Nassau Overnight?

[KhaturtleQueen]

We are porting in Nassau overnight in June on our cruise.  I have heard that Nassau has a high crime rate.  What does everyone suggest to do overnight in Nassau?  Better to just head back to the ship when it gets dark?  We are first time cruisers - my spouse and I only.

We would either go back to the ship when it begins to get dark or take an excursion offered by the ship.

We stayed overnight and just returned to the ship for an early dinner and stayed there.

We took a cab to the Atlantis casino after we arrived and and returned in time for dinner on the ship.  The next day we headed over to the Melia for a beach day.

I agree with those who already mentioned - head back to the ship by dark. During the day time just use common sense (not flashing around expensive jewelry or money and not wandering alone away from the ship). We always do our own thing in Nassau during the day but I wouldn't be out walking around after dark, unless you book an excursion from the ship and are in a group. 🙂
