Perfect Day at CocoCay
Royal Caribbean cruise destinations around the globe, but they come into their own beneath the blue skies of the Caribbean. So much so in fact, that they have their very own private paradise island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. Step straight from the ship to the heart of the action, venturing skyward in a giant helium balloon or plummeting to the ground on the tallest waterslide in North America.
If that all sounds a little much like hard work, grab a drink from the swim-up bar and prepare to make your most difficult choice of the day: soak up the sun in the largest freshwater pool in the Bahamas or get comfy for the duration in your own Bora Bora-inspired floating cabana. It’s a hard life, isn’t it?
