Thumbs up

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5

No ship excursion and limited local options compared to other ports. Vendors were friendly and some offered hand made items like Christmas ornaments and wood carvings.

Thumbs Up 1

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Went to Junkanoo beach, Tiki bikini hut for reasonable drinks and beach time and Curly restaurant at Fish Fry for conch and red snapper. All within about a mile or so walking from the port.
