This is RCL’s private island and it was great! We were off the ship by 9 am and the sun was already hot! It must have been close to 100. We brought our own snorkel gear, but they also made us rent a vest. So once we got the vests we were off into the water. The water was really clear and there were tons of fish and reefs! Along with some sting rays and barracudas!

After snorkeling we dried off and each got a Coco loco! They were great! Then we walked around the island and checked everything else out. The water park looked like it was for little kids and the parasailing and jet skis looked awesome! There were also a few little shops to buy souvenirs and the hair braiders were there also!

They also had a BBQ on the island for lunch (the Windjammer was closed as a result). There were ribs, hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, mac & cheese, baked beans, fruit salad and a few other salads.

My advice to everyone is get there as soon as they unwrap everything because there were flies everywhere and if you didn’t get the food once it was unwrapped, odds are a fly landed on it first! After lunch, we headed back to the ship to enjoy the empty pool and hot tubs!  Tenders operated every twenty minutes to take you to Coco Cay. After the horrible water taxi in Nassau, the tenders operated by RCCL were a welcome sight. They were clean, large and well maintained. The RCCL staff operating them was very friendly and one of the women working down on Deck 1 (the boarding area) wouldn't let me pass until I danced with her.
