Nassau Suggestions

[ksmith61]

Cruising on Oasis next month and looking for Nassau suggestions. I find excursions to be overpriced and have no desire to go to Atlantis. Really leaning towards staying on the ship this time to avoid the overbearing locals. Anyone have suggestions for other options? We would love to relax somewhere but not sure of the options. Thanks for your help.

You could always go to Junkanoo, which is free.

 

I personally went to Ardastra earlier this month. It's a short bus ride from the port and is pretty fun and a relaxing, quiet day. You can find more in my trip report here http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2472381

There is a Ports of Call board for questions like this, you may want to browse over there. I haven't yet been to Nassau so I can't offer any first-hand experience or suggestions.

Stay on the ship.

Any one day passes worth the price? Ship leaving at 3:00 PM.

We bought day passes to the Melia on Cable Beach last year. Very reasonable and a gorgeous resort!

If you want a great place for a beverage and some good bahamian cooking, go to the "Bearded Clam", very close to port. I make it there even if that's the only thing I do in Nassau.

We really enjoyed the Blue Lagoon excursion. It wasn't a long stay but had a nice few hours on the beach.

I second this.

I was just there. Stay on the ship.

Having been there and being totally underwhelmed, with hindsight I'd stay on the ship. We overlooked the gangway. All aboard was 2.30pm. At this time there were still about 300 passengers queueing to board. By 3.30 (bearing in mind we should have left at 3) the golfcarts were racing up and down the pier trying to find 'missing' passengers. At 3.40 we left...just as a couple turned up and missed the ship. When we arrived in St Thomas, we asked one of the security guys on the gangplank if the 2 passengers were re joining. He said " What do you mean 2...11 people missed the ship!!". I think some people regretted trying to sleep off their early alcoholic lunch!!

I wonder if one can get to Blue Lagoon on your own?

Stay on the ship while everyone else get's off the boat so you can have it to yourself. Great massage specials too!
