Rare Radio Posted January 20, 2016 Author #128 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Good morning everyone. Welcome to DAY 5 of "LIVE" from Grandeur of the Seas. We are currently anchored just off of Coco Cay (Berry Islands) .We could see Coco Cay by 7AM, and were anchored by about 8AM. (About 1000 yard from the island) The first passengers went ashore at 8:15. I will be going ashore by around 10AM. It should be a short 5 min tender ride. The weather today seems promising. The skies are sunny with a few clouds. It is currently 70F but will increase to 80F this afternoon. That last tender back to the ship will be at 3:30. I ate again last night in Windjammer, and the choices were very good. I hardly ever eat fish at home but have had fish every day so far (except Day 1) I think I like just dining for 1 hour, but I will make it to the MDR this week (I still have 4 nights left) I’m sure I will try Izumi this week. I loved dining there on Oasis of the Seas, and Allure of the Seas. Here are a few pics from this morning. . . There will be many more once I’m back on board. The Drink of today is Ultimate Mai Tai. . . Radio I loved the sunrise this morning The sun is trying to peek through the clouds Life raft drills were being performed by the crew on Deck 9 I am happy that Grandeur of the Seas is being warmed up today Food supplies are being tendered ashore also Tender is ready to take passengers ashore .

kellyx3 Posted January 20, 2016 #130 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Radio we will be sailing Feb 13 and I was wondering if you could tell me if they had designated times that the kids were able to swim in the indoor solarium pool on some of the colder days down the coast or if they are strictly kept at the outdoor pool?

swoopy2110 Posted January 20, 2016 #131 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Can you give us a shot of the Island from the Ship please Radio... so I can picture myself going there for the first time in a few months! :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmecompute Posted January 20, 2016 #132 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Have you seen the "drink coupon cards" being offered at all as of yet on this ship? I am aware of all the packages, but have been reading lately of discounted punch cards for 10 drinks good for one day, or 10 drinks good for multiple days.? Hope you are having a fantastic day in Coco Cay. We spent the day on Barefoot beach in a clamshell there just 3 weeks ago. It was an absolutely beautiful day. Hope you got to walk around and see the Iquana's, they were huge! I think one of them had to be 7 - 8 feet long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapdog57 Posted January 20, 2016 #133 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Can you tell me who the Diamond Lounge concierge is? Is it Inna? IF so can you get me her email address?

Angelsea57 Posted January 20, 2016 #136 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Really enjoying your review. The pictures are amazing, thanks! We have never been on Grandeur, looks like a cozy ship.

I asked a bar server and was told there are no drink coupon cards offered for this sailing. It appears that it was a test to see if it would work.

Rare Radio Posted January 20, 2016 Author #141 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone . . . I am back onboard from Coco Cay. I can sum up Coco Cay very easily . . . . It is like Paradise. I really love Coco Cay. It is what you may think of a beach lovers’ private island. The water is warm (most of the time) and the beaches are clean and soft. There is island music playing throughout. Yes, there were a lot of passengers, but there are places to be away from all the madness. There are places of solitude and serenity (quiet beaches and lagoons) There is a lot of shade for those who may not want a ton of sun. The island barbeque was good too. . . There seems to always be someone with a tray of drinks, or a golf cart driving around for beers and sodas. There are several clean restrooms, and there are many family activities and excursions available. I spoke with many passengers who have never been to Coco Cay. It seems that many ships come here but are unable to tender passengers ashore due the water conditions. I must have been lucky since I have been here maybe 20 times, and only skipped the port once or twice. The last tender back to the ship was about 3:30 . . . We raised the anchor by 4PM and are on our way to beautiful Key West. We should be picking up the pilot at 7:30AM and are scheduled to dock tomorrow by 8AM. We should be at the Westin Pier and Oceania Regatta should be at the Mallory Square Pier. I am hoping for warm weather tomorrow . . . The forecast is for sunny skies and 74F Here are a few pics from the day. Thanks for tuning in . . . Radio We leave on the tender to Coco Cay We made it . . . The last tender is at 3:30PM There were lots of passengers here already Island Oasis is for Suite passengers Which way do I go ? .

Rare Radio Posted January 20, 2016 Author #142 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Here are a few more. . . I will try to get a few more posted tomorrow with 4G Radio The Straw Market had some unusual coconut gifts I like a quiet calm beach Here is one of the small lagoons There is plenty of shade for those who want it. Ahhh . . .my home for the next 4 nights I made it back by 2PM . Edited January 20, 2016 by Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixieva Posted January 20, 2016 #147 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Loved the pics of CoCo Cay. I thought Labadee was great until I went to Coco Cay and for me there is no comparison! The sand is so soft and white and the water is beautiful. I wanted to ask how has the internet been? You are posting and with pics so I guess it is ok. But are you able to get on line anytime or is it hit or miss like it was last time I was on Grandeur three months ago? I love Key West and am looking forward to your pics.
