Two ship test at CocoCay - Cruise Line Fans: Cruise Forum, Reviews and Chat From Real Cruisers

The day we stopped at CocoCay on our last Sovereign cruise, the Majesty of the Seas also went there.
A second tender area was created (near the water park) so that each ship would have its own landing and departure zone.
Cruisers from each ship were required to wear wrist bands - Blue for Sovereign passengers, Orange for Majesty's.

The Captain asked me how well I thought it had worked out. I told him I didn't have a problem with it. I went immediately to the area near Coconut Willies, which wasn't crowded at all. I also think the separate tender areas are essential, but neglected to tell him thpse two items. Wish I had thought of it when he asked.

How was it as far as feeling crowded? That is one of the things I like about Labadee and CocoCay, the feeling that there are fw people around.

Not real sure how the main beach was, as we never stop there.
It wasn't crowded at all farther down where we usually go - near the kayak area.

Had to respond because Coconut Willies and that general beach area was wonderful!

Have only been to CoCoCay on a Celebrity ship -- Zenith 14 day cruise -- (as a part of RCI, Celebrity is sometimes scheduled there as well) AND loved CoCoCay! Seemed there would be lots of room there for the passengers from two cruise ships.

Hope to have the opportunity to go back! Absolutely beautiful place!

Best, LuLu

We ate going to Coco Cay for the first time next month. I am really looking forward to it.

For those of you visiting Coco Cay soon - If you would like to get a little preview of RCL's private island and what there is to do there,

CLICK HERE and look for Post #6.

It's a description of CocoCay with photo links to pictures of the island, its beaches, the water around it, and some of the activities.

... And, if you make it to Coconut Willie's, make it a point to stop and chat with DeWitt Martin. He is wonderful!

I appreciate hearing what you have to say. I haven't been there yet.

Would LOVE to go back to CoCoCay on a RCI ship (have only been there on Celebrity)! Thinking the bandstand area would be much more fun on RCI?

Does anyone know which RCI ship/ships with 7 Days or longer cruises go to CoCoCay? Very best, LuLu
