Frosty25 Posted March 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I was wondering about getting off the ship in Nassau & how safe it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted March 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Very safe, taxis to Atlantis run about 4.00 each way. water taxi about 3.00 each way, short walk to the straw market. happy cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJMK Posted March 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2014 As in any unfamiliar area you need to be aware of your surroundings. There's plenty of crime in. Nassau. Use common sense and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetz Posted March 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Thank you!

mrobstad Posted March 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'm 59, and 3 yrs ago, my moped ran out of gas and my son kept driving. I was stranded for 2 hrs...the locals could not have been nicer. One let me stand in his garage for snow hour! Several stopped and offered help. I take the local bus to the Sheraton all the time....me and the locals! Great people!

OCruisers Posted March 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Basically, Nassau is safe. Staying in high traffic areas and not wandering around at night is a good idea. LuLu ~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it snowed in Nassau, or was that an auto correct?:D OP, some posters adbvise against going out at night but two weeks ago I saw plenty getting off the ship in the evening. Just be aware of your surroundings as you would anywhere at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapsmith Posted March 21, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I have felt safer in Nassau than in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted March 21, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I bet you have neighborhoods in RI that are more dangerous than the tourist areas of Nassau. Anyplace can have crimes, so don't get all 'touristy/stupid" wherever you are!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzeluver Posted March 22, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Roughly 3 trillion (only an estimate) of tourists descend on Nassau every day and nearly all make it home alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 22, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Be cautious. https://www.osac.gov/pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=15046 This is actually a good warning which all should consider. Even "Scubagirrl" who is a resident and always so helpful on this board and someone I totally trust & respect tells us to stay in well policed areas.

Velvetwater Posted March 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Our friends told us when they took a taxi back to the ship in Nassau and they was a large baseball bat wedged near the gearstick. They didnt dare ask about it. Edited March 23, 2014 by Velvetwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
