Scrappy cruiser Posted March 14, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Anyone know anything about Balmoral Park opening in Nassau? I'm not even sure what it is. I will guess that you are referring to this article: http://www.seatrade-insider.com/news/news-headlines/caribbean-warned-to-improve-product-or-lose-calls.html I, too, am curious about Balmoral Park.

scubagirrl Posted March 14, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Anyone know anything about Balmoral Park opening in Nassau? I'm not even sure what it is. Haven't heard an official name for it yet.. but the island which was Blackbeards Cay is supposed to be a new cruise park/beach at some point. I don't see much activity on the island, which is shared by Sandals, so I have no idea whether it's moving forward, or when it might be opened. This area is currently called Balmoral .. so it stands to reason they would keep the name. Edited March 14, 2013 by scubagirrl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's suppose to open in April. Going there the 1st. week of May, so we will see. Edited March 15, 2013 by Skipbinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxdude5 Posted July 5, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Anyone visit? Hesitant to book excursion without any reviews. Price seems decent on Carnival's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubagirrl Posted July 5, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Anyone visit? Hesitant to book excursion without any reviews. Price seems decent on Carnival's website. haven't been out there yet, but it's the old Blackbeards Cay space that was updated by Carnival. Last I was there they had a great beach. If the price is right, I'd go for it. The island is shared on the back side with Sandals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebelle Posted July 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Im undecided on whether to book this too. It just popped up as an option wirh Carnival and debating between this or the hilton. Hopefully some will share their experiences soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rrraydon Posted July 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Carnival's price for this beach is excursion is $50pp. That's for a chair on the beach and transportation. I wonder if you take a cab or the jitney if you can just pay a fee when you get there. The price seems steep to me just to sit on the beach with a chair... curious as to what's the draw...

Aldeya Posted July 8, 2013 #9 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Also the duration of the excursion is listed ONE HOUR. Obviously it has to be a mistake.. I hope...:D I would love to hear some feedback from people who booked the excursion. Edited July 8, 2013 by Aldeya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From researching, It is my understanding that it is a separate island requiring boat transport, though I could be wrong. So perhaps that is part of the reason for the escalated price. Also the duration of the excursion is listed ONE HOUR. Obviously it has to be a mistake.. I hope...:D I would love to hear some feedback from people who booked the excursion. I noticed in fine print it states the excursion is at your own pace. So I assume you can stay as long as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armedaneian Posted July 11, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'd like to know if there would be anything worth snorkeling to from shore? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the fine print but I don't think you can stay as long as you want if you want to use the same transportation to get back to the ship. I just hope someone gets back to us with information about this excursion. Edited July 11, 2013 by Aldeya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cajunqueen Posted July 31, 2013 #21 Share Posted July 31, 2013 It is on the list of excursion for my cruise first week of Sept. BUT time says 7:30 - 8:30.

SweetestOne Posted August 7, 2013 #23 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Leaving in a couple days and we are able to book this excursion. We've been very curious about it but have not been able to get much information. Thinking we are going to buy the day pass at Sheraton due to lack of info but if we end up booking Balmoral instead on a whim (which is a pretty good possibility), I'll come back with pics and a review.
