if you want to see anything at this port you must either book an excursion or get a cab or other transportation. there is nothing at the port

Nassau, Bahamas

It's great to visit the market and the local shops. Stay in the tourist area though as the state department has issued safety warnings for travelers.

Thumbs Up 5

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

We ellected to do the self assist disembarkation, if you pack properly and only bring enough bags that you can handle, this is a great option. its quick to get off the ship and quick to get through customs.
