Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas, Perfect Day at CocoCay, is famous for its turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and family-friendly activities. While the island does offer add-ons like Thrill Waterpark and cabana rentals, you don’t have to spend a dime to have an amazing day here.

Here’s a guide to all the free things you can enjoy at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

🏖️ 1. Chill on the Beaches

There are multiple beaches across the island, and lounge chairs are complimentary everywhere. Some popular options include:

Chill Island – Perfect for sunbathing and snorkeling in calm waters.
South Beach – Great for families with kids, with plenty of space to spread out.
Breezy Bay at Chill Island – A quieter stretch of beach with gorgeous views.

👉 Pro tip: Arrive early for the best chair locations near the water.

🏊 2. Swim at Oasis Lagoon

Oasis Lagoon is the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean—and it’s completely free! It features a kid-friendly shallow entry, swim-up bar (drinks cost extra, but lounging is free), and plenty of space to splash or float.

🍔 3. Eat at Complimentary Dining Venues

Food on the island is included in your cruise fare. You’ll find plenty of options like:

Skipper’s Grill – Burgers, sandwiches, tacos, and more.
Chill Grill – Island BBQ with fresh salads and grilled favorites.
Snack shacks throughout the island for chicken sandwiches, mozzarella sticks, funnel cakes, and cookies.

✅ Soft-serve ice cream is also free!

🌊 4. Splashaway Bay & Captain Jill’s Galleon

Families with younger kids will love these free water play areas:

Splashaway Bay – Mini water slides, splash pads, fountains, and dumping buckets.
Captain Jill’s Galleon – A pirate ship-themed play area with water cannons and slides.

Both are included in your cruise fare—no need to buy a waterpark pass.

🐠 5. Snorkel (Bring Your Own Gear)

The waters around Chill Island are perfect for snorkeling. If you bring your own mask and fins, it’s completely free to explore the marine life. (Royal Caribbean also rents equipment, but packing your own saves money.)

🎶 6. Island Entertainment & Activities

Throughout the day, you’ll find music, beach games, and activities hosted by the cruise staff. Think volleyball, dance parties, trivia, and live DJs by the pool. All included at no extra charge.

🚶 7. Stroll the Island

Perfect Day at CocoCay is beautiful to explore on foot. Wander the colorful pathways, take photos by the island’s Instagram-worthy signs, or just soak in the tropical scenery.
