Clarea Posted December 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The farther you walk up the beach, the less crowded it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted December 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2016 We loved Coco Cay! Had a stop there on a Celebrity cruise rather than on RCCL. Would love to return. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted December 1, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 1, 2016 we also enjoyed coco cay. We had a great cabana and RC had a really nice barbecue. I think having been to both labadee and coco cay multiple times, I prefer labadee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickusaf08 Posted December 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Just be glad my family isn't there. Every time we miss co co. started as weather, then medical, and finally with my parents on board grandeur caught fire. We now avoid co co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayMaineCruiser Posted December 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2016 If you can swing a cabana go for it. Worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted December 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The farther you walk up the beach, the less crowded it is. Yep, keep walking, the back of the island is awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted December 1, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yep, keep walking, the back of the island is awesome: But it is still an island. If you keep walking, eventually you will end up where you started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted December 1, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Yep, keep walking, the back of the island is awesome: If this is the same spot, that tree may not have survived Hurricane Matthew. Actually, it maybe just a little further north than where I was standing in this pic. Edited December 1, 2016 by BillOh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanobieFan Posted December 2, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Anyone ever done the parasailing excursion here? Is it worth the price? I've never done it before, anywhere, but it seems pretty fun. I'll be making two separate trips to CoCo Key within a month of each other and it's something I've been thinking about doing.

We were airborne less than 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted December 2, 2016 #16 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Yep, it's on down around the corner....we went to the tip of the island. You can walk the entire perimeter, the water around there is no more than 2 feet, and there are tons of critters, rays, little baby sharks and the more prevalent Conchs and starfish amongst the salt grass.

griffy116 Posted December 2, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Take some cash and buy something from the vendors Royal allows to sell merchandise. You have something to remember your trip to this beautiful isand and it helps someone support their family.This place has been hit very hard more than once, and these folks can use the money.

Lizcourt Posted December 3, 2016 #18 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I hate to be a contrartian, but my advice at CoCo Key is to stay on the ship. Of all the private islands I've been to on all my cruises, it is far and away my least favorite. The water is extremely reedy and rocky, the beach is overcrowded and the facilities are substandard. Labadee is far, far superior. Depending on which of the Labadee beaches you go to, you can get soft sand and clear water, and the beaches have more shade and much better facilities.

Debbie42467 Posted December 3, 2016 #19 Share Posted December 3, 2016 What will Coco Cay be like with two cruise ship visiting on the same day? How crowded will it be?

Dec. 7, 2016 Empress of the Seas & Enchantment of the Seas? Thanks and Happy Sailing, Debbie :) We've been to Coco Cay when Monarch and Majesty were there at the same time. The BBQ area was crowded, and had to walk around a bit to find a place to sit. However, we were still able to find a nice quiet area of beach near the Barefoot Beach area.

VASOXFANN Posted December 3, 2016 #21 Share Posted December 3, 2016 The beach lounger is worth it at $45. It's a shade that covers 2 reserved chairs on a private beach. There is someone watching the beach. We found it worth it for the peace and quiet as well as having someone watching our stuff while we were in the water.

Dec. 7, 2016 Empress of the Seas & Enchantment of the Seas? Thanks and Happy Sailing, Debbie :) The Empress of the Seas carries 1,840 passengers. The Enchantment of the Seas carries 2,446 passengers. Total of the two is 4,286. The Freedom of the Seas carries 3,634 passengers. I was on the Freedom of the Seas when I visited Coco Cay. I posted over fifty pictures in post number five.

Valmoisy Posted December 3, 2016 #23 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I've been on three cruises before that were supposed to stop at Coco Cay but didn't due to weather. I've been look forward to finally stopping there in march but became a little concerned when I realized two ships were there the same day, Anthem and Majesty. From what I've read Anthem has a passenger capacity of 4,108 and Majesty carries 2,350. That seems like an awful lot of people on a small island.

That's unfortunate that your first experience at Coco Cay will have such a large number of guests. However, you should still be able to find a beach lounger if you walk away from the tender area a bit. Lunch will be crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
