If you’re cruising to Royal Caribbean’s Perfect Day at CocoCay, this video is all about helping you make the one decision that can make (or break) your day: where you’re going to set up camp. Chris and I toured and compared all 7 beach/pool areas so you can clearly see what’s included for free in 2026 and what’s going to cost extra. We walk through the 5 free beaches, the huge Oasis Lagoon pool, and then we get into the two big-ticket upgrades—Hideaway Beach (adults-only) and Coco Beach Club (the luxury option). Along the way, we share what each area is best for—like snorkeling at Chill Island, sand and space at South Beach, and what to expect around Harbor Beach. We also talk through the “booking mistake” traps we see all the time, especially when people pay for something they didn’t actually need for the kind of day they want. By the end, you’ll know exactly where to go based on your vibe (quiet beach day, family-friendly pool time, party atmosphere, or full-on splurge), and you’ll be able to plan CocoCay without blowing your cruise budget.
