stobe1 Posted May 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Looks like Carnival is developing a new port on Grand Bahama Island. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/florida-cruise-guide/os-carnival-cruise-line-grand-bahama-port-20170502-story,amp.html It will be interesting to follow this and see how it turns out.

poz222 Posted May 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2017 They definitely can use one! A great port option there would be welcome for passengers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bUU Posted May 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I read about this on the Holland America board. I agree with AtlantaCruiser72 about this news I think this will be more akin to Amber Cove, Harvest Caye, Grand Turk, Mahogany Bay, Falmouth, etc - it will most likely only be used by Carnival Corp ships but all food and beverage will be pay for use and operated by "local" vendors. This appears to be the way forward for "private destinations". This message may have been entered using voice recognition. Please excuse any typos.

deborahjo Posted May 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Does not matter to me. Hate Nassau. It is a dirty city. If we ever have to go back to the Bahamas anywhere I will gladly stay on the ship. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Grand Bahama is the island where Freeport is located, NOT Nassau. Nassau is on a different island. Just FYI.

VolzCruiser Posted May 3, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2017 While a lot of people don't like Freeport my DW and I have a nice routine and we make it a beach day. I think this will really be good for thing for both Grand Bahama and Carnival and I look forward to traveling there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzeluver Posted May 3, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 3, 2017 We love Freeport. Plenty of options if you are prepared to a little research. Unless you prefer to stumble off the ship onto dry land and have lots of tourist amusements within feet of you. Not really a fan of these phony, tourist areas they keep building to keep cruisers close by and not actually exploring the places they go. Went to Roatan in February and got the heck away from Mahogany Bay as quick as possible and had a marvelous time exploring a beautiful, diverse country. Grand Turk is a bust on land, but snorkeling and diving are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted May 3, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 3, 2017 For those who love a sanitized, cookie cutter shopping corral, this can be perfect. For those who like getting into the countryside, it'll be something to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
