Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas, is one of the cruise line’s highest rated destinations.

While Perfect Day at CocoCay is included in your cruise, Thrill Water Park requires a separate ticket. It can be purchased prior to your cruise in the Royal Caribbean app or even onboard the ship.

But before you dive headfirst into all the slides and rides that await in Thrill Island island, there are a few things you’ll want to know first.

Take advantage of complimentary lockers

When you visit Thrill Waterpark at Perfect Day at CocoCay, you don’t need to worry about keeping track of your belongings while taking advantage of all the slides and rides.

The waterpark offers complimentary lockers where you can store your valuables — just keep in mind they are subject to availability, so it’s best to arrive early in order to make sure you get one.

Rent a Cabana

If you really want to upgrade your experience you can reserve a private cabana inside the waterpark.

Cabanas at Thrill Waterpark come with attendant service and include access to all the park’s attractions and experiences for up to six guests, which means you don’t have to purchase admission.

If you’ve purchased admission to Thrill Waterpark or reserved a cabana there, you’ll receive a wristband as soon as you get to the park’s entrance.

You can come and go as much as you like throughout the day, just make sure you keep the wristband on — you’ll need to show it every time you reenter the waterpark.

Take advantage of free food!

Thrill Waterpark also has a Snack Shack right onsite.

It’s the closest and most convenient spot to hit if you start to work up an appetite, and the food is really delicious. Did I mention it’s free?

The menu includes lots of options to suit all kinds of diets and preferences, including crisp leafy salads, fresh fruit, sandwiches and finger foods like mozzarella sticks and golden fries — not to mention the legendary Shack Burger.

Just make sure you save room for dessert. The soft-serve ice cream, fresh-baked cookies and gooey brownies are worth the extra calories.
