Creator's Key Takeaways

Oh Jamie NASA is the capital city of the Bahamas and is located about 180 miles from the east coast of Florida on the Island of New Providence

we recommend going to the top deck to get your bearings locate the bridges that connect Nassau on your right to Paradise Island on your left

it's not uncommon to find five cruise ships docked at the same time in Nassau so you might have a fairly long walk to the cruise terminal

we highly encourage you to note where the horses are hitched because later in the day when the horses aren't there it can easily be mistaken for a covered walkway

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack photo identification and ship cards to get back through the cruise terminal
✓Bring some cash because some vendors do not accept other forms of payment
✓Walk on pedestrian walkways for safety due to shuttle and other vehicles in the port area
✓Check the shopping guide on your ship to find out where to get free samples and trinkets
✓Note where horses are hitched to avoid mistaking a covered walkway and dodging horse droppings
