THE FULL PACKAGE INCLUDES:

A Great Day at Coco Cay

A CELEBRATION DRENCHED IN FUN

Get ready for gallons of adventure in the heart of Royal Caribeban's private island, Thrill Waterpark — home to North America’s tallest waterslide, Daredevil’s Peak, a 135-foot plunge. And that’s just one of 13 slides across two towers. At Daredevil’s Tower, we'll be competing to race down the twin Dueling Demons with an addictively frightful drop. You'll also have great fun plummeting down the near-vertical Screeching Serpent. If you dare, meet us there!

CANCELLATION POLICY

All deposits and subsequent payments are non-refundable. Your cancellation must be received in writing prior to Feb 1, 2024. After this date, you will need travel insurance to receive any compensation. Please remember you must keep your payments current to avoid forfeiting any discounts, promotions, or incentives, or risking complete cancellation without refund.

NAME CHANGES

Name changes are allowed for free up until your room is assigned only. Once your room has been assigned, a name change fee will apply. See below for name change fees. If the new traveler is replacing someone who has missed payments, the new traveler will be required to make those payments at the time he/she is added. If the missed payments have caused the cabin rate to be forfeited, the current rates will apply at the time the new payments are received. In the event that we sell out of space prior to the payment being received by the new traveler, the initial deposit and all other payments received will be forfeited. Please note, that complete name changes for everyone on the reservation are not allowed. At least 1 original traveler who booked the room must remain on the reservation at all times, otherwise, this is considered a cancellation, not a name change.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Travel Insurance is not included in this vacation package.  We strongly recommend you purchase travel insurance to protect your investment. Travel Insurance can protect you if you need to cancel after the final payment, your baggage gets lost, you get hurt on your trip, and more. The cost of travel insurance is usually around 5-10% of the cruise rate. Factors such as state of residency, age of traveler, and trip destination are all included in determining the cost.
