kelbell Posted November 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I just posted this question in "ports of call" then thought I should post here. I read they have day beds and clam shells you can rent, but when I go into excursions only cabanas are there? Can someone please explain how I rent a day bed or clam shell. We have never been to coco cay and there will be 13 of us. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Keep checking your Cruise Planner, they may show up at a later time. If they don't show up prior to the cruise, then go to the Shore Excursions desk as soon as you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelbell Posted November 24, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Thank you, This will be a silly questions, but how many ships are there in port at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Usually only 1 ship at a time, unless there are 2 small, old ships....that's rare, tho. Not all available rentals show at one time, so keep checking if you feel you must rent something. Loungers are everywhere and free to all. With that large of a group, I'm pretty sure you won't all be together all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally one ship, but with the pier, they will be able to dock an Oasis class ship there, which is like 2 - 3 of the smaller ships like Majesty/Vision/Radiance.

torbs Posted November 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Just an FYi, the cabanas and clam shells are at the furthest part of the island, away from everything, There are 2 bars (1 in the water). If you are looking for peace and quiet, it's a great spot. A shuttle is available. If you like to be in the middle of everything, probably not the best spot. Learned from experience 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BEACH BEDS and BUNGALOWS are far away. The cabanas are on the other side of the finger from the wave runners. And there is a bar at the cabana area also. The other reason they may not be showing up is because they may be sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelbell Posted November 24, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The cruise is still over a year out. What do you think of the location for the Oasis lagoon cabanas? I appreciate all the input. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Cay is fine, but adjust your expectations if you have experienced Castaway Cay. Watch some walk through videos of it on YouTube. It doesn’t feel like a resort escape like Castaway Cay does - this feels like a beach excusion at any random Caribbean port. And the food is really not good at all... dried out burgers and flavorless grey hot dogs, etc. It will get you through the day, but you will look forward to getting a snack back on board.

SRF Posted November 25, 2018 #16 Share Posted November 25, 2018 FYI is you get a Beach Bungalow or Beach Bed, there is a different menu. You order the day before and it is delivered to your Bungalow or Bed. If you have Cabana or are a Full Suite guest, there is a upgraded buffet in the Cabana area. They grill the meats at the buffet.

Thanks for the 'warning'. We are not really beach people, but castaway cay has other things to do. We'll plan a walk around, take pictures, and head back to enjoy the ship.
