Virgin Voyages Bimini Review What the Private Island Is Really Like #virginvoyages #cruisereview
In this video we take you along as we arrive at Virgin Voyages’ private beach club in Bimini. You’ll see what docking looks like, how early the island opens up, and what the morning atmosphere feels like before the crowds arrive. We walk through the ship, explain the exit process, and show how the tram system works once you’re on the island.
We break down the beach club layout including beach seating, pool areas, cabanas, restrooms, lockers, showers, and activity spaces. We also talk through whether you actually need to rush off the ship to get chairs, how seating availability changes throughout the morning, and which areas make the most sense depending on how you want to spend your day.
Later in the video we cover practical details like towel policies, using your bracelet instead of key cards, Wi Fi reliability, drink packages on the island, and what you need or don’t need to bring with you. We finish with an honest food review from the beach club and a comparison to other cruise private island experiences so you can decide if Bimini fits your travel style.
