Nassau Blue Lagoon Island Beach Excursion Reviews

Not enough lounge chairs and unbrella that were working, they charged extra for a canopy. Read Less

blue lagoon is very nice, plus w/ Segway you get a tour of the island. Read Less

Originally, we scheduled an excursion independently through Island Marketing LTD to take a private boat (with Capt. Carl who we love) snorkeling and fishing. That had to be canceled because of the weather. They were true to their policy and gave us a full refund. We were able to go to the excursion desk on board our ship and get a beach day at Blue Lagoon Island last minute. We have been there before and knew it was beautiful and a great time. I highly recommend this excursion despite today's experience. Unfortunately, the weather didn't hold out and I would have been better saving the $400 and staying on the ship. Imagine a couple thousand people trying to get lunch at a pavilion at the same time then all trying to get the first ferry back to the ship. Poor thinking on my part after Capt. Carl canceling.

Swam and got to engage with stingrays... very cool. UNFORTUNATELY, all pictures taken HAVE TO be purchased there -on island. They do not tell you this; and you will NOT be able to view/purchase them aboard ship (ship's company worthless in resolving). Read Less

we went to Blue lagoon and it was sooo worth it! Lunch was what it was-hamburgers, hot dog, bbq chicken, rice, ff, salad, etc...nothing special, but hey it was food...make sure you bring a water bottle...you only get one soda and no refills.Also they are really expensive for items in their store-and charged $1.50 extra for using our CC. The guys who brought us to the island were hilarious!! Made the 30 min ride so worth it. They had jokes!! They had music and danced and had a congo line. So much fun!! We got to see the dolphins and stingrays and sea lions. Make sure you venture over there while the others are doing their excursion otherwise you miss them jumping in the air and doing everything. We waited about 45 minutes before we headed over there! Read Less

It is a beautiful place but I felt very rushed to leave the Lagoon. Also, there are rules on the Lagoon that one cannot access VIP beaches so that was disappointing. The food was very average. I enjoyed the crystal waters and the beach the most but wished that I could have stayed to enjoy it longer, at lease 2 hours longer. Read Less

Gaerlicia was a wonderful attendant. She took excellent care of us and facilitated the Medical services necessary for the mishaps of 2 of our ladies. Read Less

Great day on the beach and were able to watch the dolphins, sea lions and rays swimming. Be aware that 30 minute boat ride both ways cuts into your time. Read Less

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
