We did Maya Key on our Carnival Cruise recently. The snorkeling was excellent. You go off the end of a pier off the beach. They have guides for you. The beach itself is calm and clear. The animals are all rescues, many confiscated from travelers at the local airport. The food was good. You get a single pass through the food line. Bar has all kinds of drinks, but you pay as you go. We had a good time!

How was the pool?

Was it safe to snorkel there? Someone posted that you’re in shallow water and the coral is high. They were getting cut up.

We have not been to either so the only advice I can provide is this: Maya Key is close to the cruise port and Turquoise Bay is quite a long drive to the northeast (about 10-11 miles as the sea gull flys). If travel time is a concern, then Maya Key would be the choice. I'm sure others who have visited both will have more info for you.

ETA: just saw your other thread on this topic and it appears you chose Maya Key, albeit for other reasons than travel time.

I saw that they have animals there and you can get up close to them. Sounds interesting!

Thank you!

I’m going with Maya Key. The animals and pool were the deciding factors.

Help me choose between Maya Key and Turquoise Bay!

They both have good reviews Maya comes with lunch and Turquoise is AI.

Anyone???

Please help me decide from these 2 excursions.

Maya Key comes with lunch and Turquoise Bay is all inclusive.

I’m looking for a clean beach with clear water.

Taxi's in Nassau are always lined up and waiting at the pier.  If it's your first time in Nassau, it may seem a bit overwhelming as there are so many.  You would just let them know you do need a taxi, how many of you will be traveling, and where you are going.  US Cash, small currency as they do not always have the ability to make change.  If you are going to Paradise Island where the Atlantis, Cabbage Beach, etc. it should be about $5 -$6 per person one way.  If going in the other direction towards Breezes and Baha Bay Waterpark it will be about $8-$10 per person one way. Last I saw gas on the island was about $7 a gallon. It is not uncommon that the taxi driver may ask you to share the ride with others going same direction.  I have used the taxi's many times with no worries and no fear even traveling alone.  Hope you have a wonderful time!

 

Thank you so much!

This really helps.

I leave Sunday on Oasis. I’m on the app to book shows that need reservations. It’s not allowing any except for the first night.

And they’re all booked.

Where do I make reservations for the week when I get on board? 
Will the app open up? Or do I have to go to the theater?

Did you book directly with Breezes

Yes. I booked on their website.

Yes. I booked directly online on their website.

Sounds easy enough! Lol Thank you

I booked an all inclusive day pass at Breezes.

$80 food and drinks included.

I trying to get info on the taxis and pricing to get there.

Any help would be appreciated.

How easy is it to get a taxi right off the ship in Nassau?

Are they safe?

We have a day pass at Breezes.

Any idea on price also? TY

We were on Adventure for a B2B this past October.

Does anyone know who the comedian was on that ship?

Or how I can find out?

TIA

There are plenty, but I'm not a big souvenir shopper, so I'm not the best person to ask.  I did find a gin tasting place up the street from Holy donuts. 

 

Are you on Adventure now?

We are at our last port today. St John. We’re doing the trolley tour.

I actually didn’t care for those donuts at Holy Donut. A little dry to me.

We just went to the Side St Cafe.

Blueberry Pie was delicious!

Didnt care for the lobster though.

Did you find any souvenir shops in Portland?

Thank you for this review!

And dropping off the ship in time for me to get on.

However the internet went down and no one could board till about noon!

First buffet completed lol

I’m really looking forward to this next week!

Did you have them cook your catch?

After Peggy’s Cove, we found this place for lunch.

 

 

Its about two miles away from Peggy’s Cove in Indian Harbour.

 

 

 

Menu

 

 

I succeeded in my quest to find Donair with the   Donaitor Pizza. Delicious find. 

 

 

Although I did not get a picture, my wife discovered it is possible to get a gluten free Fish and Chips that tasted amazing.  In fact this restaurant excels in gluten free offerings.

 

Dessert is the sea salt caramel chocolate

pate’ also gluten free.

 

 

My search for a Beaver Tail unfortunately ended in failure.

 

 

No reason given for closure.  I didn’t have reliable data or I would have found their store page on fb which told me they were closed due to rain.  Could not find anywhere else to find beaver tails so this is a failure.

 

It may not look like it in the photos, but it has been a downpour all day.

 

Was this place close to the ship or out by Peggy’s Cove?

I keep answering 1/2 of your questions.

 

I found it easy to get around.  But then again, I’m generally good with directions.  The good thing with all the ports except for Boston so far is that the ship lets you out right downtown.  You exit the ship and you’re in the heart of everything more or less.

It’s ok. U have no idea how much I appreciate you answering all my questions!

I didn’t get a picture of the food truck, but it was parked right inside this village made of cargo containers.  It looked like its normally there.  Its right next to the cruise ship terminal.  You literally walk into it as you exit the door.  However, its on the opposite side of where all the tour buses park.

 

 

That looks like such a cool idea!

We wandered around in the morning before our tour as you saw.  

 

 

made it up to Kings Square.

 

 

 

Found this at a theater.  We’d check it out if we had time.

 

 

and made it to Queens square.

 

 

 

 pass the 3 sisters lamp.

 

 

 

 

Today’s adventure is Royal’s Bay of Fundy’e Coastal Photography tour.

 

Stopped at the reverse rapids.

 

 

This is fascinating.  The tides here in the Bay of Fundy rise and fall 28 feet each day.  Low tide, the water flows into the Bay but during high tide, the bay of Fundy pushes back up the river.

 

Then we stopped at the Lepreau Falls.

 

 

 

 

Stopped at Dipper Harbor. 

 

 

 

 

Whats fascinating here that these ships are 20

feet lower because of low tide.  High tide, there is no down.  everything would be flat.

 

And then stopped at Irving Nature Park

Did you find it easy to wander around? I would be afraid of getting lost.

you took gorgeous pictures. Weather looks beautiful.

I want to try poutine and beavertails in Canada. Where did you get the poutine?

First stop in Portland.

 

 

These better be good donuts.  They are supposedly gluten free for my wife.  Check out that line

 

How were the donuts? I’m so excited to go there before my lobster boat trip.

Did the line move fast?

No more ArriveCan!
wooo hooo
