Of course, I saved the best for last. The Coco Loco is a tried and true classic among seasoned cruisers well-acquainted with this private island destination. It's been the signature drink at Perfect Day at CocoCay for years, and it never gets old. Just keep in mind that Coco Locos go down so smoothly that it's easy to lose track of how many you've had — especially if you have a beverage package and happen to be hanging out near the quick-slinging bartenders stationed at the Oasis Lagoon swim-up bar.
If you’ve ever tried the Labadoozie, the famous Royal Caribbean frozen cocktail from Labadee, the Coco Loco is its Bahamian cousin. Both feature a citrus-forward, rum-based blend, but the Coco Loco leans creamier and smoother thanks to coconut cream, while the Labadoozie is punchier with bold orange and pineapple notes.

Now that you know the recipe for Coco Loco, I’m sure you’d love to find out how to make the Royal Caribbean Coco Loco drink yourself:
