Can you just sit at the bar at both Royal Palms and not rent a chair/umbrella?  We would like to wander up and down the beach, stopping when we want to refresh.

 

Thanks.

 

You are not required to rent a chair/umbrella. Only the $2 admission charge.  I saw people who were sitting on the beach on beach towels.

Yes you can sit there.  At a table, belly up to the bar or use one of the outdoor couches.  They would probably insist that you bought at least drinks if you did that, though, of course.  I have done that many times.  Of course you can't reserve one.

One note on the buses.  They are really large vans, and they will not leave to go back to port until they fill up the van. They have a jump seat between the driver and passenger seat, and the driver waited till it was occupied as well before leaving.  Once we paid and boarded, we waited 15 minutes (with the AC on...thankfully!)...so don't try to cut the time too close coming back to the ship!
