Creator's Key Takeaways

This is real travel. the sunsets, the cocktails, the screw-ups, and the moments that make cruising worth it.

We've been told McKenzie's is the best restaurant on the island. Is that true? ... Go under the bridge.

This is designed for you to spend the summer. And very honestly, some of it's really cool. However, this really isn't local culture.

Kat had a stroke in March and it's really changed the way we've cruised, especially on excursion and port days.

Creator's Tips & Advice

For luxury cruising on Ritz Carlton, get a limo service right back to the boat to avoid walking.
To find authentic local food in Nassau, head under the bridge to Potter's Cay to eat at Mackenzie's.
Look for the less touristy areas away from the main port shops to find real local interaction.
