Is Perfect Day at Coco Cay very crowded when 2 ships are in port at the same time?

Hi,

 

Just curious as Oasis and Odyssey will be in together when I sail later this month. Wondering if it will be hard to get food (long lines) and beach chairs?  Plan is to be mostly on the Chill (free side) of the island.

 

Thanks

depends on whether it's a holiday sailing with a ton of people. We had Indy and Harmony there during Thanksgiving week, and yes - it was crowded a bit. Continue walking to the Breezy Bay part of the Chill Island - way less crowded and is right across from Snack Shack.

Believe it was Indy alongside us (Harmony) last week @ CocoCay - it was not super crowded due to fewer people on each ship.

Probably not that big of deal now with ships at reduced passenger's counts. Kind of like just 1 ship being there. Plus most people sailing now that have been on more then one cruise since covid have been there multiple  times. So guessing some even stay on the ship during that port stop.

In January, I was on the Oasis when the Odessey was there as well. It did not seem overly crowded to me. It could be that way if they are both sailing at 100% but I don't think that is the case yet.

I am on Odyssey now, sailing at about 50%. We were at Coco Cay today, alongside Symphony.
 

It was absolutely not crowded. We left the ship midmorning, had absolutely no wait to get off, found chairs easily, no wait at any bar or at the buffet, and got back on board with no line.

How has the water park been crowd wise lately?

We had 2 ships there recently and my best advice; eat lunch on board.  The "barbeque" is awful and was cold by the time we finally sat down because it took so long to find a table.  It was utter chaos there with people practically knocking you down for ketchup and mustard.  Also, not real happy that Iced Tea was not served; only super sweet drinks.  Hmmmmmm.

Like mentioned, w/ sailings at 30-50% capacity, it isn't crowded at all.  Plenty of chairs (not close to anyone if desired),  getting on/off ship a breeze, and food is fantastic...be sure to enjoy the great experience before it changes (increased % of capacity due to reduced ridiculous protocols or bankruptcy, whichever comes first).

We were there in December with two ships and it was very easy to find a chair with an umbrella, it was easy to get food at the buffet although all the tables in the shade were already taken.

Thrill water park had only light crowds last week with both Indy and Mariner docked. Felt a little crowded mid day, so plan for slides early and late.

And, it doesn't help that people sit there long after they are done eating.  We were there twice this past Nov/Dec and ate early at a snack shack the first week (Indy was also there).  Second week, we didn't even get off the ship and we were there with Oasis.  Finding a chair with umbrella was easy and in fact we were at the pool and moved around the other side once the sun wasn't blocked so we could be in shade again.   We saw lots of empty loungers at the beaches when we road the tram.

I was there just pre-COVID (Late Jan 2020), with Grandeur and Mariner there.

 

Even with full sailings on each, it was not crowded at all.
