Garavar Posted September 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Does Royal still do VIP lunch on Cococay for Diamonds and above? Sorry tried searching but new app showed no results Thanks Sent from my STV100-1 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlady1947 Posted September 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'm pretty sure it is just Pinnacle and Suite Guests for the private lunch. We've been D+ for a couple years and we have never been invited....as for who else it might be, I don't know. Maybe the people who book the cabanas????

hotdog647 Posted October 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2016 In June on Majesty, Hotel Director John Denton set up a pre-lunch cocktail hour for D+ at Coco Cay. Nice snacks, great drinks and a more casual atmosphere. He does an outstanding job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(may be others, but that is who we've had). He runs a great ship, btw. Really fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously it had been at the Wacky Seagull Jr, over by jet skis I believe JD was on Majesty then getting her ready for the move north.

troykahack Posted October 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) We were in a GS on Enchantment last week with a stop in Coco Cay. We thought there was a private beach for Suite guests as well as lunch. We didn't ask this question before we left the ship. When we got off the tender, we asked at least three Royal crew and the tram operator where they Suite Beach was located and not one of the crew knew anything about a Suite area or lunch. Having said this, we ended up at the floating bar and other than a good sunburn, we had an awesome time. The 6'4" bartender Murese (sp) was simply the best and very entertaining. His only drawback was he couldn't swim but it didn't stop him from jumping in and running back and forth to the beach to get more supplies. During our time in the CL that evening, we asked the Concierge about a Suite Beach and she said, oh yea, it was off to the left side as you enter the island. We went to the right, South Beach. I figure Diamonds and P or at least P would also have access to this beach. Edited October 3, 2016 by troykahack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Access for Suite passengers is really only for lunch, and that varies by ship, as the cabanas are a rental option Edited October 3, 2016 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted October 3, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) I'm surprised you didn't have that when you were B2B this summer. Maybe they buried the perk in one of the welcome letters and I missed it. The only Coco Cay perk I can recall is the cocktail party next to the Wacky Seagull Jr. Edited October 3, 2016 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Access for Suite passengers is really only for lunch, and that varies by ship, as the cabanas are a rental option I could be wrong, but I think this picture is dated??? They have recently made changes and added, I thought they were called Cabanas? There is also a beach that had blue and white like cabanas, but for the life of me I can't recall what the old ones are called. We were told the Cabana area was for paid guests only. We were offered to reserve a Cabana through the Concierge prior to our cruise and while onboard, but we declined. I also don't think your map has the floating bar location? Please correct me if I am wrong as we are going back very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just show your gold (colored not status) card and he will give you an armband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barefoot Beach is not in the picture, that is where the new cabana beds and the floating bar is located. found newer map. Lunch is at number 2 and the Barefoot Beach is 34 Edited October 3, 2016 by John&LaLa added image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barefoot Beach is not in the picture, that is where the new cabana beds and the floating bar is located. found newer map. Lunch is at number 2 and the Barefoot Beach is 34 The blue cabanas are still there. They have a new area with the new cabanas which are like a bed and white linens. They are south of the old blue cabanas. In between the old cabanas and the new ones, is the beach with the floating bar. I think they call the newer area South Beach???
