    We were very efficient!! It might have been closer to 5 hours by the time we meandered back to the ship 🤣

    Nassau Bahamas looked unreal it's beautiful I loved the staircase made from 1 rock but sad built by slaves. Forts looked lovely great views and good price. Very informative as usual 👏

    Super cool place to visit in person! Very different from Nassau in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag.

    I went to Nassau like 20 years ago. But I flew there with my family and stayed at the Atlantis. I’ve always loved the colorful buildings there. And I love trying to runs of the Caribbean. So I would love to go to the rum tasting! Cheers!

    Nassau was just substituted for Labadee on my December cruise, and I was pretty bummed thinking that there was nothing to do there. BOY WAS I WRONG! Thanks for this informative video.

    Nassau! I want to do the Bahamas so bad. I love taking ideas from other tours and then incorporating my own spin and my own take. The road up the Queens Staircase looks awesome. The government house is some amazing architecture. The umbrellas lining the heritage village streets remind me of Mexico. Meh wineries are more fun than museums anyway 😁. Nassau has an interesting history. From Spanish, French, British and Pirates. Mmm Caribbean Rum. Fort Charlotte looks cool.

    So, now that you've tried cruise tours and self-guided tours which do you prefer most? It looks like you saw a lot more self-guided.

    Honestly I like a bit of both. This one we really saw a lot and could go at our own pace. But we also walked through some areas that maybe we shouldn't have. So I do like the idea of being with a small from that standpoint. And if we ever go anywhere that's farther from the cruise ship, I'd probably still book through the ship so we don't risk getting left behind 😬

    We felt pretty safe in most areas. Some spots we walked through did not feel safe to us, and I think that was our own fault for not researching where we were walking.

  • @KJFTravelAdventures
    @KJFTravelAdventures5 ай бұрын

    Other than the lack of sidewalks, did you feel safe/comfortable walking around Nassau 'unguided'? I know there is a lot of talk on cruise ship forums about Nassau as a cruise stop and it not being the safest place to explore.

    How are they handling the security outside the new port? I'll be there in August.

    We didn't really notice a lot of security outside of the port... except to get back into the port area itself.

    @TheAverageTourist No incidents. I know they're at level 2 but we're at level 2 in the US. So that's not saying much. Everything was safe?

    Nassau looks beautiful but...do people actually live there? No one ever makes videos showing us the neighborhoods, the locals and their homes, their lical stores or malls, their schools. All we ever see are the touristy places. There's got to be more to the Bahamas than this.
