Dezertspray, thanks for bringing this review to the front!

 

jonboy, can you tell me how warm the water was in both ports? I'm going to be taking my nephews to the exact same beaches next April, and I'm hoping the water will be warm enough to play in. Being from New England, April is too cold to swim here! TIA!!

I'm searching all through the forum for cruises in April and found a few. This one has our itinerary and the beaches we plan to lounge on! And we have three pound pets:)

Woke up early Wednesday, got cleaned up and had our beach tote ready before heading up to the Lido for a quick breakfast while watching the ship dock in Freeport. I think we were off the ship by 8:30, walked thru the small market there and over to the taxi/shuttle pick up area. We had plans to catch a taxi over to The Grand Lucayan Resort for the day. Cost for the ride was $ 10 each round trip in a van that carries about 8 people for about a 20 minute ride. They dropped us off in front of a casino across from the straw market/shopping/restaurant area. Went thru the casino and out towards the resort where we paid $ 15 each for beach and pool access, including chairs. We spent the first part of the morning on the beach and it was a beautiful day.

 

Here is the resort from the beach:

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few beach pics, I never get tired of seeing that blue water:

Do you pay for this ahead of time? How do I get there?
