Rare Racegirl6 Posted June 15, 2016 #51 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Just curious on what made you feel unsafe? I've never been there, going in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiscoGirl32 Posted June 16, 2016 #52 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Going in Sept too. Looking for a snorkle excursion or something. Not looking to book with the ship Sent from my SM-N920R4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chong67 Posted June 16, 2016 #53 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) I was in Nassau last month and our ship dock from noon to 6:30 pm. We walk to Atlantis. Easy walk along the roadsides and across the bridge. Be sure to bring umbrella, water and good walking shoes. Before you get to the casino, there are shops near there. We walk inside the casino until we cant go further due to a day pass. Dont pay for a day pass. Those casino make so much money and still want a day pass??? I want to walk back but wife say no. Its $4 per pax standard. When we get back to pier, we walk to queens stairs(strange place), then walk to the straw market, hang around there and hang around Senior Frog. Walk some more around there. Then its back to the ship. I had my walking app on and I walk 4 miles. Edited June 16, 2016 by chong67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babs135 Posted June 24, 2016 #54 Share Posted June 24, 2016 This is an easy and fun little walking tour (about 2 hours'ish) Can you tell me where Senor Frog is and also Fish Fry? Actually can someone explain what is Fish Fry? I assume it is a restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted June 24, 2016 #55 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Senior Frog is on the other side of straw market. To the right when exiting the port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomapper Posted June 25, 2016 #56 Share Posted June 25, 2016 We've been to Nassau several times and roughly followed the walking tour route twice. At no time did I feel any concern about safety. I find the locals nice and friendly. Or else they just ignore you going on about their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking to book with the ship Sent from my SM-N920R4 using Tapatalk We are going in September on Elation and Are doing the same excursion I've done before (hubby hasn't). I loved the catamaran sail and snorkel last time. It was a great experience and we're going in the morning so we can walk around before the ship leaves in the afternoon. We are booking through the ship this time because hubby feels safer doing it that way but I've done the same trip booked off the ship and it was still great.

cruzeluver Posted June 27, 2016 #60 Share Posted June 27, 2016 We did the self-guided walking tour a couple of years ago. It was great! Junkanoo is a decent beach that is free and very close to where the ships dock. Lunch at Fish Fry is also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babs135 Posted June 28, 2016 #61 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Lunch at Fish Fry is also great. Is this a restaurant and where about is it on the map please? I've heard people mention it before in their posts. Edited June 28, 2016 by babs135 Missed a bit out !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babs135 Posted July 2, 2016 #62 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Have now booked the Breakaway out of New York over New Year :D and have downloaded both the walking map and the detailed description of each stop. Getting excited now. Two questions (probably more to come!) What exactly is Fish Fry and where is it on the map? I understand there is a rum distillery. Can you just turn up on the day or do you have to book? And again, where is it on the map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunCruiser56 Posted July 4, 2016 #63 Share Posted July 4, 2016 We will be in port 7-2 on a Sunday, will much be open? We would prefer to just stay on the ship but will be with another couple who has never been to Nassau, so maybe the walking tour is the best plan for us?

If you're talking about the Frommer's walking tour map, John Watling's rum distillery is located near number 13. There's also a map on their website: http://www.johnwatlings.com/visit/about-us/. You don't need to book anything. The tour is basically a self-guided walk around the property. Great mojitos. :) The Fish Fry is not on the Frommer's map. It is about a mile and a half walk, heading west on West Bay Street.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums We have been to Graycliff before but never did any cigar rolling. We bought some cigars at their shop a couple of times and did the chocolate factory tour once. It looks like you need to contact the hotel to get more information about the cigar rolling lessons. There is a Contact Us link on the page.

MCManders99 Posted July 6, 2016 #72 Share Posted July 6, 2016 We are on the Allure sailing in April - Spring Break week - and are in Nassau 7am-2pm and I do not know what to do. I am traveling with Hubby and my kids age 6 & 9 at sailing. Thinking of leisurely getting off the ship and shopping near port maybe walking to Junkanoo. Spend an hour then then spend the rest of the day on the ship. If we do a tour - I'm unsure if we should book through the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzeluver Posted July 6, 2016 #73 Share Posted July 6, 2016 "Fish Fry" is another name for "Arawak Caye" which is located just past Junkanoo Beach, about a 15-20 minute walk from the port area. Its a collection of seafood places. Great food! Our favorite is Twin Brothers but you really can't go wrong with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
