A temporary alcohol ban will roll out at a Caribbean destination next week \u2014 leaving cruise passengers high and dry on shore.<\/p>\n

The Bahamas<\/a> will suspend alcohol sales as the country holds elections on Tuesday, May 12.<\/p>\n

A government notice obtained by Fox News Digital says the ban will take place that day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

The Parliamentary Commissioner is suspending sales of “intoxicating liquor”<\/a> while polls remain open during that time.<\/p>\n

“Any person selling or exposing or offering for sale any intoxicating liquor during such hours shall be deemed to be so doing while not holding a license under the provisions of the Business License Act,” the notice warns.<\/p>\n

The restriction covers all Bahamian islands, including private islands<\/a> operated by cruise companies.<\/p>\n

Cruise giant Royal Caribbean<\/a> confirmed to People magazine that the ban applies to its private island, CocoCay.<\/p>\n

Two Royal Caribbean ships, Oasis of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas, will be visiting CocoCay during that time.<\/p>\n

Alcohol will continue to be sold aboard ships while the ban is in place on shore, a Royal Caribbean official said. But guests on cruise ships visiting Bahamian ports May 12 cannot purchase alcohol ashore.<\/p>\n

“Royal Caribbean is respecting and complying with all local laws and regulations, as we do with every destination we visit,” a company spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

One outraged customer vented on X, writing that she would be in the Bahamas on a special trip<\/a> with her husband and felt that she learned about the restrictions too late.<\/p>\n

“We scheduled a trip with stops in the Bahamas for our 40th anniversary,” the woman wrote. “We are going with 26 of our friends. Planned activities at CocoCay and Nassau.”<\/p>\n

The X user continued, “The general election has banned all alcohol for the two days we are there. And we find out only two days before we leave? Not a way to treat customers who cruise four times a year.”<\/p>\n

The woman added that she “would have picked a different itinerary to celebrate with our friends” if she had known about the ban earlier.<\/p>\n

A traveler in the Facebook group Royal Caribbean Cruise Tips & Updates 2026 recounted, “This just happened to us on April 30th, and it really sucked the life out of our day visit to Royal Beach Club Paradise Island.”<\/p>\n

“The bartenders and waitstaff were standing around bummed also, and it was painful all around<\/a>,” the traveler added.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Royal Caribbean for further comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
