Nassau, The Bahamas


Nassau was our second stop on our first Cruise in 2012.

Josh and I weren't big fans of Nassau for a few reasons but I think we would have enjoyed our time there more if we had booked a day in Atlantis.  If we ever go back, this is what we'll do.  I wouldn't recommend trying to do Nassau on your own like we did.  I do, however, recommend spending some time at Senor Frogs before you leave!  It really is as crazy and fun as everyone says!  We spent a good part of our day here and it really did save the day for us!




When we arrived on the island, we figured we'd just find a beach, but that didn't happen.  So, we caught a taxi with some other cruisers and figured we'd go to Atlantis and just purchase an excursion there.  Well, after standing in a line that literally did not move for 30 minutes we just figured we'd ask where a public beach is and go there. 




We were told that there was one right next to Atlantis, so that's where we went.  And since Josh had never haggled before, he payed way to much for some loungers and umbrellas.  The beach was pretty though and we spent a few hours there before we decided we needed food.  Plus we were pretty much the only people on this beach and it felt kind of weird.




We left the beach and caught another taxi at Atlantis and had him take us to Senor Frogs, which happened to be a short walk from where we were docked.  Also, we were so mad when we found out that there is a public beach right behind Senor Frogs.   We had some great food and a few drinks and just hung out at Senor Frogs for the rest of the afternoon.  We also had the best waitress and I definitely wrote an email to them about how great she was.  She told us she'd only been there for about a month.



















We thought the Disney ship looked so neat!  We'll definitely be checking out Disney Cruises in the future!

Overall, we weren't too crazy about Nassau and if we went back we'd definitely book a day at Atlantis and then just hit up Senor Frogs again for some food before getting back on our ship.

  1. At least your food was good and the sights are pretty, even if it wasn't the best stop!

  4. I see a Disney ship! Yeah, Nassau isn't the best port stop and if I was on a stop there I'd probably stay on the ship!

  5. We took a Disney cruise in 2012 (on the same ship in your pictures BTW!) and I never left the ship. My husband left long enough to buy some duty-free alcohol but that was it, Nassau just looks skeevy unless you pay to go to Atlantis. Disney cruises are awesome!

  8. Haha Senor Frogs! I see people wearing those shirts all the time. And that's so nice that you wrote an email about your waitress - I feel like people in customer service need to be praised more often! Usually people are just complaining about them. Thanks for linking up again!
