Inside the $900 million ‘pleasure zone’ created just for cruise passengers

Lagoon -like pool, the largest pool I’ve ever looked at curls like a large glowing ribbon. At the Searing tropical temperature, it is difficult to resist this vibrant turquoise vision and it doesn’t take long for me to swim in hot waters as a soporific.

But my Reverie, drilling, drums throwing and cow horns were shattered by cacophony, which could only mean anything: the color and chaos of a Junkanoo Carnival Pass Ceremony turned into life throughout the streets of the newest facility in Bahamas.

The celebration key is about three years of $ 600 million (A900 million dollars), the pleasure zone, just 30 kilometers away from the capital FreePort Grand Bahama Island coast, 26 hectares of shrub and a special facility.

Built by All-American Carnival Cruise Line only for their ships, this is the last of the long seclusion line created especially for cruise passengers, and the third for Carnival, which is already stored in Honduras, and Honduras.

Most cruise facilities are located in the Bahamas, which lend the 700 islands themselves to such private paradises, while others appear in the Caribbean, Mexico and the South Pacific.

The celebration key opened in July may be the last addition, but it will not be the last one. Cruise companies are traveling more and more as an extremely forward -looking way, where even their extreme ships can approach without provoking excessive complaints.

In addition, the guest provides completely control over the type of product and experience they offer, and most importantly, everything that visitors spend in the facility allows them to enter their own chests.

Cruise customers can look forward to a carefully curator’s standing in a protected environment. However, it also means that they cannot really win the real flavor of the country they visit.

On the last day of our seven -night Caribbean journey, there was an expectation of a look at the celebration key on our ship, which was standing there, with a suitable carnival celebration.

We were the 11th ship to call at the facility, and our passage gave a perfect perspective to its five regions.

Initially, not everyone was affected: ım I thought Suncastle would be greater;

However, as soon as you take the dock, the guests are ashore from the sun -shaped belt to the Central Paradise Plaza for a compulsory photo before entering the Bahamia rhythm, which welcomes a live group.

With 6300 guests from our ship, I wonder how this new facility will cope, but everything feels remarkable – but I suspect that there is a different story when the two ships call at the same time. The celebration Key has already notched more than 9000 visitors in one day and waited at least 11,000 a few days after our visit.

With its plans to add another placement pier that will allow four ships to visit at the same time until the next summer, the celebration key will be strongly busy, although the plans to expand with a water park’s speech.

Everyone is scattered in their own favorite points. For families, I am going for a calm adult Calypso lagoon with child friendly identity information, and I stop looking at a jealous look at the Pearl Cove Beach Club, where guests who will be able to pay from A120 $ A120 can extend on the laser.

I take a look at the jewels carved from shells from straw bags and souvenirs in the Lokono Cove shopping area. I am sure that when I hear customers doubt it, prices are not higher than the city’s main city of Freeport.

However, the main lottery of this facility is that according to the carnival, the largest or white sand necklace in this corner of the tropics is the fascinating aquamarin of the sea and the fascinating aquamarin of the sea, the fresh water lagoon pool of the sea is water.

I rent a boat to pull a shovel along the coastline, just miss the smell of stinging in shallow moments before. There are also shovel boards for rental, but there are snorkel swimming equipment, but most people only seem to be content to return to the mass of the sunbeds free of charge on the basis of the first service.

Anyone who wants to guarantee a primary point and inject a little luxury can destroy excessive lagoon cabins. However, you will need deep pockets, because a beach in Pearl Cove will cost A230 from A230 to a $ A4000 surveillance cost (Advantages, beverages, your own consensus and unlimited rides on water slides).

At about A30, I swim around a swollen chair in a swollen chair before pulling up in the swimming bar, which is the most popular point where cocktails and DJs continue to flow the party atmosphere.

Some Revelers do not seem to move all day, but I decide to explore the free tram shuttle on the facility and hunt some of the 36 drinking and eating stops: dining halls and full service restaurants, plus Bahamia food trucks and snacks that serve everything from Burgers to Tacos.
