Plan notes

Useful context before you go

CocoCay is designed for a one-day visit. The island can be explored on foot or by the complimentary tram, which runs about every 15 minutes; ask crew to arrange an accessible tram if needed. Go ashore early: beach chairs are first come, first served, and the island can feel crowded when two ships are in port. Complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, life jackets, freshwater showers, and beach-accessible wheelchairs are available. VOOM internet works on the island. Most food venues are complimentary and generally serve lunch from about 10:30 or 11:30 a.m. until 3:00 or 3:30 p.m.; hours vary with ship schedules. Bring swimwear, sun protection, and any personal beach essentials. Prices for paid attractions and rentals vary; check current Royal Caribbean pricing before choosing add-ons.
