We're in the same boat (not literally) - our cruise on the NCL Spirit in February arrives in Nassua at 9:30am and leaves at 3:00pm. Taking into account the time for immigration clearing and getting back aboard (which trust me we don't do 10 minutes before the ship leaves), we have at best about 4.5 hours ashore in Nassua. What if anything can one do with that?:eek:

That's 7 too many for me! It's my least favorite port.

If you just want to lay by a quiet pool with a beach, the British Colonial Hilton is the big hotel just to your right as you dock.

They have a daypass for $15 for use of their pool, beach, etc...

Also a restaurant next to the pool.

 

You can walk to most of the major landmarks, easily in 4 1/2 hours.

(please respond in there if you find it helpful, to keep it near the top for the next Nassau newbie)

 

My Wife and I did the BCH daypass, but many head to Cable Beach to use the facilities at the hotels there. But it involves cab rides or buss rides, but from reading many threads in here, should be definitely doable in your timeframe.

 

We are going back next month and can't wait to return to Nassau.

Made sure we have 24 hours in town again, My Wife and I loved it so much the last time.
