Instead, I noticed a nice variety of food options ranging from from curry jerk chicken and roasted corn to fresh salads and vegetarian options. Just like on the ship, there was no buffet. Virgin Voyages has a mostly all-inclusive approach to sailing, so I wasn't surprised to see a free lunch included at the beach club. One of the things I loved about my first sailing on Virgin Voyages was all the free specialty dining options included in the base cruise fare. The Beach Club at Bimini serves a free lunch for Virgin Voyages cruise guests. I also found it interesting to learn that Resorts World hotel guests who visit on other days will not see the same Virgin Voyages branding, food, and decor, according to Cruise Critic. Cruise Radio reports that Carnival guests have been able to book a day pass for $39.99, or $99.99 for a day pass with open bar included. Resorts World is not attached or located on property either hotel guests must take a shuttle to the club.Īdditionally, when Virgin Voyages isn't in port, other cruise line passengers visiting for the day may book and pay for day passes to use the beach club alongside Resorts World guests.

Resorts World hotel guests may only access the club when the cruise port is empty. When a Virgin Voyages ship is docked in Bimini, Virgin Voyages guests have exclusive free access to use the beach club. It's managed in partnership between Virgin Voyages and Resorts World Bimini, a local hotel that is located a short distance away. The Beach Club at Bimini is managed through a partnership between Virgin Voyages and Resorts World Bimini.Īlso unlike the typical cruise private island I've experienced, the facilities at The Beach Club at Bimini are shared. Here's a closer look around The Beach Club at Bimini, including why it impressed me so much, it inspired me to book back-to-back sailings with Virgin Voyages. I loved the relaxed vibe, beachfront amenities, and the welcoming warm water of two huge resort pools flanked by a beautiful beach. Visiting this exclusive beach club was a highlight of my roundtrip Miami sailing onboard Virgin's Scarlet Lady. So when I booked my first ever adults-only cruise on Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady, I was excited to learn that for one port stop, guests would have free access for the day to The Beach Club at Bimini, a sleek beachfront club with two sprawling resort pools. I've only seen pools at these private port stops at Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at CocoCay. These private islands feel like a remote paradise, but in my experience, they're typically just a beach to hang out at for the day.
