This is a really clever marketing aspect for them. Now with a massive water park, they can better push those 3 and 4 night cruises out of southern Florida that stop at Nassau and Coco Cay. Casino for the adults in Nassau and water park for the kids in Coco Cay. This would make sense with them manoeuvering a ship like the Mariner OTS to bring more people to the 3/4 night spurts. Wouldn't be surprised if they stick an Oasis-class ship on this route once this is all finished and try and maximise profits that way.

 

I believe they already have the Oasis class ships scheduled to dock there.

There goes the nice relaxing beach day.

 

 

Well think of this - stay on the ship and relax at pools.

Besides many of us lead quiet lives and want excitement and fun on vacation. Suggest you go on Disney Castaway Cay where they have an adult beach.:cool:

IF you can even GET a private cabana. I was curious so I inquired by phone to Royal GS into the cost of cabanas, daybeds, etc. a month ago for an April sailing and they were sold out "pre-cruise". Was told they hold some back for purchase until after boarding.

 

 

 

And? It is still the same thing as paying extra for a different experience that is being proposed.

 

Nothing is different other than possibly availability.

I looked at the rendering of the island on the video presentation and compared it to some other renderings I found on the press release site. The one in the video is much smaller and does not include the entire island. It looks like there will still be plenty of space to get away from the crowds.

 

I am looking forward to watch the progress as this project moves forward. We will be there several times from Nov to March.

Hope they don't mess with the far side. We have enjoyed going over there & seeing the sea life. Not to mention might only see two other people.

 

They already are. Nature trail is gone and the other end of the island has a big fence prohibiting access as it is now a construction zone. :(

I received a text from my friend saying that due to the transformation in coco cay lunch will no longer be free. I know rumors will begging to fly from now to the opening day but have your hear anything about it ?

 

From the announcement: "For a heartier meal, Skipper's Grill will offer complimentary lunchtime favorites such as burgers, sandwiches, tacos and salads."

I kind of wish they moved the water park a little off to the side instead of walking right into it off of the pier. I wish it was more natural looking when you arrive. Im also curious what hurricanes will do to the tall structures. The zip line would be cooler over natural trails and water. Im not too resistant to the water park, but i guess, my perspective is in my daily life i dont get to see the ocean and palm trees and iguanas.

Why is it cheap on them. It's an option. I don't know of any free water parks on land either.If you want free, most of their ships either have or will have a free water park. Heck, with NCL, on Harvest Cay, you can't even use your drink package or have a free lunch.The only free things are the beach and the pool.

My mother often asked me, if <insert name here> jumped off a bridge, would you do it?
