Hi Karen, thanks for watching. With the way it was promoted before launch I hope so. The Beach Club was empty two or so hours before guests had to back onboard. We couldn't even get a drink at the bars as they were packing everything.
Hi latresemilton6729, thanks for watching. I've never felt the need to get a cabana at the beach club, but these types of increases are happening all over the cruise industry.
I'm sure the prices are highly affected by global inflation. I'm sure within the next couple/few years, they will hopefully decrease back down to pre pandemic prices.
WOW WOW WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was so helpful! Now I have exactly what I need. I can't decide to cruise and visit Bimini or stay on Bimini for a few days. I am so anxious to sail on Virign Voyages so I think I'll do it how your video shows. The pools OMG so fun and the beach amazing. Loving the night-life at the beach, I think I would enjoy that the most. Glad I found your page. Safe travels. Thank you again for all the details.
Hi Yvonne, thanks for watching. My suggestion would be to sail with Virgin Voyages, the experience is amazing. Then you can visit Bimini, spend some time at the Beach Club and also explore on your own as well and see if it is a place you like to come back and enjoy for a longer time.
Hi tanishaw8628, thanks for watching. Virgin offers a wonderful mostly-inclusive onboard experience and the time at the beach club is always fun. Enjoy!
Great video. The beach club looks amazing. The night time looks very disappointing. I expected so much more from Virgin. I thought there would be parties, shows etc.....
Hi Annette, thanks for watching. To be honest, I've been to the Beach Club twice now and both times the evening was very low energy. I'm thinking this may be due to the greatly reduced capacity on both of my sailings. Here's hoping they actually have a more lively vibe when ships are at full capacity.
They cant do a lot cause they’re leaving soon afterwards, as a matter of fact they likely already packed up, if you take the cruise early in the year you will be back to the ship before sunset
Hi Anita, thanks for watching. The entire beach club has cement walkways to make access easier. Keep in mind you'll need to transfer to a tram to get from the cruise port.
Hi Gerardo, thanks for watching. You can absolutely explore Bimini on your own. The tram from the ship will typically make a few stops, so you can decide where to get off. There are also scooters available to rent.
Hi Christine, thanks for watching. Yes, the Beach Club is only exclusive for Virgin Voyages when one of their ships is in port. You may be able to pre-book with Carnival as an excursion, or though an independent vendor or directly with Resorts World Bimini.
I went in 2019 and didn’t pay to hang out at the beach club? We did buy lunch and then went to the beach. We did stay at the Hilton. Is it still safe to rent a golf cart and drive around?
Hi Pravin_Yeshua_BTC, thanks for watching. The beach club is owned and operated by Resorts World, you can inquire if they offer day passes. rwbimini.com/bimini-beach/
Hi akmal danial abd karim, thanks for watching. Non alcoholic beverages at The Beach Club at Bimini would consist of water and soda, which like onboard are complimentary.
Hi blessednettie69, thanks for watching. The Beach Club is actually owned by Resorts World Bimini, that also operate the hotel & casino on the island. Virgin Voyages has an arrangement that grants their guests exclusive access when Virgin ships are in port. There's not much in the way of Virgin branding at the club, so if ships from other cruise lines are in port, their guests can book a day pass for an extra cost to use the Resorts World properties.
Hi hypnoticfire bee, thanks for watching. After my two times to Bimini Beach Club I was quite disappointed that there was virtually nothing happening after around 6pm. Even the bars were packing up to get back to the ship. Not the evening experience that was promoted by VV, but perhaps with time this will change.

Hi Tasha, thanks for watching. If at the Beach Club while stopped at Bimini on a Virgin Voyages cruise, then yes, the food at the main buffet is included.
Hi Sandy, thanks for watching. If you are on a Virgin Voyages ship, there is no extra cost, other than drinks or a, optional cabana rental. If you arrive by another cruise line the rates will vary, but I believe around $90/ per person.
Hi Gina, thanks for watching. I was actually there in February, we departed Bimini at 7pm. I was also there in October and we departed at 11pm. Both times however, there was really nothing happening after sunset.
Thank you for the tour of Bimini Beach Club. We will be there in November for our first time on Virgin. What time of the year were you there? Teetering with the idea of a cabana but I am reading a lot of people saying they are not worth it and it looks like there’s plenty of seating based on your video. Just not sure how crowded it will be when we are there in November. Also, is there a charge for the lockers? Tks. 🛳️
Hi brantthompson199, thanks for watching. I've been there several times and varied months. Personally, unless you want to guarantee a shade spot, I'd skip the Cabana and get there early to secure chairs with an umbrella. Can't speak to the lockers, I never used them.
This was great. Out of all the videos I’ve watched, I haven’t seen anyone else capture the beach club at night.
Hi legacy4487, thanks for watching. The beach club has changed from VV orignal concept, but the fires on the beach are pretty awesome.
Cause the ship usually is gone by then, depends which time of the year you’re doing the trip
Headed out on the Scarlet Lady for Christmas 2024. Bimini Beach Club looks fantastic! Thank you for capturing the different times of day.
Hi lenisselippert1639, thanks for watching. Enjoy your cruise!
Great video. I can't wait to visit the Beach Club. I hope as capacity increases the night life has more energy.
Hi Karen, thanks for watching. With the way it was promoted before launch I hope so. The Beach Club was empty two or so hours before guests had to back onboard. We couldn't even get a drink at the bars as they were packing everything.
I wish the cabanas were still $350. They're $650 now with the same $100 bar tab 😮 I guess I'll be getting up early to get prime seating 😅

amazing place
Hi CEP, thanks for watching.
Thanks for posting a nice thorough look of this stop on VV. Are the chairs and umbrellas on the beach first come first served?
Hi MelisaSmithwick, thanks for watching.Yes, the chairs and umbrellas are free to use and on first occupied basis.
Beautiful thank you
Thanks Mercedes!
Thank you for this video! I am going next month. Did you happen notice if there were a lot of accessible routes?
Hi Anita, thanks for watching. The entire beach club has cement walkways to make access easier. Keep in mind you'll need to transfer to a tram to get from the cruise port.
Great video. Are you able to explore the island or you must stay in the beach club area? Have a great day.
Hi Gerardo, thanks for watching. You can absolutely explore Bimini on your own. The tram from the ship will typically make a few stops, so you can decide where to get off. There are also scooters available to rent.
Great video. However the cabanas are $650 now smh
Hi ucpleasuresfyi, thanks for watching. Can't really change the video at this point, but cruising continues to get much more expensive.
If your on a Carnival cruise can you book a day pass for here in Bimini
Hi Christine, thanks for watching. Yes, the Beach Club is only exclusive for Virgin Voyages when one of their ships is in port. You may be able to pre-book with Carnival as an excursion, or though an independent vendor or directly with Resorts World Bimini.
Is there a charge to use the lockers if sailing with VV?
Hu nicolederrickson9132 , thanks for watching. There was no charge when I was there, but that may have changed since then.
I went in 2019 and didn’t pay to hang out at the beach club? We did buy lunch and then went to the beach. We did stay at the Hilton. Is it still safe to rent a golf cart and drive around?
Hi OceanLife772, thanks for watching. Yes, renting golf carts is very popular, I;'ll be doing that myself on my next visit.
Hi. Can I purchase a day pass to this beach resort if I flew to the island (not cruising with Virgin).
Hi Pravin_Yeshua_BTC, thanks for watching. The beach club is owned and operated by Resorts World, you can inquire if they offer day passes. rwbimini.com/bimini-beach/
Hi.. great video. Do they have non alcoholic drinks at the club and are they included or seperate if you cruise with VV?
Hi akmal danial abd karim, thanks for watching. Non alcoholic beverages at The Beach Club at Bimini would consist of water and soda, which like onboard are complimentary.
Awesome! So this beach club is exclusive to Virginia Voyages?
Hi blessednettie69, thanks for watching. The Beach Club is actually owned by Resorts World Bimini, that also operate the hotel & casino on the island.

Is the beach club free or part of an excursion package?
Hi mauradiblasio9119, thanks for watching. The Beach Club is included for all guests sailing on Virgin Voyages.
do they have a dinner on the island or do you have to go back to the ship
Hi hypnoticfire bee, thanks for watching. After my two times to Bimini Beach Club I was quite disappointed that there was virtually nothing happening after around 6pm. Even the bars were packing up to get back to the ship. Not the evening experience that was promoted by VV, but perhaps with time this will change.
What time does the boat leave?
Hi Isaiah, thanks for watching. The departure from Bimini changes, I've been there until 11pm and another time until 7pm.
Do other ships that have stop at Bimini can use this beach club ?
Hi Eric, thanks for watching. The Beach Club is actually owned by Resorts World Bimini, that also operate the hotel & casino on the island.

Is food included at the Beach club?
Hi Tasha, thanks for watching. If at the Beach Club while stopped at Bimini on a Virgin Voyages cruise, then yes, the food at the main buffet is included.
Hi how much does this stop over costs? And what is included ?
It looks absolutely gorgeous 🥰
Hi Sandy, thanks for watching. If you are on a Virgin Voyages ship, there is no extra cost, other than drinks or a, optional cabana rental. If you arrive by another cruise line the rates will vary, but I believe around $90/ per person.
I’m sailing in July and the itinerary says that we leave Bimini at 8 PM. What time did the ship leave the island when you were there in March?
Hi Gina, thanks for watching. I was actually there in February, we departed Bimini at 7pm. I was also there in October and we departed at 11pm. Both times however, there was really nothing happening after sunset.
Thank you for the tour of Bimini Beach Club. We will be there in November for our first time on Virgin. What time of the year were you there?
