Nassau, Bahamas

Our cruise took us to Nassau in the Bahamas as our first port of call. We didn’t really know what we wanted to do, so we just ended up getting off the ship and taking a cab over to Paradise Island, and going to Atlantis.

The whole area looked sketchy between the ship and Paradise Island.

At Atlantis we did their aquarium, shopped a little, ate then came back to the ship.

Honestly, this was a waste of a day for us. We vowed never to book a cruise going to Nassau again. It’s a dump and a waste of money. Freeport is even worse! If we had to go back, we’d stay on the ship and enjoy the emptiness of the ship.

I just feel bad for new cruisers who go to Nassau only on their cruise and think that’s what all destinations are like. It’s not. If you’re looking to book a cruise, skip any that only go to Nassau and/or Freeport in the Bahamas. Very overrated.
