Great synopsis of the island, complemented by outstanding photography. Two things of note your viewers may find helpful. First, there is dynamic pricing on many of the options, rising and falling with demand. In 2022, we paid a pre-cruise price of about $79 for the Water Park, but others paid more. I have seen screenshots of the price at $250! Also, if that is a major port, checking the port schedule will help in booking the cruise. When two large ships are in port, the island is unbelievably crowded. March of 2022, we were the only ship in port (Enchantment, a Vision class). I planned it that way, but a lot of luck was involved. Only 1000 pax went ashore, and my husband and I were one of a handful in the Water Park. We rode each slide several times with no wait. The day before, the wait was over an hour, according to the staff. I realize this is an unusual experience, but I would really consider seriously the stop if it would be too crowded to enjoy.
Yet another amazing video thank you Doug. In fact I'm about to contact you to reserve spots at the private club for upcoming cruise which of course we booked through you. You never cease to provide high quality information thank you.
Doug, I was wondering about Coco Cay as I always get emails from the cruise ships. You did a great job covering everything on the island. It looks like a fun day. Do you now if they have island dishes like: Conch fritters, crack conch with peas & rice, etc.? Since we'd be in Bahamas, it would be ideal. Otherwise, it look welcoming, and full of fun things to do. Thanks for sharing. I've subscribed.
Most of the buffet style venues like Chill Grill and Skipper's Grill won't have items like conch fritters or fresh conch or local cuisine. Captain Jacks will have wings and some other items for a small added charge. The closest thing to what you are describing would be the ceviche that is served at the Coco Beach Club but at a very expensive entry fee. Most all venues are going to be burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos and many types of salads. There might be some kind of shrimp ceviche available since I understand that some of the upgraded cabanas are able to order more upgraded food items. As I think about all of my cruises, I only remember once where conch fritters were served and that was in the MDR off of the lunch menu. I'm a big fan of conch and make sure that I get it when I stop in Key West on a cruise. Thanks so much for watching and for subscribing!
This is the best comprehensive video on Coco Cay that I have ever seen. GREAT JOB!
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!

Thank you Michael! You both will love the Coco Beach Club! Make sure you order that lobster and filet for lunch!
