Review summary

I will never go back to Nassau. I would think that most people Dont enjoy getting hassstled or taken advantage of on their vacation. There are so many people trying to get you to spend money on their services(carriage ride,taxi,water sports,hair braiding,drugs,etc) you are approached by at least 20 men as soon as you leave the port which is very intimidating for women. We just did not have a good time there. The sea days were also,quite boring we went to a few shows but other than eating, sleeping,or going in hot tub we weren't very interested in,the activities. Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay were amazing I just wish we had a longer time to stay at those islands instead of as along as we stayed at Nassau.

Our air conditioner didn't work.the cabin crew had to come take the thing apart for us to get some air and brought us a huge fan, but it still wasn't blowing much air so,we didn't spend a lot of time in cabin because we would sweat to death.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

Nassau, Bahamas

Only good thing I can say is water is beautiful but city is nasty and lots of men swarm you when you get off to spend money and take advantage of your money for their services. Very uncomfortable place we will,never go back.

we took the taxi tour and he took us to the straw market on top of the hill which is better than the one by the ocean then to Atlantis to look around, and we spent the rest of the time at Saunders beach and it was beautiful

We were near the straw market, and the street Senior Frogs is on. That place is fantastic by the way, loved the Tequila shot games at 1030 am lol . I just chalked it up to an experience and went on about my day.

Nassau is awful , while I understand people are trying to make a living, at one point we were offered drugs and hookers. We did get some good deals in the little shops but I was not a fan of being followed around the whole time we were there, we ended up getting back on the ship after an hour of being on the island . Next time we are gonna go to a private resort now that Iv got to see things

Those people there may be asking you for money LOL but they are the nicest people I've ever met in a tourist place.

you should be more understanding and realize that is a tourist destination and that is how most of them make a living, keep in mind some people may not have the privileges you have....be thankful not non greatful
