Pirate Tales
Going overboard on a cruise is a rare occurrence, according to experts. Between 2009 and 2019, 212 overboard incidents were reported worldwide. The family of Robbins flew out to the Bahamas on Thursday, WAFB reported. Cameron Robbins, 18, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was staying at the Atlantis Paradise resort in Nassau with other teenagers to celebrate their recent high school graduation, WBRZ reported.
Evening Voyages
Royal Caribbean offers lots of affordable cruises to The Bahamas from New Orleans. Most include either a stop at fun-loving Nassau, or its more laid-back sister port, Grand Bahama Island. Both are home to stunning beaches, an abundance of family-friendly activities, great food, and incredible snorkeling. Honeymooners usually opt for Grand Bahama’s more secluded shores, while those in search of lively beach bars head straight for Nassau’s much-loved Junkanoo Beach and Cable Beach. No matter which of the two is on your New Orleans cruise itinerary, you can look forward to blue skies, plenty of sunshine, and an unforgettable day. "The kids get really fired up on this daytime voyage," said John Clarke, the GM of Blackbeard’s Revenge.
Just like the tour name suggests, this is a romantic sunset cruise. During the golden hour, the sun touches everything with a magical glow. Imagine going on this relaxing sail along Nassau Harbour, taking in the surrounding views, and capturing a Bahamas sunset while sipping on a complimentary glass of wine.

If you prefer to spend your day in the water, dive Belize’s Barrier Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world. Or hit the trails on an outdoor adventure through the nearby rainforests.

Our stunning pirate ship boasts of an all-pirate crew, 3 decks, 2 fully stocked bars, and a VIP air-conditioned Captain’s Lounge. As far as tropical destinations go, Cozumel has it all. Its white sand beaches are legendary, and its extensive network of coral reefs draws visitors from around the world.

"We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends," Beal said in a statement. A recent high school graduate from Louisiana is missing after going overboard while on a trip to the Bahamas, school officials and the United States Coast Guard said. BahamasLocal.com is a user-friendly search engine with exclusive listings on businesses and community organizations in The Bahamas. It is the most powerful Internet-based resource in and for the Bahamian market. "The Bahamas government has called off the rescue for Cameron and we are returning to Baton Rouge," the family said in a statement.
Private Events/Party Charters
Though it is a go-to getaway spot for sun seekers and beachcombers, Costa Maya still feels a world apart from the crowded beaches and non-stop party scene you’ll find at its coastal counterpart, Cancun. Belize City teems with history, culture, and all kinds of great outdoor activities. Onshore, you’ll find charming colonial houses and some of the best global cuisine in the region. And if you venture off the beaten path, there are plenty of natural wonders waiting to be discovered. This tiny Central American country was once the center of the Maya empire, and you can still visit the ruins of ancient Maya cities and temples on guided tours.

Exchange vows while we set sail along Nassau Harbour amidst a beautiful sunset view. The Coast Guard provided air assistance in the search and rescue mission, which was being led by the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, according to Petty Officer 3rd Class Ryan Estrada. Blackbeard's revenge is Nassau's latest Pirate Adventure.
"We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends," Spado added. The boat stayed in the area that night for hours after the incident as people looked for Robbins. The ship was near Athol Island an uninhabited island located northeast of Nassau, according to WBRZ.
Videos show Robbins jumping from the boat and swimming with a life preserver nearby. Come aboard Blackbeard’s Revenge and make it a legendary celebration as you journey through the history-laden waters of Nassau. Spice up your event with our great entertainment on board including fun foam machine, dazzling lights, rhythmic beats, live singers and performers, fire and limbo dancers, plus so much more.
Features a new revolutionary 140 foot 18th century Pirate Ship that has a full themed cast of actors on-board which allows guests to participate in our acts of mutiny as we relive the REVOLTS & PLUNDER of Piracy. A narrator also explains a bit of Bahamian history as we cruise through Nassau Harbour. The main deck, decorated with gunpowder barrels and cannons, is the center of swashbuckling activities. Right above it is a small open space equipped with a DJ's Booth for party cruises. Towards the aft is a mini museum/souvenir shop and restrooms.
He explained that they offer this family fun adventure via an exclusive port excursion for select cruises like Disney. The best part is that cruise passengers don’t ever need to leave the Nassau cruise port. So they remain in their “safe bubble” when they select this tour. The Port of New Orleans has been making waves as a hot departure point for affordable cruise vacations to the Caribbean. We’re talking destinations like Cozumel, Roatan, Belize City, Key West, Nassau, and Costa Maya — not to mention the top-rated Royal Caribbean private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas. The largest of Honduras’s Bay Islands, Roatan is a true tropical paradise teeming with natural beauty.
I've never done it, but that excursion has received a bit of unwanted attention fairly recently. This is the ship where the kid jumped overboard and was eaten by sharks. Everyone gets a free drink (fruit punch for kids and rum punch for the adults). Bottled water and other beverages like beer and wine for adults are also available for purchase. For its tours, Blackbeard's Revenge makes an eastbound sail from the Nassau Cruise Port, passing by points of attraction along Nassau Harbour and Paradise Island before circling back. Important landmarks include Junkanoo Beach, The Pointe and Margaritaville Beach Resort, the former British Colonial Hilton, Fort Montagu, and of course, the massive Atlantis Resort.
(Yes, they have restrooms!) Directly above it is an air-conditioned VIP Captain's Lounge where you'll feel like you've entered Blackbeard's saloon. Moving up to the 3rd deck is yet another sizable gathering spot, complete with a figure of Blackbeard and an imitation ship's wheel. For the young or the young-at-heart, our jolly ol’ pirate-themed birthday party makes for an exciting bash!
