The first (and last) time I visited Royal Caribbean’s private island CocoCay was back in 2015 so I was not that excited about going back again.
To be honest, anytime I saw CocoCay as a port stop for a cruise, I would scowl at the thought of wasting a port stop at Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas. There were plenty of other islands that I would rather spend my time and money visiting.
To start, it was a welcome change that we did not need to tender to the island this time. With a brand-new pier, it saves so much time when you can just walk off the ship and get your day started!
Since then, a lot has changed. In 2019, it received a $250 million renovation and was renamed to “Perfect Day at CocoCay.”
Royal Caribbean focused on adding incredible thrills, including a 1,600 foot zip line, freshwater pool, helium balloon, and waterpark that features one of the tallest waterslides in the world at 135 feet.
The lagoon, which is the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean. I was amazed at how large the lagoon was! There were tons of chairs and umbrellas surrounding the pool. The swim-up bar was my first stop after getting settled. The day called for pina coladas!

Perfect Day at CocoCay made the island seem like a new Caribbean Island oasis.
