one of the coolest features you can look forward to on this exclusive private island in The Bahamas is Oasis Lagoon.
The largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, it has everything you need to unwind and savor the island vibes, Coco Loco in hand. Here’s what you need to know.
Lounge All Day
Oasis Lagoon at Perfect Day at CocoCay is the ‘largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean’ — and it truly is massive.
This larger-than-life hangout encompasses three swim-up islands that are perfect for kicking back and soaking up the sun, and multiple coves that each offer a different kind of vibe — not to mention plenty of in-water seating and tables.
Partially-submerged loungers also line the entire perimeter of the pool — prime real estate if you want to work on your tan without having to leave the cool comfort of the water. You always have the option to upgrade to total privacy and exclusivity in your own cabana, that come with concierge service.
Visiting Oasis Lagoon with kids?
No problem. Oasis Lagoon is totally family-friendly — there’s a cove with a sloping entry designed just for little swimmers plus lots of space to splash around, and the deepest part of the pool measures just four-and-a-half feet.
Island Vibes All Day
While it definitely offers plenty of secluded areas for those who just want to relax and disconnect, Oasis Lagoon is also the perfect spot if you’re looking for a good party with a DJ keeps the beats coming strong all afternoon.
The swim-up bar is hands-down one of the best things to do at Oasis Lagoon — it’s where you’ll find most of the action, and with 23 in-water seats, you don’t even need to leave the pool to grab an ice-cold beer or your favorite tropical drink.
Cool and Complimentary
Access to Oasis Lagoon is completely free for guests visiting Perfect Day at CocoCay, and all the chairs and umbrellas that surround the area are also free as well.
There’s a complimentary towel station nearby, too, so you don’t have to worry if you forgot to grab a towel on your way off the ship — just make sure you return it before you board again.
The only thing you need to pay for at Oasis Lagoon are the cabanas (should you choose to reserve one) and the alcoholic drinks, but if you’ve already purchased a beverage package for your cruise, you can also use it on the island.
Dig Into Delicious
One of the great things about Oasis Lagoon is that you don’t need to wander far to grab a bite if you start to work up an appetite.
A nearby Snack Shack makes for the perfect pit stop to refuel on beach day favorites before diving back into the Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool.
Open from 11 a.m. until 45 minutes before boarding time, the Snack Shack serves up complimentary hot dogs, crisp salads, fresh fruit and all kinds of other options to suit different tastes and diets.
If you’re a meat lover, don’t miss the signature Shack Burger, made with a special top-secret Shack sauce you won’t find anywhere outside of Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Just make sure you save some room for a sweet treat after your meal — the Snack Shack offers some of the best homemade cookies and brownies on the island.

Royal Caribbean: Private Island Vacations- What to do in Labadee
Whether you’re looking for a jolt of adrenaline on the world’s longest overwater zip line or a spot to cozy up on the white sand beach to relax and kick back, there are plenty of reasons why Labadee is a top Caribbean cruise destination.
Plan a Vacation Package Escape to the Oasis of Labadee, Haiti.
For those seeking beautiful beaches, quaint seaside towns, and endless outdoor adventures, the Caribbean offers plenty of gorgeous destinations to choose from.
But there's nothing like private island vacations with Royal Caribbean. These VIP experiences are more affordable that you might think, starting at $209 (before port fees).
Labadee is a stunning stretch of shoreline along Haiti's beautiful northern coast.
This pristine tropical paradise is accessible only to guests sailing on Royal Caribbean. You might not hear as much about Labadee as with other Caribbean ports. That’s because this island is kept private and away from the masses. It’s truly a VIP experience.
Labadee is decked out with all the five-star comforts and amenities you expect to enjoy the ultimate beach day.
Royal Caribbean offers plenty for both thrill- and chill-seekers alike in Labadee. Here are some of the top reasons to add Labadee to your travel list.
Labadee Beaches
Labadee, Haiti, is home to five impressive stretches of shoreline.
Each is covered with fine, white sand and swaying palm trees.
On my first visit, I was amazed at how high the mountains were. I pictured the island to be flat for some reason. These mountains provide a truly wow-worthy backdrop from every angle.
You won’t see several different cruise lines show up. Since Labadee is a private destination, the only other people you'll see are locals, staff and other Royal Caribbean guests, creating a tropical atmosphere free of crowds.
UP THE ADVENTURE WITH THRILLING RIDES AND SLIDES
Labadee packs in plenty of opportunities for daredevils of all ages to chase thrills during their private island vacations. One of my favorites is the Dragon's Breath Flight Line, half a mile of exhilarating zip line over sea and jungle. Even those afraid of heights say they loved it.
And then there's its sister ride, the Dragon's Fire Flight Line, which lets you soar through the air headfirst like a superhero.
Classic Activities
In addition to the big thrills, when visiting Labadee there are many other classic outdoor experiences like parasailing, speedboats, rides and more ways to make the most of your visit.
Here's an insider tip: The island is surrounded by colorful coral reefs teeming with marine life, which makes it a great destination for snorkeling.
Whether your ideal private island vacation getaway involves total relaxation, plenty of thrilling activities and excursions, or a balanced blend of both, Labadee, Haiti, will not disappoint.
Labadee vacation packages feel exclusive and luxurious, but you won't break your budget. Once you've spent a day here, you'll see why it's considered a top-rated port among cruise guests.
Cruises to Labadee depart Orlando and Miami often.

Character Greetings Returning to Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line
Soon you can hug the Disney characters again in Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line
Everyday someone sends an email asking me when they can hug Disney characters again.The wait is almost over! Character greetings are returning to Walt Disney World, Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line as early as April 18, 2022.
The official announcement was released today from the Walt Disney Company:
“As early as April 18, we will start reintroducing traditional character greetings at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts, as well as aboard Disney Cruise Line and at Aulani Resort in Hawaii. Very soon, Guests will once again be able to hug Mickey Mouse, get an autograph from Mulan, and share a laugh with Goofy. We know many of you have missed these special moments, and your Disney character friends have missed you, too!
During the past two years, we’ve taken a very gradual, intentional approach to health and safety protocols. Recent trends and guidance have provided opportunities for us to bring back some of our most beloved magic, like character greetings and dining experiences. While not all locations will be available immediately, we anticipate reopening in phases throughout the spring and early summer.”

CDC No Longer Warning Travelers About Cruise Travel
CDC no longer warning travelers about risk of contracting COVID on cruise ships after 2 years
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dropped its risk assessment of cruise travel yesterday after more than two years of warning travelers against the dangers of contracting COVID-19 on a cruise.
"CDC is removing the COVID-19 Cruise Ship Travel Health Notice," said spokesperson Dave Daigle.
Travelers can now make their own risk assessment when choosing to travel on a cruise ship, much like they do in all other travel settings.

Photo Tour: The Largest Cruise Ship in the World - Symphony of the Seas
Highlights from my recently voyage on the largest cruise ship in the world, Symphony of the Seas
It carries nearly 9,000 passengers, has 25 pools, 18 decks, 12 specialty restaurants, 7 distinct neighborhoods and it weighs 228,000 tons.
Symphony of the Seas | Royal Caribbean
Symphony of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean Oasis Class ship, is the largest cruise ship in the world, well it was until Wonder of the Seas came in January of 2022, but they are close in size.
I’ve always wanted to travel on a Royal Caribbean Oasis Class ship, there are 5 in all.
This particular cruise departed Miami, Florida for a 7-night Western Caribbean itinerary with stops at Costa Maya, Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; Cozumel, Mexico and Perfect Day at Coco Cay, Bahamas.
Royal Caribbean moves its fleet of ships all over the world, but lately several of them have been sailing from Florida.
Harmony of the Seas, a sister to Symphony, is currently based in Port Canaveral (Orlando), so you can easily combine an Oasis Class voyage with a trip to Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando.
Contact me today to learn more about sailing on Symphony of the Seas, or any other Royal Caribbean cruise from Florida. Agency Exclusive Offers available!
Here are a few my favorite parts of this ship:
Oceanview Balcony Stateroom
On this voyage we had a Oceanview Balcony stateroom. There are 2,759 standard staterooms and 188 suites. You can also book an interior balcony stateroom overlooking Central Park or the Boardwalk.
Oceanview rooms balconies with little more privacy, but I think it would be fun have a room overlooking the interior of the ship. How often do you have a balcony facing the inside of a ship??
Symphony of the seas Casino
Stay tuned for more posts about this cruise including our port adventure to Chichen Itza, the Mayan temples in Mexico. Plus my recent cruise on the Disney Fantasy.
