So I thought I would provide an update for anyone who had this same question or was considering this excursion. We were on the July 28 to Aug 4 sailing of the Oasis. We booked the excursion to the Baha Mar Resort through RCL. We paid 125 per person. That included r/t transportation and a lunch. It was a late port arrival in Nassau of 1:30pm. We had to meet in Studio B at 12:45 for the excursion. That was all very organized by the RCL excursion folks. They even gave everyone the opportunity to cancel their various excursions because of the threat of thunderstorms. (It never rained). We were finally led off the boat at about 1:30 to meet the Baha Mar representatives on the dock next to the ship. Our group of about 100-150 people were lined up and then signed waivers, given wristbands and food vouchers. This process took another 30 minutes or so. There was no real expedited process by the Baha Mar folks even though the water park was closing at 6pm. We were then paraded through the port and finally made it to the awaiting vans for transportation to the Resort. 29 People per van, no more no less. Once we were loaded on the vans we left for the resort. Traffic at that time around downtown was bad. It took about 25-30 minutes to arrive at the Resort. Once we were there we went right in and immediately enjoyed the Water Park. We were told to be back at the vans no later than 6:15. It was beautiful, clean and not crowded. The only complaints were the short amount of time we could spend there (2:30 to 6), not being told that the food huts were only open until 5 and there being a sewer smell on one part of the lazy river (on one trip around). The beach was nothing special either. We boarded the buses at 6 and were back to the port by 6:15 (no traffic this time). TL;DR- Baha Mar was awesome but the short time and lack of motivation by the Baha Mar staff to get us there quickly was frustrating.

I posted this in Bahamas Port of Call as well. Please pardon the double posting, but maybe someone in the RCL forum has more specific info.......Has anyone had experience with the Baha Mar excursion from Oasis? Docking time is 1:30. Excursion states leave time of 2pm and duration of 6 hours. Water park closes at 6. Ship leaves at 8pm. I am looking for anyone's experience with the timing and logistics of this excursion. What time do you actually get to the resort and what time does the shuttle return? Maybe non-RCL excursions experiences would be helpful as well. Thanks!
