TheWog Posted April 9, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Sea Grape isn't really a club. It is a stretch of sand that has food, facilities, chairs, etc. Not sure if Carnival delivers people there or not though, but if they use a "club" I don't think it would be Sea Grape.

Otis1230 Posted April 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I was wondering the same- go to senior froggs, royal palms, or sea grapes. I just want to relax and get sun and drinks- not too many people, etc. jet ski rentals would be nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatcruzer Posted April 10, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 10, 2010 The shore excursion info says Sea Grape beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princesstori Posted July 28, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Where did you pick up the shared tour bus? Was that something that was just parked at the port, or one you signed up for in advance?

Nanatravel Posted July 28, 2010 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2010 In February Carnival tours went to Sea Grape beach. We took the city bus to Royal Palms..it was very nice and worth the chair rental fee. Most cruise lines used to use the Colony Club - I would stay away from this property as they used to pack them in so tight and pre-sell more space/lounge chairs than the club offered.

The Beach Club Colony no longer exists...it's a construction site now. :D Most of the cruise lines seem to go to the Sea Grape section of Seven Mile Beach, or to Tiki Beach, a new facility at the far end of Seven Mile Beach that was recently opened by (I'm told) the former owners of the Beach Club Colony.
