Do you have to pay for food on CocoCay?

While most dining during your Perfect Day at CocoCay is included, food at Captain Jack's offers a la carte pricing. Alcoholic beverages are always extra, though guests with an onboard beverage package may use this on the Royal Caribbean island, too.



On Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, a significant amount of food is included in your cruise fare, meaning you do not have to pay extra for a full day of meals. The primary dining venues, Chill Grill and Skipper’s Grill, offer extensive beachside buffets featuring burgers, tacos, salads, sandwiches, and desserts at no additional cost. There are also several Snack Shacks located throughout the island that provide free items like mozzarella sticks, funnel cakes, and their famous "shack burgers." However, if you are looking for a more premium experience, the Coco Beach Club offers an upscale Mediterranean-style lunch that requires a paid entry fee. Additionally, the Captain Jack’s wing and fries specialty stand charges an a-la-carte fee. It is important to note that while the food at the buffets is free, the "Beverage Packages" you purchased on the ship apply to the island; if you don't have a package, you will pay for sodas and alcoholic drinks just as you would on the ship using your SeaPass card.
