Rare BlerkOne Posted January 28 #2 Share Posted January 28 I think it was just issued yesterday. Looks like mostly gang on gang stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymok Posted January 28 #3 Share Posted January 28 This was posted to the internet this AM. Since the beginning of 2024, there have been 18 recorded murders in Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas. These incidents have occurred at various times, including broad daylight on the streets. The primary motive behind these murders appears to be retaliatory gang violence1. Please exercise extreme caution when in the eastern part of New Providence Island (Nassau), and remain vigilant while walking or driving at night. It’s essential to be aware of your surroundings and review your personal security plans during your stay in Nassau1. If you’re a U.S. citizen, you can also reach out to the U.S. Embassy Nassau for assistance1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 28 #4 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Read the warning. It's very specific to a neighborhood known for gang on gang violence. Edited January 28 by smokeybandit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted January 28 #6 Share Posted January 28 Gang warfare in the Bahamas has been going on for years. While I wouldn't suggest wandering around anywhere away from the port area, the new port area is very well done and worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierpop Posted January 28 #8 Share Posted January 28 Nassau was a stay on the ship port before so it really is now. Maybe walk around the port area with the new changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabbo55 Posted January 28 #9 Share Posted January 28 Do you think any cruise lines will skip Nassau in the short term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnetteSC Posted January 28 #11 Share Posted January 28 We were originally planning on walking around on our own but now we’re thinking of doing a ship excursion. Nothing big….it’s called A Taste of Nassau and offered by MSC. Unfortunately, there is no info on their website about this excursion. Calling them did no good since they didn’t have anything to share. By any chance, has anyone done this excursion and is able to give me info about it? Thank You!
