Nassau Blue Lagoon Island Beach Excursion Reviews

Well worth the money to book this excursion. From the second we got of our ship to the second we were dropped back off, we were taken care of. The staff are friendly and helpful. They have very clean restrooms. The snack shack was fantastic - I recommend the fish platter. Bar service was fast and really good. The beaches are clean and nice. Chairs and umbrellas free of charge to use. We had a great day. Read Less

We booked a beach break at Blue Lagoon with Celebrity. It started not so good. The ship arrived at 12h30 a few minutes after a large MSC ship and a smaller Royal Caribbean vessel. So a flood of passengers just got of those ships almost simultaneously. As we shared the same dock with the MSC ship, the area was very busy and chaotic. It took about 45 minutes before we boarded the ferry to Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon staff did their best but there was many people everywhere and little space. But once we got onboard the ferry things became fine. On the island we headed straight for the North Beach. This beach is on the Caribbean Ocean (not the internal Lagoon). Very pristine beautiful water (a good number of large rocks at the bottom though) and there were just 10-20 people there. Very quiet and calm. We had lunch at their buffet. Had a choice between burger, chicken burger, BBQ chicken and foot long hot-dog with a choice of sides (fries, rice & peas, fried plantain, salad, veggies). We had the hot dog that was quite good. Loved the plantain! The restaurant area was al-fresco, looked brand new and very clean (staff always cleaning up). Good lunch ! They also included iced tea or lemonade. A bit too sweet, but this is quite personal :-) All in all a nice beach break. There seemed to be a lot of activities offered for families and kids, but we just wanted quiet time by the water and that is what we got. The ferry back was also uneventful. Could catch nice views of fancy houses and Atlantis. Read Less

Lots of fun for our son! Getting on and back on the ship....not so much! Read Less

Even though it rained, we had fun and relaxation. Would recommend this excursion. Read Less

Too many people, ugly tourist eye sore. Read Less

Short boat ride to the island. The island is small and the water is very shallow about knee deep only sometimes maybe to your waist if you're short. Very clear but be careful of the small crabs on the ocean floor, they do bite! Your lunch is served 30 minutes prior to your departure and all boats depart at 1:00 so everyone on the island eats at 12:30, so everyone is rushed. Snack bar at the island doesn't open until 12:30 so if you're hungry or thirsty, you have to wait. You cannot leave the island when you want, you arrive at 8:30 and leave at 1:00. If you miss the 1:00, there are no other boats to take you back to the ship. If you arrive early, you can snag an inter tube and have that to float on for the duration of ty excursion; I highly recommend you get one if you see it. There aren't many inter tubes, so take it if you can. They also have paddle boards and kayaks, but they make you wear a life vest for such shallow water regardless if you can swim. They also have an inflatable obstacle course for the kids; they seemed to have fun. Read Less

Blue Lagoon Island is wonderful, but this trip the ship poorly managed the excursion so we had a crowded trip over and back and less than 3 hours on the island. Read Less

We booked the Blue Lagoon, VIP tour. The ferry type boat takes all of the tours going to Blue Lagoon. The VIP tour gives you a choice of two different adult only beaches. We paid $56 for a cabana (bed type) rental. Lunch buffet was also included in the tour price. There were also waiters to get drinks or anything else you may need. By far, this was our favorite tour. Upon returning to the ship that night we had a late lunch in Johnny Rockets. Service was great here. Read Less

Loved it. The water was so blue and clear. Everyone was friendly. Lots of acrivities to do! The food was awesome! Read Less

Next to snorkeling on Tortola, this was our second favorite excursion. The weather was perfect! We opted to pay extra once on the island for the VIP area ($56 per couple), which offered a buffet, a couple of free drinks, lots of cold water, shaded chairs, and a personal valet. It was worth the price since it also meant far fewer people swimming in the private beach area. The public areas were pretty packed since there were people from five different cruise ships and hotels on the island at the same time. Read Less

Beautiful island and fun boat ride over. We enjoyed watching the dolphins and I wish we had booked a dolphin swim or encounter. We also saw sea lions and stingrays. Lunch was included and was pretty good. Even though it was a busy day at Blue Lagoon, there were plenty of chairs and tubes to use. Read Less

The beach is amazing but it take ~1 hour to get there. So you only wind up having 2 hours at the beach. disappointing. Read Less

The boat ride over was very entertaining, the tender crew were awesome. The island was neat clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The included lunch was fantastic and they had plenty of tenders backmtomthe main island for shopping and site seeing. Read Less

What a beautiful place! Water was so pretty, got to walk around and see the dolphins do their tricks. Drinks were good (service was slow) but the boat ride there was my favorite! Read Less

Beautiful island and away from all the hustle and bustle of town Read Less

Excellent beach, beautiful waters - lots of fun. Read Less

AWESOME day! Great experience! Beautiful day, lovely boat ride with tour, and the island was lovely with beach chairs, lunch, paid bar, and paid water toys. Highly recommend! Read Less

The boat ride to and back from the Island was pleasant with some really active and friendly staff. The staff on the island itself were horrible that they keep on asking if you're done with your plates WHILE I'm still eating. The water park center staff were also really rude that they took the life vests that we rented and paid for from our chairs and said that we stole them. Read Less

The lagoon is quite beautiful and a great place to swim. However, more than half of our 4 hour was spent waiting in line or in transit. The entire thing was so not even close to worth it. It felt like we were cattle being herded from the time we got off the boat and this continued through the "lunch" line at the island. I would NEVER go on this excursion again and reported this to the NCL staff. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Read Less

excellent, no questions about it, just book it. Beautiful beach, very acceptable lunch, drinks extra, new chairs, lots of fun. Read Less

Lovely beach break and food was fine. Managed to get tubes for relaxing early on, then put them back for others to use as there weren't many, but others didn't so there was a shortage! For the price, umbrellas and aqua park could have been included, though the extra charge did mean the aqua park was quiet. Read Less

very private VIP area. staff was friendly, light lunch was good. beach area was rocky. it was a pleasant place to relax in the sun but not much beyond that, so not sure the value was there for the price we paid. Read Less

Lovely spot to chill. With our little guy we stayed at the family beach on the lagoon. Weather was perfect. We rented 2 beach umbrellas ($25 each) which came with 2 drinks each. magic moment - drinking our Bahama Mamas on a beautiful, sunny, warm day with a light Caribbean breeze, turquoise blue water. Life doesn't get much better than that. Read Less

Calm shallow water was great for my 4 year old. We brought water wings. There were inner tubes and some other water floaties around for free. The lunch was good. Able to walk through where the dolphins and other sea creatures were without buying the excursion, that was enough for us. Read Less

Very well organized, the only complaint would be the walk from the ship to their boat to go to the island. It was kind of hard for some of our group, due to the distance. Also once on the island, the prices are quite high. Read Less
