ust went to Radio Beach in July. The beach is located in the middle of run down shacks and litter everywhere. We seen old appliances , abandoned rusty cars and 55 gallon barrels of trash everywhere. Definitely not what we imagined after viewing TH-cam videos. Basically the island is a 3rd world country. All the golf carts were a minimum of $100 / day which is more than any rental car in the USA. Hopefully the locals take more pride in their island and clean it up if they want ships to continue to port there! I don’t recommend this place to anyone.
It was the same issues on the Glory this pass weekend. We had a whole motorcycle gang on our cruise, but they were the cool one. There were a bunch of hood grown folks and loud children. Food was great.
$120 for a golfcart is kinda high. Do you know how far the straw market is from beach 360? Considering just taking the tram. But need to pickup a magnet on the way to the beach.
Unfortunately, the straw market isn’t accessible by tram. However, immediately in town is a taxi stand which charged about $5 each way to the straw market (which is quite small but there should be magnets.)
Thank you for posting this video, after watching I’ve made the decision to go ahead and book the Resort World excursion for our cruise In November. It looks like you spend money either way (excursion or no excursion) and I’d rather not mess with the nonsense. Lol. Also, you are correct the shorter cruises on the older smaller ships are where you see the ‘riff riff’ try one of the bigger ships…. Vista, Horizon, Mardi Gras, Magic, Celebration, Jubille next time. ❤
I’ve done 8 carnival cruises and the only time me and my wife had to deal with ratchetness is the only 3 day cruise we ever took. Only cruises above 5 days for us now😂
Very late post but I am glad that I watch your video. I am sorry about your experience on Liberty but glad that you had an opportunity to hang out with your daughter. We are getting ready to take this cruise in a few weeks. Your video helped me to prepare my mind for worst case scenario. This is our 1st family trip excluding trips to reunions, or family member's homes, and first family trip as our children are becoming young adults living on their own. I appreciate your honesty and perspective. Hopefully it will be a beautiful time with the family. And if cruise line, food, Bimini is decent, that will be icing on the cake!
We rented a golf cart one dude said $100 another dude said $80 so we got it. Then we went to the free beach at the end of the beach and snorkeled I brought gear from Amazon that I bought. We had trouble getting food on the island no one wanted to serve us. 🤷🏻♀️ we went to a cool looking place they never came to our table so we left. We went to the other place same thing. We went to the pizza place which we didn’t want to do cause we wanted some local type food. The lady was super rude but we was hungry. My daughter ordered conche fritter she told her to go next door to the place that wouldn’t come to our table. I asked for a patty melt she said no patties. The drinks just said sodas I asked what kind she was mad cause I asked. But the snorkeling was fantastic!! I am low vision and the water was so clear I could see all kinds of fish so I was tickled to knock that off my bucket list
I enjoyed Bimini because we mostly swam at that beautiful free beach at the end of island. If it wasn’t for that i would have been disappointed with it as well because there were a lot of bad experiences there and at Freeport
I love Bimini! You should give Bimini another try but do the Resorts World excursion. It is so wonderful. We are actually going back to Bimini again this week on another cruise. As far as the golf carts you can rent them ahead of time through BMB rental and they don’t jack up the price.
I've noticed that many of the cruise companies are going to Bimini. I agree it looks like there is no historical information, activities or must see sites. Thank you for this video. We are going on Virgin Voyages in April and this is the first stop. Will not waste our time.
We noticed that too. Maybe in the future since Bimini is a newer port they will have more revenue to put into making it more appealing but for now, I’ll pass!! Lol
Girl! I live west of Atlanta and am going on my first cruise on MSC Seashore with my daughter, Feb 2025, for 3 nights. This will be her 3rd or 4th cruise.
Girl the last time we went on the Liberty they were fighting in the club and I was so shocked, really could not believe my eyes. But I want let it stop us I look at it this way alot be people that are cruising now have never cruised before let alone left there home state and just dont know any better which is sad.
I have heard great things abt this Port... also... everyone has a diff experience and travel diff, with different ideas as well... The liberty is one of the oldest ships and also short days, brings what you might experience as well... I have been on Liberty once and will be back on in Dec because family wanted a fam trip and majority never cruised b4... But never take the first price they tell you; you bargain with them always... im confused on this... yall had great quality time together for sure!! Good luck next time
My friend recently went on a Carnival cruise and he said the same thing, he won’t go back, He did Norwegian in Nov 2021 and enjoyed it. I’ve only cruised with Royal Caribbean and have never had an issue.
Thank you for your blog. Great information and heads up. I leave in March for this same cruise. I’d planned to rent a golf cart at the 60 rate but def will not do it since they raised the price. I may check out BNB as one of your commenters mentioned. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
I'm so glad that I found your channel. I almost booked Liberty for myself, my cousin, and my best friend. But thank you for this divine intervention because it's looking like a big no for me.
We sailed in August and went to Resort World and had a BLAST. The Beach, Pool party, drinks & food was great and not expensive. Overall it's still not one of their best ports.
Lol love your personality lol. Beautiful daughter and cute swimsuit. That heart on the bed was funny though lol. And you're brave because Frog legs I can't do lol.
Lol when y’all met up with y’all best friends and was walking to that little train ride, why did I think that man walking besid Imani was Dante 😂😂😂 the man with the hat on.
People seem to have come undone after the pandemic. I’ve had an awful experience on RC so I’m going to put virgin in my rotation. I’m booked on the new ship carnival celebration in December. The liberty looks good for its age.
When you said "is this a sting ray?" I literally almost choked on my drink from laughing so hard! Those people were tired of twisting and tying them towels! LOL.
I love your channel. I'm from warner robins. Me and hubby taking this cruise ship in October. Our first cruise. I can feel the ghettoness already, but we will make the best of it.
Thanks! Small world! My husband is stationed out there & we lived out there for a few yrs. We didn’t totally ‘hate’ the ship or our experience but it wasn’t our best! I think it’s not bad for a first time. Just remember there’s a ton of other larger & better ones to try after this. My husband & I leave on Friday to cruise on MSC Seashore. 💜
I can't believe that many videos I've seen a bimin it was looking very nice that's ridiculous you should have never got off the ship it's not worth the time and effort to even get off love the video good tip of advice 😃🔥
I was looking forward to Bimini, hence the reason we got off. Heck, it’s the reason we booked a cruise to Bimini! We watched multiple vlogs that said it was nice. My opinion.. I don’t agree. 🤷🏽♀️😂
You mention you can afford it. Be generous when you are on smaller Islands. They dont raise the price for you. The cruise ships and RW subsidize prices and take revenue from Island locals. These family Islands get 1 maybe 2 ships a week with supplies. They struggle to maintain normal supplies. When you make a visit to Bimini or other Family Islands in the Bahamas expect them to be uncomplicated and rustic If you prefer shopping etc. make sure your ports of call offer. Please don't be upset with Bimini. The Port and resort do little to support locals. Many of the workera come from other Islands. The entire population of North and South Bimini is about a third less than the number of people on your ship. I will take a guess that you have never been to such a remote authentic place. Spend your money that you say you have with Locals and know you are helping them survive. Large commercial ports are not the Island life experience. I don't know what you do for a living but I bet you are overpaid and earn 4-5 times or more these local Islanders do. Try Sint Maarten and St Barts. If you want shopping. Better yet. Just stay in Miami.
All I heard was you complain about everything! Why because you didnt want to pay SMH. When I saw your room on the boat I instantly knew why SMH..Been to Bimini and the Resorts World Beach Club is worth it as is Radio Beach with the $40 rental of chairs. And Sherry;s food was good and plentiful. Have never heard anyone complain so much- dreadful
I’m entitled to my opinion! The moment someone doesn’t agree to pay extremely high prices, yall start ASSUMING someone wants something for free or can’t afford it.
That's not true every Cruise line has that problem people like to smoke marijuana whether they're at home or on vacation especially if they have a balcony and I don't think a bigger ship will make a difference me personally marijuana smoke does not bother me and I mind my business they paid for the room they should be able to do what they want I understand your safety concerns but if people are responsible like putting their ashes and cigarette butts in a bottle of water then I don't see the fire hazard marijuana is almost legal in every state even though these boats aren't assigned to the United States I think it's about time they change their policy if you can smoke cigarettes why can't you smoke marijuana
Because it’s illegal and against their policies. You’re allowed to your opinion, as I’m allowed to mine. If smoking cigarettes OR marijuana is prohibited in the room & balconies, their clearly must be a reason….SAFETY! 🤦🏽♀️
"Can we afford it? Yes" but like you said it's not the point and I totally agree! They would be surprised how many ppl would come back every single time if prices, treatment and customer service was decent at the very least. I'm disappointed because I've heard so many good things in the past few years about Bimini
I think some ppl who vlog are afraid to give honest reviews because they are in hopes of getting free trips when they say only positive things. Not saying everyone is like that but some. However, I’m going to be 100% honest. Bimini was probably the worst port I’ve ever been to.
@@neshayouwentwhere9934 I have to say I can how that would make sense! But the truth remains all money ain't good money so there's that but I appreciate an honest review. Like don't lie just for a video lol
Americans always think everything in other peoples country is expensive. Everything in the US is expensive so what makes you think other places are not the same. Inflation is happening all over the world. People in the islands have to live too.
I wouldn’t be caught dead on any carnival cruise line. I’ve always thought it was below standard and you confirmed it. Enjoy yourselves even tho it’s not what you expected.
@@neshayouwentwhere9934 I started cruising Carnival 30 years ago and yes it changed dramatically. I'm sorry that you didn't have good experience, going on the bigger Carnival ships are not going to make a difference, you have to change your destinations and time period.
I see with Carnival you get what you pay for I would never take them between the people that cut up on there, the food, and the rusty ships it's not it and most of there ports are not it.
😂😂😂 you had me and my mama cracking up we leave tomorrow morning on carnival liberty cruise 🎉line 😂😂😂 oh booyyyy

Thank you for answering my question about the time to be back at the ship. I thought a full day like 6 pm. Guesw not.
Question.... what time do you have to be back at the ship? And, do you need to take your password so you can get back on the ship?

Did y’all go on a Sunday?
Unfortunately yes
@@neshayouwentwhere9934 we are going in January but they got us porting out on Sunday….smh I just don’t understand that
Bimini must do's are the shark reef snorkeling and sopano shipwreck snorkeling
I’ve done one carnival cruise. Never again.
We love celebrity
We rented a golf cart one dude said $100 another dude said $80 so we got it. Then we went to the free beach at the end of the beach and snorkeled I brought gear from Amazon that I bought.

We’re there a lot of Taxis at the straw market?
Yes. It’s really easy to get a taxi (more like an Uber) to and from the market.
I'm sad...I just booked🥴
It's the Bahamas 😂😂😂

Prices with them are now $90-$120
Woooowww!!!! $90-120?!!!
Never been to Bimini.
They leave a heart on your last day to say they miss you and loved you staying with them

Your review is making me nervous. I am booked for February 2023. Fingers crossed that things will be a little better. I was last on Liberty in 2018
How was it?
$40 for a chair ?
Girl the last time we went on the Liberty they were fighting in the club and I was so shocked, really could not believe my eyes. But I want let it stop us I look at it this way alot be people that are cruising now have never cruised before let alone left there home state and just dont know any better which is sad.

I like Royal and have heard nothing but good things about NCL! I plan to try them soon.
If you had waited a little bit they will drop the price for the golf carts. They always barter
I agree with you 100% they are not ready for the cruise ship passengers. I was not impressed with Bimini at all.
Right!! I was expecting so much more because I watched other ppl’s vlogs before going & they made it seem like it was great! 😂💜

@@neshayouwentwhere9934 I'll probably be on vacation but I hope our paths cross again.
I'll keep it here ❤️❤️❤️
We have 2 more MSC cruises planned for next yr so who knows? Either way, it was very nice to meet you! 💜
We sailed in August and went to Resort World and had a BLAST. The Beach, Pool party, drinks & food was great and not expensive. Overall it's still not one of their best ports.
I wouldn’t have paid that either. I would sit on the sand before paying $40 to sit on a chair.
Exactly!!! 😂
Lol love your personality lol. Beautiful daughter and cute swimsuit. That heart on the bed was funny though lol. And you're brave because Frog legs I can't do lol.
Thank you so much 🤗
It sounds like you didn’t plan well or do any research for this excursion.
Why didn’t you just sit on a towel in the sand? The water was beautiful.
Lol when y’all met up with y’all best friends and was walking to that little train ride, why did I think that man walking besid Imani was Dante 😂😂😂 the man with the hat on.
Lmbo!!!! He will be in the next vlogs on MSC though! 😜

I’ve heard such great things about Virgin and can’t wait to try it!
We were thinking about doing this one too. Thank you for uploading this
That’s so cool
You just got to hustle the hustler and show them the cash and tell them a lower price. They will take it !
When you said "is this a sting ray?" I literally almost choked on my drink from laughing so hard! Those people were tired of twisting and tying them towels! LOL.
THANK YOU FOR THE JOURNEY. BIMINI LOOKS BEAUTIFUL...
Thank you! Only the area where Resort World is, which is very small unfortunately.
