Thank you for this! I was starting to think I booked the wrong cruise because of the rep Nassau gets. This made me realize I'll be just fine and have some fun!
I traveled by myself in July 2024 and wasn’t the least bit uncomfortable being a solo female at this port. I didn’t plan to get off the ship at first because of the hasslers but then I saw these improvements and I’m glad I gave it a chance
Great video, thank you. I know for sure I don't need to pay for an excursion. I can wonder right at the port and I will surely get me a Disney straw bag.
That looks awesome! Do you happen to remember if anyone was doing hair braiding or if there were sit down restaurant areas? We are going in a week and are hoping to meet our friends from another cruise ship.
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm headed there in 4 weeks. Question how long would you say you spent in this area before going back on the ship? Also, do the gift shops and museum accept US cash or credit cards?
I probably spent about 2 hrs walking around the area. Here is the museum website for pricing. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful time! www.bahamasmuseumofjunkanoo.com/
In cruise arrivals, do you undergo Immigration interview before going out from the Port? Do they ask documents? Or once embarked you can start tours right away?
I have only cruised with Disney. With them all you need was your “cruise ship id card/Key To The World Card” and your passport or birth certificate and ID. Then they can scan you off the ship and start your excursion. I hope that helps.
We always felt a little uncomfortable at Nassau because of there aggressive behavior. I will keep that in mind if we ever make it out to Las Vegas. Thanks buddy.
Our country is so much more than a straw market it's sad to see people who wants all of our goods and services for free with a smile and if we ask for more than a pat on the back our entire country is condemned and reduced to being 1 person in a straw market who has to feed a family on less than minimum wage our country is safe our people are kind and loving our island is beautiful with lots to see and do promoting stay on the ship is a disservice to the men and women who $300millilon dollars later still wants to improve to teach people better
That new upgrade looks awesome. When I was there it was a mess. Looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing 😊
Have fun my friend! Thanks for watching and have a safe visit.👍

I seen several people hair braiding and they were a few restaurants with indoor seating. Have a safe trip! Thanks for watching my friend.👍
Love taking the tour at the Pirate Museum! And going diving with Stuart's Cove.❤

@@HitchHikingYeti thank you for your response
Any place to get a good "Bahama mama" or a "Yellow Bird " drink? Weve had some really good ones across the street years ago.
In cruise arrivals, do you undergo Immigration interview before going out from the Port? Do they ask documents? Or once embarked you can start tours right away?
I have only cruised with Disney. With them all you need was your “cruise ship id card/Key To The World Card” and your passport or birth certificate and ID. Then they can scan you off the ship and start your excursion. I hope that helps.
New cruiser, thank you . A question, can you use cash in the casino of the ship?
Carnival Cruise and Royal Caribbean allow cash and your room card that opens your stateroom door. Thanks for watching and enjoy your cruise!👍
FYI the “one eye” is the evil eye protection. It’s very common in the Caribbean culture.
Thanks Sally!👍
@@HitchHikingYeti no problem. Just subscribed love
Your channel already!
Do you need your passport to cross over to strawmarket
I always have a passport. If you do not have a passport you will need a valid government issued id & a certified birth certificate.
I like how the wife just sits behind you and waits until you finish the intro lol
She loves trolling me. She helps me out a great deal with my videos!
@@HitchHikingYeti I see that lol
Theirs always a good woman supporting us...I know!
Never been here! Fun trip!
Thanks for watching!
Did you notice a shop with any good rum cakes? The rum cake factory is delicious but not worth the harassment to walk on Bay Street to get it
I remember seeing several shops that sold rum cake. But , I did not taste any of there cakes to know if they are good. Sorry.
Did you see a place selling duty free alcohol and tobacco?
Not that I recall. Not saying it is not available. I just don’t remember seeing it. Sorry!
The fake monks do the same thing with their jewelry in vegas. You have to be careful
We always felt a little uncomfortable at Nassau because of there aggressive behavior. I will keep that in mind if we ever make it out to Las Vegas. Thanks buddy.
Nice video, just to add it's pronounced Junkaknew even though it's spelled Junkanoo.
Thanks RayRay!
