Mrs CruisinCritter Posted August 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2013 We are headed to Freeport the first week of October. My son will just turn 2 the weekend we embark on our cruise. Hubby is doing his own excursion in Freeport which was a late birthday gift so that leaves me and DS on our own for the day granted its a short day. We are only docked from 7-1:30. DS loves the beach and animals. Can anyone recommend something that I can do with DS on my own in Freeport? I don't want to stay on the ship or in the port area. I've considered cruise line excursions, but the price for the two of us is insane considering our limited time on the island. Can you please help with recommendations on things we can do?

mamajules Posted August 27, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2013 You can grab a cab in the port area (these are shared vans, so they fill it up before departing) for $5 pp each way. Go to the Port Lucaya area. They usually drop you off near the casino at the Grand Lucayan. You can get a day pass for the beach for $15 (I think your son, being under 3, would be free). This gives you access to their pool, beach, chairs, etc. Spend a little time on the beach, then catch a cab back to the port. There is a straw market across the street from where they drop you off.

Mrs CruisinCritter Posted August 28, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Thank you for that information! That sounds perfect since we will be able to leave whenever we want. Is it easy to find the taxis that are headed to Our Lucaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamajules Posted August 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Oh yeah. Taxis are plentiful at the port and a lot of folks head to the Port Lucaya area to do beach time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
