Why Your Cruise Ship Doesn't Want You Reading This
STOP. Before you book that expensive cruise ship excursion to Rose Island, you need to know what 3,000 other passengers on your ship don't: There's a Nassau local who gives you his personal WhatsApp number BEFORE you pay anything.
While Shore Excursions Group runs overbooked 50-person tours and leaves families stranded at docks, Captain Major takes just 12 guests per Rose Island day trip and responds to texts in under 1 hour.
WhatsApp Captain Major: +1 (242) 467-0502
Here's what your cruise line doesn't want you to discover...
The Rose Island Experience Most Cruise Passengers Never Get
You're about to discover why savvy cruise passengers call their Rose Island day trip "the highlight of our entire vacation." Not the ship's overpriced excursions. Not the crowded Paradise Island. This.
Rose Island isn't just another Bahamas destination; it's where you'll swim with wild pigs in crystal-clear waters, snorkel among sea turtles at Green Cay, and relax on pristine beaches that most tourists never see. But here's what separates a magical day from a tourist trap disaster: who takes you there.
While your cruise ship docks with 3,000 passengers fighting for the same generic tours, a select few discover Captain Major's private WhatsApp number. They WhatsApp him directly. No middlemen. No "Shore Excursions Group" headaches. No showing up to empty docks.
In this complete guide, you'll discover:
- Why texting Captain Major beats booking through cruise excursions (saves $400+ per family)
- The exact Rose Island itinerary that creates those "Instagram-perfect" moments
- How to secure your spot before your ship even docks in Nassau
- The insider stops that 99% of cruise passengers miss

The $800+ Cruise Excursion Trap (And Why 92% of Passengers Fall for It)
Picture this: You're standing at a dock in Nassau with your family, holding tickets for a Rose Island excursion you paid $800+ per person for. The tour guide never shows up. You wait an hour. Your kids are asking when the pigs are coming. Other families are getting frustrated. Your precious vacation day is disappearing.
This isn't a nightmare scenario; it's happening to cruise passengers every single week.
"We arrived at the location printed on the ticket to meet the tour guide well in advance," writes one frustrated family. "No one ever showed up. We waited with 2 other families that had booked this same tour for over an hour, but NO ONE EVER CAME."
But the real crime isn't just the no-shows. It's what happens when the tours DO run:
The Overcrowding Nightmare: Shore Excursions Group packs 50+ strangers onto cattle boats. You're fighting for photo spots. Kids are crying. The "swimming with pigs" becomes "watching pigs from a distance while 49 other people elbow past you."
The Middleman Markup: You're paying cruise ship prices for local tours. That expensive family excursion? A Nassau local charges 80% less for the exact same experience, but with only 12 people, personal attention, and guaranteed departure.
The Communication Black Hole: Try texting the Shore Excursions Group when your tour is running late. Good luck. They don't answer. They don't care. You're just booking number #47,382.
Meanwhile, while you're getting herded like cattle and paying tourist trap prices, a select group of cruise passengers are texting a The Bahamas captain directly. They're getting personal updates. They're swimming with pigs in crystal-clear water with space to actually enjoy it. They're saving hundreds of dollars.
The question is, which group do you want to be in?
Section 4: Meet Captain Major: The Nassau Local Who Gives You His Phone Number
Every hero's journey begins with meeting a mentor. In The Bahamas , that mentor is Captain Arool Major, though everyone just calls him Captain Major.
Born and raised in the Bahamas, Captain Major has been navigating these waters since he was old enough to hold a fishing rod. While mega-cruise corporations were building tourist traps, he was discovering hidden coves where sea turtles nest and learning which beaches the locals keep to themselves.
But here's what makes Captain Major different from every other tour operator in The Bahamas:
He gives you his personal WhatsApp number before you pay anything.
Think about that for a moment. When was the last time ANY business gave you the owner's direct contact information upfront? Not a customer service line. Not a booking agent. The actual captain who'll be taking you to Rose Island.
"I was shocked when Captain Major sent me his WhatsApp number in the first message," says Sarah from Royal Caribbean. "I could WhatsApp him about the weather, ask questions about what to bring, and even get updates about sea conditions. Try doing THAT with Shore Excursions Group."
This is what we call the Captain Direct™ guarantee:
- WhatsApp Captain Major personally: +1 (242) 467-0502
- Get responses in under 10 minutes (guaranteed)
- Direct communication from booking to beach time
- No middlemen, no confusion, no surprises
While other operators hide behind corporate websites and call centers, Captain Major built his reputation one family at a time. Every single Rose Island day trip is personally captained by him. Every guest gets his direct attention. Every experience is crafted with the care of someone who loves these waters and wants you to love them too.
The transformation begins the moment you send that first text. You're not just booking a tour, you're connecting with a Nassau local who treats your vacation like it matters. Because to Captain Major, it does.

Section 5: What Makes a Perfect Rose Island Day Trip

How to Book Your Rose Island Adventure (The Right Way)
"But wait... what if something goes wrong?"
If you're thinking this sounds too good to be true, you're not alone. Most cruise passengers have been burned by tour operators who don't show up, overbook, or leave them stranded. That's exactly why Captain Major does things differently.

"What if we miss our ship?" Captain Major has been running cruise passenger tours for over a decade. He knows every ship schedule by heart and guarantees you'll be back with time to spare. Unlike Shore Excursions Group, he tracks your ship's departure time and builds buffer time into every itinerary.
"What if the weather is bad?" The Bahamas weather changes quickly, but Captain Major monitors conditions constantly. If conditions aren't safe for your planned activities, he'll offer alternatives or reschedule at no charge. You get his personal WhatsApp updates, not radio silence from a call center.
"How do I know this is legitimate?" Here's something no other tour operator in The Bahamas will do: Contact Captain Major right now via WhatsApp at +1 (242) 467-0502 and ask him any question. You'll get a real response from real people. Try that with any cruise ship excursion company.
"What if I need to cancel?" Life happens. Flight delays, illness, weather. Captain Major understands this because he's a real person, not a corporate booking system. Flexible cancellation policies that actually make sense.

Why Cruise Passengers Choose Captain Major Over Ship Excursions
The numbers tell the story: 97% of our customers are cruise passengers who specifically chose us over their ship's excursions.
Here's what they discovered:
"We almost booked the cruise ship's Rose Island tour for our family of four," shares David from Royal Caribbean. "It was going to cost us significantly more than Captain Major's tour, and they were packing 45 people onto one boat. With 700 Islands, we had just 8 other passengers, personal attention from Captain Major, and saved hundreds of dollars. Best decision of our cruise."
The Real Difference:
Cruise Ship Excursions: Cattle boats with 40-50 passengers. Rushed schedules. Generic experiences. Higher prices. No personal contact with operators.
700 Islands Adventure Tours: Maximum 12 guests. Flexible timing. Customized experiences. Better value. Direct WhatsApp communication with Captain Major's team.
"I've been on 12 cruises and always stuck with ship excursions," admits Carol from Celebrity Cruises. "I wish I'd found 700 Islands years ago. The personal service, smaller groups, and attention to detail made this our best shore excursion ever. Captain Major even remembered our kids' names throughout the entire day."
Why Cruise Passengers Make the Switch:
- Guaranteed Return: Captain Major tracks every ship's departure time personally
- Weather Backup Plans: Flexible alternatives when conditions change
- Real Customer Service: WhatsApp support before, during, and after your trip
- Local Insights: Stories and knowledge you won't get from cruise employees
- Better Value: More personalized experience for less money
Once you experience the 700 Islands difference, you'll never book a cruise ship excursion again.
