SoFLCruiser Posted October 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If you're not into the crowds on Bay Street... and not into taxi's.. Grab the jitney on Bay Street, after you exit the ship and get through the crowds to the beginning of Bay Street. They go one way. Take the jitney all around Nassau and see the town. Ask the driver to let you off at the Rum Factory Store (on Bay Street, before Potter's Cay Bridge), and go get the little rum cakes for Christmas presents or things to take back home. If you want to hang with the locals and eat the local fare.. get off the jitney at Potter's Cay Bridge. (this is the bridge that takes you over to Atlantis. you can walk from here) You will see dozens and dozens of brightly coloured shacks that are little restaurants. go find one and have a seat, drink a couple of beers, talk to the local's and have some scorched conched!!!! (and take lots and lots of photo's!!) You can grab the jitney at the Potter's Cay bridge and return to the ship, the long way.. it goes through the town of Nassau. great chance to see the island, the town, and savor the taste of the scorched conch. ;) Cabbage Beach, on the island is a nice beach... There's a ferry that runs out of the harbor over to Atlantis for a nominal fee. There's lots to do in Nassau if you want to do it on your own...

no1uno Posted October 20, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2008 How much for Jitney? Do you buy each trip or is there a ride all day pass? Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilsand Posted October 28, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2008 As soon as you exit the ship there will be hoards of guys trying to sell you tickets on the water taxi to Atlantis. Was $ 3.00 each way the last time I took it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna - dsw Posted October 28, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2008 It is very crowded and slow - plus you have to walk a long ways once you get off the water taxi - - if you want to get the quickly the best way is via cab - - however if you want the water taxi ride - then by all means go for it.
