Creator's Key Takeaways

There's a free beach about a 15-minute walk from your ship in Nassau, and it might be the fastest way though to wreck your entire port day.

For 40 bucks, you get a British Colonial day pass that is taxes and fees included, and it includes a meal.

Breezes is the best value when you account for the fact that it is the rare all-inclusive in Nassau.

I find Baha Bay to be newer, calmer, more pleasant, less crowded, and I love the lazy river at Baha Bay.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Confirm the total taxi price before getting in and ask if the bridge toll is included when going to Paradise Island.
✓Book day passes ahead of time as popular options can sell out during peak periods.
✓Compare third-party booking sites against cruise line prices, as third-party is almost always cheaper.
✓Check towel policies in advance, as some expensive water parks require you to bring your own.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Missing the ship when going independent — Choose a walkable option like British Colonial so you can see the ships from the property for peace of mind.
Unpredictable taxi costs — Confirm the total price and bridge toll before entering the taxi.
