The good news is that part of the renovation included the addition of a dedicated pier. The only challenge is trying to fit it all in! This is why I really wish we had two days in port, but at least our ship didn’t leave until 7:00 pm so we had a nice long day to enjoy. I found all of this at Perfect Day at CocoCay. They want to be doing and playing, while maintaining a home base to connect and relax. I have certainly stayed at enough resorts to know the things that make me happy: plentiful seating easy access to bathrooms, food, and drinks attentive but not intrusive service and places to get away from people and just chill.Īfter years of traveling with kids, I also know that families can’t be expected to just sit around a pool or beach all day. However, I was very impressed with the attention to detail given to the design and overall experience. I haven’t visited private islands owned by other cruise ships, so I don’t have those to compare to Perfect Day at CocoCay. Why I Loved Royal Caribbean’s Private Island I do have a tug of guilt that we aren’t contributing to a local island economy when visiting a private island, but the fact that Royal Caribbean does have 357 employees that live on the island full time makes me feel a little better, as I hope some of them are local Bahamians. The private island gives you an island resort experience, but you still get to see other destinations in the Caribbean. Either that or Perfect Day at CocoCay has just spoiled me forever. However, now that I have visited a cruise ship private island, I can’t imagine doing a Caribbean cruise without that component. One of the things I have always enjoyed about cruising is being able to experience many different destinations without moving hotels and city/island hopping. Now I’m neither a cruise virgin or a cruise veteran, but with five cruises under my belt, I have a few to compare it to, including our Alaskan cruise last summer. I was recently invited on a media cruise to be on one of the first sailings to experience the fully re-opened “Perfect Day at CocoCay” and decided to turn it into a girls’ trip. Perfect Day at CocoCay, the Royal Caribbean private island in the Bahamas, has just reopened in May 2019 after a $250 million renovation and is making quite a splash.
