"Royal Caribbean is the proven leader when it comes to pushing
the envelope in cruise ship design and the experiences offered at
sea," said Michael Bayley, President
and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. "With Perfect Day at
CocoCay, we are so proud to bring our 50-year legacy of innovation
ashore to transform an incredible island that now completely
revolutionizes private destinations in the vacation industry. It is
exciting to see what we have dreamed up finally come to life; our
guests truly are in for an experience unlike any other."
Following a grand opening celebration over the weekend, the
new Perfect Day at CocoCay is now offering endless
discoveries and shareable moments that make for the perfect
combination of experiences. Perfect Day at CocoCay is exclusive to
guests of Royal Caribbean. From ports in Florida and the Northeast, vacationers can
visit the private island destination by sailing on 11 of the global
cruise line's innovative and adventure-packed ships, featuring a
series of firsts, such as surfing, skydiving, ice skating and the
tallest slide at sea.
Daredevils Wanted at Thrill Waterpark
At the heart of
Perfect Day at CocoCay is Thrill Waterpark, daring the most
adrenaline-seeking guests to conquer two brag-worthy towers with 13
waterslides – as well as the Caribbean's largest wave pool and the
Adventure Pool with a family friendly obstacle course. Key features
include:
- Daredevil's Tower – Guests can push their limits on
seven exhilarating single-rider waterslides of various heights,
including the 135-foot-tall Daredevil's Peak –
the tallest waterslide in North
America. Additional highlights are the twin Dueling
Demon drop slides, launching riders from a vertical position; the
Manta Raycers, where friends can race down twin open flume slides;
the high-speed, fully vertical Screeching Serpent; and the coiling
Green Mamba, a massive aqua tube slide.
- Splash Summit – Adventurous families will share the
thrill with six multi-rider slides, including The Slingshot, a
zero-gravity slide for four; The Twister, a winding tube slide for
two on a tandem raft; and the four-lane Splash
Speedway racing slides.
- Wave Pool – Vacationers can ride the tide at the
largest wave pool in the Caribbean, where a timer on the back wall
counts down to the start of big waves.
- Adventure Pool – This interactive obstacle course on
water features floating lily pads, a rock-climbing wall and two
swing ropes for guests to bounce, climb and swing to their heart's
content.
Above and Beyond with Up, Up and Away
On Up, Up and Away, everyone scores a view unlike any other
from a colorful helium balloon securely tethered to the ground by
cable. The signature attraction floats up to 450 feet above Perfect
Day at CocoCay, allowing guests to take in the island from the
highest vantage point in The Bahamas and capture the ultimate selfie
with the private island and the pristine blue waters of The
Bahamas as their backdrop.
Playing it Cool at Oasis Lagoon
Guests can explore the
coves of Oasis Lagoon, the largest freshwater pool in the
Caribbean – whether looking to
spend time with family, share a few cocktails with friends or
simply sit back under the tropical sun. Sunbathers can make their
way through three distinct coves, each with a vibe of their own,
and swim to the beat of the underwater sound system. Families with
small children can splash through water features and jump right
into the excitement at the kid-friendly beach entry. On the south
side of Oasis Lagoon, pool-goers can sip a frosty Coco Loco at the
expansive swim-up bar, catch some sunrays on one of three swim-up
islands with in-water loungers, or treat themselves to total
relaxation in a private cabana, complete with its own cabana
attendant.
Dining Harborside
At Captain Jack's, the island hangout and meet-up spot,
guests can grab a drink at the rowboat bar, settle into a rope
swing seat or snack on the house specialty – chicken wings and
fries dipped in signature sauces like mango-habanero and
Caribbean jerk. Live jams and
harborside views put vacationers in an island state of mind in no
time. For more delicious eats, vacationers can also head
to Skipper's Grill for complimentary lunchtime
favorites like salads, sandwiches, tacos, burgers, fresh fruit and
desserts.
Small Hands on Deck at Captain Jill's Galleon and Splashaway
Bay
Perfect Day at CocoCay features an array of exciting features for
kids of all ages. From three dry slides and 16 water cannons, to
rope features and a splash pad, Captain Jill's Galleon is an
interactive play structure loaded with swashbuckling thrills.
Splashaway Bay, the coolest aqua park at sea, is breaking
out beyond the deck and coming ashore as the largest one yet. Kids
can enjoy bigger adventures than ever before with more fountains,
sprinklers and geysers – plus two massive drench buckets and five
waterslides, including three racers. Located along the harbor
between Captain Jack's and Skipper's Grill, this complimentary
attraction offers plenty of seating and tables for families.
High-Flying Hangout at the Zip
Line
Leave cares on the ground and soar on the 1,600-foot-long
zip-line course that crisscrosses the island, beginning near
the arrivals plaza and ending across the harbor.
An Out-of-Office Oasis at Chill
Island
Miles away from ordinary with pristine, crystal-clear tropical
waters and white powder-like sand is Chill Island, the
island escape travelers dream about. Chill Grill, the
largest dining venue on the island, serves up beachside dining at
shaded picnic tables on the sand. Guests can also find beach day
favorites here, including snorkeling, jet-skiing excursions as well
as plentiful cabanas and daybeds for relaxation under the shade.
Add in beach bars with roaming bartenders, and guests will truly
wish they lived here.
It's Game on at South Beach
Vacationers can fuel
their competitive fire on the action-packed South
Beach with volleyball, beachside basketball, soccer and
paddle boarding. After working up an appetite, grab a bite at
the Snack Shack or wade out to the floating bar to
cool off with a drink. If relaxation is the game plan, beachfront
cabanas are perfect for lounging in the shade.
Elevating the Perfect Beach Day
Among the final
experiences to be completed, Coco Beach Club is set to open
in December. Here, travelers will experience an upscale take on the
island's authentic Caribbean
vibes.
- Overwater Cabanas – The first overwater cabanas in
The Bahamas will offer
discerning guests a new level of laidback luxury. Each with its own
slide into the ocean, overwater hammock, shower and dedicated
attendant, the exclusive cabanas will have everything vacationers
would want for a day of complete indulgence.
- Infinity Pool – Spanning an expansive 2,600-plus feet,
this beachfront infinity pool is at the center of Zen with in-water
loungers.
