Jdragon95 Posted October 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hello, I have been reading up on what to do on our day in Nassau coming up in December. I was thinking of taking the number 10 Jitney to the Fort Charlotte and then to Cable Beach. Is this easy to do from the cruise terminal? Is it free to get onto cable beach? Does fort Charlotte charge an entrance fee? Thank you! Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrya72 Posted October 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Not sure about the bus but Ft Charlotte was $1.00. Sent from my XT1254 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUIGONATOR Posted October 17, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2016 how do you get on the bus? where can I see a bus schedule etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdragon95 Posted October 17, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted October 17, 2016 how do you get on the bus? where can I see a bus schedule etc? From what I have read you can get the bus at the McDonald's across from the Colonial Hilton. I believe it is $1.25 per person each way. Someone correct me if I am wrong. It is the #10 bus to Cable Beach. Sent from my SM-G900V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjmaher Posted October 18, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Correct it is the number 10 and it is $1.25. Very user friendly and easy to find. If not ask and folks will direct you. Highly recommend doing it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly recommend doing it this way. Is that in US dollars or will we need to convert to take the bus? Does it run regularly back to town? Just don't want to leave to late and miss the ship LOL! Once at Cable Beach--can you reccommend where you went to access the beach/snorkel area? Also--any place that offers lockers to secure belongings while in the water?

cruiseapril Posted October 23, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We always get a day pass to the Melia (formerly Sheraton) on Cable Beach. This ensures bathrooms, changing areas, and one gets the use of great pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't want to leave to late and miss the ship LOL! You can use US dollars for the bus. Use small bills because the drivers don't always give change and if they do, it will probably be in Bahamian dollars. Buses come by every 5-10 minutes.

Is it possible to get on the beach without paying any fee at all? If we just want to sit on the beach and don't need a pool or bathroom?

Sent from my SM-G900V using Forums mobile app If you want a free beach, then yes. :) The buses don't go to Paradise Island so you would need a taxi. $4 a person (plus tip).

tjmaher Posted October 24, 2016 #22 Share Posted October 24, 2016 We are doing the Melia Resort next week. It was $35, but nothing is included, except chair/umbrella/towel. I am fine with that as our ship is only there from 7 am to 3 pm. It is very easy to get a bus back, they run on a regular schedule. I would however, leave extra time in case of traffic. The bus system is really easy and simple to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked in to their lobby and asked where the Starbucks is. (through lobby, veer right, then down the stairs). That's where the door is out to their pool area. Walk past their pools and bar and you're on the beach. * If you do happen to see a security guy, just tell him where you want to go - to the public beach. They'll direct you. I had no problem. When I was done for the afternoon, I walked right back out through their lobby, down their front stairs, and that's where the bus stops. Convenient. Good Luck! Have Fun!

We did this and worked for us a few years ago. Stopping in Nassau in March and plan to do this again. One of the workers came up to us and asked if we wanted a wrist band for 10 bucks and took him up on his offer. Then went and hung around the pool for a little while. Not bad.
