Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog podcast, a weekly look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host, Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 242.

Maybe you heard, but there were some really big news announced last week by Royal Caribbean,

all about changes coming to Royal Caribbean's private destination of Cocoa.

I was so excited for it because, well, I'm excited for everything Royal Caribbean does,

but I wanted to talk about it with all of you, and I couldn't just contain it to just my

thought.

So on this week's episode, I invited some listeners to call in live as we discuss the changes

to Cocoa K.

Here we go.

Last week, Royal Caribbean dropped some epic news about a major, major investment in not

just Cocoa, but in all of its private destinations, a move that's going to change the

face of cruising, as we know it, I think, over the next couple of years, and it primarily centered

around, at least to begin with, changes to Cocoa, and boy, did that get a lot of people

talking, including me? Because as soon as you heard this news, I bet you instantly had a reaction,

a pretty strong reaction to it. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, be sure to check

out this week's show notes at realcriman blog.com

because I have a link to all the changes coming to Cocoa.

But in a nutshell, Royal Caribbean is adding a massive water park to Cocoa,

along with some other features as well.

It's all part of a greater plan to literally transform its private island, starting with Coca-K, and Labbedee will come as well,

and even some new islands coming online, but that's a discussion maybe for a different day.
