Will it be chaos in port ??

[DKNE]

Of all the ships in port through the years we have cruised, we have never had a whole slew of ships at once, I think the most was 4 or less.

 

In approximately 12 days we will be in Nassau with a total of 6 ships or almost 16,000 people, and 5 of those ships arriving at 8am and 1 at 7am. Its will be an 'amazing race' to see who gets to the port first lol

 

Will it be total and utter chaos when leaving the ship and once in Nassau ?

I think we did 5 or 6 in Nassau, it was congested all coming n and busy in town but not chaos.

Wow....in May we had 3 ships in port at same time....it was busy. 6 will be crowded but there are so many shops, vendors, bars and excursions, I doubt it will be chaos

I think that is fairly normal for Nassau to have that many ships, and probably why so many don't like it there. I was there two years ago on a cruise, and there were at least 5 ships in port, probably 6.

 

The streets were pretty jammed and crowded, as were the shops, but I endured it:D I used to vacation in Nassau 20 years ago or so, quite often, and this was my first time back. Yes it was busy, crowded, but I still enjoyed it.

 

yes it will be crowded near the docks area. LOL...no chaos though!

Not if Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 have anything to say about it.

6 ships in Nassau? Even more reason to stay on the ship. Pool day.

Stay on the nearly empty ship.

Don't forget there's a bus that will take you and bring you back to the ship if a person is in need of help. But a bit congested other than that it moves rather smoothly.

Last time there, was seven ships in port. We were second in. No chaos.

[OCruisers]

No chaos! Nassau handles a large number of ships in port very well! :)

[Banditswife]

We've been to Nassau with that many ships or more. It wasn't bad. We were in Grand Cayman a few years ago with 8 other ships- now that was a mad house, especially at the stingray area.

[DKNE]

Great thanks everyone!!! :D

We're gonna get off the ship as we only have 2 ports.

Regardless it's vacation time !! Woot woot !

[pbsteve]

For a second thought you were on the breeze with me. We will be in that madhouse too, and probably stay on the ship

It's always busy in Nassau! But so much fun. Have a great time!!

I keep posting that Cable Beach is one of the nicest beaches in Nassau and it is only a short cab or bus ride away from the port.

 

Amazing how few cruisers go there.

We are scheduled to be in Cozumel on a day in December when there are seven ships in port. We booked ourselves into Nachi Cocum, just to be in a place where numbers are limited.

How do you find out how many ships are docking in each port each day?

There are quite a few sites. This is one:

It's great when your ship is the only one in port. 5 or 6 ships it's crowded but you deal with it. If your in a tender port you would want give your self plenty of time. What can be a hassle is when coming home, 6 ships in port and your flying home the airport may be packed.

I've been to Nassau with 5 ships in port, one of those being Allure of the Seas. We didn't find it chaotic.

Would you suggest Cable beach over tiki bikini hut beach ? We haven't decided what to do yet in Nassau.
