Creator's Key Takeaways
We're first-time Celebrity cruisers as you know, didn't know the towel situation when you get off for an excursion.
It's one of the top rated beaches, top 10 beaches in the world, they say. They say.
Save yourself the $90 a person, get yourself a $15 cab out there per person, spend the $60, drive out there.
This experience at this beach is far superior than Magen's in in my opinion.

Two islands… two famous beaches… but only ONE was truly worth it 😳 On our Celebrity Excel Cruise, we booked TWO popular Caribbean excursions — one in St. Thomas and one in Saint Martin — and let’s just say… we have thoughts. First stop: Magens Bay Beach This beach is ranked as one of the Top 10 beaches in the world… so our expectations were HIGH. But did it live up to the hype? 🤔 We’ll break down the crowds, the cost, and whether this excursion is actually worth your money — or if you should skip it and save. Second stop: Orient Beach Now THIS is where things changed… 🌴☀️ From the moment we arrived, we knew this was something special. Crystal-clear water, soft sand, and that perfect tropical vibe that just makes you exhale. This excursion was 100% worth it, and honestly… one of the most relaxing beach days we’ve had since Bimini. So the big question is… 👉 Which excursion should YOU book on your next cruise? 👉 Is Magens Bay overrated? 👉 Is Orient Beach the hidden gem you NEED to experience? We’re giving you the real, honest breakdown so you don’t waste your time or money.
