Quick facts
Getting ashore
When to visit Perfect Day at CocoCay
Best December-April for the driest, warmest weather; hurricane season (June-November) can bring itinerary changes.
Getting back to the ship on time
Note the last tram pickup and all-aboard time posted at each zone, since walking back from South Beach or Hideaway Beach can take 15-20+ minutes even though everyone on the island is on the same ship.
All-aboard is ship's time — check it in the daily programme, and set your watch to it.

A little history
The island is cashless — everything is charged to your ship's onboard card (SeaPass).
Arrive early to claim loungers and shade; popular beaches and the waterpark fill fast.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes and a hat; open-beach shade is limited.
Follow your ship's all-aboard time closely — the island runs on the cruise schedule.
