Pearl Island Tour

Has anyone done the Pearl Island Tour thru RCCL. (Nassau)

Small beach facing away from waves  with some kayaks and paddle boards provided.  Quite a few loungers with covers.  Good lunch served near the lighthouse.  Last time we were there couldn't use credit card at bar because they couldn't get a wifi connection to the main island so had to use cash.  Snorkeling area good enough that boat tours come in and drop people off.  Very rocky entry so if high waves you need to skip this  Think I prefer this to Blue Lagoon unless you go with VIP package at Blue Lagoon.  They also are a smaller operation than Blue Lagoon.  Balmoral is our favorite of the three.

Thank you for your reply.  How long ago were you there?  Recently?

Went there in October.   It was a waste of money.  Only good part was the boat ride out and back.  I  think 10 years ago it was probably nice, but there was only one kayak,  and 2 paddleboards.   The food was one chicken leg and rice.  No pool, you could see where there used to be nice facilities,  but no more.

We went the second week of March.  Initially disappointed, but it got better as the island emptied.  Booked through Royal and the person meeting us was late, the boat left without our group, we had to wait for another one, in the sun on the pier, it cost us over an hour of our time.  (There were 5 ships in port that day.)  We arrived at Pearl Island after 2 pm and the island was packed.  Nowhere to sit.  It eventually cleared out after 3 pm and we were able to find chairs and go in the water.  Chairs were easier to find far from the water. We ate lunch - meh - but I know food is subjective.  It almost emptied at 4 pm because a tour left to swim with pigs.  We left about 5:30.
