Bahamas Cruise for only $300












It was my first time ever to experience a cruise and luckily I got it for a very affordable price. I only spent $200USD for a 4 Days 3 Night Cruise From Miami to The Bahamas via  Royal Caribbean Cruises.  I got it at a discount at a travel expo in Manila. Taking this cruise trip is truly worth the money.  You only have to pay $200 for accommodation and unlimited food and drinks with the use of the Ship’s amenities. The food in the cruise was excellent and world class. You can choose to do a buffet or a sit down whichever your choice. I prefer the sit down menu as food is more formal and more specialized and you get to be fancy even just for a few days. 

Our ship went first to the Bahamas Private Island. The Cruise Company owns one of the islands in the Bahamas where guest can freely sit down, swim and chill at the private beach. The beach has white sand but is quite rocky.  It’s a nice beach but I have seen better especially the ones that are located in my home country. It’s private but is still crowded because all of the guests were at the beach.  They brought grilled food which has unlimited buffet.  On the 2nd Day of the Cruise we went to the Mainland of the Bahamas Island which is in Nassau. Nassau is where you can see old colorful houses, the Atlantis Resort and other Historical Sites. We rode a taxi for $5USD each that took us to the Atlantis Resort. It was just sad that in order to get into the main hotel we had to pay like $200 to the main resort.  We had a lot of fun roaming around Nassau because we got to experience the Authentic Bohemian Culture and got to meet locals, eat their food and learn a little bit of their history.  On our Last day of our Cruise Trip we just enjoyed the boat and get the experience the cruise night. The cruise night is where crew ship employees show off their presentations to the guest. This is such a fun and entertaining night because guests will also dance along the night. 

Taking a cruise trip is worth it.  It’s very convenient, since you only have to pay once for your food, tour and accommodation. There are a lot of things to do in the ship like watch a play, swimming, exercising, wall climbing, partying and dining at the same time. You should try it once in your life.
