Rare cruisewithwife Posted November 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Has anyone been recently and know what kind of specials they were running? Or do they have the same they have always had? Hoping to get a little food, 2 chairs, umbrella and a few drinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted November 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Are you asking about a Nassau Bahamas site? Or somewhere else? You can always zero in on a port in the Port of Call section on CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisdar1 Posted November 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I was there on Saturday. We got their "VIP Package" which included 2 lounge chairs, an umbrella, six drinks and six "shots" for $50. Other deals they had were a chair and a drink for $10 and $30 for all you could drink (no chairs/umbrellas). We didn't eat there but they had a menu with reasonable prices. Service was very slow. Beach was crowded but not overwhelming. Had two vendors approach us but both were very nice and didn't pressure. Gave them a quick "no thank you" and that was that. Feel free to ask me more specific questions. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you just sit at table and chairs at no charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdar1 Posted November 7, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Not entirely sure what drinks were included, I think you could basically order what you want. They heavily pushed beers (Sands, Sands Light) and then some extremely sugary type liquor drinks (mango-tango, Bahama mama). My wife did get a freshly cut coconut for the coconut water. They could also make rum drinks in the coconuts as well. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you just sit at table and chairs at no charge? You can totally just sit at the bar (or at one of the tables by the bar) and pay for a couple of drinks.

chrisdar1 Posted November 7, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Got ya...not beer drinkers here. But have seen they had like Miami Vice and stuff on a menu but was wondering if you could get those in packages I would say yes you can. We saw others drinking the mixed drinks as part of their package. I also think you can probably negotiate with them too. We were asked more than once "how many drinks did your package come with" from the servers, so I'd imagine they work out deals as they go...

casey1989 Posted November 7, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Do you need to take taxi or is Tiki Hut within walking distant from cruise port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdar1 Posted November 7, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Do you need to take taxi or is Tiki Hut within walking distant from cruise port? We walked. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the pier to the beach. Others with mobility issues have taken a taxi. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casinojunkie1 Posted November 13, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 13, 2017 MY Family did this last year in August. Had a blast. $30 for a beach chair and all the drinks you wanted in your own coconut they cut for you. Beware tho the drinking age is different there, they will serve to almost any age. My wife befriended some of the girls on social media. I think one of the girls name was Nikki. Super sweet girl. We didn't try the food but the drinks were good. It was about a 10-15 min walk there and maybe a 30-45 min crawl back to the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott2165 Posted December 11, 2017 #20 Share Posted December 11, 2017 We did this last summer. We got a beach chair and unbrella with 12 drinks and 12 shots. The beach is okay. It a little rocky, but not terrible. The view is not great. You can see a light house, but to the left looking out is some industrial junk and to the right you can see the ships, but it's obstructed by a concrete wall and buildings. Our chairs were comfortable. Our umbrella was junk. It had lots of holes and they took it away during a rain storm and never gave it back. Service was SLOOOOOW. The drinks were watered down and sugary. I switched to beer because of that. The beer isn't my favorite but it was okay. I traded the shots for some beer, but had to hagle and fuss some. The food was really good and plentiful. It was an easy walk and we got a beach day with drinks for not much money, but I will not do it next summer when we return.

srlucado Posted December 11, 2017 #21 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I was there last week. Walked from the pier, took a taxi back. Not interested in drinking, only in chairs and an umbrella. Originally offered at $40, my wife negotiated them down to $30. The beach is okay. Not exactly big, but if you get there early you can get a good spot. I'd heard the beach was dirty, but it wasn't. Not exactly pristine, either, but nothing too scary. Cruise ships are so close you almost feel you can touch them. Nassau is kind of a ripoff overall, but you can find some deals.
