I'm thrilled that we got our passes for $37 each so that is a great price point. Somehow, I doubt that low price point will stay that way if this location stays popular. Better to get to experience it now! I have a feeling in the very near future this will be a $99 a person venue. Very excited to see they serve Sands Bahamian lager!!!

Hideaway is already $80 on my sailing. Eighty dollars! It's honestly egregious and I'm still annoyed this isn't an included area. I know it's trite to complain about Royal charging for things or raising prices, but the only reason they do is because people PAY IT. Y'all, if you want the prices to go down, you've GOT to stop paying for these things for a while. I am not willing to pay $80 or even $50 to go in the area. I would probably pay $30-35, but I still wouldn't be happy about it. Only plus is hopefully those who do pay will stay there and free up the rest of the island to be less crowded. Obviously, Matt, love the video and it's wonderfully shot and narrated. No hate on you :)

The swim up area was very busy. We did not arrive early, so no chairs were available around the pool. We ended up sitting down by the actual beach. There was a waitress that did a great job of keeping us hydrated. We were close enough to still hear the music, so that was a plus. The food was good, taking advantage of the chicken Parmesan sandwich, that’s not on the menu. I don’t know if the area is worth the hype, but it was nice having an adult only area .

I was there in mid Feb. There are some things no one talks about, until you experience it first hand. - There are no peaceful quiet spots. You cannot get away from the DJ music. There are speakers hidden everywhere pumping the music out, and not just by the pool. It was ok while at the pool and swim up bar, but I also wanted to relax on my chair by the beach with my own music. No noise canceling ear earphones can overcome that constant background thump thump thump of the DJ tunes. After a short time, I was ready to leave hideaway for the ship or find a quieter place on the island. - It's an over 40 crowd. There's no children allowed. So there's almost nobody there under the age of 40. The 18-25 single and childless probably have different priorities and are spending their time and money elsewhere. Those between 25 and 40 probably have kids with them, and will be elsewhere on the island with their family.

All the seating at hideaway hut is on sand which is not comfortable to eat. Food was fine but as a walk up counter there’s no way to carry everything you get unlike the buffets with plates. Also the wind was extremely bad and they told everyone to go back to the ship about an hour after I got on the island.
