Chairs and umbrella areas for anyone to use...nothing exclusively for suites I believe.

Yep, no special area for suites.

Since the renovations, there is now NO suite area  or suite benefit on Coco Cay.   Previously suite and pinnacles could go to a cabana area for a nice luncheon. 
 

On the flipside, ALL of the chairs and umbrellas are complementary. The complementary umbrellas are new since the renovations. We had to pay for them in the past.

I enjoyed the suite beach on Labadee, and was disappointed they didn't have one on Coco Cay.

Roughly two or three years ago before Perfect Day or the pier was complete they briefly had a small section of chairs in the Cabana Cove area for suites.  It was kind of weird because it was a collection of loungers by themselves away from the cabanas without any services or food like at Labadee.  

 

This was back when they charged for umbrellas and there were no umbrellas in this area so it was just a grouping of loungers by themselves.  

 

I only saw that once.

I thought the same in the beginning, because of the nice lunch on the Labadee suite beach. 
 

But, I actually like the lunch variety on Coco cay , and the snack shack.

You can buy the Coco Cay Club Pass for a more private area. Already purchased for my 5 upcoming cruises there.  If after experiencing it on my first time there i will then see whether of not worth it. I can always cancel.

Always enjoyed the suite beach and buffet at Ladabee, MSC has even a better suite beach and restaurant.

MSC YC can’t be beat for everything.

MSC came close to luring me away from Royal...they may still.  Not that Royal cares about me or my money.

I had the club pass earlier this year.  It is a very nice area and wonderful lunch.  You will enjoy😀   I have it booked for a couple future cruises in 2021.

Looking forward to it. Been to Coco Cay a few times & enjoyed but gets crowded. Food at Snack Shack quite good, enjoyed the funnel cake. Much better then the barbecue buffets.

We purchased the Coco Beach Club passes for our February 2020 cruise (turned out to be our last cruise before the lockdown), and at $65/pp it was worth the cost, but if it costs much more than that now, it would not be worth it for us.

With their recent cruise planner sales I pd $47 pp for club pass for 2 of our sailings on Oasis.  I thought that was a good price.

2 of my other sailings have it for 89 and up. Imo that is way too much.

I just went out to my cruise planner for our upcoming May cruise on Allure, and the club passes were $169/pp - that's $100/pp more than it is worth😱

[LorraineP]

My passes ranged from $48 to $79pp. 

[twangster]

I saw the club go from $69 pp to $169 pp so they could offer it "on sale" at $79 pp over Thanksgiving.

Agree, but MSC entertainment was enjoyable & different. Also the singers were much better.

I don't know. Listening to a Russian singer try to do a Dolly Parton song is usually funnier than the stand-up comedians on board.😅

Didn’t see that show. Enjoyed Madam Butterfly, actually all the shows. Guess we’re so used to RCL entertainment & broadway shows these were different. Only got to do MSC YC 3 times. Hate flying. Baltimore & Bayonne only a few hours drive. MSC was to leave from NYC, had it booked then they cancelled. Wishing they would schedule it again.

Royal is getting ridiculous with suite pricing while taking away amenities.  They built a premium area on cocoa cay that could give suite guests a premium experience similar to Labadee.  My kids are older so I’ve been taking them on premium lines lately instead of Royal for less cost, although we will be on Symphony this fall, including cocoa cay.  Our Oceania Cruises 12 day Med cruise, in a penthouse, with a butler, and five star food, complimentary specialty restaurants, and a total of $900 onboard credit per stateroom, cost less than a 7 day sailing in a sky suite on Royal.  That doesn’t make any sense!

We enjoyed all the shows including Madam Butterfly. They were different and the entertainers were excellent. Singers were much better than RCL. My DH who is hardly ever impressed with RCL shows, except a few Broadway ones, stood up at end for a standing ovation.
