Bahamas at New Years

[ugagal07]

We will be in Freeport 12-7 on New Year's Eve and Nassau 8-10 on New Year's Day.

 

I had planned to go to Taino Beach and walk to Smith's Point for snacks in Freeport and got to Junkanoo Beach and Fish Fry at Arawak Cay in Nassau.

 

Will things be open and working with New Year's coming into play or should I try and plan something a little more structured?

No one has any idea or experience with the Bahamas on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day?

No experience just yet- but we may be on the same cruise ship!!!- I leaving out of Jacksonville- I am still looking for something for New Years in Freeport but I have booked for Atlantis in Nassau on New Years day. I decided to go with the comfort suites- since it appeared that we are there in port almost 14 hrs- and I was able to get a rate of about $174.00 , which allows full access to Atlantis

Hello CruiseMates........

I am thinking there will be

a Big Junkanoo Parade on NY's Day in

Nassau........

 

I think most stores in the downtown area

will be closed until the Parade is over.......

Everything in Freeport is open as normal on New Year's Eve. Nothing special goes on until evening time, just like in most places. Plan as for any other day.

Junkanoo, here we come!

 

I've never been in Nassau for New Year's but I imagine it is "business as usual".

I can't imagine places closing down on one of the busiest tourist days of the year

 

Enjoy!

 

Report back how it went
