Absolutely loved this port. The water was beautiful and relaxing on the beach was just what I needed. I was ready to get a job with Carnival so that I could stay.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

I really enjoyed this port but I have to say that the street vendors were a little pushy. I understand that they are trying to make a living but it can be a little intimidating.
