Nassau, Bahamas Port Reviews

We had a pretty good time here. We took a taxi to the Fish Fry and OMG the food and drinks were amazing! There was so much food on the plate that my husband, 2 of our daughters and I shared the plate. We took a taxi to John Wahling's rum distillery and had the best pina coladas we've ever drank! We bought 2 bottles of the rum...they were around $35-40 a bottle but well worth it. There were other bottles that were way more in price. We are looking forward to visiting Nassau again in the next couple of years.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! We booked an excursion through a third party, got a great deal and went to Balmoral Island. It was breath taking! I didn't want to leave. The beach wasn't crowded, the locals were so friendly and polite, the drinks were strong and the beach was so clean! I wish I could go back right now!

My second time in Nassau was far greater than the first. We stumbled upon a highly recommend tour given by a taxi driver (Danny Miller) for $20/person. He drove us to Atlantis to look around, gave a tour of celebrity houses on Paradise Island, then drove around different areas of Nassau giving fun facts about the Commonwealth, it's people, and history along the way. If you're a historical/cultural nerd like me this is the way to go!

We were hesitant about this port due to other reviews and warnings posted. Many people have said that the locals were way too aggressive, but we walked around shopping area including the straw market and never felt unsafe. Vendors tried to sell their products but a polite “no thank you” was all that was needed. They all then just said “have a nice day”.

Visited Nassau on Oct 6th. Bay Street shopping was about 80% reopened. Junkanoo beach was also reopening. I was happy to see that Angels Sanctuary Massage had reopened. My wife and I enjoyed a half hour couples massage on the beach for 1/4th the price on board ship. Short walk from the shopping district and 30 minutes of relaxing

This was our 2nd time going to Nassua, we did the day pass at the Hilton. It was absolutely beautiful. If we go back, we will do this again. Its only about a 10 minute walk from the ship. We did not have a problem with anyone being too pushy to sell stuff! They would ask and we kindly said no thank you, with a smile, and that was the end of it.

Was amazing we took a walk and came across a church built in 1740s inside was beautiful the stained glass windows were gorgeous it's definitely something to go see the gentleman there have us directions to the 1st church built in the 1600s as we walked everyone was very friendly. We stopped by Graycliffs hotel and restaurant which famous celebrity have stayed (Beatles, Beyonce and others) the grounds were beautiful and the pools were amazing. Going for a walk on our own was amazing.

We really enjoyed this port. We did not feel unsafe (however we didn’t get off the beaten path while shopping). We visited Hard Rock Cafe and the little souvenir shops around. We did the VIP dolphin excursion at Blue Lagoon and made it back to port for time to shop. Getting off ship and finding your excursion was chaotic and then guides were a little rude. I laughed it off. They aren’t on vacation and I have bad days at work too. Don’t miss this port!

Had an overnight in Nassau. Found that if you want to visit Atlantis aquarium that it is free after 5pm. You will have a lot less people and you can also enjoy Atlantis beach in the evening at no charge.

Loved Nassau! Read so many reviews about the islanders being aggressive.. Did not have that problem at all!! Loved the food, people were friendly. 🤗🤗
