Royal Caribbean opened the first part of its major enhancement of its private island in the Bahamas, Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Mariner of the Seas docked at CocoCay today, marking the first time a Royal Caribbean ship docked and disembarked guests on the island.  The pier allows ships to forgo the tendering process.

We got a chance to look around at the three major new venues open on Perfect Day at CocoCay, the Oasis Lagoon pool, Snack Shack and Chill Grill.

The new pier, Oasis Lagoon and dining venues represent a major step in the private destination's transformation into Perfect Day at CocoCay.  The first phase of Perfect Day at CocoCay is officially scheduled to open in May with Thrill Waterpark, the Zip Line, Splashaway Bay aqua park, Up, Up and Away helium balloon, Captain Jack’s Galleon, Skipper’s Grill dining, Captain Jack’s dining, Chill Island, Chill Grill dining, and Oasis Lagoon freshwater pool slated to open. 

South Beach, Coco Beach Club and the overwater cabanas will open in December 2019.

Please note that these dates might be subject to change depending on the progress of construction.

Perfect Day at CocoCay is a $200 million upgrade to the cruise line's private island in the Bahamas that was first announced in March 2018.
