If you want some late snacks, grab some food early and put it in your room for later or you'll have to settle for pizza

Thumbs Up 1

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Nice nearby shopping and beaches, restaurants, easy access to transportation

Thumbs Up 7

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5

Nice beach, but we're from Florida and have nice beaches at home, would have enjoyed Freeport better, provided lunch, a barbecue, got our hopes up for beef or pork barbecue but it was more hamburgers (which were good but had them too often)

Disembarkation

Pizza place and of course room service are open 24 hours. Otherwise the restaurants are only open between 5am and 11pm.
