Today is our day at Coco Cay,
Royal Caribbean’s private island.
When we here 2 years ago it started out well:
But then it stormed, closing the tallest slide in the Caribbean—
Daredevil’s Peak—
While we were in line (and NEXT to get on)
Not once but twice.
It was a bit cold,
we had to eat lunch under cover because of the rain,
And eventually headed to the ship early because it just wasn’t that fun.
But TODAY,
Was a different day
We were up and out bright and early,
Determined to do it all.
And that is exactly what we did.
By 11am, we had already done every one of the 7 slide on the Daredevil Tower—
Several of them more than once.
The Dueling Demons, the drop slides, were probably our favorite.
We decided to take a little break in the wave pool
And check out the Adventure pool
Jack, making the lily pads look hard
Wes was determined to perfect his backflip off the zip-rope
While Tucker made it look easy
Then we headed to the Splash Summit for the family raft slides.
We rode them all—
Including each of the 4 racer mat slides.
Whew.
Ok, thrill park,
We’ll be back in a bit.
We’ve got to go find our crazy family in the Oasis Pool
Hurray for this great day!
The pool was fun
But we thought we should check out the beach
Mom especially loved Mandy’s “hat”—
It was her beach bag.
It deserved a picture
We had to show off our castle
Before we grabbed Mema and headed back for more slides.
We took her on all our favorites—
The drop slide, the plunge slide,
A raft and multiple mats
Before we knew it,
It was time to head back to the ship
There was some confusion about Mema’s bag
And she and Pappo rushed back to the cabana to get it.
We were worried they wouldn’t make it to the ship in time
And kept watch for them.
They made it.
Once we were back on ship,
The finality of our day started to set in.
How can this be our last dinner with Prakash and Ariawan?
Beck wanted to make it special
And show Prakash and the crumb-catcher some love.
Here’s to our amazing dinner crew!
Thanks for making us feel special!
One of our feedbacks for RC on our past cruises was
To keep the pools and hot tubs open late.
Guess what?
They listened!
Sounds like a great way to spend our final night!
Ahhhh!
Top this night off with some Sorrento’s pizza
And some tunes and brews at the pub
And we’ll call this vacations ICONIC
What an amazing trip!
