Bimini, Bahamas Port Reviews

beautiful

Beautiful little island!

Expensive. As soon as we got off the ship we stopped at the first bar and we’re charged $23 for 2 bottles of corona. Another couple was charged $49 for 2 frozen drinks. Someone on our cruise had prearranged a special with lay low golf carts $90 for a four seater. She had uploaded a screenshot of their text exchange with the price and him encouraging her to let other cruisers know. When we found him he wouldn’t honor the $90 price because he said he thought the boat was leaving at 5:00 not 6:00. I’m all for supporting the local economy but I don’t like feeling like I’m being taken advantage of.

Could not dock. This is where the rails fell off. Had shopping trip planned on little train. Port changed to Freeport. Been there. No shopping unless you take an expensive taxi or book a trip through the ship. The excursion filled up so that option was taken out of the choices.

It was supposed to be Key West, but that government decided they don't want cruise ships anymore so we were re-routed to Bimini. Tiny island with 2000 residents, beautiful beaches but nothing else on the island with the exception of a Hilton Hotel.

We went reef fishing with Capt Jon- can't recommend this highly enough!! The crew was so kind and helpful!!

Paid to be on the beach and it was the best part of the trip

Loved Bimini! The people were nice, the beach was clean, the water was clear and beautiful! We went to Beach 360 because the tram driver said that’s the free beach. It has rest rooms and you can rent beach toys, chairs & an umbrella ($69.99 for two chairs and an umbrella), there is a food truck (prices: $12-32 depending on item), and there is a beverage truck where cocktails are $16 no matter what you have. We had brought our own water, so we didn’t buy food or alcohol because we felt those prices were high & we didn’t need it. Had a really great time in the water and just relaxing.

The water was a little choppy, so snorkeling was tough. But one of the most beautiful places I have ever experiences. Perfect water temperature. We did try to get a bite to eat at the public "snack shop" and I wouldn't buy anything there again. When my husband went to pay the price on the menu, the lady chuckled and said that isn't the right price, she charged us almost double and it took forever to get the food. I believe they knew we were tourists and charged accordingly.

No excursion. The public beach is right in front of the dock and it was beautiful. Spent the day on the beach and it didn't cost us anything. Went back on the ship to eat. Great stop. :)
