Today was an absolutely beautiful day. That’s the way it was branded, as a matter of fact. Royal Caribbean doesn’t call it “Perfect Day at Coco Cay” for nothing.
When I went up for breakfast, I came back to the room and found that my cabin attendant had already been and gone. Abdul has been a perfect attendant! When I walked in the room, my brain immediately began singing “We’ve got a gorilla for sale. Magilla Gorilla for sale.”
I went out to the island to see all that it had to offer. I like the views, not particularly the beach. I sunburn way too easily to do that. And beside, if I lay down, someone will inevitably come up and say, “Good Lord, it beached itself. Let’s get it back in the water.” 🙂
But, I digress.
When I got off the ship, I saw that we were sharing the dock with one of the sister company’s ships, the Celebrity Reflection.
Then I looked at my ship, the Utopia of the Seas.
It’s a little hard to get the distinction in size between the two of them when standing up close. You really have to move farther in land to notice the radical difference in size.
And then the island walkaround. I don’t think the balloon got up today. It was a bit too windy. From what I understand, it spends more time tethered than in the air. When you get a chance to go up in it, though, it’s fantastic.
Then, of course, the flora speaks to me. God’s beauty is in all of His creation.
Some, however, do not speak to me. I said hello to this particular one and it just stuck its tongue out at me. 🙂
It’s not a Royal Caribbean rule, it’s a Mike Yadron rule. You cannot go to Coco Cay without getting their signature drink, a Coco Loco. Mmmmm. Good. And refreshing!
After lunch, I headed back to my room for some time enjoying the water and skies. I think by now you appreciate why I always book balconies.

At 3:00 p.m., I hit the shower and then packed my bags. I went to dinner, came back to the room to double check a few things, and then put my bad in the hallway so that it can be picked up and offloaded from the ship. Tomorrow’s a travel day back home.
I hope you enjoyed my missives over the past two weeks. Thanks for following. And thank you, God, for supplying the wonderful weather and nature!
