Perfect Day at CocoCay is Royal Caribbean's private island in the Berry Islands, Bahamas — a US$250 million redevelopment of the former Little Stirrup Cay opened in 2019 and expanded continuously since. It features on almost every Bahamas and Eastern Caribbean itinerary in the fleet.
The island's core attractions are Thrill Waterpark (Daredevil's Peak — the tallest waterslide in North America — plus 13 additional slides), Oasis Lagoon (largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean), Coco Beach Club (adults-only paid-access beach with private cabanas and infinity pool), and Up, Up and Away (a tethered helium balloon rising to 137 metres).
Access to the beaches, pools, and most food outlets is included in the cruise fare. Thrill Waterpark, Coco Beach Club, cabanas, and the helium balloon are paid add-ons — typically $60-350 per person depending on the attraction.
The island is a genuine strategic differentiator for Royal Caribbean. On sailings that include Perfect Day, the private-island day often ranks as the guests' highest-rated port of the entire cruise.

- Beach access on Chill Island and South Beach
