Best Cruising tips for first timers!

Tips:




DON'T get off at Nassau. Again, stay on the ship and enjoy the lower crowds onboard. You are paying a lot of money for these 2.5 days onboard this ship, so stay on the ship! Nassau=

Only reason to go ashore in Nassau is if you want to see the Atlantis Casino.

Wife and I are both in the gaming industry, so it was pretty much a must-see for us while there. The Casino and immediate little shopping district outside of it are very nice and worth seeing if you're into that sort of thing.

Other than that, though, forget about it!

Nat's tip list above is very good.

Rent a bike and take a bike ride on Castaway Cay, even if you haven't been on one in years! It was a nice relaxing way to see a bit of the island.

Make sure to go outside at sunset, sunrise too if you're up and traveling at a time of year when it's not too early.

We went to Castaway Cay early and did Nassau/Atlantis and still felt we did plenty of rides on the Aquaduck, but that's just me. In fact, it was a relief to be able to tear the younger kid who had to go with an adult each time away from the Aquaduck.

Atlantis was not as wonderful as it looks in their TV ads, but still the most fun I ever had at one of those water parks my kids love so much. Since Nana was treating it was a great day! Can't speak to the casino, but for families with kids it was neat. (Realize that's not the crowd in the original post, but typing this for the wider audience).
