CocoCay is the Latest Private Beach Visited by Cruise Ships

From Frommer’s we get this post excerpt talking about Coco Cay.

Coco Cay is an uninhabited private island of the Bahamas, two square miles in size and 50 miles from Nassau, owned by Royal Caribbean International, the big cruise line. To it, passengers on ships of Royal Caribbean are tendered (brought by small, sea-shuttles) to spend the day in beach-centered recreation. There they pay $8 for mixed drinks offered by a Royal Caribbean bartender, $10 for a float mat, $6 for a “snorkeling life vest” mandated for use by persons snorkeling, and additional charges for parasailing, wave running, and admission to an extra-charge aqua park. Royal Caribbean, quite obviously, earns a great deal of additional income from that day on the secluded little isle.
