snoopy5512 Posted January 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hi! We are in Nassau from 7:00-3:00 These are my plans so far... Queens Staircase Government house Greycliff Manor (Chocolate Factory/cigar rolling) John Waltings Rum Factory Lunch Beach Brewing Company Will I have time for this? Which beach should we do? I know Junkanoo is the most convenient, but is it gross? I hear about tons of trash floating. I would like Cable but is that hard to access, particularly without getting a day pass? Thanks!

mjkacmom Posted February 1, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Cabbage beach is beautiful but no facilities. I’ve heard good things about this one but have never been. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g147415-d149327-r578561474-Saunders_Beach-New_Providence_Island_Bahamas.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're trying to fit too much in. Assume that most places do not open until 9:00 at the earliest. If your ship leaves at 3 PM, on board time is 2 PM, which means you need to start heading back to the ship around 1:30. Just pick 2 or 3 and enjoy yourself.

CookieShip Posted February 2, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2022 If you have other stops with better beaches, I would skip Junkanoo. Nothing really special there if you have other things to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopy5512 Posted February 3, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted February 3, 2022 So you need to be on the ship 1 hour earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyYadaYada Posted February 3, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Following. I have been trying to figure out what to do in Nassau this time around. Thanks for the ideas. I am thinking we only due a few site seeing stops and skip the beach on this stop. Does anyone have a good/safe walking plan to see the Queen's staircase and the John Waltings Distillery? Or is there any other recommended highlights to take in by foot or a short taxi ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to be back on the ship one hour before it departs. It's the same for all ports. Is this your first cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted February 4, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I agree with mets123, you're trying to do to much. Skip the beach and do the walking tour of Queen's Staircase, Government House, Graycliff and Watlings (Graycliff and Watlings are pretty close together). Then walk back down towards port and have lunch before getting back on the ship. I think in Nassau, you have to be back on the ship half an hour before sailing. But it can take a while to get through security at the pier (at least it did pre-covid) and the pier is a long walk so it's better to count on an hour. Also factor in "island time" when you're getting lunch. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauly Posted February 9, 2022 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think that is way too much. We have been on many cruises. You will have 6 hours in port total. IMO that is too much to do in the allotted time. Pick one or two and have fun. This list looks exhausting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
