Nassau Cruise Reviews

Been to Nassau to many times; however, authorities are definitely doing major renovations to the cruise port/terminal; basically, rebuilding from scratch. Margaritaville has completed a new hotel and beach area since our last visit, which definitely improved and revitalized waterfront. Local beach and facilities still remain past Margaritaville complex. ...

Walked to nearby Junkanoo Beach (about 10-15 minute walk). Enjoyed the beach and had no problems swimming there or having anyone bother us. Friendly interactions with the locals! Walking to/from the beach we did have people approach us to sell items, but a nice "no thanks" worked. ...

Great shopping and steel drum band in the park. Decorated nicely for Christmas ...

Walked around and found a great spa called Baha Retreat and had a wonderful aromatherapy massage and a spa pedicure. I then walked around Nassau and picked up a few souvenirs, some ice cream and rum cakes. ...

Right now, they are reconstructing the pier to fit 12 ships, so there will be a lot of jackhammers around. We took a taxi to the beach at Baha Mar -- we were the only cruise ship passengers on that beach. Highly recommend! ...

The good news: most of the shops (included the straw market) have reopened. The bad news: the pushy taxi drivers and people selling things on the street are back. Next time I am not going to bother getting off the ship at Nassau. ...

Construction going on a port. Pushy people trying to sell hair braids and trinkets and taxi rides. US embassy under major construction. Walked up to the Queen's steps through some sketchy neighborhoods with no sidewalks. "Custodian" of the steps forced us to listen to his spiel and requested a tip after. It ended up being pretty good and we indeed tipped him, but I don't like being lied ...

Early arrival (7am) on Day 1 departed at 1 pm. We didn't get off, but it was picturesque. ...

We didn't get off the ship. There is a lot of pier construction no transportation to or from the ship and it's a crazy long walk you also have to wear your mask and take your vaccination card with you. ...

The port area of Nassau is under construction and not very nice to look at. We docked at 7am and stores were not open until later. Not a lot to do besides shop in the immediate area. You need to take you Vax Card with you as well as ID as it could be asked for in shops and dining there. ...
