On September 11th ^

A morning in paradise (overlooking RCI's Coco Cay):

I just like the angle.

Love the water.

Sunset, pulling away from the island.

Ebandive, what camera do you use? Your photos are amazing!

My pictures are nothing compares to everybody else's, but I have always loved these pictures from our Miracle cruise.

Just got back from my cruise, with Nassau being one of the stops, and I did the walking tour. It was really fun and I thank you for taking the time to post the information.

We took our time, went in almost everything we could, and even with getting lost a few times it only took us about 4 hours. It can definitly be done in an hour or two.

I will make a post with all of my pictures later, thanks again!

Hello all! I will be in Nassau in a couple days and I can't wait to do this!

Quick question, is Graycliff Hotel near anything on this tour? I would like to visit the "Cigar Factory" at this hotel but I have no idea where it is in relation to the tour.

Thanks!

We're both very healthy 21-year-old college students. We could definitly do it at a fast pace, but I still wanted to make sure it was doable in around the 2-3 hours like pointed out.

Thanks!

Anybody have a Sensation pin that I could purchase? I am sailing her next month and I was very disappointed to find out that they no longer have them.

Also, what price do you think would be too much to spend on one from Ebay? Is $10 reasonable, because I see one that I need for that amount after shipping.

Thanks

Anybody able to answer my question in my previous post? Just anxious to figure it out! :D

"So the tour that the OP did can be done in 2 hours?

Me and my girlfriend will be in Nassau off of the Sensation from 7am-6am. Do you think it's posssible to get off the boat, spend 2-3 doing the OP's walking tour, then head over to Atlantis and check out the Digs, casino, maybe just go look at the beach, and then head back to the boat?

I think that would be really fun so let me know if you guys think it would be easy to pull of!

The tour that is described at the begininng of this thread took my wife and I around 2 hours each time we did it this past year.

We are both around 40. (me slightly over and my wife significantly under. ;) )

We are in decent shape, but not gym rats or exercise regulary.

 

We had no problems with the minor uphill portion of the tour. (the majority of it is downhill after the Queen's Staricase/Fort Fincastle)

 

The one thing I will advise, is that it does get very hot, so bring some water with you.

 

This past trip to Nassau (less than a month ago) we skipped the walking tour (since we were in port a shorter time) and checked out the Ardastra Gardens and Zoo and loved the place.

The Marching Flamingo show was pretty interesting, but getting to feed the Lorry Parrots was amazing.

I had 2-3 on my hat, 2-3 on each arm and occasionaly one on my back.

MY Wife took a ton of pictures and I had a blast feeding them for 45 minutes or so.

 

As for Atlantis, alot of suggestions would depend on what time you will be in port.

 

Our first two trips we were on the Sensation and were in Nassau from 7AM until 7AM the next morning.

So we did the walking tour, first thing in the morning, right at 7AM-9 or 10AM, while it was cooler (it was still hot by 10AM), then went to the British Colonial Hilton, paid $15 each for their wonderful daypass to use their pool and beach for the day.

Then we made the arduous :D 15 minute walk from our BCH poolside loungers, back to our cabin on the Sensation.

Showered, changed, ate dinner, then headed out and caught a cab to Atlantis.

The cab cost us $5 per person, each way. (they will wait until they fill the van up or close to it)

The Mall area (Versace, etc.) and Casino are free to visitors all day.

After 6PM (when we were there, sometimes, it is a bit later in season) the guards at the entrance to the Digs Aquarium go home and you can enter it for free.

During the day it costs $29 per person. (which to us, wouldn't be worth it. It was nice for free though)

 

I would strongely advise if your ship is in port late (like the Sensation and Celebration are) definitely do Atlantis in the evening.
