Capacity & Advice: Designed for up to 4,000 guests (versus 13,000 at CocoCay). Passes can sell out quickly—especially during peak times—so early booking is highly recommended
What’s Included with the Royal Beach Club Bahamas Day Pass
Your pass grants:
Round-trip water taxi transport from Nassau port with two drop-off docks
Unlimited access to two pristine beaches and three themed pools.
Lounge chairs, umbrellas, towels, lockers, showers, and free Wi-Fi
Complimentary snacks at three beach grills and drinks at ten bars
Live music, entertainment options, lawn games (e.g., cornhole, tumbling towers), and artisan markets showcasing Bahamian crafts
When to Book
Booking opened in early July for sailings calling Nassau in December and beyond. Pricing is subject to seasonal shifts—your best bet is to secure your spot 4–6 months ahead. Passes can purchased onboard if still available, but shore-ex desk tends to run low during popular sailing days.
Why This Matters for Orlando Parks Fans
Sure, Orlando has its splashes, but the Royal Beach Club offers a unique shore-side escape exclusive to Royal Caribbean guests. It blends private-venue vibes with Bahamian flair—lightning-fast ferry, upscale amenities, and lively zones—delivering a premium, eco-friendly outreach beyond theme park gates. Plus, it signals the future of cruise-destination partnerships.
Many Royal Caribbean cruises with a Bahamas itinerary that depart from Orlando (Port Canaveral) stop in Nassau.
Final Takeaway
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is shaping up to be a luxurious, well-rounded shore excursion—ideal for families, party lovers, and those seeking relaxation. With its all-inclusive design, limited capacity, and Bahamian-led development, it's a fresh offering for cruise fans planning a Nassau stop. If you're onboard, snag that pass early and soak up the ultimate beach day!
