Nassau! Things to do

[The bells]

Hey all so my gf and I made plans to just go walk to the beach for a few hours get lunch and walk down bay st but I started reading up on it as it is getting closer to r departure date and I saw that it is unsafe and I saw people suggesting to book a day pass at a resort. What is everyone's thoughts on Nassau is going on your own unsafe or r people very nagging and in ur face ?? We wanted to go check out the straw market but don't want to be harassed and feel uncomfortable! What else do you guys suggest doing ?!

 

Thank you for responses !! Happy cruising!!

What else do people suggest to do for resorts or excursions?!?

There are lots of vendors between the pier and the straw market.

 

 

To avoid that- we take a van taxi to Cable Beach or another excursion.

 

We usually shop at Festival Place, right near the pier, on our way back to the ship.

The 2 times we've been there, we've just done the British colonial hotel, but this time, we are going to try to find a place to eat!

I always walk to Junkanoo Beach for a beer and then to the fish fry for lunch and enjoy the walk along the waterfront back to the ship. Never had a problem with vendors after I left the immediate dock area.

Just off the Breakaway... We got off the ship in Nassau and were harassed from the time we got off the ship until the time we arrived at the straw market and then it started all over again at the straw market. We were only off the ship for 1 hour.

 

Do yourself a favor, book a resort for the day [emoji4]

There were guards with machine guns when we got off the ship also...
