Year 5, Day 91, “Living the Dream”. Wednesday, 7/30/2025 DAY 14 of 29 day Florida, Caribbean, SeaWorld and Disney World trip. – Day 3 of 4 night Bahamas and Perfect Day Cruise on Jewel of the Seas. Perfect Day at CocoCay 7am-5pm.
Today we are headed to Hideaway Beach. Hideaway Beach is an adults only beach on CocoCay. We received free passes to this beach when we booked our cruise through the casino. I think they are messing with me. I really do not like the beach. The price would be $92.40 per person. Nope. I would not pay that to go to a beach. Usually we head to Chill Beach.
Hideaway Opened in January 2024. It is Perfect Day’s first and only beach and pool area just for adults aged 18 and older. Hideaway Beach has a full beach. It also has a large pool with a swim-up bar. There is a stage for DJs or live entertainment. We can visit that beach anytime the ship is here. We can start as early as 8am and stay as long as we want. Our ship is leaving at 4:30pm. I will be back on the ship way earlier. I have a mani-pedi appointment at 2:30pm. Normally we head to the left over the bridge to Chill Beach. Today we headed to the right. There is a tram station not too far to take you or it is a short walk. We elected to walk.
Along the walk, there is a picture frame. You can get a picture framed in it with the ships in the background.
When you get to Hideaway you scan your card to get on the beach. At 8:45am it is pretty quiet. But the number of chairs and umbrellas set out are incredible. It tells me it is going to get crowded.
If you come here you better like music. The water is very calm as it is in a little cove. Chill Beach has more waves coming in. There are lots of fish swimming around. There are also many mounds of sand in the water with a hole on the top. Wonder what is in those mounds.
The umbrellas and chairs are nicer here then Chill Beach. I love the bean bag chairs. So comfortable. Laying in those chairs was the best part of my morning at this beach.
The music plays all day here. They have tried to make it an Adults only party scene. I wonder if it is not as popular as they thought it would be. Hey they gave us free passes.
Utopia is docked with us again. This is day number three here at Perfect Day. I won’t be back for a long time. We don’t have any future Caribbean cruises planned. We have booked lots of unique destinations. We headed back to the ship. At the entranceway to Hideaway Beach there is a small Tram covered waiting area with a bench seat. We decided to wait for the Tram to return to the ship. It was a very short wait.
We had lunch outside of the Windjammer buffet with a great view of Perfect Day at CocoCay. Eating outside here is one of the best things about the Radiance Class ships. Most of the time you will find the ship officers eating their lunch out there.
In the afternoon I had a mani-pedi. It is pretty expensive even with our discount. The price was $169.44.
The spa offers a lot of services and always is pushing their specials.
Caribbean night dinner tonight.

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.
