help. Can't decide what to do in Nassau. It will be me and my sister and granddaughters ages 11 and 12.
On our first cruise to Nassau we stayed on the ship. This next time we are going to do a day pass at the Hilton. I've heard too many stories of Atlantis being overly crowded so don't want to waste the money going there and then not being able to do much.
We had 11 family members (5 kids) who did the dolphin encounter at Blue Lagoon. Loved it! The beach is really nice and the boat ride was fun. You can spend as much time as you want on the island. You cannot book directly with Blue Lagoon if they know you are coming on a cruise. You can book with ShoreTrips.com though - that's what we did. We saved money over booking with the cruise line and we were not in a big group. It really was a great day. I think your granddaughters would have an amazing time.
Hmmm. How does ShoreTrips.com ting work?
Agree with pick a DCL excursion that looks enjoyable and go with it. On CC when our girls were 12, we were so busy that a cabana would have been a waste. There are so many beach loungers we had no problem setting up where we wanted and spent very little time there. With bicycles, snorkeling, pelican plunge swimming, eating, game hut and exploring we were way to busy to sit around.
Has anyone been to the pirate museum? I was thinking of going there with my 7 and 9 year olds.
I wouldn't bring passports off the ship in nassau.Welllll, I've about decided to go off ship just long enough to purchase a few souvenirs and let the grands get a feel for the pushy nature of the vendors then get their passport books stamped and head back on board ship to enjoy the day.
