Blue Lagoon Island hands down. Reserve in Nassau not through cruise line. It's about half the cost and you get to stay longer.

Yes, the Jitney is the bus. You can pick up #10 in front of McDonalds. Be sure you take #10, not #10A, else you will take a long tour.

 

Thank you.

get off the ship only to get free wifi in the port terminal. Then get right back on the ship and enjoy. Although so many people stay on board while in Nassau, its not so quiet.

I can see why people stay on board in Nassau. Kinda sketchy at time and very pushy sales people.

Ardastra Zoo and Gardens, Fort Charlotte and Fort Fincastle are my favorites. I like Nassau, some people go to Atlantis but I have never been there. It is not my favorite port but I have a good time and feel safe walking around in the day alone. There are police everywhere and I have never had a problem.

If your there with kids, the pirate museum was fun. We will take a short walk to get a good photo shot of the ships, maybe a drink on the beach.

I goto a restaurant called "the poop deck". it's on east bay road right off the bridge to paradise island.

Last time we went, we took the kids to Atlantis. We had a great time!

My dh and son spent the whole day, while my dd and I went back after half day. Going to be there in Nov while we're on the Oasis. This maybe a good port to just stay on the ship and enjoy it "alone".

Senor Frog's is always fun!

We like the Poop Deck too for good local food...cracked conch and peas and rice, or grouper, or local lobster. Sr. Frogs is a tourist trap with overpriced food that's of questionable quality.

We were there a few cruises ago and we walked around and saw the sites. Enjoyed it. We found a "pirate" venue an did that, not expensive and it was fun. We found a nice coffee and donut shop and me some locals. We had lunch on main street in a restaurant upstairs that was outdoors, had live music and good food. Also did some shopping. All in all a good time and will be there again next month.

Seems to be a popular answer. What is wrong with the island? :confused:

 

The port is a dump! The streets are dirty, you have the locals trying to sell you their jewelry or braid your hair and if you're really that curious, go to the straw market. You'll walk out in less than 5 minutes.

Thank you..some good ideas.. We go in April and we already said we were not going to the Atlantis. We went there with the kids for vacation few years ago so we figured we would either do something else or stay on the ship :)

Walk over to the Straw Market then go back on the ship.

We have been to Nassau several times and always had good excursions.

The important thing is to get away from the pier and Straw Market.

 

The closest places to go which are good are the British Colonial Hilton and The Pirate's Museum.

 

We enjoy the Sheraton (now Melia) at Cable Beach-very good facility for

a day pass.

 

We also enjoyed Ardastra Gardens & Zoo.

 

Also Atlantis- one can take a van cab to Atlantis Marina Village and walk around there and then buy a ticket to the Dig or aquarium.

 

There is plenty to do in Nassau away from the pier. Book an excursion.

How much is a day pass to Atlantis or others???

There for the first time in around 46 days on Adventure Ta

Blue Lagoon Island has dolphin and sea lion encounters or you can get a beach day and snorkel or just hang on the beach, they also have food and drinks there too. We did the dolphin encounter and it was worth every penny.

 

I loved my last time there It was the greatest day on any ship. Yes, it is $$$$. but after 50 cruises plus, this is the best cruise day ever

I love their peas and rice. I always get the lobster tails and conch fritters. and of course guava duff for dessert

Lots of great ideas. Thank you everyone!
