Creator's Key Takeaways

For most cruisers, honestly, Baja Bay, it's not worth it. It's just not.

Baja Bay does feel newer, calmer, and more contained, and it does feel a little more upscale.

The service was lackluster. The drinks are pricey. Everything in Nassau is pricey.

Baja Bay is way bigger than I expected. It's not just a few slides in a lazy river.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring your own towels from the cruise ship to avoid rental fees.
βœ“Book day passes in advance through Resort for a Day to guarantee entry.
βœ“Take a taxi from the cruise port; do not walk or use Jitneys.
βœ“When arriving at Baha Bay, use the separate day guest check-in area, not the main hotel lobby.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting to and from the resort β€” Take a government-regulated taxi; confirm rates beforehand. Do not use private drivers for this trip.
Missing the ship β€” Return to the ship well in advance of your official return time; independent excursions are not waited for.
