Perfect Day at CocoCay Waterpark: Is It Worth It? What You Need to Know 💦👙

Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas—Perfect Day at CocoCay—is packed with ways to relax and play. One of the biggest highlights is Thrill Waterpark, home to the tallest waterslide in North America and more than a dozen attractions.

But with an extra price tag, many cruisers wonder: “Is Thrill Waterpark at CocoCay worth it?” Let’s break it down.

🎢 What’s Inside Thrill Waterpark?

Thrill Waterpark is divided into two main areas: Thrill Tower and Splash Summit, plus a massive wave pool. Here’s what you’ll find:

🌊 Daredevil’s Tower

Daredevil’s Peak – At 135 feet tall, this is the tallest waterslide in North America. Not for the faint of heart! Several high-speed single-rider slides for adrenaline seekers.

🌊 Splash Summit

Family Raft Slides – Up to four riders per raft, perfect for families who want to ride together. Tube slides and body slides with varying thrill levels.

🌊 Wave Pool

The largest freshwater wave pool in the Caribbean. Kids (and adults) love splashing here, and life jackets are available.

🌊 Adventure Pool

An obstacle-course-style pool with floating lily pads, climbing walls, and rope swings. Great for active kids and teens.

💲 How Much Does Thrill Waterpark Cost?

Pricing varies by sailing and demand, but you can expect:

Adults & Kids (4+): Around $50–$140 per person for a full-day pass. Toddlers (0–3): Free.

👉 Pro Tip: Book early in the Cruise Planner—prices can go up as your sail date approaches.

👨‍👩‍👧 Who Will Love Thrill Waterpark?

Thrill Seekers: Daredevil’s Peak and the raft slides are must-dos for adrenaline junkies.

Families with Big Kids/Teens: The variety of slides and the wave pool make it a full day of fun.

Active Travelers: If you like high-energy activities, this is worth every penny.

🏖 Who Might Skip It?

Families with Toddlers/Preschoolers: There are splash areas elsewhere on the island that are better suited (and free).

Relaxation Seekers: If your perfect day involves a cabana, beach chairs, and a drink in hand, you probably won’t get much out of the waterpark.

Budget Travelers: CocoCay has plenty of free beaches, a splash pad, and a giant pool that don’t cost extra.

✅ Is Thrill Waterpark at CocoCay Worth It?

The answer depends on your family’s style:

YES, it’s worth it if: You (or your kids) love waterslides and plan to spend the entire day there.

You want the bragging rights of conquering Daredevil’s Peak.

You’re traveling with older kids or teens who can ride most of the slides.

NO, it’s not worth it if: You’re cruising with toddlers or young kids who won’t meet height requirements. Most thrill rides require guests to be 48 inches tall.

You’d rather relax on the beach, float in the Oasis Lagoon pool, or explore the island.

You want a more budget-friendly day.

🎯 Final Thoughts

Thrill Waterpark at Perfect Day at CocoCay is exactly what it promises—a full day of adrenaline and water-soaked fun. If your family loves slides, wave pools, and action, the admission price can be well worth it. But if your idea of a perfect day leans more toward sand, sun, and a cocktail by the pool, you might prefer enjoying the free activities on the island.

Either way, CocoCay lives up to its name—it’s a perfect day whether you choose thrills or chill. 🌴✨
