AandD Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 We have a cruise in early December that will stop at both Grand Bahama and Nassau. We would like to walk over and see the Queens staircase. But I have read that crime may be up in that area of Nassau. Anybody been there recently? Has anybody done the Nassau Highlights excursion thru Royal? And any suggestions on Grand Bahama beaches or Royal excursions on Grand Bahama? Thanks Adriana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jipis Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Sailing the 8-night Enchantment leaving Dec 1? Us, too. We haven't planned out either of the Bahamian stops yet. I'm thinking we'll hit (probably walk to) John Watling's Distillery. And maybe walk a tour of Parliament Square, Queen’s Staircase, and Fort Fincastle as recommended at https://www.pedalgoa.com/travel/cruise/things-to-do-nassau-bahamas-cruise-port/. As for safety, hadn't even considered it. Maybe we'll see if anyone else is interested in walking those plus the distillery with us for some safety in numbers?? As for Freeport... Not a clue. Maybe that'll be our beach day. (I'm really only good for one per cruise, as a not-a-beach-person.) The only other thing I've thought to do is perhaps visit a fire station. It's a vollie-FF thing...

KristiZ Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 We walked ourselves to all the places in Nassau both of you are mentioning and had no issue. Daylight, plus lots of people out and about, doing their people thing. We did not feel unsafe at all! Jipis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the Serenade on the 3rd, else I would hook up with you. Thanks, anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
