    Me and my wife just took a Tall Ship cruise on the Liberty Clipper that started and ended in Nassau. We are pretty adventurous when it comes to travel and always try to get away from the typical tourist areas. We came in a day early and stayed at the Marriot just across the street from Junkanoo Beach. We didn't venture too far from the harbor an downtown area but with the exception of some of the craze drivers we didn't feel unsafe. We are more into historical sites so we really enjoyed going to places like Ft Charlotte and Ft Fincastle. The Green Parrot bar and restaurant at the Bay street marina is excellent and a lot more quiet than some of the restaurants in the tourist areas. If you like small craft breweries the Rip Ty'd brewery was great. When we got off the boat at the end of our cruise we had half a day to kill before our flight and walked down to Ft Montagu and Montagu beach on the east end of the harbor. Its a bit of a hike but the beach was much less crowded

    Loved the Bahamas. Never felt unsafe. Really...everywhere you go you should be aware of your surroundings!!!! Very nice people. The Rum Factory, Chocolate tour, Distillery , Queen’s Staircase tours. I was there for 5 days. There is a lot to do besides lay on the beach and get tanned.

    I love this super informative series! Thanks for giving some of the highlights for what to do in Nassau. I especially liked the one about getting the Atlantis tickets through Comfort Suites...that's what I would do if we went to Nassau! Unfortunately none of our upcoming cruises stop there. We will be looking for this on future cruises, for sure! Thanks Sharon at Sea!! ❤️

    We simply walk to Junkanoo Beach, its a 15 minute walk, throw our towels on the sand and go in the water for 2/3 hours and back to the boat! The sand may have a little garbage (hey its free), but the water is refreshing and clean. Safe walk and free!!

    I love this video because like you pointed out, there really are many many things to do in Nassau. It's just that so many people are unaware when they cruise in for a few hours. I think a stopover is best to discover a place but that's only my preference

  • @jenniferk3530

    We did Ardastra Garden and City Tour!! I loved it!! Wish I had the kiddos.... they would have loved it as well. The tour stopped at a little market and then drop off was right outside the port. We also fed the parrots, hubs held a snake... so hands on. It was beautiful there too.

    In 2017 we went to Nassau and bought the Blue Lagoon beach day excursion. Now the place itself was beautiful but key in the time it takes from the excursion boat to the private island (30mins there and back from port), once you arrive there they tell you " ok last boat to the port leaves in ...." Which doesn't give you enough time to relax. We had once we got there about 2 hours to relax before the last boat left for port. Which was a bummer in itself. We're going back to Nassau twice with our 15 day cruise in October, with no excursions booked so we'll see how that defers from booked excursions to on your own.

    We just came back from a cruise on Royal Caribbean. We did a awesome dolphin encounter, but on the way back to the ship, we actually ran into barriers warning us about going into Nassau! It literally said this was a dangerous are and not to enter the area. It was a corridor back to the ship. We decided to follow their guidelines.

  • @meshiawilliams7139
    @meshiawilliams7139 4 роки тому +2

    We stopped at Nassau in 2013 and had a great time! Yes we got through the vendors at the port but once passed that area it was glorious. We did research prior to the trip and found that if we go to some of the resorts a little further out, the cost of the day passes were VERY reasonable (like $40 inc lunch). We took the local bus called a Jitney for like $2 each and the driver told us were to get fresh conch and unlimited rum punch along the way! Tips: have small bills, be aware, be smart, BE COURTEOUS-remember, you're a guest.

    If you like scuba, Stuart Cove is a great place to go diving. Lots of choices of what to dive, wrecks, sharks, movie sites. Also, the brewery "Pirate Republic" is a great place for beers, right outside the port where we dock.

    I went to Nassau for the first time in March. We booked an all inclusive resort for a day at the Hilton British Colonial and we loved it. It was about a 15 minute walk from the port. But we had to walk pass the pushy shop owners so beware of that.

    @anthonyfrancis9363 3 роки тому +5

    When I listen to these "tour advisors", all they promote is fear. If the Caribbean had located off the coast of Hawaii, instead of the South of Florida, chances are, you wouldn't hear this kind of safety assurance because the local inhabitants would probably be more white people. Furthermore, I don't know any city in North America I can randomly walk around and feel safe, especially in a city I'm visiting for the first time. This lady let Nassau sound like the most dangerous place with thugs and pirates that will snatched you of the street in broad daylight. Listen, if the Port of Nassau average 3-5 cruise ships a day, that must be some confidence these tour operators have with the port, else they wouldn't recommend it to passengers knowing that people lives are at stake. so before you judge people country, please take a look at yours.
