Pearl Island, Bahamas

We took the Pearl Island Beach Escape excursion after Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas had docked in Bahamas, 11/2/2022

The ferry ride from the pier to the Pearl Island is short and relaxing. This small private island is quiet and beautiful, and we enjoyed the sun, the beach, and the swim. However, the so-called Bahamian lunch has nothing to brag about.

Blue Lagoon Island, Bahamas

Excursion from Bahamas Cruise, Norwegian Getaway, 3/2022

Blue Lagoon Island (also known as Salt Cay) is just three miles northeast of Nassau, Bahamas. I took the BLUE LAGOON ISLAND BEACH DAY excursion and had a very relaxed day on the island.

We boarded a ferry right off the pier where our ship is docked. The 25-minute short cruise through Nassau’s harbor is very relaxing. This beautiful private island offers everything for a relaxing day. One can swim in the clear blue water, snorkel right off the beach and see coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, lounge on the beaches surrounded by coconut palm trees, and walk through lush vegetation that is the habitat for nesting birds, and stroll to the marine park to view sea lions and dolphins.

Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas

Norwegian’s own priviate island in the Bahamas. It’s a beautiful island, with a lot of things to do, such as swimming, snorkling, zipline…

To get to the island, we have to be tendered over. If there’s strong wind, the cruise line will likely cancel this port of call. Luckily on my Bahama’s cruise, the weather was great with a lot of sunshine.

Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day Cocoa Cay is next to Norwegian’s priviate island, but has built its own pier, no tender needed
