cruise629 Posted February 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2019 the hotel closet to the ship, in walking distance is sold out of day passes for the day I will be there. Does anyone have any other options? There are 5 adults in our party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather1972 Posted February 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Try Blue Lagoon. Book it through NCL. I love that place. It's not a day pass to a hotel, but much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LisaLisa87 Posted February 16, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2019 We went to Breezes when we were docked in Nassau in December. I'd recommend it. The beach was nice and jerk chicken available at the pool grill was fantastic! We also considered the Melia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise629 Posted February 16, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Did you take a cab to breezes? Is food and drink included in the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinIllinois Posted February 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2019 You should post this on the Bahamas port of call forum, here is the link for you: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/35-bahamas/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted February 16, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2019 We’ve done Melia and RIU and enjoyed them much more than the Hilton, both a 15 minute cab ride away ($4 pp?). You can also take the #10 bus to Melia. We’ve done aqua adventure at Atlantis twice and had a great time, but certainly not relaxing. We almost booked Breezes, but our dates conflicted with graduation days - you don’t want to go there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Breeze Cruiser Posted February 16, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Breezes is our ‘go to’ place in Nassau. Their all inclusive day pass includes all food (beach bar & buffet) and alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks, There is a rock climbing wall, flying trapeze, kayaks, paddle boats, etc. The beach is gorgeous & there is a swim up bar at the pool. We usually take the local bus there or it is a short cab ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Travelicious Posted February 16, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Sandals also has day passes depending on availability, but you just have to show up to see. Passes are not sold online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonzwinery Posted February 16, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Breezes looks really nice! Was all set to book day passes for our cruise in March, however, no children under 14 are allowed. Was thinking about trying Baha Mar, but looks like they do not offer day passes. Has anyone ever just booked a room for the night, and used the room booking as your day pass? Was thinking about going this route instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They confirmed that I can simply book a room for the night, and have access to the entire resort for the day. Only problem, it ain't cheap! Over $500 with all the fees, plus, this does not include food and drinks. Ouch! Me thinks we'll just stay on the boat 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we rode in a van with a few others and made a couple of stops along the way. We bought our passes through a Resort for a Day. They were $104/person and included unlimited food and beverages. https://www.resortforaday.com/Nassau-Day-Pass-Breezes-Bahamas-p/nsnabzr-a.htm Edited February 17, 2019 by LisaLisa87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also $200 cheaper than the cruise line excursion. I plan on taking a taxi directly to Atlantis so I will avoid the bus long line and mandatory tour I have read about through the property and gift shop. So hopefully we will be in the water long before the bus even unloads. 🙂 Hope this helps anyone else asking the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolatravelgirl Posted February 26, 2019 #19 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I would vote for just staying on the ship and enjoying the amenities onboard with much lower crowds. Nassau is one of my least favorite ports as it is very congested. There will likely be several ships in port. Many shorter cruises hit Nassau as their only stop so they can satisfy the requirement of hitting a foreign port. If hotels are already sold out for day passes you can assume that it will be crowded all over the island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
