Bahamas, Caribbean

Pool day passes in the Bahamas start at $25 and go up to $146 for waterpark access. Most options are concentrated in Nassau on New Providence Island, where cruise passengers can walk to several resorts directly from the port. Grand Bahama Island (Freeport) has the best budget-friendly passes, while Exuma and Eleuthera offer quieter resort experiences.

Nassau is the main hub, with six resorts offering day passes. Margaritaville Beach Resort and British Colonial Hotel are both walkable from the cruise terminal. For waterpark thrills, Baha Bay at the Baha Mar resort on Cable Beach is the largest option, though you'll need a short taxi ride to get there.

If you're visiting Freeport on Grand Bahama, Taino Beach Resort and Viva Fortuna offer some of the cheapest passes in the country. Viva Fortuna's all-inclusive pass at $75 is hard to beat if you want food and drinks included.

Day passes for cruise passengers in Nassau

Most cruise ships dock at Prince George Wharf in downtown Nassau. From there, Margaritaville Beach Resort and British Colonial Hotel are within a 10-minute walk. Baha Mar and its Baha Bay waterpark are about 15 minutes by taxi on Cable Beach. Book in advance during peak cruise season (December through April), as resorts cap the number of day passes sold.

Tips for booking

Book online ahead of time whenever possible. Nassau resorts frequently sell out during the winter cruise season. Most passes run from around 10am to 5pm or 6pm. Bring cash for food and drinks at properties that don't include them in the pass price.
