YouTube Video Description

Nassau, Bahamas is one of the most common cruise ports in the Caribbean, but do you really need to book an expensive excursion to enjoy it? On our 50-day Caribbean cruise, we made a stop in Nassau and decided to explore completely on our own with no excursion booked. In this video we walk right off the ship and explore: • The Nassau cruise port area • Downtown Nassau shops • Local markets • The streets just steps from the port We also share our honest thoughts at the end about what we liked and didn’t like about Nassau, and whether we think it’s worth visiting without an excursion. If you're cruising to Nassau and wondering if you should book a tour or just explore on your own, this video will help you decide. This video is part of our 50 days cruising the Caribbean without excursions series, where we show what you can realistically do in cruise ports with just a good pair of walking shoes. If you enjoy cruising affordably, retiring early, and traveling more, consider subscribing for more cruise port guides and honest cruise tips. #NassauBahamas #CruisePort #CaribbeanCruise #CruiseTips #CruisingOnABudget
