Now, they're resetting all expectations for what a beach day can be with private destination Perfect Day at CocoCay. And when Harmony of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas begin sailing there May 2019, you'll be hard pressed to find a bolder vacation.   DRENCHED IN FUN   Get ready for gallons of adventure in the heart of the island, Thrill Waterpark — home to North America's tallest waterslide, Daredevil's Peak, a 135-foot plunge. And that's just one of 13 slides across two towers. At Daredevil's Tower, you can race a friend down the twin Dueling Demons with an addictively frightful drop.   Plummet down the near-vertical Screeching Serpent. And if you dare, brave the coils of the twisting, turning Green Mamba slide. You'll find another set of adventures at Thrill Waterpark's other set of slides designed for multiple riders. On The Slingshot, four can share a raft and a zero-gravity moment before freefalling. Grab a buddy for the winding tube slide, The Twister. Or unleash your competitive side on the four-lane Splash Speedway. And no visit to Thrill Waterpark will be complete without a dip in the largest wave pool in the Caribbean. The kids can leave their cares behind at Splashaway Bay with fountains, sprinklers, geysers and water cannons, plus five slides. All in all, no island has more ways to get soaked.   WAY ABOVE ORDINARY   But you don't have to get wet to enjoy the fun. Take things up a notch on a zip line with the only water landing in the Bahamas. Or go up to 450 feet above land and sea onboard the Up, Up and Away helium balloon that gives "view from the top" a whole new meaning.     BOLD BEACH BOUND BLISS   Perfect Day at CocoCay will be more than slides and rides — the beach areas make the island the ultimate sun soaking escape. Chill Island maxes out the relaxation while South Beach is the go-to spot for those who like to get their game on. Volleyball, beachside basketball, paddle boarding, kayaking, and even zorbing amp up the excitement. Be sure to refuel over burgers, sandwiches, salads and more at the complimentary Snack Shacks throughout the island. And to quench your thirst, wade on over to the floating bar just offshore.
