Travel Tips
1
To get from the Tampa cruise port to most attractions in the city, you’ll need to rent a car or use a ridesharing service. There are a handful of car rental agencies located close to the port. You can also take the TECO Line Streetcar around downtown Tampa and Y-Bor. There’s a stop nearby where cruises from Tampa depart. For a fun way to see the city, try a water taxi, which will take you to various stops along the water.
2
International Plaza is an upscale shopping destination with both brand-name and luxury stores, plus a number of world-class restaurants, located about 20 minutes away from the port. For upscale boutiques in a picturesque setting, head to Hyde Park Village, just 10 minutes from the port.
3
Tampa, along with the rest of the United States, uses the U.S. Dollar. You’ll find ATMs throughout the city’s most-visited destinations and neighborhoods. Credit cards are widely accepted, though it’s always wise to have some cash on hand. At restaurants and bars, a 15% to 20% tip is suggested.

Day at Sea Highlights

Bimini, Bahamas 

A small Bahamian island with a mysterious past once recognized as the location of the Lost City of Atlantis and legendary Fountain of Youth. Today, a hidden gem known for miles of pristine beaches, plenty of water activities, and year-round sport fishing.
Travel Tips
1
Transportation is not a problem on the seven-mile-long North Island. One of the most popular ways to get around is by golf cart or bicycle, which are available to rent. Be aware that driving is on the left side of the road here. If you want to travel between the North and the South Island, you can simply take the daily ferry. Taxis are also plentiful.
2
On the North Island, King’s Highway is the easiest place to find shops for souvenirs or something to eat. There’s also a small market just south of the cruise pier. Find a stall run by a local craftsperson at the Craft Centre in Alice Town for handcrafted mementos made by a local.
3
The official currency of The Bahamas is the Bahamian dollar ($BSD). U.S. currency is also accepted. Most shops and restaurants accept debit cards or credit cards, but it’s always a good idea to have some cash on hand.

Nassau, Bahamas 

Bustling markets and tranquil beaches define the vibrant spirit of Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas. Just three blocks from the port, the Nassau Straw Market brims with vendors, shoppers, and pirates, offering authentic local crafts. Minutes away, expansive white-sand beaches with turquoise waters and coral reefs beckon, perfect spots for observing sharks, swimming with dolphins, or enjoying water slides for the young and young at heart.

A short ferry ride takes you to Paradise Island, home to the legendary Atlantis Resort. Here, you can explore the mythical streets at Ruins Lagoon, walk through underwater shark tunnels at Predator Lagoon, or make a personal connection with gentle dolphins at Dolphin Cay, an accredited marine habitat featuring an 11-acre lagoon, sandy beaches, and interactive experiences.

Starting December 2025, elevate your Nassau visit at the new Royal Beach Club℠ Paradise Island by Royal Caribbean. Spend the day at this exclusive, all-inclusive retreat with private cabanas, swim-up bars, and mouthwatering cuisine. Beach day is redefined with some of the best food, cocktails, beaches, and pools in The Bahamas.

For a relaxing island escape, hop to Blue Lagoon Island for sunbathing and dolphin encounters. Or browse Nassau’s duty-free shops and Straw Market on Bay Street, where artisans craft traditional straw hats and artwork using centuries-old techniques. Savor Nassau’s fresh seafood, including fried snapper and grouper, conch dishes, and more. Round out your experience with rum-based beverages to enjoy an authentic Bahamian adventure.

Travel Tips
1
There are plenty of ways to get around Nassau. Taxis are plentiful, while car rental is available, although you’d need to get used to driving on the left. Scooters and ATVs are also available. Water taxis and ferries ply the waters between Nassau and Paradise Island, a journey of around 10 minutes. Local buses are called jitneys and are an affordable way to get around; wave at the jitney to stop it and pay on exit. You’ll need some small change in Bahamian dollars for this.
2
There are craft and souvenir vendors at the cruise terminal, and for more retail therapy, downtown Nassau is just a 10- to 15-minute walk from the port. The famous Nassau Straw Market is ideal for haggling for conch jewelry and handwoven straw bags. For more upscale shopping, Bay Street has high-end fashion and duty-free goods. There are multiple retail possibilities at Atlantis on Paradise Island, too; Crystal Court is where you’ll find big-name international designers—think of it as the Rodeo Drive of the Bahamas.
3
The currency of the Bahamas is the Bahamian dollar (BSD). It’s pegged to the U.S. Dollar at 1:1, so the two are interchangeable, and your U.S. currency will be accepted here. You may, however, be given change in Bahamian dollars. Tipping in the Bahamas is similar to the United States. Restaurants tend to include a service charge of up to 15%, but an additional cash gratuity is always welcome. Don’t forget to leave a tip for taxi drivers, at least 15% of the fare. Haggling isn’t common, but you can bargain at the local straw markets.

Beach days hit next level at the first of its kind Royal Beach Club℠ Paradise. Here, exclusive meets all-inclusive. From your first water taxi ride to your last drink at the swim up bar, each mouthwatering bite and everything in between, it's all complimentary with your All-Inclusive Day Pass.

Day at Sea Highlights

Cozumel, Mexico 

Amid the largest coral reef in the West, this Caribbean island lures anglers, divers, snorkelers, and beachgoers. Fish the flats or head out to blue water to hunt for big game—mahi-mahi, marlin, sailfish, and more. Bring your dive card with you on your cruise to Cozumel and witness all the natural wonders waiting below the surface, like neon tropical fish, swaying sea fans, and vibrant coral colonies. Or, go snorkeling to see the show without a dive card. Curl up on the beach in a hammock with a cold one. At Playa Mia, you can even fly down Twin Twister waterslides.

Go cruise shopping for beautiful Mexican silver, amber, and other artisanal gifts in San Miguel. Or, hop a ferry to charming Playa del Carmen, on the mainland, and stroll along la Quinta Avenida for more inviting restaurants, bars, and shops. Down the coast from Playa, you can explore the ancient Maya city of Tulum, perched impressively on a cliff, overlooking the brilliant sea and powdery beach below. Cozumel cuisine means fresh seafood. Savor the catch of the day served on a banana leaf, or enjoy it marinated in lime juice, cilantro, onion, and tomato. Of course, this is the place for Mexican classics like tacos, guacamole—and margaritas.
Travel Tips
1
You can rent a car while in Cozumel to get to the far reaches of the island, including some of the nature excursions and harder-to-reach parks. For daredevils, a scooter or bicycle is an exciting way to navigate the island. Helmets are required. There are plenty of taxis at the cruise terminal and around the island. Taxi drivers know their value on the island, so be sure to settle on a fare before you drive off. It’s easy to explore areas surrounding the port on foot if you feel like stretching your legs during your stop in Cozumel.
2
After you disembark from the cruise ship, particularly at International Pier, you’ll find duty-free shops and souvenir shacks before you leave the terminal. The Royal Village Shopping Center is also conveniently located near International Pier, where you can purchase handmade goods, jewelry, and other items. San Miguel has plentiful shopping, just two or three miles away from International Pier. Look out for silver jewelry, handmade ceramics, colorful hammocks, beach fashions, and papier-mache ornaments.
3
Though the local currency is the peso, many stores will accept U.S. dollars (USD), so you likely won’t need to exchange money. Find ATMs near the cruise docks for all your withdrawal needs. Tipping is encouraged, particularly for bartenders, tour guides, and restaurant service. A tip of 15-20% is recommended.
