*QUESTION* - _Is Nassau a see or skip port for you?_

We always like to get off the ship to experience the port. But our besties sometimes enjoy staying onboard. Perhaps someday I'll do that, but for now, I want to ADVENTURE at port! We've only been to Nassau twice, once was a girls trip where we walked to the Queen's Staircase and up to Fort Fincastle (this was a great affordable option); also have done an all-inclusive resort at Breezes with our family. Looking at heading over to Blue Lagoon with a cruiseline excursion at our next stop.

1st trip we stayed in the tourist area within 3 blocks of the cruise port. 2nd trip we walked to Junkanoo Beach where we were hassled to buy trinkets the whole time and spent a small mint at Senior Frogs. 3rd trip we stayed on the boat and enjoyed the crowd-free environment. With the new warnings we don't plan to get off there on any future cruises.

3000 steps is over a half a mile walk; add the terminal and it is over a mile walk; Forget about as too tired to go into town

More people in the port should have been impressed with that 3D show.

Tony, thanks for the Nassau port tour. Looks like they’ve done a great job of creating an experience for travelers who were nervous about the port because they’d heard about the aggressive sales tactics.

@@candiceb8284 Absolutely. Just being aware is worth so much when it comes to safety. Sprinkle in some good ole’ fashioned common sense and you manage to keep clear of most unsafe things. There is so much to see and enjoy when you approach an area like a local as opposed to a tourist.

We love the new port in Nassau! It feels so much safer than before! Was a skip but now a get off the ship! Great video!!!

I sure enjoyed your pier/port walk! I can remember when all that walking would have had you breathing harder. You are really getting FIT! 😊

I didn't enjoy our last visit to Nassau, but the new port looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing the cool 3D show.

TONY , your on fire dude. That was one of the best videos you’ve ever made. My family will be on MSC Divina and in Nassau on Friday. Can’t wait ! THANK YOU…….

Hi Tony. Greated by a giant "towel elephant" in Nassau 😊. That is a very cool screen! The port looks so much more inviting than in the past. Yes, I would get off the ship now with the new port. That is a crazy amount of money, WOW! Thank you for all you do ❤

Thanks for taking us through there Tony! I haven’t been since they finished it so I loved seeing how it’s changed!

Greatly Matt and your joint blog. Thank you both😎

Hi Tony ! Loved the video and the Nassau updates! Hope your trip is the Best, travel safe and enjoy!

You needed a picture with the giant elephant towel animal you walked past as you left the ship 😊

Thanks, Tony. Loved the tour of the port. Can’t wait to experience it. ❤️🛳️

We are going to Nassau in October and had planned not to get off the ship but after seeing this video we will be getting off the ship. We were so tired of the hassle that it wasn’t worth our time to get off. This is a welcome change. Thanks for letting us know about this wonderful upgrade.

Wow! The Nassau Port has really changed since I was last there in 2021. It’s glorious! Excellent video Tony! 🎉

Thanka for the tour of the new port area, Tony! I haven't been since they finished the remodel.

Thanks for the break from the freezing winter weather at home. Love the stroll through the port market. Sun, sea and even grass! Warmed me up just watching.

Thanks, Tony! I love when you do these videos! This port is beautiful!

Thanks for this tour - the port area looks nicely done.

We were just there last week and did the Pirates Museum on George street. Then we had some beers at the cafe outside of the museum. Love those Radler beers, guava, passion fruit, cranberry, etc..!

Great video Tony! Definitely helpful and you showed that there are a lot of things to do right there in Port! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the great tour of the new Nassau Bahamas cruise port! The last few times my husband & I visited Nassau, it was in the middle of completion. We remember seeing the various buildings being painted those beautiful bright colors and the outdoor stage area. So cool to see it finished and so much more inviting!

We loved it Tony. Great walkie you did. Thank you ❤️

Thanks for sharing Tony. It bought back memories. We went to the Blue Lagoon Island for our excursion few years ago. Also, we went to the Atlantis. Those are huge ships side by side. I enjoyed this video.

That was a great tour of Nassau, Tony! We've been wondering what it was like since all of the work had been done there. It's really nice. I think there will be lots more people getting off their ships now. I think we will feel a lot more comfortable/secure about going ashore. Thanks for sharing all of this with us, Tony!!

Last time we stopped at Nassau they were under construction in that area. We got off and saw the mess and got right back in the ship. Looks good now, so next time I’ll get off. Thanks for the tour.

CA- Rooosin!! OMGOMGOMG! Tony! What a fun video! Loved the side by side of the ships and especially the 3D screen with the shark! How fun was that? Thankyou!

Tony this was one of the most fun videos you’ve done in a while! Loved seeing all the ships and people! The screen was soooo cool! Looking forward to going back there. It was all still under construction in Jan 2023.

We were in Nassau just two weeks ago and that yacht was there also! The new port is beautiful and relaxing. We walked down to the end and sat on a bench for awhile and people watched. No one bothered us. We also went out to the straw market and had to say no thanks many times but everyone respected that. The new port allows you to stretch your legs, get fresh air and buy something without harassment so I say it's a definite get off the ship port now. Great video!

Good afternoon Tony! Hope you have a great cruise!

I am so happy that you made this video, I was actually passing up cruises that stopped in Nassau because of the horrible experience we had there in the past. Now I know this could be a very pleasant place to visit once again in the future.

Thanks for the video. It's looks so much better than before. Can't wait to see it.

Loved seeing the 3D screen on the pier. Thanks Tony. 👍😀🩵

It is beautiful what they have done there… but, we were there in 07…. it was so quaint and cool. There was even a taxi church there we got to be apart of early in the morning. Yes… you did get bombarded at first and almost run over at times. We are hopeless romantics and loved it as it was back then!

Awesome, informative video. Enjoyed it a lot! Thank you for all you do

Wow, what an amazing job they’ve done finishing the Nassau Cruise Port. Haven’t been there since January 2023. $300 mil is a lot of money, and it looks well spent. Those six ships have to have brought in close to 25k passengers for the day in Nassau. I’m loving the multiple exits, enabling you to pop out at different locals, avoiding the high pressure hassles. Thanks for doing this spectacular video. I’m sure you got in a ton of steps doing this one. Thanks for all that you and Jennie B do for the Cruising Community.

Happy Travels Thank You for sharing.

Great tour of the port Tony, I really enjoyed seeing this video.

I was on the Carnival Liberty and in Nassau on February 17 when you were. Wish I had known you were there. I stayed on the ship because we have been to Nassau so many times and we just wanted to enjoy the Carnival Liberty while most of the guests were off ship. Thanks for the video. you are doing some great work.

Tug boats are fascinating, because they’re small but powerful and highly maneuverable! A couple weeks ago I was on the Venezia videotaping a tug pushing us into Pier 88, and that tugboat moved sideways! I didn’t know they could do that!

Our first trip to Nassau was Feb 2023. I was not impressed and did not want to return. The port was still under construction. There where people everywhere trying to get you to buy thing. I will now be returning to Nassau for a visit. Thank you Tony!!!!!

Thanks for this video of Nassau! I really enjoyed it. I usually stay on the ship at Nassau but after seeing this, I will want to explore the port area ... Loved this

Thank you for the informative tour Tony! Enjoyed it! 😊

We've been to Nassau twice since their main shopping district (Bay Street) became a ghost town. Our first time back, we witnessed a group of religious zealots harass a family (with children) because there were two adult women in the group. Some very homophobic ranting was involved. We told a local cop about it; he laughed. The second time, we visited "Diamonds International" near Hard Rock. We bought a loose diamond, and they told us to carry it in a pocket, while they gave us a "dummy" bag to carry as a decoy for theft. One of their security guards escorted us back to our ship. If our next cruise includes a trip to Nassau, we're staying onboard. Years ago, you could walk to Paradise Island from the port. Now, you're risking your life.

@@Gottaknow - I wish you'd had the pleasure of seeing it "before", on Bay Street; right on the ocean. Sidewalk cafés with local food, discount outlet stores for crystal, locally-made crafts, jewelry, even a Burger King. It was absolutely beautiful to walk all the way from the (current) port to the double "high arch" bridges to Paradise Island. It was postcard beautiful. That's a high-crime area now with posted advisories on-site. And the current tourist areas are just for shopping; the dining is questionable. Although, there was still a "Hard Rock" there during out last (and final) visit in 2019. But who wants American food when traveling to The Bahamas? Also, I'm glad you weren't harrassed. Since you didn't have kids with you, you weren't perceived as a "family." Good for you. I'm glad you had a good time.

I remember that area, back in the 1980's. I watched Atlantas being built in several stages. Walked up past the government house and the chocolate factorytour area. No one bothered us but very creepy. We were there April 2

Thanks for posting this, it was much needed in Nassau ❤

This was actually the most informative cruise video I have seen in a while. I didn’t realize how extensive the renovations were and that they weren’t just cosmetic. I’m actually looking forward to getting off the ship next time and checking it out. Thanks.

Love these ship spotting videos! Brings me back to stepping off a ship and exploring ports

Hey, Tony! Thanks so much for sharing the best look at the new Nassau cruise port we've seen so far. The last time we were there, late 2021, there was nothing like this, and we experienced all of the "harassing" you mentioned. Plus with all of the travel advisories/warnings about being careful in Nassau lately, we might have felt like we wanted to skip it entirely later this year. But thanks to you and this look, I think we can spend a pleasant little bit of time off the ship at this port. Thanks!

The tank graphics were so cool! Thanks for sharing! Amazing ❤

Great video - always wanted to see Nassau port even if only virtually right now. That screen sea show was cool!

Hi Tony What a nice look see you gave us of the port. We were there last august and it’s very nice. We did the straw market as well. As with any port I’d say be mindful of your surroundings but I think I’d like to go back again. I love seeing all those ships in port.

That immersive screen was really cool!!! Enjoyed the pier, Tony.

Been a few years since we last went to Nassau, looks beautiful. Booked a cruise next February, Nassau is a port, so now I'm very excited, thank you Tony!!

Nice video Tony and I hope you're enjoying your short Vista cruise. It is nice to see that Nassau has built a port area where people can get off the ship and walk around a bit and feel safe. I still don't have much desire to return but it is nice to know that this exists now. This is quite different than getting off the ship when I last visited Nassau in 2018.

Oh my gosh Tony I loved seeing the 3D screen! We haven't been to the new port so it was fun to see everything. I always love seeing the different ships docked together. Thank you for a great video!

Love your content Tony. Visited Nassau last Saturday Feb 10th on the carnival Liberty. Popped into the port area for a quick souvenir for my mom who joined us on the cruise. Missed the Grand opening of the new port by a couple of weeks last year. Heading to Princess cay, Grand Turk and Amber cove in May. Keep the videos coming, enjoy your views.

Thank you Tony!! Nice video of the port and all to see and do. Yes I would get off to shop and check out the new port.

Enjoyed seeing the ships along your walk down the pier. Having the shaded areas along the way makes it nicer. The aquarium screen show was fun and the update to the port looks great! The water is so blue and the whole area at the port is a big improvement. People should get off the ship. I would like to check out that museum.

Thank you for an excellent tour. I would definitely get off the ship! Sending blessings and good days ahead.

I really enjoyed your video on Nassau cruise port. I am going there in April so it's good to know the changes made there. I also love ships of all kinds !!

Great video Tony!! We were in Nassau last year but took an excursion to Blue Lagoon and didn’t venture into the new area, it looks really nice. Heading back next year and will definitely hop off the ship and look around.

AWESOME show on the screen, we really enjoyed that. We will stop and watch that when we go on the Elation in April. Can’t wait to see the new area.

Thanl you! We will be there in a week. Im looking forward to it .

Thank you for posting this, Tony!! I was never a fan of Nassau and normally stayed on the ship because i didn't want to be haggled by having to go through the straw market. It looks like they did a great job with revitalizing the port! I'm now looking forward to my next cruise to Nassau!

Tony thank you for showing me this nasua excersions. Very interesting

Love the walk and talks. Keep them coming!

I've only visited Nassau once on a cruise, and it was my first ever cruise a few years back. I heard about the redevelopment of the port, and did worry it was going to make the area very commercialised and spoil it, but I really like what you've shown us here. That 3D screen you showed us - WOW!

Thank You Tony! I appreciate you showing the new port area. I’ll get off to see it the next time we stop in Nassau!

I have been to Nassau a few times in the past and been there seen that. But your video gave me incentive to want to visit this port once again. Thank you Tony.

Thank you for the tour! I will consider making another trip there. I was scared so greatly my first time there that I have never had the desire to go back.

This video really makes me ready to get back to work. I absolutely love cruising. I just truly believe cruising is the best way to go on vacation. Everything you need is in one location. I miss Nassau. Thanks for all you do

The new port looks beautiful. Thanks for the video tour.

Thank you for the video, I am cruising to Nassau next month and it is great knowing what to expect.

Thanks for showing Liberty OTS. We will be on her in May and looking forward to it!

Funny comment. I always bob my head left to right, up & down during the intro. Thank you Tony & the marvelous Jenny B. Great show every day..

While I have sailed on about 20 different cruises/cruiselines, I never tire of seeing the ships parked at the piers. Exciting, exhilarating and just plain fun! Thanks for the tour Tony.

I way loved the tour, absolutely including the aquarium screen!

This was great, Tony. Thank you.

Such a hike! I do love all the covered area and benches they’ve added. Love the big screen in port.
