Sapphire Beach excursion question

[emerald6273]

Booking ship excursion with OBC to Sapphire Beach. Lunch at snack bar available for extra $20 per person. Understand celebrity issue lunch coupons. Is snack bar good at Sapphire?

I haven't tried it but my very picky friend has and raved about the burger. Others rave about the mahi mahi sandwich. I don't like the fact they don't have French fries.

The food is pretty good . Its basic not at all fancy. I had a big cheese dog with bacon and I'm not sure my arteries appreciated it but it was very good.

Do you it's worth the extra $20 each for food?

Bill I understand this is no longer the same as the Banana Cabana and the snack bar is run by the owner of other facilities in Secret Harbor and elsewhere, is that accurate? Is the BC set-up gone altogether?

We loved the mahi mahi sandwich from BC...

I won't eat burgers or sandwiches at a restaurant without french fries so for me wouldn't be worth it. Depending on timing of excursion you can buy sandwiches and snacks at Gourmet Gallery across the street from the Crown Bay dock. There are also pizza places that will deliver to Sapphire. The dive shop has the phone numbers and will call for you if they're not busy. One pizza place is very close. Slice VI is the name of it.

On a beach or a hot day we would prefer chips over french fries but to each their own.

Blue_water, the answer to all your questions is yes. I heard the mahi sandwich is good. Thor who worked at BC now works at the new place so mahi may be the same.

The Sapphire Beach Grill is run by the St Thomas Restaurant Group. They run the Carribean Fish Market and Sangrias beach bar at the Elysian They run the beach bar and Sunset Grill at Secret Harbor, Pesce's Restaurant and Melt in Red Hook, and Havana Blue. I think they also run a few others so they know what there doing

 

Is lunch worth an extra $20 ? It depends on what's included. Most of the sandwichs are in the $10 to $12 range if the lunch includes a drink or something else maybe worth it but it's marginal

 

They no longer allow outside food vendors on the beach but you can still walk to Slice for a full service restaurant

 

Blue I hear the Mahi sandwich is still good but Banna Cabana is gone for good

Thanks for the update, Bill. I guess you could meet the food delivery in the parking lot and take it to the beach?

The rumor is that the Sapphire Beach grill is getting a pizza oven, but I don't know if it is true or what the timing is.

I knew we should have bought a condo at Sapphire! :p

So it's a wash, but if the OP has no other way to spend the OBC the lunch option makes sense...
