I'd rather be cruising

Two cruises in a row with Royal Caribbean = two cruises in a row where we missed Coco Cay due to bad weather. When complaining about this to our dining room server, he stated, and I quote, "Yeah, we never go to Coco Cay." I'm starting to think it's a total racket that RC uses to advertise but doesn't plan on actually delivering on!
Even more disappointing was the fact that to make up for missing Coco, they had us stay in Nassau an extra day. Nassau is crappy on any given day, but Royal Caribbean did nothing to compensate for the missed beach day. Sure, there were shore excursions to Nassau beaches, starting at $65/pp (on up to $185/pp!!) but they did not offer any discounts to make up for missing Coco, which would have been "free" (at least included in the price already paid). Overall we were very disappointed and are probably not going to book with RC again in the future unless it's an itinerary that isn't Caribbean-related. Disney manages to get to Castaway Cay pretty much every time since they dock, not tender.
