Nassau with 5 ships in port

[shorebilly]

We will be in Nassau in early January with 4 other ships. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what to do on this crowded of an island day? Also we arrive late, we are in port from 1:00pm to 7:00pm. Any and all suggestions would be welcome:o

That's a lot of ships in port! There were 3 the day I was there and we had no trouble getting around. Your late arrival may help with that, some ships leave at 4 so their passengers will be heading back while you are on your way out.

 

Most people go to Paradise Island in Nassau for some beach time. My husband and I got off the ship and took a ferry ($6pp round trip) over to Paradise Island and walked to a local beach. We returned to Nassau and had lunch at Senor Frogs .. the food was great but it was really pricey.

You may want to go to the beach and also walk around the town.

 

It will be crowded but it is not unusual to have so many ships in port in January.

If seeing Atlantis is on your "to do" list- cruisers can take the water taxi or a van taxi to Atlantis- walk around the marina area and the lobby and casino and then go back to the pier. From the pier, you can walk to the British Colonial Hilton for tea and then shop in the area.

 

if you don't have Atlantis as a destination, you might consider a historic tour of Nassau and a trip to Ardastra Gardens & Zoo.

 

We've done these activities with 4 or 5 ships in port.

Or maybe take a day pass at the British Colonial Hilton...
