nyfeds Posted August 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2016 We are considering a Celebrity cruise that stops in both Nassau and CocoCay, Bahamas. Has anyone stopped at both these ports? If so, are pink sand beaches to be found there? Thoughts and opinions, please. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickw Posted August 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Never heard of pink sand before. Must be Bermuda, as I haven't been there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germanyboy Posted August 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Coco Kay has nice beaches but supposedly half of celebrity cruises there can't tender in due to bad weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizen Susan Posted August 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Coco Kay has nice beaches but supposedly half of celebrity cruises there can't tender in due to bad weather You are correct. We've missed Coco Kay due to winds about half of our Bahamas' stops there. You may not want to choose an intinerary based on this sweet little stop, because you'll be disappointed if tendering is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchcanrican Posted August 26, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Bahamas is okay. Unfortunately the stops the ship makes there are not the best when compared to some of the other islands. Look for another trip. This is my personal opinion.

scubagirrl Posted August 26, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Just for the record, there are several Bahamian Islands with pink sand. The most famous is Pink Sand Beach on Harbour Island, eleuthera. This beach has made the top10 list on many travel sites and magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetlove13 Posted August 26, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I like the Bahamas. It bothers me when others say to skip it just because they didn't like it. Coco Cay was really nice when I went. I made a couple friends on the ship & we walked down to a secluded area far from the main beach & had an area mostly to ourselves where we relaxed most of the day. They have a delicious mixed drink called a Cocoloco you can get there! As for Nassau, both times I went there I took an excursion to Blue Lagoon Island, which I highly recommend. You take a small boat over to the private island & it's really beautiful. The first time I went they offered swimming with stingrays which was really fun. Last time I was there they didn't have that anymore but they still had swimming with dolphins and I think seals also. There's also the straw market in Nassau that a lot of people like but I've never actually bought anything there, just walked through. If you are interested in the Bahamas & the price is right, you should go!! [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh2pizza Posted August 27, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Nassau you want nice beaches go to Cable Beach area. It's the newer area. We seen it on our way to their airport last year. If your looking for great food go to the Poop Deck. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
