Cruise Tips: Nassau, Bahamas

​Is your cruise stopping in Nassau, Bahamas?
​Spend less money and have a fun day at the Beach!

Vacations are coming up and we hear many of our friends are going on cruises, having Nassau, Bahamas as one their stops.  If you have previously been there, you might not even want to get off the ship.  The stores, the straw market and Senor Frogs... what else is there to do?  Here is our recommendation for a fun day in the island without spending much money.

​You can spend a wonderful day at the beach to experience one of the most beautiful scenes of white sand and clear, light blue water you have ever seen. 
​
  1. First, plan ahead, before the cruise, and take a cooler for your drinks and food.  Best kind is the ones that look like a purse, since you can fit them in the luggage and they don't stand out while walking through the ship.  Also take some plastic cups so you don't have to buy them there.
  2. The night before arriving in Nassau, start preparing the food for your lunch at the beach.  Normally late at night, around 10 pm, there are nice sandwiches in the casino or in the top deck of the ship.  Grab some and keep them for the next day.
  3. The morning of, during breakfast, grab some more food, cookies, fruits, make more sandwiches.  Take them all in a bag with enough napkins.
  4. Get off the ship and go to the downtown area.  If you want some drinks, find one of the liquor stores and get your rum or beer.  Then go to the super market which is on one of the side streets, not far from the port exit.  Here you can buy coke for your rum, some chips to complement your sandwiches and a bag of ice.  Here is where the cooler comes in handy.  Put your ice in your purse cooler to carry to the beach. 
  5. Take a taxi or water taxi to paradise island. You are looking for Cabbage Beach, a public beach next to the Atlantis hotel.  If you do take the water taxi, which we recommend you do at least once for the fun experience and stories about houses of the rich and famous, be aware that you will have quite a walk to the beach from where they let you off.  If you are walking, go through the stores toward the Atlantis hotel.  Enter hotel and walk past the lobby to the convention area.  Once you get there, exit off the convention area and the beach entrance will be on the left of the hotel.  If you take a taxi, take it right at the port exit, usually $4 per person since you share the ride.  If you try to take a taxi from the downtown area, they might ask for more money.
  6. Once at the beach you can rent an umbrella to set up your picnic area underneath.  Enjoy the water, the sun, the scenery.  Make your drinks, eat your food, and enjoy a great day at the beach with minimal expenses!
