Royal Beach Club Nassau: Great Beach Day or Too Rushed?
Is Royal Beach Club Nassau worth booking on a cruise? We spent our Nassau port day at Royal Caribbean’s new Royal Beach Club on Paradise Island to see how the ferry, beaches, pools, food, drinks, and timing really work. The biggest catch? A shorter port call may leave you feeling rushed. We are Kris and Melanie from Dockside Travel. We've been cruising for more than 20 years — dozens of sailings, nearly 300 nights at sea — across Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and now Virgin Voyages. In this video, we cover: ✅ How to get from Nassau cruise port to Royal Beach Club Nassau ✅ The ferry ride and check-in process ✅ The family beach and adults’ party area ✅ Pools, swim-up bars, cabanas, and beach seating ✅ Food, drinks, soft serve, and the all-inclusive experience ✅ Accessibility, washrooms, lockers, and facilities ✅ How long it takes to get back to your ship ✅ Whether Royal Beach Club Nassau is worth booking on a shorter port day Royal Beach Club Nassau is colourful, lively, and packed with pools, beaches, food, drinks, and beautiful views. But because Celebrity Beyond arrived in Nassau around noon, and several other ships were already in port, our time at the Beach Club felt too short. For us, this would be a much better choice on a full day in Nassau. With more time, you could enjoy the pools, beach areas, food, drinks, and activities without constantly watching the clock.
