cvasto Posted April 21, 2019 #77 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Am I reading this correctly in my cruise planner for next year? There are options for full day or half day passes to the waterpark. Does this mean that the waterpark will not be included at Cococay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that used to be free at CocoCay still is as well as the lagoon pool, kids splashaway bay and the galleon.

cvasto Posted April 21, 2019 #81 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Yes I understand that. But the whole point for my family was to do the waterpark. Just frustrating to see that it's another fee on top of the cruise to pay.... But that's how things are now a days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronx12 Posted April 21, 2019 #82 Share Posted April 21, 2019 We have 3 cruises booked that are going to Perfect Day at Cococay. Here is current pricing on a couple of items, but I don't understand why there is such a difference in prices between the 3/4 night cruises and the 7 night cruise, it's the same island with the same excursions. 4 night on Mariner of The Seas September 2019 Full Day Waterpark & Zipline $99 US per person Thrill Waterpark Half Day $29.99 US per person Thrill Waterpark Full Day $34.99 US per person Perfect Day Cococay Zipline $60 US per person Up, Up & Away Helium Balloon Ride $29.99 US per person Thrill Waterpark Cabana & Full Day Pass $399 US 3 night on Mariner of The Seas September 2019 Full Day Waterpark & Zipline $99 US per person Thrill Waterpark Half Day $29.99 US per person Thrill Waterpark Full Day $34.99 US per person Perfect Day Cococay Zipline $60 US per person Up, Up & Away Helium Balloon Ride $29.99 US per person Thrill Waterpark Cabana & Full Day Pass $399 US 7 night on Symphony of The Seas March 2020 Full Day Waterpark & Zipline $129 US per person Thrill Waterpark Half Day $59.99 US per person Thrill Waterpark Full Day $79 US per person Perfect Day Cococay Zipline $109 US per person Up, Up & Away Helium Balloon Ride $74 US per person Thrill Waterpark Cabana & Full Day Pass $699 US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEFAN0001 Posted April 21, 2019 #83 Share Posted April 21, 2019 There are already a number of threads (including just a few examples referenced in the links below) covering various pricing elements on Coco Cay. A simple search for "Coco Cay" reveals such threads. The prices seem to vary by date, ship, and other factors discussed at length in these threads... https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2521391-cococay-ocean-view-deluxe-cabana-or-beach-bungalows/ https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2645235-perfect-day-at-coco-cay/?tab=comments#comment-57031937 https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2636912-coco-cay/?tab=comments#comment-56838550 https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2631146-coco-cay/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUISEFAN0001 Posted April 21, 2019 #85 Share Posted April 21, 2019 WOW...yet another Coco Cay thread. If paying extra fees for extra activities seems unusual...rest assured...it isn't these days whenever traveling nearly anyplace that is worth visiting. In any case...here's a convenient post that includes links to just a few of the other threads on this topic - useful information, pros & cons, venting, and all the other typical back and forth: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2656870-perfect-day-at-cococay-pricing/?tab=comments#comment-57315711 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonita John Posted April 21, 2019 #89 Share Posted April 21, 2019 We are sailing May 11th on the Symphony. We purchased the 1/2 day pass. They say the waterpark will be open but since we live in Florida we will not be devastated if not. Has anybody heard about the waterpark opening status? Is the snorkeling still good and is it still off to nearer left beach? We have our own equipment (I even have a vest which I hate) is ok to just swim on in?

Rare Tree_skier Posted April 21, 2019 #90 Share Posted April 21, 2019 We're scheduled to be there next weekend. The longterm weather forecast is for thunderstorms. I know that weather forecast over five days are dodgy at best but if that weather forecast holds is it likely that we will end up skipping Cococay? Would it just be a sea day or is there some other option for RC. If it is just a sea day do they offer OBC as compensation? What options are there available on the island that would make being there worthwhile during thunderstorms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no hesitation whatsoever to pay $66 per person for a full day in a private cabana on an island with full access to a top-shelf water park, along with regular food included. We call it a deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely a guess, but if it's safe to dock, I would think they would dock no matter the weather. That's what they'd do at other ports. Some may want to do the waterpark in the rain, and some may want to eat/drink on the island. They'd probably close the waterpark during lightning. Most thunderstorms only last a short time.

In the past doing 4nite Bahamas we have even reversed Ports when Weather was severe. Little rain, passing storm no issue..

A2Mich Posted April 22, 2019 #95 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I’m waiting to see the price for the Thrill Park cabanas on Cruise Planner before making a final determination. We have water parks at home we can go to, and may just rent a beach cabana for a beach day (my son is very susceptible to sunburn, and tends to burn even with SPF50).

I agree! we decided not to do the water park either (we've had our share of water parks living in Orlando) We will enjoying the beautiful beach 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOSKI Posted April 23, 2019 #98 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Our family has two cruises booked going to Coco Cay and I noticed the sooner one is cheaper to do things. It sounds like a great marketing idea. Make it cheap to start so people fall in love with it and want to do it again at the higher rates. We are already talking about booking the cabana because for a family of 5 with waterpark we feel it is a decent value. I think ours showed $400. We are landlocked so it's not something our kids get to do every day. We really enjoyed the cabana on Labadee for our family. We may not use the waterpark a ton but the cabana by the wave pool works for us with kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eynsteinp Posted April 23, 2019 #100 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I am not sure why but the Thrill Park Cabana for June 10 (I'm on the Harmony leaving June 9) is $829 for the day. I read somewhere in the thread that the cost for suites was supposed to be lower but in my case it seems much higher than the prices everyone else is getting. The only thing I can think of is that since its in June and schools are getting out they upped the prices?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
