We were so spoiled last week by Andrea at our cabana on Chill Island. She surprised us through out the day with fresh fruit, chocolate chip cookies, decadent brownies, and warm funnel cakes. The kids loved it!
That is fantastic!! The cabana attendants really do go above and beyond!
Agree that the food is great at CocoCay. Our family was there for the 3 night Christmas cruise last month on Freedom. Simple, filling, tasty food. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome and glad you enjoyed!
We were in it too for New Years. Guess what, after we got off. 3 of us got covid. Who knows where we got it from. Lol
Thank you for this video. You made a good effort to make the food sound good. The food on Coco Cay is a disappointment when compared to years ago when they had great ribs, among other offerings. I hope that RC gets back to the point where they have more than burgers and chicken on their private islands.
Thank you! I remember those ribs and the lamb lollipops at Labadee suite section!! They were the best part of the food! Been a bit since I shared this video and might redo soon. They continue to "evolve" the food options. Mainly, same items but the quality is dropping.
I wish they had seafood or more vegetarian protein options like tofu at all these places. Guess you can get that if you pay extra for the Coco Beach Club area.
Yeah, the vegetarian/vegan protein options are limited on the island. Even if the Windjammer is open that day, it will have limited options as well with the reduced crowds. CocoCay is a tough day for that.
Hi Brandon! Assuming that this is a new video, it is awesome to see you happy, healthy and cruising to Coco Cay on the weekends again!
Aww I wish!!! This was recorded in December on the cruise prior to coming down with COVID. Next cruise, this FRIDAY!
@@TheWeekendCruiser I am really happy that you will be getting on a cruise this Friday!
I keep hearing that if you order the chicken Sandwhich and mozzarella sticks and put the mozzy sticks on the sandwich that it’s literally the best thing ever supposedly.
hahah there are people that swear by that "secret sandwich". I have heard amazing things but I do prefer my grilled chicken as I am boring lol
Happy you have been testing negative for the past week.
Love snack shack, secret sandwich 🤫 (mozzarella cheese sticks added on sandwich) & funnel cake. 😋
You and me both!! Now if I can just get another one on Wednesday to board Friday, we are all set!
And that sounds amazing but my stomach is hurting just reading about all that grease! lol
Are you going to Cococay anytime soon? Need a new video for first timers and free things to do there since RC charges for so many things now. 🤦🏻♂️
Funny, I have a video of everything free to do in CoCo Cay scripted. Some of these videos I made are all from when I initially started recording and I could certainly improve them LOL. Thank you for the encouragement and we'll get to it!
I'm glad I saw this video. They're serving you your buffet food to keep you "safe", however, they don't have gloves on and there were a few not even wearing masks!??🤔.Oh yeah, sounds safe! Seriously?!
"
Hey Amy, the venue is outdoors and none of the guest have mask on either. Nothing is 100% safe but I assure you it is "safer" than if all the guest were serving themselves.
Amy- relax. Its all good
Awesome I’m looking forward to my next grilled chicken sandwich at the snack shack thanks for the heads up
You are going to love it!
If I wanted to rent a bed near the food, which beach you suggest?
None of the beach beds are too far away from the food. As long as you don't book the ones right at the entrance on the south side of Chill Island, you will be in good shape!
Food is complimentary as a cruise passenger?
It sure is! Only upcharge is chicken wings at Captain Jacks.
I don't like funnel cake but aunt loves funnel cake
I'm with you. One or two bites and I'm out. But for those who love it, as soon as you smell it, you have to have it!
1st time cruiser, fam of 4 adults!!Where would you recommend i do my research to book this cruise to get mad discounts etc...
Hey hey!!! Looks like you have already started the research!! Here is the EXACT video you need: ruclips.net/video/hi2_BJjLQyU/видео.html
@@TheWeekendCruiser thank you, you are the best
Anyone else here Schrute's and Vegetables at 2:41? Dwight Shrute beet farm!
Is it just like the boat can u eat as much as want
You sure can! Only upcharge are the wings at Captain Jacks. The rest is all complimentary!
Great content and info. But the shaking from the movement of camera was not good. My recommendation is a gimbal. Will solve this issue. Great job.
Ha! You aren't kidding!!! This was one of my very first videos and even when I go back and watch them, the shaking has me rolling my eyes!! This topic is on the short list for me to update next time in CocoCay.
Watching from Florida USA 🇺🇸 we’re there in cococay last week
Much rather be in Cococay!
Aren’t you COVID positive?
This was filmed in December prior to coming down with COVID. Though, since my diagnosis on 1/1 I am not COVID free and my next cruise should be this Friday! Woot!
@@TheWeekendCruiser That’s awesome. Make more videos please. I’m from Connecticut and am living vicariously thru You sir. We had more snow this morning. Cruise away bro.
$7.95 for some little chicken wings carrot sticks? Do they come with a shot of bourbon? You have Pinnacle status! After 700 cruise days, chicken wings should be free! Am I missing something? Great Video! Thank you!
haha, I think we should write into RCL and let them know that suggestion!! Yes, it is a bit on the pricey side for me too.
Hi are there any seafood options on the island?? If not I can’t believe they don’t ?! I’ve never be to a Caribbean or Bahamian island or excursion without been able to have some local seafood, who what’s burgers and hotdogs when your in the tropics?!
There are not any seafood options. The only place seafood is offered is at the CocoCay Beach Club. There you can get fish, lobster, and a few other items. The food items on CocoCay are provided by the ship and there are no local vendors.
Any pizza for kids?
Not on the island Jamie. Hamburgers and hot dogs are going to be your go-to.
Thanks for a fun video.... I know it's strange but my husband and I don't normally eat when we get off the ship at private Islands or truly anywhere… Not sure why we feel like that… But I know we would probably try the funnel cake.... if it's made right yes of course it's going to be loaded with calories but should not be greasy… Looking forward to trying that someday!! 😋
Just follow your noise and you will find it with no problem!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi Brandon, Could you tell me if you purchase the UDP would you have an allowance at the alacarte restaurant on the island?
Hey Robert, great question and one that stumped me and a few other cruise enthusiast 😂 We did pull the list of what restaurants are included with the Ultimate Dinning Package (UDP) but Captain Jack's is not one of the restaurants listed. And honestly, at $7.95 for 12 wings, I would save your money unless you just really love wings.
Thank you so much..! Your videos are great and so helpful…!! Much appreciated..!!
You are certainly welcome!
thanks! great content. I don't skip the ads in your videos, I just let the whole thing play out. gotta get you paid so you can keep going on these cruises!
hahaha, much appreciated Dara!! Yes, from my videos you can tell I keep my budget on lock-down to cruise more and every penny counts!
Thanks for sharing that you can get grilled chicken. Iv avoided going to the snack shake because I cant eat fried food. I love the idea of leaving the cookies in the sun, just dont leave them unattended because those darn birds will swool in and steal them! Does the drink package work at Captain Jacks?
The BIRDS! It's almost a game to see how quick they can jump on the food! Yes, Captain Jack's does honor the drink package, just not the dinning package.
Ive watched the looks on faces of people that turned thier backs for a minute and the birds had stole thier burger and fries 🤣
Do you know if you can get a veggie burger on the island?
Hey Reva, I am not aware of a veggie burger but they do offer one veggie sandwich that is on the middle buffet island closest to the seating. Forgot the name of it!
Very informative video thank you
Very helpful video! I HATE cilantros as well 😅
hahah, horrible stuff!
Funnel cake is a must I have gotten off in rain just for a funnel cake lol
hahah I love it! Know what you want and get it!
Thank you! Your cruise tips have been very helpful for our cruise planning.
My pleasure! Glad you are enjoying amd feeling more prepared!
This video is so helpful..! Thank you so much for sharing…!
You are so welcome!
I love funnel and will definitely try it when I visit Perfect Day at Coco Cay
Just follow your noise! You can definitely smell it when you get close!
How many times we can take foods in one sea pass in a day in CocoCay?
Hey Amit, not sure I am following the question. The food on Coco Cay is complimentary and you can eat as much as you want , as many times you want.
Helpful video. Thanks
Thanks Feranndo!
Are these restaurants included with the cruise ?
Yes, all the restaurants except the Captain Jack's wings are included on the island.
Great video Brandon!Very informative for us foodies.
Glad you liked it A C! Yes, plenty of food on the island so be prepared!
So… what is the secret item?
It is the chicken sandwich with mozzarella sticks and tomato sauce. You will have to order it and let me know what you think!
Love Snack Shack…
It is the best!
Awesome. So handsome!
Thanks!
I thought the secret menu item was one of those wink and nod, as in not really a secret. It is a crispy chicken with Cheese sticks and marinara.
PS. If the grilled chicken is Not on the menu then isn’t that also a secret menu item?
All of the ingredients are in the menu, it's just about how you individually customize them lol. Some crew do better with food change than other 🤣
If we buy the soda package; can we use the refill glasses that are provided w/ the beverage packages??
Yup, you sure can! The soda and alcohol packages fully work at CocoCay. They do not have the Coco-Cola Freestyle machines on the island but the bars will be glad to serve you.
