Hideaway Beach -Coco Cay- any updates?

[elizabethbp]

When on Oasis in  late July a server at the Beach Club said the  new beach was to open in January but only for Icon cruisers,

Does anyone  have any updates on this, and when it may open to other ships?

Thanks

I have no updates, early 2024 is all I have ever heard.  I can not imagine there being any upside to Royal opening the beach exclusively to Icon; if the area is ready to serve one ship, they aren't going to leave revenue on the table and not open it to everyone.

Icon may have the island for a day to itself on the inaugural sailing or first couple of visits to CocoCay but I have not heard that the new adult only beach area will be for Icon passengers only.

Someone posted photos on FB from this week - it stills looks like a lot of work to do…..

I believe Royal has referred to Hideaway beach as a new adults only area on Coca Cay, that will increase overall island capacity navy 3000 guests. And it will open in time for the inaugural sailing of Icon. Maybe he got confused because they keep linking the opening to Icon.

Thanks for the replies.   Maybe I misunderstood but I got the sense that the beach would be for Icon cruisers initially.   I guess when bookings  open it will be clearer.

Icon passengers in the inaugural cruise might be getting a sneak peak or maybe that'll be the unofficial launch of the new beach.
