Nassau Not a Top Cruise Destination Choice
According to a Royal Caribbean customer satisfaction survey, guests revealed they find Nassau “tired” and there’s a need for more product, experience, uniqueness, and options.
Royal Caribbean International CEO Michael Bayley acknowledges that Nassau ranks in the bottom ten percent of destinations they cruise to and there is a demand for projects like the proposed Paradise Island Royal Beach Club that appeals to cruise ship visitors.
He recently proposed that stakeholders should collaborate as a team to create a master plan for Nassau, and come up with a vision for the future of the tourism sector. He also said that customer feedback is critical to the quality of services offered and the line will continue to focus on delivering excellent customer experiences.
Paradise Island Royal Beach Club is scheduled to open in 2025.
