Creator's Key Takeaways

They're saying this is going to be ready by December 23rd, which looking at all that dirt, they've got some work to do.

It looks nice. They're building the biggest swim up bar in the world. So, if that's your thing, maybe it is worth it.

Would you pay for this or are you staying on the ship?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider if the $130+ per person cost is worth it compared to staying on the ship.
Wait for the opening to see if the amenities justify the price.

YouTube Video Description

We just got back from a cruise to Nassau and got a first-hand look at the construction of the new Royal Caribbean Beach Club at Paradise Island. With the opening date set for December 23, 2025, they are racing to get this 17-acre private destination ready. But unlike Perfect Day at CocoCay, this isn't included in your cruise fare. In this video, we zoom in on the construction progress to see if it looks ready for the holiday crowds. We also break down the costs—day passes start around $130 per person—and talk about what you actually get for that money. In this video: ⚓️ First look at the construction from the ship 📅 Official Opening Date details 💸 Cost breakdown 🏝️ What makes this different from a normal port day? Question: Would you pay extra for a private beach day in Nassau, or are you staying on the ship?
