Shuttle service Nassau - from ship to town

[marilynd]

I don't remember from last year when I was on the Dawn. Is there a shuttle from where the Dawn is docked into the town. I remember that there was quite a long walk into town.

A recent Disney cruise line passenger told me that she had a little golf cart like shuttle from the ship to the town.

Is there something like that? After a day of shopping it would be nice to not have to walk back to the ship.

Hi,

We were just there on Saturday and I didn't see any shuttle from the ship to the passenger center. Once you get out of the center it's all taxis and vans.

There is a little shuttle on the Pier that takes you to the reception center. The reception center is really right in town. There is a shopping street and the straw Market is less than a 10 minute walk. We walked down to the Hilton Hotel which is about another 5 minute walk. Taking the shuttle to the reception center may save you a 5-10 minute walk depending on which dock your ship is at. There is a shuttle stop on each pier and in front of the reception center. But as I said its an easy walk.

There is definitely a shuttle service. Be sure to ask about it. when we were there in Sept. it was a bus. It can be a long walk in the heat and if you are carrying dive stuff or shopping bags. Because of security taxis cannot go on the pier so the shuttle is a real help.

Thanks all for the information. It will make shopping easier if we can ride rather than carrying SO MANY - HEAVY packages. LOL

Here's to shopping !!!!!!
