Rare FlaMariner Posted December 25, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Was at Freeport..... My advice. Stay on the ship or perhaps take a ship tour based on what floats your boat. We took a $12 RT taxi from the pier to the Lucaya shopping area.....It was a Sunday...Most shops were closed but looked like lots of shops were closed for good (not sure, but based on what we saw). Got beers (2 for $5). We walked to a nearby public beach and it was next to abandoned hotels. Beach was pitiful. Trash and an old picnic table. Not much of a beach, really. There was a similar shopping area next to the pier. Not much to it either. Freeport is hurting. Very sad considering what it was like 30 years ago (our last time there). Not sure what is going on but the empty hotels were not a good sign. If we had to do it all over again, we would have stayed on the ship.

strickerj Posted December 26, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Is there an excursion to Lucayan National Park? The caves and boardwalk look interesting. Everything else I've found seems to be beaches and shopping, neither of which are for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieShip Posted December 26, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Thanks for reporting back, I had thought about doing the taxi to the beach thing, but was worn out from our previous day so just did a quick stroll around the port shops.
