Dylansmommy Posted February 21, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi i was wondering about coco cay. Do they have any shopping and if they do do they have the handbags there? Are there plenty of places to lay out? Do you have to rent beach chairs or are they free? Do they have a bar on the island and are the drinks more than on the ship or are they the same price? Thanks Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted February 21, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2007 There is a "straw market" that is cash only. They sell all kinds of things, handbags, clothing, jewelry - Bahamian type stuff but also underwater cameras and misc. things. No seapass will be accepted. There are more places to lay out than you can imagine - both in the sun and the shade. You'll have no trouble finding a spot. It's free to use the chairs. There is a bar and there is always someone (multiple people) walking around selling frozen drinks. They cost the same as on the ship. You need your seapass to pay for the drinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 21, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2007 This is a beach day--pure and simple. It's not really a "port" in the general sense of the word. It's part of the cruise. Think of it as a "sea day" --on land! Enjoy--it's one of our favorite things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnsilly Posted February 21, 2007 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Oh my true love...Coco Cay! lol :p Servers from the ship will be serving you drinks on the island. You can lay out, taking in the sun, and they will bring you a drink..Don't even have to get up! (have your seapass handy)..Drink a couple Coco Loco's for me..THE BEST!!!!!! :D I didn't see any iguanas... Highly recommend the parasailing, it was a blast and it is just simply beautiful up that high.... We initially walked far around to the LEFT once we got on the island..We found some HUGE conch shells in the shallow water with the critters still inside..The shells were beautiful. Also, HUGE starfish...(Nice to look, but please leave all sealife in its home..;) ) Have a great time..You will really enjoy it.. Oh yeah...I didn't buy anything there...figured I would buy something later or on the ship. I later wished I would have just bought a thing or two..The stuff on the ship is really "royal caribbean-y" with their name/emblem everywhere, etc..

veryhotred Posted February 21, 2007 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Oh gadzooks-iguanas :eek:!!!! Yikes...I will have to contain myself...the one we saw in Keys came walking across the beach at us, he was at least 3 foot long! I ran to the car while everyone laughed at me. I still here about it! I am not worried about sea critters but the iguanas, um no thank you..lol..I will drink many coco locos as another poster did and perhaps then the iguana will be my friend :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZDCruiser Posted February 21, 2007 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Anyone been to Cococay in December? I'm going to be there 12/10/07 and afraid it will be too cold to enjoy the beach...:( Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted February 21, 2007 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Anyone been to Cococay in December? I'm going to be there 12/10/07 and afraid it will be too cold to enjoy the beach...:( Thanks! It's very unlikely that it will be too cold to enjoy the beach in December. The water will be cooling off but it's a rare cold front that makes it this far before Christmas. It can happen, but not likely. Sometimes we get cool fronts by then but we warm up again rather quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
