Ready For Perfect Day at CocoCay


As cruising resumes following the pause, cruise lines are leveraging their private islands as one way to provide an excellent cruise experience while maintaining a safe and healthy environment for guests, crew, and the communities.   Typically only one ship visits the private island at a time so there are no crowds or chance of mingling with guests from other ships.  

Follow along as we give you a personal tour of Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas.

When arriving at Perfect Day at Coco Cay, you can either walk from the ship or hop on a tram for the ride to the entrance.  Not wanting to walk any more than we had to, we opted for the tram ride.  We had to wait a bit, but it was a quick ride to the entrance.

From there, you can stay at Thrill Waterpark, if you've purchased that "excursion" or walk or take a tram to one of the other areas on the private island.







Our group had special pricing for Thrill Waterpark, so we headed there for our first stop.  We found chairs by the wave pool that had some shade, so that's where we decided to camp out for the morning.

If you love waterslides, this park is for you.  Are you brave enough to attempt the tallest waterslide in North America? If you think you have what it takes, you can plummet from the summit of the record-breaking 135-foot tall Daredevil’s Peak℠.

Along with members of your group, take on six awesome slides together, because Splash Summit is all about sharing the thrill. Hit the winding tube slide known as The Twister on a two-person raft, or go for a zero-gravity rush with your most fearless foursome on The Slingshot. Then stoke your competitive spirit on the four-lane Splash Speedway racers.

When you've had your fill of the water rides, you don’t even need to leave Thrill Waterpark. Claim one of the complimentary beach chairs by the wave pool or reserve a cabana close to your favorite slide tower and recharge before your next adventure. The nearby Snack Shack is the perfect pit stop for a quick refuel.  We grabbed a cheeseburger and fries there before heading to our next stop.

Chillin' at Coco Cay

Enjoy the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean. Make your way through the different coves of Oasis Lagoon℠, each with a vibe all its own. Splash right in at the kid-friendly sloping entry. Take your first sip of a cold Coco Loco at the swim-up bar before lounging on one of three swim-up islands. Or treat yourself to total relaxation in the privacy of your own cabana, complete with attendant service.

Do you prefer sand under your feet over the pool scene?  Well, then take the tram to the next stop - Chill Island.

This is the beach day you’ve been dreaming about— crystal clear tropical waters and powdery sands. Kicking back with your whole crew in a private cabana.

And just steps away, you can fill up your plate with tasty BBQ right on the beach at Chill Grill. Once you’re feeling recharged, check out the island sights from a jet ski or on a guided snorkel tour.

How Sweet it is With Chocolate

​

Attention Twitter Chat Fans

I'm one of the moderators for #FoodTravelChat which takes place every Wednesday at 8 PM ET.
This fun-filled Twitter chat picks a theme each week and creates several questions to get the chat rolling.  The conversation is very quick and lively.

Tonight, I invite you to join us for one of my favorite topics:  Sweet Treats 

It's #NationalChocolateDay so I expect to see lots of sweet treats made with chocolate.

Those that follow me on my various social media, know that as a travel advisor, I can be found sailing the high seas.  Can you think of a  better way to get to the chocolate around the world than via cruise ship?  I can't!

While on board the ship, I'm often treated to some special chocolate delights, including the one pictured here.  This was on Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas. 

During our National Conference on her sister ship, Symphony of the Seas, there was a similar buffet there as well.  I thought I'd share a different picture with you though.  This was a display the crew assembled for one of our evening events.  The conference theme – DARE – was inspired by the acronym for parent company World Travel Holdings’ mission to Deliver A Remarkable Experience. 



Chocolate isn't only available in Milk and Dark.  I also like white chocolate which can be flavored or in a variety of colors.  The above display was created by Royal Caribbean crew on Symphony of the Seas for our National Conference #2019DareConference.

Following are some of our favorite chocolate discoveries around the globe:
