Nassau- Margaritaville day pass?

[L1211]

Planning a cruise today that leaves Jan 2. Not much planning time!  We port in Nassau - not my favorite.  But, I see there is a new Margaritaville resort near the pier.  Has anyone does this for a day?  Purchase in advance from Resort For a Day or can you purchase directly from the resort?  Is it walkable?  Thanks

We were in Nassau a couple of weeks ago on the Magic.The resort didn't look like it would be ready in time for January.We are sailing on Jan 2nd on the  Mardi Gras with a stop in Nassau on Jan. 3rd. so we'll see the progress.

We did this in November on our last Carnival cruise. We had a great time.  Brand new resort and water park was a blast. We bought tickets when we got there. I think it was like $80.  We enjoyed it would def do it again.  And yes it’s walkable.

Parodeejay just posted a video today about their day pass experience there.

That video is spot in. I think it's a great option, if you like the video.

They did a continuation on their next video (at the beginning mainly) including a tour of a couple of rooms.

Where was the inclusion of the credit for food and drink? I booked on resort for a day and it did not include? Does anyone know?

anyone know if they limit capacity? I have a day pass with my BFF purchased for April. There will be 6 cruise ships in port that day...YIKES.

Have you used Resort for a Day before?  Were they good?

If anyone has been to the spa area, is the steam room co-ed?  I know the lounge and hot tub is.

 

With the water being unheated outside and am rain in the forecast, my spouse and I are considering the spa pass.  However, we'd prefer to enjoy it together.

We were diverted from San Juan PR on our trip on Carnival Mardi Gras to Nassau.  After visiting Margaritaville, I am glad we were.  We spent the day there and had an amazing time.  I made a short video of our day if anyone is interested.

Thank you so much for posting this!! We are planning on going in a few weeks.  Your video showcased the place very nicely.  Even if it is cold, it will be nice to sit on the beach.  Great video!!  👍👍🙂

You are going to love it.  You'll have to report back and let me know if you enjoyed it.

I don't know about "good," but all worked out fine the last time we did it. We just went to hotel, showed them our receipt, paid the rest and went about our day of fun!

Excellent video, we are booked there on our cruise in a month, really looking forward to it.  You mentioned parts of the water park were chilly water, but the pool was warm.  What time of day were you there ? And how warm was the day ?  Just interested 😎

I just called there.  They aren’t doing day passes. Having trouble finding a resort that does.

We were there most of the day. It was generally a chilly day (for Bahamas) at 20c (68f). But the water was heated. In January the sun was generally low in the sky.

I would book a pass with this website as I did. You need to choose a date but worked perfectly for us.
