luvscruising2007 Posted August 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I am not overly excited about this port stop. Is there anything to do right at the port, shopping, history, bar or restaurant? Thinking we might just stay aboard and relax rather than take an excursion which really isn't important to us. Your opinions are appreciated.

oilsand Posted August 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The stop in freeport is industrial and spread out and there are only a few bars , shopping and places to eat right at the port. otherwise it is an excursion of a shuttle to lucaya, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted August 30, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks! We are not beach people so we will walk around if we can and then return to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilsand Posted August 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Walking around the port area would get you off the ship but not much else. A shuttle to the lucaya marketplace would let you see a bit of scenery and walking around the marketplace , hotel, casino and even the beach ( even if you are not spending time there ) wou;d be a reasonable way to spend part of the day. The shuttle from the port is a mini bus and relatively cheap IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted September 1, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Where do you get the shuttle and does it return to port on a frequent schedule. That may be a good solution. Is there somewhere I can get more information? Thanks, Oilsand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilsand Posted September 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2016 the shuttle busses to lucaya are right at the dock and drop you and pick up across the street from lucaya.. they run frequently and it is almost a hop on when you want to come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunello22 Posted September 7, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) We spent a couple of days on the island, so we had the leisure of renting a car. Depending on how long you have in port, consider renting a car and driving to the Lucayan National Park. The beaches there are amazing (no tourists like near the port) and the underwater caves are definitely something to see. http://www.bahamas.com/vendor/lucayan-national-park#zoom=14&lat=26.65945&lon=-78.52065&layers=00B0T http://travel.usnews.com/Bahamas/Things_To_Do/Lucayan_National_Park_53116/ The island and the beaches are very beautiful, but you have to leave the port area to experience it.
