You’ll need very little for your fun day ashore. Pack a beach towel, plenty of sunscreen, your SeaPass Card (for purchasing food, beverages, and activities), and some cash if you think you might like to buy souvenirs from the Straw Market.
Remember to bring closed-toe shoes if you want to ride the zipline. Lockers are available for storing personal belongings, and you can always exchange your beach towels for fresh ones.
Here’s a list of other items you might be curious about:
SeaPass® and cash - Not only will you need your SeaPass® card to exit and re-board the ship, you’ll use it to pay for things throughout the island, and if you visit the Coco Beach Club. Please note, there’s also an island market with local Bahamian crafts, where items can be charged with your SeaPass card (until 2:30 p.m.) and cash (USD) is always accepted.
Driver’s Liscence - If you plan to operate a Wave Jet during a guided tour, guests ages 16 to 20 will need to present a valid driver’s license.
Speakers - You’ll find music to set the soundtrack to your day playing throughout the island. But if you’d prefer to listen to your own selection of music, we ask that you please do so with personal headphones.
Towels - Beach towels are available onboard your ship, and can be brought onto the island, which you can refresh throughout the day as desired, at one of three towel stations. Since beach towels are provided onboard based on a check-out/check-in system, you should bring your towels back to the ship with you. Guests who have rented cabanas will have towels at the cabana and may leave the towels there upon departure.
Sun protection - Perfect Day at CocoCay offers complimentary umbrellas and shade structures in many places, but The Bahamas' sun can still be intense. Bring sun protection gear like hats, sunglasses, rashguards or other types of UPF clothing, and sunscreen. There are a lot of water features at Perfect Day at CocoCay, so be sure to reapply sunscreen often.
Proper footwear - Don’t forget proper shoes if you’re planning to ride the Zip Line at Perfect Day at CocoCay. Your shoes must have a closed toe area and be secured around the back of your foot as well. Sneakers or enclosed water shoes are great options.
Bug repellent - Depending on the time of year and time of day, there may be mosquitos, flies or other insects in some areas of the island.
Medications - Bring any prescription medications you may rely on. There are medical facilities on the island, but they may not have your specific medications on hand.
Supplies for baby - Don’t forget bottles and formula, diapers and swim diapers, wipes and sun protection gear for babies and tots.
Strollers - Complimentary beach strollers are located throughout the Island and are available on a first come first served basis.
Drones - Guests are welcome to bring drones on their cruise for use on land only and outside of the port area. However, drones are not to be operated onboard the ship at any time, nor on Royal Caribbean’s private destinations: Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bahamas or Labadee®, Haiti.
While onboard, drones must be stored safely in the stateroom. Drones used on the ship will be confiscated until the end of the cruise. A Guest Conduct Policy warning will be issued and guests may be subject to disembarkation at their own expense for onboard drone usage.
GoPro® Cameras - You are welcome to record your Perfect Day at CocoCay memories with your GoPro camera. However, for your safety, personal electronic devices of any kind are not allowed on any of the following attractions:
All water slides at Thrill Waterpark
Adventure Pool in Thrill Waterpark
Splashaway Bay
Captain Jill’s Galleon
On the island’s Zip Line, riders who wish to wear a GoPro must bring their own helmet mount that attaches securely to the helmet or secure GoPro to the body. If the staff notices the camera prevents a guest from safely participating in the activity at any time, they may ask the guest to remove or adjust the camera.
