JKrise Posted July 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Does anyone know if Royal has begun the Coco Cay Beach Tiered Access Fees - Fees based on density of users to beach area. (Lower number of beach users-the higher the beach access fee pp) ? A play towards ' exclusivity' or 'private areas'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred30 Posted July 25, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Interesting! The first person in pays a real high fee then as more people show up the fee goes down. There will be a big line outside the beach waiting to be last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a big line outside the beach waiting to be last. The way I understood it be is akin to 'Limited Access'. Only a certain preset number of guests per area allowed. Once the preset number is reached, the area is considered sold out. Thus, enhancing the sales strategy 'fear of loss' and thus increasing the demand.

Rare BecciBoo Posted July 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2019 You are undoubtedly talking about the Beach Club on the west side of the island. That is the only thing that fits. That is a very expensive area reserved only with only a set number. The other island beaches are free of any charge at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baowen Posted July 25, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I've never heard of that. That sounds crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Cruisin Couple Posted July 25, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The Chill Island cabanas are only open to people with the tag and those are in sectioned area of Chill Island. Although I didn't see anyone actually turned away from walking on that part of the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted July 25, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think it's a great idea. Pay for play. Cabana area but no cabana cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie by the sea Posted July 25, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Just another way to make money. I certainly wouldn't use it. And I could understand it going up as the beach became more crowded, but not the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinkingmd Posted July 25, 2019 #16 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I was just there. Two ships: Mariner and Empress. No sign of limited access except at Thrill Water Park (which is pay to play anyway). In fact, I was surprised how roomy the island felt with 6000 guests ashore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted July 26, 2019 #17 Share Posted July 26, 2019 It has been proposed, but customers, in other threads, that they offer a separate, possibly pay, adults only area. Even if topless or more is not allowed, it would still be worth it for some people, to get away from children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgestang Posted July 26, 2019 #20 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I've heard they are planning small roped off areas 10'x40' in the water that you can pay to have access too that is your own private ocean area. You can pick Sandy bottom, mix bottom, rocky bottom as tiers and then they will have special perks...with a fish, with a school of fish, etc.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just another revenue stream and enhances value to the shareholders. I could see passengers paying for quiet time on a beach day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cru1s1ng2009 Posted July 26, 2019 #23 Share Posted July 26, 2019 there is just so much room on the island now I cant see how or why they would do this unless it is for the premiere beach club opening in December. We were on grandeur and the navigator got there before us and we will had front row loungers with an umbrella. They really did coco cay right.
