Editorial Summary

The creators document their first visit to Royal Caribbean's private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, while sailing on the Freedom of the Seas. They begin their day at Chill Island, noting the low passenger capacity which allows them to enjoy the beautiful beaches and clear water with minimal crowds. One creator engages in snorkeling to observe fish and stingrays, while the other relaxes in the shade. The pair then transitions to the Oasis Lagoon area to locate the Snack Shack, driven by a recommendation from ship crew members to try the secret burger. They describe the secret burger as a unique combination of mozzarella sticks on a chicken patty with marinara sauce, which they find surprisingly delicious. After a lunch interrupted by seagulls, they spend the remainder of the afternoon at the large pool area, utilizing the swim-up bar and shaded seating. The creators conclude that the island lived up to its name, noting that while they did not have time to visit the water park, the experience was excellent and they intend to return on future cruises.
