Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators visit the newly opened Royal Beach Club on Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas, to determine if the paid experience is worth leaving the ship for. They explore the different designated areas of the 17-acre peninsula, including the quiet Chill Beach, the high-energy Party area, and the Family section. The video details the amenities provided, such as included food, alcohol, internet, and towel service, as well as the presence of attentive staff and heated pools. The creators compare the atmosphere and layout to Royal Caribbean's private island, CocoCay, noting similarities in the vibe and amenities. While they praise the beautiful views of Atlantis and the quality of the food and service, they conclude that the club feels somewhat like a replica of CocoCay. They suggest that while the experience is enjoyable and well-branded, seasoned cruisers might find it redundant if they are already visiting CocoCay on the same itinerary. Ultimately, they view it as a worthwhile option for those wanting a specific beach club atmosphere in Nassau without necessarily making it a permanent part of every trip.

Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean's new Royal Beach Club. This is an extra charge experience clearly built for people that have been here before.

I did not have the highest expectations for this to be honest with you. I didn't know if it really seemed that special... but so far purely based off of the vibe, I am enjoying this.

Royal, you may have cooked.

I would say try it out. It's very chill. Do you have to do it? No, cuz you get the same experience at Coco.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get off the ship early to secure a good spot.
If you don't want to buy a drink package for the whole cruise, this is a good place to enjoy a vibe with a day drink package.
