Can you smoke on CocoCay island?

Cigarette, cigar, e-cigarette and pipe smoking on the island is permitted in designated smoking areas only. Please check signs for specific locations. Beverage packages purchased pre-cruise and onboard include all your drinks on the island. You can use your VOOM internet package on the island.



On Royal Caribbean's private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, smoking is strictly restricted to designated smoking areas only. In 2026, the cruise line maintains a policy that all beaches, pools, dining venues, and kids' play areas (like Thrill Waterpark) are smoke-free to ensure a family-friendly environment and to protect the local ecology from litter. You can find these designated zones by checking the island's wayfinding signs or the digital map in the Royal Caribbean app. This policy applies to cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and e-cigarettes/vapes. It is a "pro-tip" to be mindful of the wind direction even in these zones, as "non-smoking" guests are often nearby. If you are caught smoking outside of these specific areas, you may be asked to stop or even face a cleaning fee if it occurs in a restricted cabana area. For most smokers, the designated areas are conveniently located near bars or at the edges of the main beaches.

The rules call for the allowance for enough goods for “personal use.” So if you're trying to lug home cases of booze, then you likely won't get past customs (they'll think you're trying to import it for sale). For tobacco, the limit (except in a few special cases) is 200 cigarettes or 100 cigars.
