Choosing excursions on the Carnival Liberty can be difficult when there are so many offered.
Being on a cruise ship is so much fun, but I also love getting off and exploring new destinations.
Last month when I was on the Carnival Liberty with my sister, we chose to spend the day on a private island in Nassau just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful beach. It was perfect!
When you book your cruise, you will have the option of booking your excursion at the same time. In my opinion, this is really the best time to lock in your choice.
You can also book once on the ship, but lines may be long and as some excursions have limited capacity, they may be sold out if you wait. The Shore Excursion Desk hours are listed in the Fun Shore Guide, along with details about each option.
We had our choices narrowed down to these three:
- Catamaran Sail & Snorkel
- Atlantis Beach Day & Discover Atlantis
- Private Island Beach Day with BBQ Lunch
As we were trying to make our decision, the Catamaran Sail & Snorkel sold out. My sister and I really just wanted to relax, so we chose the Private Island Beach Day. Included in our 4 ½ hour excursion was transportation, a beach chair, a burger with chips, and one rum cocktail. There was a bar just steps from the white sand beach and an indoor food venue, as well.
The ride to the island was beautiful, too. I think I took about 100 photos.
The water was so blue, and we could see Atlantis in the distance.
Once we got to the private island, we grabbed a cocktail and our chairs. I didn't know what to expect, so I was glad to see there were so many chairs available.
Don't you hate when you get to a pool or beach and have to hunt for chairs? We brought towels from the pool on the ship, so we slathered on the sunscreen and settled in for a relaxing afternoon.
We walked along the beach, took a dip in the cool water, and chilled in our beach chairs with a signature daiquiri.
I don't get to see my sister as much as I did before we moved, so it was nice to just have a few hours to catch up.
We enjoyed the music played by the DJ, who later in the day played dance music. We didn't join in, but loved watching! It looked too much like exercise for me. I was on vacation!
