aurelius180 Posted April 26, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I can't speak for certainty as I don't live down there, but just about every time I've been there it's called for rain. This rain usually occurs around 4pm for about 15 minutes (if at all). We were married in Nassau last June and it rained that day for about 15 minutes. By the time the ceremony started it was HOT as heck and sunny! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PH8 Posted April 26, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's the tropics......if it rains,it probably won't be all day........as far as shopping,it is mostly on the main street(Bay) and you can duck into the shops as you go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhorn1209 Posted April 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I've been watching the weather also. I leave on the Fascination Saturday! This is my moms first cruise also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurelius180 Posted April 27, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I try not to pay too much attention to the location weather any more before leaving for vacation. It generally always calls for rain and it's not usually much of anything. Nothing you can do about it anyway...just go and make the best of whatever is thrown your way! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttdelellis Posted April 30, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Well just got back it rained all day Saturday and Sunday we were unable to stop at cocco cay yesterday and you couldn't really go on the decks. We still had a good time but I feel bad for mom.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means you need to book another cruise so that she can visit what you missed. :) In all seriousness, though, I'm glad you were able to make the best of it. Rain caused a bit of a problem when we were in Belize once but we were just happy to be on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it rains I guess you only need a bathing suit and a drink!! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellgoodman Posted May 1, 2012 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have friends at the Atlantis right now and they paid all that money for rain the entire week. They spending even more money at the casino and bars so the trip is literally a wash out. They're happy to be away but this morning she spent $33 on a coffee, grapefruit and a bagel. She did say on Facebook that there was a peek of sun this morning so she was running outside to actually see it. Stinks to spend money on a full week of rain (especially in the ultra expensive Bahamas) but at least on a cruise there are other stops with some hope of sun. Hope you have a good vacation with some R & R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navigator71 Posted May 1, 2012 #16 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'll be in Nassua 2 weeks today! Norwegian Gem there for the day. I booked the Colonial Hilton Day Pass and while I'm nervous about rain and no refund.:( The quote of "guess all you need in the rain is a swim suit and a drink" has brought a big smile to my face!!! I will remember and do that if it does rain!!! And yes, I will tell myself over and over, "I'm on vacation"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwende Posted May 1, 2012 #17 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Just off NCL Sky for the weekend. Rained the entire time!!! Excursions were cancelled for their private island. We did the Atlantis waterpark in the rain. No lines! Felt like we had the place to ourselves! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
