Frequently Asked Questions
At Prince George Wharf, whose berths open directly onto Bay Street, the downtown main artery, five minutes' walk away. The rebuilt port greets passengers with music, a craft market and the Junkanoo museum as soon as they leave the gangway.
Yes, for the essentials: the historic quarter, the markets and even a beach are within walking distance. Only Paradise Island requires a taxi or a water taxi.
The Queen's Staircase and Fort Fincastle, about ten minutes from the pier; a loop of the colonial centre by Bay Street and Parliament Square; then the beach, Junkanoo Beach a quarter of an hour on foot or Cabbage Beach ten minutes by taxi.
A flight of 66 steps hand-cut in the late 18th century by enslaved labourers, at the end of a shaded gorge carved into the limestone. It was later renamed for Queen Victoria, whose reign saw abolition. The spot is cool and green, and carries a history local guides tell well.
An unusual structure shaped like a ship's prow, at the top of the Queen's Staircase, watching over the town and harbour. The neighbouring water tower marks the island's highest point, and the view takes in the whole anchorage.
The night parade of flamboyant costumes, cowbells and goatskin drums, which normally erupts on 26 December and 1 January. Out of season, the museum beside the port gives a convincing sense of it, with monumental costumes and workshops. It is the best key to understanding Bahamian culture.
Junkanoo Beach starts a quarter of an hour's walk from the ship: decent sand, easygoing beach bars, chairs for hire. For the full picture, Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island offers powdery sand ten minutes away by taxi or water taxi.
Conch, the national speciality, at the Arawak Cay counters, the local Fish Fry: as fritters, in lime-dressed salad or grilled. Worth trying at least once.
The Bahamian dollar, at par with the US dollar which is accepted everywhere, and English. Taxis post their fares; cards work in shops in the centre.
Yes. The Atlantis resort on Paradise Island sells day passes to its water park and aquariums; the Pirates museum amuses children; and the beaches are close. Nassau is among the busiest cruise calls in the world: expect crowds, which the city takes in stride.
