According to a YouTube video on Bimini, and with what Carnival is offering on their website, the Resort World is $39 or $69, with the $69 including lunch. The YouTube video said to skip the $69 as lunch at the RW is $15 on site, meaning Carnival is pocketing the other $15. The Tram is free for all, so the choices are:
1) Ride the Tram to Beach360: no cost, no pool, free chairs and umbrellas.
2) Ride the Tram to Resort World: pay $39, get pool access, beach access, chairs & umbrellas.
3) Ride the Tram to RW, pay $69, get the above and a $15 meal (burger/sandwich, etc)
4) Ride the Tram to Paradise Beach, no facilities, pay maybe $25 per chair, per umbrella
5) Ride the Tram to RW, walk to the golf cart rental site, rent for $60 (4-seater), sightsee and visit numerous free beaches with no facilities.
6) Stay on the ship.
We’re going in late Sept, will do #2 as there were reports (last year) of jellyfish ruining the beach thingy. Not gonna risk it.
