This weekend is the perfect time to re-price that cabana, day pass, or jet ski tour at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Royal Caribbean is advertising a "24 Hour Flash Sale", with up to 30% off cruise favorites and it applies to new purchases made April 5, 2025 and applies to select sailings departing April 8, 2025 - December 31, 2026. 

There are a lot of pop up sales like this, but the difference is this one seems to be targeting add-ons at the cruise line's private island in The Bahamas.

In comparing prices that different cruisers have spotted, there are some seriously good deals out there for your visit to Perfect Day, even if you're on the brand new Star of the Seas.

Here's what we found and why you want to run and book something while you can.

It seems a lot of people are finding really good prices on extras you can reserve at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Prices there have notoriously gone up, where some cabanas can run as much as $4,000 or $5,000 each. But this weekend, it's a heck of a lot cheaper.

Perfect Day excursion sale

Here are some example prices for the pre-inaugural showcase sailings on Star of the Seas.

  • Hideaway Day pass: $37.38
  • Coco Beach Club pass: $98.98
  • Coco Beach Club Overwater Cabana: $1,758.90
  • Thrill Waterpark pass: $53.88
  • Zip line: $37.38
  • Chill Island Cabanas: $658.90

These prices are significant not only because they're cheap, but because they're cheap on a brand new ship.

Usually Royal Caribbean charges a premium for new ships, where CocoCay add-ons get marked up quite often.

Booking fever has taken over on the Royal Caribbean reddit subforum, with many netting great deals.

"$53 for the waterpark is an amazing price. I've seen that as high as $200. For $53, I'm grabbing that," wrote gerrygebhart.

"I checked our Icon trip for next year and same thing. Grabbed an overwater cabana. Thank you," posted Sea_Voice_404.

Humble_Fishing_5328 added, "I got hideaway beach reserved for cheaper than last time! Great deal."

Keep in mind that not all sailings may see the sale applicable, nor are all offers significantly cheaper than previously posted.

What's a good price for CocoCay extra costs?

Cabanas

Before you hit the buy button, you might wonder what exactly is a good price for these add-ons.

Prices vary from sailing to sailing, so there's no guarantee you'll see a super good rate for your sailing. Nonetheless, it's helpful to know what to look for.

Hideout Cabanas

In my experience, here's what I'd consider a "good price" for the fun extras around Royal Caribbean's private island:

  • Hideaway Day pass: Under $50 per person
  • Coco Beach Club pass: Under $100 per person
  • Coco Beach Club Overwater Cabana: Under $2,000
  • Hideaway Beach Hideout Cabana: Under $1,500
  • Chill Island, South Beach, or Oasis Lagoon Cabanas: Under $900
  • Thrill Waterpark pass: Under $75 per person

I'm sure some readers may disagree with me on this, but I base these estimates on what we typically see advertised.

I'd also add a caveat that it's irrelevant what someone else thinks is a "good price" because it's your vacation and if it's your first (and maybe only) opportunity to visit CocoCay, why not indulge and enjoy the experience you really want?

How to check if there's a lower price for your cruise

Cruise Planner website

Eligibility does varies depending on the sailing, so check on your particular cruise by logging into the Cruise Planner on Royal Caribbean's website and looking for available offers. 

Not all sailings may have an applicable sale, and not all offers will be significantly cheaper than previously posted.

If you already purchased an item but see a better discount during this sale, you are able to cancel the purchase and then re-purchase the same item under this promotion. 

In almost all cases, buying an add-on before the cruise will save you money compared to waiting to book it onboard. It's quite rare for the price onboard to be cheaper than if you had pre-purchased.
