Where is the Perfect Day at CocoCay cruise port?

Ships dock at a dedicated two-berth pier on the north side of Little Stirrup Cay, one ship on each side, and passengers walk ashore with no tender.

The walk along the pier to Arrivals Plaza, by Thrill Waterpark, Captain Jack's and Splashaway Bay, takes about 5 minutes. From there the furthest point of the island is around a 10-minute walk, and a free tram runs all day.

Because the ship stays docked all day, passengers can go back on board during the call.

About Perfect Day at CocoCay

Perfect Day at CocoCay is Royal Caribbean Group's private island on Little Stirrup Cay in the Berry Islands, about 89 km (55 miles) north of Nassau.

Most of the day is included in the fare: five beaches, Oasis Lagoon (a large freshwater pool), the Splashaway Bay kids' aqua park and buffet lunches.

Paid extras include Thrill Waterpark with the 135 ft Daredevil's Peak slide, a zip line, the Up, Up and Away helium balloon, the all-ages Coco Beach Club with overwater cabanas and the adults-only Hideaway Beach. Next door is Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian Cruise Line's separate island.
