Nassau, Bahamas Without Atlantis — Is It Worth Getting Off the Ship
Is Nassau worth getting off the cruise ship if you're NOT going to Atlantis? We visited Nassau, Bahamas on a Disney cruise, skipped the excursions, and spent 3½ hours exploring the city entirely on our own. In this Nassau walking tour, we leave the cruise port on foot and visit many of the best-known attractions you can reach independently, including the British Colonial Hotel, Margaritaville Beach Resort, Junkanoo Beach, Christ Church Cathedral, Queen's Staircase, Fort Fincastle, Parliament Square and the Straw Market. Along the way, we share what we thought was worth seeing, what disappointed us, how long it took to walk between attractions, and what we would do differently if we visited Nassau again. If you're visiting Nassau on Disney Cruise Line and wondering whether you need a Port Adventure—or whether you can simply walk off the ship and explore Nassau yourself—this video shows what our day was actually like. No Atlantis. No organized excursion. Just 3½ hours exploring Nassau on our own.
