ddbaab53 Posted July 31, 2017 #77 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Thank you all for the information here. We have a cruise coming up and have about 10 folks who want to walk around Nassau together rather than by ourselves. This map with the turn by turn directions is great and really helps in making a big circle and reaching all points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCowboy9 Posted August 30, 2017 #78 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Was in Nassau earlier this month. The walking tour above is good, however, not a lot of intersections have street signs (so it's hard to know where you are -- so be warned!) Queen's Staircase and Fort Fincastle are worth going to. We went to one other place not on the map: John Watling's Distillery. The entrance is on Delancy St, between West and Augusta Streets - they served a great Piña Colada.

shava Posted November 11, 2017 #84 Share Posted November 11, 2017 This is the walking tour we created and did last Thanksgiving. I would end the walk at Junkanoo beach bar, not worth the walk or money to go to Fish Fry. I am 63 and not the best of shape and was able to complete. At least walk to Queens Staircase and then everything else is down hill. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Nassau+Walking+Tour/Queen's+Staircase/Fort+Fincastle/Government+House/Graycliff+Hotel+%26+Restaurant/St.Francis+Xavier+Cathedral/John+Watling%C2%B4s+Distillery/Junkanoo+Beach+(a+beach)/Goldie's+Conch+House/Straw+Market/@25.0762845,-77.3574568,15z/am=t/data=!3m1!4b1!4m62!4m61!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f7d04505130c5:0xf28d547dad31a7c3!2m2!1d-77.3404288!2d25.0782955!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f7d06abee5961:0x6338d56dc6c38c3d!2m2!1d-77.3378179!2d25.0738372!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f7ce546d4bd2d:0xf10fbc5cdc90cf7e!2m2!1d-77.33852!2d25.0735953!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f7d1caf44c6fd:0xe14903e94241c8e6!2m2!1d-77.3445849!2d25.0758295!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f7d191ad5ef75:0x5054a8994ba1f6d2!2m2!1d-77.345546!2d25.075836!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f7d1c72c1f705:0x29794928365647dd!2m2!1d-77.3481455!2d25.0758643!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f7d1c41380a5f:0xbb69f09798099186!2m2!1d-77.3491412!2d25.0741003!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f7d1bd7293e6b:0x107f4905755613a7!2m2!1d-77.349341!2d25.0789552!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f7d239ade5fdb:0x8b2219302d247d34!2m2!1d-77.3597681!2d25.0798706!1m5!1m1!1s0x892f6321140b93cf:0x61c54bcad60e3aed!2m2!1d-77.3433899!2d25.0784597!3e2 This is great, Thanks!

LESLIEKURZ Posted November 13, 2017 #85 Share Posted November 13, 2017 and for lunch we will either hike over to The Fish Fry or try the Bearded Clam. Love the Bearded Clam. Pricey but chill and fun with great bar food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know anything about that? Nassau port is huge and it can be a long walk. They have small buses that go back and forth between the ships and the terminal to cut down on your walking. If you go to YouTube and look for videos of people missing ships in Nassau, you can sometimes see these buses. :D I've never used one, but I'm assuming they are free and tips are appreciated.

JT888 Posted November 29, 2017 #90 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Do you prefer Nassau or Grand Bahamas? Are they both safe? I saw the increasing crime rates report in the Bahamas. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momonthego17 Posted December 4, 2017 #91 Share Posted December 4, 2017 My mom has wanted to see the Dale Chilully glass sculptures at Atlantis, which I believe are in common areas. Will we be able to see them without paying an admission fee? TIA! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCowboy9 Posted December 6, 2017 #92 Share Posted December 6, 2017 No admission fee at Atlantis to see the Chihuly sculptures. If mobility isn't an issue, you can take a water taxi across the bay (when you come out of the cruise terminal, there is a kiosk on the right). Then it's a short(ish) walk to the Atlantis. There were four sculptures in the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRT50 Posted December 6, 2017 #93 Share Posted December 6, 2017 My husband and I were in Nassau last May on the Celebrity Eclipse. We purchased a Day Pass for the British Colonial Hotel through “Resort for a Day” website and it proved to be a very pleasant experience. The hotel is only a 10 minute walk or 5 minute cab ride from the port and although we had a mid afternoon departure we were still able to enjoy the hotel facilities ie pool, private beach, bar and restaurant.

SRF Posted December 7, 2017 #95 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Does anyone have any recommendations on a snorkel trip? In August we did the sail and snorkel trip, booked through RCI. A short walk, boat trip on a catamaran, then snorkeling. The snorkeling was off the island owned by Eddie Murphy. :) Nice afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blpcote Posted December 18, 2017 #98 Share Posted December 18, 2017 We will be walking to Dunkin Donuts for some decent coffee, then back to enjoy the ship without the crowds.
