Our second and last stop in the Bahamas was at Royal Caribbean’s own private island, Coco Cay. Thankfully, the kids and I were feeling better, but still not 100%.
We ate breakfast early and debarked before most of our fellow passengers. We wanted to avoid the crowds and the heat that was to come later in the afternoon. It was nice because our ship was the only one docked that day.
As you might expect, our experience walking off the ship was vastly different from our experience at Nassau. No one was trying to sell us anything, and the grounds were well-kept and beautiful.
n did not spend much time in this hammock, but you could if you wanted to!
The umbrellas and chair were set up, free to use, and ready to be used by guests.
The lagoon was pretty, but the kids preferred the pool.
This was the beach that led out to the ocean. D and the kids did some faux snorkeling with regular goggles.
I waded in at one point, but spent most of my time on a beach chair under an umbrella!
A free lunch buffet was set up on the island. My appetite was still not great, but I did have some of a Cubano sandwich. There were also hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, taco bar, etc.
The mango was refreshing, and there was also a soft serve ice cream machine.
Back to the pool!
We returned to our cabin in the afternoon. This picture shows our crazy sleeping arrangement. See the two bunk beds on the top? That’s where k and n slept. It was cozy, to say the least!
Here is a peak of the multi-story dining room. I could not believe it was already our last dinner!
The nightly entertainment on the ship did not sound too exciting to us (ice-skating clowns?) so we skipped out. Plus, our dining time made it difficult for us to even make the shows. However, the wait staff put on a little dance number on the last night that was pretty entertaining (Gangnam Style!)
It really was too bad that we were not able to fully enjoy our cruise due to illness. However, we made the most of a bad situation and for D, it was the best part of our whole vacation! We’ll need to look into a cruise to Mexico next!
