Royal Beach Club Paradise Island — What It Costs and What's Actually Worth It
Royal Caribbean's new beach club in Nassau is demand-priced by sail date. Here is the full tier menu and what each one actually runs.
We've tracked the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island prices Royal Caribbean lists in its Cruise Planner every day since March 2026 — more than 144,000 price snapshots across 16 ships. The first thing that history shows is that the same day pass can cost you $99 or $234 depending on nothing more than your sail date.
That swing is the part a single price on the booking page can't show you. Royal Beach Club is new, it's demand-priced, and the spread between a quiet sailing and a peak one is wide enough to nearly double your bill. This guide lays out the full tier menu — every pass, day bed, and cabana — so you can budget for it without the sticker shock.
Quick Answer — What does Royal Beach Club Paradise Island cost?
TL;DR| What you book | Priced | Range we've tracked |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Alcoholic Day Pass | per person | $81–$184 (avg $111) |
| Open Bar Day Pass | per person | $99–$234 (avg $134) |
| Day Bed (Party Cove) | per unit · 2 guests | from $300 (avg $597) |
| Beach / Pool Cabana | per unit · 8–10 guests | $980–$2,500 (avg ~$1,950) |
| Ultimate Family Cabana | per unit · 12 guests | $2,500–$10,000 (avg $6,625) |
- It is not free. Entry to Royal Beach Club is a paid day pass — it is not included like a regular port stop.
- Day passes are per person; cabanas are per unit. A ~$600 day bed seats two and already includes their admission — the per-unit prices bundle entry in, they don't add to it.
- Price depends on your sail date. The same Open Bar pass runs $99 on a quiet date and $234 on a peak one.
What Royal Beach Club Paradise Island Is
It's Royal Caribbean's paid beach club in Nassau — not a free port stop.
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island sits on Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas, the same strip of land as Atlantis. When your ship docks in Nassau, the beach club is a short hop from the cruise terminal.
The thing to understand up front is that this is a paid product. A normal Nassau port day costs nothing — you walk off the ship and explore. Royal Beach Club is different. You buy a day pass through the Cruise Planner, and that pass gets you in.
It is also a separate place from CocoCay. They get mixed up constantly because both are Royal Caribbean beach destinations in the Bahamas, but they are physically distinct. We cover the island in detail in our Perfect Day at CocoCay guide — this post is only about the Nassau beach club.
The Full Price Menu
Here is every tier, and whether it's priced per person or per unit.
Here's the whole menu pulled into one place. The per-person versus per-unit distinction is the one that trips people up — a cabana price looks terrifying until you realize it covers your whole group, not each head.
| Tier | Priced | Price range | Average |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-Alcoholic Day Pass | per person | $81–$184 | $111 |
| Open Bar Day Pass | per person | $99–$234 | $134 |
| Day Bed (Party Cove) | per unit · 2 guests | from $300 | $597 |
| VIP Party Deck (Party Cove) | per unit · 12 guests | $840–$4,999 | $2,242 |
| Beach Cabana / Pool Cabana | per unit · 8–10 guests | $980–$2,500 | ~$1,950 |
| Spacious / Panoramic Cabana | per unit · 10 guests | $1,110–$3,000 | ~$2,200 |
| Ultimate Family Cabana | per unit · 12 guests | $2,500–$10,000 | $6,625 |
These ranges reflect what we've tracked daily since March 2026. The two day passes are the entry tickets, and they're the only items priced per person. Both include unlimited dining; the difference is the bar. The non-alcoholic pass covers soft drinks, and the open bar pass adds alcohol for roughly $20–$25 more per person on average.
Everything below the passes is a reserved space — and here's the part that's easy to miss: the per-unit price already includes admission for everyone it holds. A day bed runs around $600, seats two, and comes with two all-inclusive day passes, so it works out to roughly $300 a head with entry, dining, and open bar already baked in — not an add-on. The cabanas hold more — eight to twelve guests — and bundle in that many passes, so the headline number covers the whole group's admission, not just the furniture.
A note on the cheapest tier: there used to be a "Day Pass (Entry Only)" SKU that started around $60. We last saw it on June 10, on only three ships, so it looks retired. Don't budget around it — plan on the non-alcoholic pass as your real floor.
What You're Really Paying for the Reserved Space
Back out the day passes that come bundled in, and the markup for the space itself is smaller than the sticker — until you reach the very top.
Because every reserved unit includes admission — and it's the open bar pass, the ~$134 tier, not the cheaper one — the honest way to judge a cabana isn't its headline price. It's what's left after you subtract the passes you'd be buying anyway. At the average open bar pass, here's what the reserved space itself costs per person, above the included admission:
| Reserved unit | Avg price · guests | Day passes included (value) | Space premium / person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day Bed (Party Cove) | $597 · 2 | 2 (~$268) | ~$165 |
| Beach / Pool Cabana | ~$1,950 · 8 | 8 (~$1,072) | ~$110 |
| Spacious / Panoramic Cabana | ~$2,200 · 10 | 10 (~$1,340) | ~$86 |
| VIP Party Deck | $2,242 · 12 | 12 (~$1,608) | ~$53 |
| Ultimate Family Cabana | $6,625 · 12 | 12 (~$1,608) | ~$418 |
The surprise sits in the middle of the menu. Because the VIP Party Deck and the larger cabanas bundle 10 to 12 open bar passes, most of their price is admission you'd pay regardless — so the markup for the actual reserved space lands around $50 to $110 a head. The Ultimate Family Cabana is the one genuine splurge: about $418 per person over the passes, for the slide, whirlpool, private bathroom, and the rest.
This assumes everyone in your group would have bought the open bar pass anyway. If some are kids or non-drinkers who'd skip it or take the cheaper non-alcoholic pass, those bundled passes are worth less to you and the real premium climbs. And because both the unit price and the pass price move with your sail date, treat these as ballpark figures at the averages.

Why the Prices Swing So Much
The wide ranges aren't one price changing — they're different sail dates.
When you see "$99–$234" for the open bar pass, that's not a single sailing bouncing around. It's the spread across every sail date we track. A quiet Tuesday in September prices low; a holiday week or spring-break sailing prices high.
That matters for budgeting. Royal Beach Club uses the same demand pricing as the rest of the Cruise Planner — the busier your sailing, the more you pay for the exact same beach club, beach bed, and bar.
Booking the same day pass on a peak date can nearly double the cost. That's not a sale you missed. It's how the pricing works.
So the honest read is this. If your dates are flexible, the difference between a low-demand and high-demand sailing is real money. If your dates are fixed, the only lever you have is watching the price on your specific sailing and buying when it dips. Rather than refreshing the booking page yourself, you can set a price alert with All Aboard Deals Pro and let it flag the drop — so you catch the dip instead of locking in the first number you see.
What's a Fair Price to Pay?
Anchor on the averages, then judge your sailing against them.
The averages give you the gut-check. A non-alcoholic pass around $111 and an open bar pass around $134 are the middle of the road. Below those, you're doing well. Up near the top of the range, you're paying a peak-date premium.
| If your pass quote is... | What that means |
|---|---|
| Near $81–$99 (non-alc) | Low end — a genuinely good price |
| Around $111 (non-alc) | Typical — fair for most sailings |
| Near $99–$110 (open bar) | Low end for the bar tier |
| Above $200 (open bar) | Peak-date pricing — worth watching for a dip |
These thresholds come from roughly three months of tracking, so treat them as a working baseline rather than a permanent rule. As our history grows, the picture will sharpen.
The skeptical point worth holding onto: a "Royal Beach Club Paradise Island" quote means nothing on its own. One price is just a price. It only becomes a good or bad price once you can see where it sits in the range — which is exactly why a single screenshot from the booking page can't tell you whether to buy now or wait.
Day Passes vs. Cabanas — Which Tier Fits
Most people only need a pass. The reserved spaces are for groups and shade-seekers.
If it's just you or a couple, the day pass does the job. You get the beach, the pool, and the dining, and you're choosing only between the non-alcoholic and open bar tiers based on how much you'll drink.
The day beds and cabanas are a different decision — they're about a guaranteed reserved spot, shade, and space for a group. Priced per unit, they make sense when you've got enough people to split the cost or you simply want the upgrade.
We go deeper on the entry-level passes — the non-alcoholic and open bar tiers, what's included, and how to time the buy — in our forthcoming Royal Beach Club Day Pass breakdown. This guide stays at the full-menu level.
How We Track Royal Beach Club Prices
We monitor these prices daily — here's exactly what that covers.
We track Royal Beach Club Paradise Island prices every day. As of this writing that's roughly three months of history, since March 20, 2026 — more than 144,000 price snapshots across 16 ships.
One honest caveat on coverage. Our Royal Beach Club tracking rides along on sailings that also visit CocoCay, so what we're watching is Royal Beach Club pricing on CocoCay-plus-Nassau itineraries. That's a very broad slice of the fleet, but it isn't literally every Royal Beach Club sailing. As our tracking window grows, we'll update this guide.
The ranges above are drawn from that tracked history. They reflect prices set by Royal Caribbean for the Royal Caribbean brand at the Nassau beach club, and they exclude the separate Royal Beach Club Santorini pass, which is a different destination in the Mediterranean.
The whole problem with a new product like this is that you have no history to judge it against — and Royal Beach Club's prices swing by hundreds of dollars depending on your sail date. All Aboard Deals Pro tracks Cruise Planner package and day-pass prices daily and can alert you when your sailing's price drops, so you can catch a fair number before you add it to your cart.
