SocrRiss18 Posted April 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Will be in GC next week. Not interested in the sting rays or anything, just looking to go to the beach ad maybe to hell. I see the top beaches seem to be the Royal Palms (more expensive) and Tiki. I know the cruise line goes to Tiki for $30-40 round trip with a drink I believe, but was wondering if it was worth doing this or if we should get a cab on our own? Any tips, comments, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfreedom09 Posted April 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I am also interested in knowing more about Tiki! I am looking at RCCL's excursion Seven Mile Beach Break at Tiki Beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jty1220 Posted April 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2011 What about Royal Palms is expensive? I thought it was a public beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curacaoqueen Posted April 25, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Royal Palms is a bar and restaurant, they charge to rent the lounge chairs and use of their pool. The sand is free. Tiki is also a bar on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbabe Posted April 26, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Royal Palms is a bar and restaurant, they charge to rent the lounge chairs and use of their pool. The sand is free. Tiki is also a bar on the beach. Technically, there's no charge for the pool at Royal Palms...you just have to make a certain minimum purchase of food/drinks. :D Tiki Beach seems to be one of the more common ship excursion stops, and that's enough to make me avoid it. :eek: Why pay extra to be more crowded? Any ship beach excursion is going to cost more than a DYI trip to the beach, just for the simplicity of not having to plan anything. You can save a lot, though, by going to Royal Palms or Sea Grape by taxi ($4-6 pp each way) or public bus ($2.50 pp each way) and then just throwing a towel down on the sand (free). Your only other costs are whatever food, drinks, watersports, etc. you choose to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
