Yes they have lockers there. We used them in Nov 2019. We also rented a few chairs. Loved Trunk bay!!

Whistle?? WE stayed at Sapphire for a week Nov 2019 and never heard any whistle and we snorkeled quite a bit. You will love the new beach bar there and the food is great!
-
I would take a taxi to gorgeous sapphire Beach and sit at the new bar, have some great food and cocktails and take a dip in the water there. They are open until 8pm on weekdays..later on weekends with music . Kids can play on the beach and also there is an area for families to sit

Having done multiple cruises on both western and eastern Caribbean hands down the Eastern Caribbean. We are beach people and find most of the western beaches a bit rocky and not very calm, where as in the Eastern Caribbean they are much more calm. We have fallen in love with the beaches on St Thomas so much so that we are booked for a week on the island in a beach front condo
-
I would recommend Sapphire or Coki beach. Sapphire tends to be a little less crowded. I haven't been to any of the beaches on St Thomas where I wouldn't feel safe as a woman of 63

Thank you !!
How long does it take from the pier to the beach (NCL Bliss)? Does it have restaurants and bathrooms ? Any entrance fees ? Chair and lounges?
Also, I've read somewhere that Corki beach is also very nice! Does anyone have any idea how long does it take to get there from the pier ? (NCL BLISS) and the cost ? Thanks
Coki beach is very close to sapphire so the cost should be the same

We had a great day at resort for a day pass at Hilton. Nice food, drinks, pool and beach! http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/bahamas/british-colonial-hilton-nassau-NASHIHH/attractions/cruiseship-info.html

British Colonial Hilton in Nassau. Nice beach, pool, bar and food. Go to resort for a day dot com. Loved the Hilton, and you can see the ship from there. Its about $75 but that includes a $40 voucher towards food and drinks
-
Most excursions on Carnival are the same on all the ships. I suggest go to the board with the island you are thinking of the excursion or just do a search on particular ones:cool:
-
We walked to British Colonial Hilton which had a beautiful beach and pool. I think its like $75 but that includes a food and drink voucher for $40. Nice outdoor dining, chairs and you can see the ship from there. Go to Resort for a day dot com. You can also read the reviews on it also thru Trip advisor

Hi, we are going on our first cruise in December...family of 4 (2 kids under 12). We will be going to Nassau and Freeport. We'd like to do one of the dolphin excursions off the Carnival Ecstasy. My kids aren't good swimmers though. Are they provided life jackets for these type of excursions? If not, can we bring our own or rent them? Anyone been there then? Is the water super cold at that time? Wondering about wetsuits for the kids....they have their hearts set on the dolphins!
No worries. They provide life jackets and everyone is required to wear one. They ARE VERY SAFETY CONSCIOUS . The water is warm year round so no wet suits needed

Coki and Sapphire beach are both beautiful with calm crystal clear water for swimming or wading. Chairs and food are available to purchase. We bring a box of corn flakes from the ship buffet and feed the fish. They are plentiful and gorgeous. Lots of Nimo fish :D:D:D:):). The kids would love either one.
-
We went to the British Colonial Hilton on Nassau with a day pass. Beautiful beach and pool and pass includes food vouchers. You can see the ship from there so ut is in walking distance. Go to resort for a day website an check it out. Took my 2 grandsons and they loved it and it wasnt crowded at all!!
-
St Thomas and St Maarten are my two favorite ports. In fact we have a week booked for St Thomas in Sept. Coki Beach and Sapphire beach are beautiful clear calm water where you can see all the beautiful tropical fish swim around you. You can rent chairs there and get snacks. bring a towel. In St Maarten there are many gorgeous beaches, Just google them, We like to rent chairs right by the port in front of all the shopping. Beautiful beach there. I envy you!! Have fun

Royal Caribbean. I have a five year old. Snorkeling would be good. Our itenirary was changed from Irma, so I'm last minute planning.

LOVED your review! That expensive cable you got had me cracking up! We too rented a Cabana in Grand Turk but really want to explore the ocean. How far is it to the beach from your Cabana? Thanks in Advance! :D:D

There is no beach at the pier. You must be thinking of Grand Turk

Hello,
Few facts:
-Never been on a cruise
-Wife and two boys (9 and 6)
-Live in California but do not want to go on Mexico cruise from Long Beach.
-No budget but would prefer to stay below $5K including flight.
-5 to 6 days sound good.
-No destination in mind but somewhere young kids will enjoy.
-Maybe travel this December or January.
I'm thinking Florida departure but don't know.
Please recommend Itinerary and Ship.
Many thanks!
Just checked Carnival Sunshine as its great for kids and has some of the best water slides at sea. There is a cruise 6 days Dec 17th out of Port Canaveral which is a easy port to sail out of and Orlando usually has good rates on flights. There is ONE scenic ocean view room left. They are new at at the front and have floor to ceiling windows!ports are Amber Cove (new port)..Grand Turk (amazing water and beach by ship) and Nassau for $2733
GRAB IT !! Have fun whatever you choose! :D

Thats the Sapphire beach webcam on Youtube. I watch it all the time. We have been going to Sapphire beach now for 3 years and love it there. Try to get a condo in building A, B or C. The other buildings are far from the swimming area and the coffee bar which they added last year. we always stay in Building A and rent from VRBO. Check out Kathis Condo rentals on facebook and if hers isnt available she can help you find one. We have fun driving on the left. Its crazy and not easy to get used too so I let my husband drive..lol. Food you can pick up nearby at Moes Market. Just realize its at least twice the cost of the states as everything has to be shipped in. Sapphire marina rents jetskiis or daysailing. The east end is the best place to rent because its near all the best beaches and Red Hook with lots of great restaurants. Be sure to catch Lobster Wednesdays ta Duffys Love Shack. Also the ferry dock is in Red Hook to take a day trip to St John which is NOT to be missed. We are booked for the week of Nov 14th and cannot wait.
