I don't recommend getting an excursion there! You can walk pretty much to points of interest. The FREE beach is the best option. Anything from the hotels or RW is super overpriced! Food is $$$ I recommend the free beach and walking to the shops. Maybe heading to RW for casino play and that's it. The Infiniti pools are beautiful but at the end of the day they are just a pool and you can do that on the boat without getting ripped off for drinks. This is just my opinion.
@tpstravels5 ай бұрын
I agree. This is why we just played at the free beach, gambled just a little at RW and had a drink. We didn’t even eat while there; we waited till we got back on the boat. But, yes there’s lots to do without an excursion.

Those were manta rays, not stingrays, and very cool to see! They have triangular wings versus being round like stings rays. And they don’t have the painful barb that stingrays use as a defense mechanism.

Good little explanation of Bimini & fun facts. We have been to Bimini 3 times now by Jetski in 2016,2017 & 2018. The Bohemian’s are absolutely amazing people. We love this little amazing Bahamas 🇧🇸 Island out the 700 Islands to choose from. We stay for the week exploring the Island and its surroundings. If you do back, check out radio island, the Gallant lady shipwreck, Sheri’s,Dolphin House, Charlie Bread, Stewart’s to name a few places! We can’t wait to get back Billy D

Are you referring to the shops where the video starts? If so, these are located across the street from the pier. It’s before you get to Hilton Resorts World hotel. Some excursions will offer the opportunity to be dropped off at the shops before heading back to the ship.

I do not recommend booking through cruiselines. Private ones are usually so much better and cheaper and they DO get you back in time.
@tpstravels3 ай бұрын
Yes, you are correct many are cheaper, but it’s the insurance knowing the ship won’t leave me if I book through the cruise line. There are some that I would book through a private group, but overall I prefer not to risk it if the time is close to sail away. I have been on a shore excursion booked through my cruise line and we got back 30 minutes late. The ship waited on us because we booked through them. When I asked if we were with a private group if the ship would have waited and I was told not always. The ship does have some allotted time for late arrivals, but that’s not always guaranteed and unfortunately some have been left behind because the ship couldn’t wait. Anything can happen and for me if I’m far away from the ship it’s just that peace of mind knowing I won’t get left behind in a foreign country.
