Freeport Day Excursion-Grand Celebration Cruise
In a past post, I mentioned how I liked to go to the Grand Lucayan Beach Day Excursion when aboard the Bahamas Paradise Grand Celebration cruise. Sadly, in October a hurricane hit the area and the Grand Lucayan was temporarily closed. When I last went on the Grand Celebration cruise, I had no plans for my day as a result of the closure. Luckily, we met Queenie.
For $14 she drove us round trip to a beach club at Taino Beach named Outriggers. We were charged $3 admission by the manager, Marcel, who proved to be great for conversation. This turned out to be quite the deal. The beach club had full bar ($4 for a Heineken), toilets, a shower, and chairs for an extra charge. In addition, there is a food shack that served amazing chicken, fish, conch salad and ribs. I paid $10 for an order of ribs.

Luckily, you were allowed off the cruise ship. I have read in recent reviews that passengers were not allowed off. spent the whole 10 hours stuck on the ship and returned to FL
I’ve never heard of that happening. Could that be weather related? I can’t imagine that happening since they make a lot of money off the excursions.
How do you obtain your boarding passes if you do not go to the welcome center? You don’t actually sit through the presentation? That’s the only part I am confused on.
I’ve never needed a boarding pass. My name has always been on the manifest and I just go to the port and check in like any cruise.

I’ve been to Outrigger’s a few times and I loved it! Thanks for Queenie info, will be contacting her on our cruise!
Make sure it’s open. In September I learned that it was destroyed in a hurricane and being rebuilt. If it’s still closed check out Pirates Cove. I have a post on it as well.
