It’s our second day at Perfect Day CocoCay so far this trip. One more day to go. Funny because I am not a beach person. We are pulled up next to Utopia again at 7:15am. It is going to be a crowded beach day. Utopia of the Seas is 1,188 feet long and 211 feet wide with a gross tonnage of 236,473. She has 18 decks with a maximum passenger capacity of 7,958. The ship has 2,834 staterooms to accommodate these passengers. It also has a crew of 2,290. While Jewel of the Seas is a 90,090 gross ton cruise ship, 962 feet long, and 106 feet wide. It has 13 decks a guest capacity of 2,702 passengers at maximum occupancy. There are 1,072 staterooms to accommodate the passengers. The ship also has a crew of 852. We currently are not full.
A quick early breakfast in the Windjammer buffet.
We are out on Chill Island beach at 8am.
Yes it is hot and sunny. We have front row seats and we are out in the sun. By 9:30, the sun has shifted and we are getting shade. The beach is not as crowded today as it was last week. I am wondering if the casino is crowded. Is everybody in there? We are saving our money and brains by relaxing on the beach.

We had lunch on the island with some hungry seagulls. Steve went to get water for us. As soon as he got up, the seagulls jumped up on the table. They tried to get to his plate. CocoCay has some smart seagulls. One of the crew members was telling us that they attack kids that are carrying their plates full of food. They are smart enough to know that children freak out and drop their plates.
After lunch, we came back to the ship. Steve took a nap. His buddy watched tv next to him. A little too much fun in the sun and water.
More advertisements on our desk in the room. Royal Caribbean is always trying to upsell.
Each of the Radiance class ships have a unique art exhibit on the 12th deck outside the Crown Lounge elevators. Jewel of the Seas has these Ostriches.
Norwegian Gem was anchored on their island today and pulled away before us.
At 5:10 pm Utopia pulled away while we were at dinner.

Things to ponder today! Have to leave you thinking.
Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://amzn.to/4f2f0Zc Miracles-Grows Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food: I use this monthly on all my inside plants. It is amazing how green and luscious they look after a nice feeding. They are glowing happy full plants. Steve does the outside ones also, but not as often.
