I went to Royal Caribbean's $250 million private island in the Bahamas and was shocked by how much I loved it
With rows of brightly colored lounge chairs and umbrellas, these two destinations looked nearly identical to hotel-owned beach clubs that cost a pretty penny to visit.But here, I didn't have to open my wallet to breathe in the salty air and snag a seat on the beach.I managed to find a spot in front of the water, giving me an idyllic break from my walk around the island.
For travelers who'd rather move around, there's also the option to rent snorkeling gear, take a jet ski tour, or even play giant billiards.But as someone who was still sweating from her walk under the sun, nothing seemed more appealing than laying on a beach chair.If my cruise itinerary had stopped at another island, my afternoon likely would have looked the same: lounging by the water.
Royal Caribbean says it's the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean. And at its peak, this "Oasis" felt more like a pool party with loud music and free-flowing booze.Brittany Chang/Insider Media was given access to Thrill Waterpark during the later half of the afternoon. So off I went, abandoning my prime seat on the beach.Like Coco Beach Club, a day at the water park and its pools, beach chairs, and 13 water slides costs extra.But once you're in, you'll have access to Thrill Waterpark's crown jewel: Daredevil's Peak, which Royal Caribbean says is the tallest waterslide in North America.
