Question About CocoCay, Bahamas

[Presbycruiser67]

I am sailing on the Mariner of the Seas in early January, and, as always, the ship calls at CocoCay.  I have never been to a private island before.

 

Can anyone tell me what is included if one visits the island?  Meaning, I know there are excursions to purchase, like time at the Waterpark.  Is there anything to do that does not cost extra?

The beaches and loungers are free as well as the pool (not the beach club). There’s also free buffets as well as the snack shack. We had a great time without spending a dime.

That is great news, thank you!

There's plenty to do without paying extra.

I was just there this past weekend. If you like to snorkel bring your own gear because they charge for that. Lots of beach chairs and shade. The oasis pool is amazing and has a swim up bar. There is lots of food all over. It really is a perfect day!
