Beautiful island George! You got some amazing footage during your snorkeling adventure. George porgy… cute! That was a beautiful ship view from the floating station. Wow great ship wreck view! Good to know about that burning Red Sea coral. Love the reenacting! You’re great company George no way those fishes could not like you. thanks for sharing this. Beautiful. Ending it all with a cold drink and good food. Stay blessed my friend. ✌🏾🏖️🐠🐟🛳️🐠🐟🏖️✌🏾
I would feel like bigtime Hollywood swimming around a beach like that. the arsenal of pirate cannons are spooky. Glad you didn't have to face rough weather like the Carnival Sunshine!
Thanx Mike for joining in the premier. Sorry I missed my own, I guess that happens once in a while. Also thanx for such a nice comment about the vid. Have a great day.
This is such a beautiful island and love your energy! Your videos are always so fun to watch and make me want to book another cruise. We hope to visit this island in the near future. Awesome footage of the stingrays and sea life. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for visiting. Just a gopro 8. To bad it was windy, lots of wave and murky. I would love to be there in a clear se day. There were small sharks that day, but couldn't find any.
The section of the beach they have set aside to snorkel is free with lifeguards. It is easy to go to and is infront of the swimming beach, plus it is roped off. We had brought our own mask and snorkel at COSTCO and have used then on several cruises. We don't pay for an excursion, but just find a place to jump in the water and enjoy the fish (if all possible) So, It was free for us at that point. RCCL no longer provide mask for free like they had done in the past. For kids, all they really need is swimming googles to enjoy seeing the fish around the rocks. Make sure you bring you own defogger for lenses.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of sea life and the red coral, ouch... How deep was the water around the "ship wreck" and the snorkelling area? Also, seems like there was only one ship docked, did the island feel less crowded or did they just close some areas off? Thanks for sharing.
Depth was about 10 feet and at the ship maybe 7 feet. Around the rocks 6-8 feet. There is one ship dock but they can have multiple ship. You can check to see how many ships will be at the port the day you go. They are opening an adult beach soon, so there is a lot of space. Did not feel crowded. Have a great day
Thanks for the video. If snorkelling is free in cococay, I believe royal Carribean is only selling the equipment on website. We can swim/snorkel for free if we have our own. Is that right?
correct free with your equipment, swimming is free with life guards what is nice. Swimming googles will work around the rocks and fine for kids. We used Costco type of equipment we pack on all of our cruises.
Yes, the snorkel area is available for all, they also have lifeguards watching the ares. They don't allow people to swim to the plane wreck anymore, well at least when we were there. Have a great day.
Is there any reason to pay for snorkel excursion if you have all your own equipment ? Or does the excursion package take you to a special area to snorkel ? Thanks! Great video. 🎉
Off the beach which this video is about, we brought our own equipment and rented nothing. Chill Beach is part of Perfect Day that is free to use. The rented equipment is meant to be used in the Chill Beach area so the rented equipment you gain nothing more then I had with my personal gear. Hope this helps out.
@@FearlessRambler yes, I see you are on the Chill side; what I’m trying to determine is that the same place people with the ship’s excursion are also snorkeling? 😄
@@cameronsimonton2515 RCCL has a reef snorkel trip out to Three Sisters rock by boat from CocoCay, its around $120 (called: Reef Snorkeling). Masks, fin, snorkel, and life vest are included plus a cup of rum punch. It is a two hour trip and is not the same area as Chill Beach. Chill beach is used to Snorkel at your leisure (purchased prior as an excursion called: CocoCay All Day Snorkeling at your Leisure). That is just renting the snorkel gear from the Snorkel Shack. Hope this helps
We will be going to Cococay next week on the Independence of the Seas. We bought our own snorkel, mask and fins. But, we will need life vest. Do you know if we have to pay if we only need the life vests? Hope to get an answer.
I don't know if they would provide a life vest. You can buy a snorkeling life vest for around 12 bucks on Amazon and have them for use everywhere. We are good swimmers, so we did not use them. This area is a roped swimming area.

Thanks for identifying the fish. Now I will know what they are next time I go snorkeling.
I am no fish expert, but it is fun to know some of the fish names while snorkeling

Thnx for watching Keishia, sorry I missed my own priemer, but glad you were there.
We are going to Cococay in 2 days on Icon of the seas. We plan to snorkel. Excellent video and very informative. Thanks!
Have fun! Hope the icon is as fun as it sounds.
I found the only Octopus I've encountered on that beach in the coral at the entry of the bay. Marvelous snorkeling.
We didn't see an octopus but wish we did. It was such a fun day
I would feel like bigtime Hollywood swimming around a beach like that. the arsenal of pirate cannons are spooky. Glad you didn't have to face rough weather like the Carnival Sunshine!
Relaxing swim with the fishies!
Yap, wish you were there to swim circle around me.

Visiting all the cruise line islands is so much fun. Makes you want to try them all. Have a great day.
Cococay is one of our favorite islands. You have a awesome underwater camera. Video was very clear!! So much to see and do!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for visiting. Just a gopro 8. To bad it was windy, lots of wave and murky. I would love to be there in a clear se day. There were small sharks that day, but couldn't find any.
Fantastic videos! We would love to go there one day. Beautiful underwater world! 🐠🐟🪸🪼🙌

Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you use your phone to film underwater or a go pro?

The title of your video says FREE CocoCay Snorkeling.... Is there a FREE version? Did I miss it?

@@FearlessRamblerso you only would have to pay if you didnt bring your own snorkel set?

Did you find any clownfish in the area?
None but alot of cool fish
@@FearlessRambler ok thx because I’m going in October, just wanted to ask

Coco cay this was a cruz
Its is fun day there that's for sure. Thnx for the comment.
Is the snorkel areas free if you have your own gear? The $40 is just for equipment only?
Yes, the snorkel area is available for all, they also have lifeguards watching the ares. They don't allow people to swim to the plane wreck anymore, well at least when we were there. Have a great day.

@@FearlessRambler most helpful! Thanks 😊
Can you use the the fins at no cost (bringing your own mask & snorkel)?
Nope. RCCL will charge you. We brought short fins. It was plenty for the area at coco cay

Wowooooo como hay pargo
They didn't fry up any snapper but I bet the grouper is pretty good. Have a great day.
How deep is it where you were swimming at the ship wreck?
Around 8 feet, not too deep
Can you bring your own snorkel set?
We did, we bring our own when we cruise.
Thanks
So if you bring your own snorkel equipment, you do not have to pay for the all day Snorkel pass?
If you bring your own equipment, you don't have to pay anything. They do have the snorkeling area roped off and have lifeguards on duty with out any additional coast to you. The showers and bathrooms are also free to use.
