Port Guide: Nassau - Everything We Think You Should Know Before You Go! - ParoDeeJay

[@jennybogue8244]

Time to update the Nassau Port Guide! ❤

[@parodeejay]

True! Part three of our current Freedom Of The Seas series is a complete walk around of the new Nassau port, but some of that footage probably needs to be worked into an actual port guide in this style!! :D

[@jeffreysadventuresyoutube]

Hi guys, I'm a Cruiser of Carnival Cruises for many years (1986 Jubilee). Thank you for being so honest about how much to love to take a cruise, and what it's worth doing so. I will always follow you and your adventures... Jeffrey's Cruises VLOGGER!

[@dorothyweaver790]

Blue Lagoon Island is my favorite sport on the entire planet- highly recommend! Thanks for the video, love the series! I stayed at the comfort suites on Paradise Island and yes you can use all of the Atlantis facilities. It was great- really cute hotel too.

[@andrewmusson3503]

We were just in Nassau in December. We went to Junkanoo beach and had an amazing time. We were able to snorkel quite a bit and my son and I got to see an octopus just off the cement pier, it changed colors and then swam away. It was amazing. I wish I had seen this video prior to us going, it is very informative. Thanks!

[@parodeejay]

That's awesome! We still haven't made it over to Junkanoo yet ourselves. Glad to hear it was a good day!! :D

[@jodura3363]

Once again, I have to say this is a wonderful and fab series. Thanks.

[@SuperMsKakashi]

cool video, my first time in Nassau I did not get off the ship. Even though I did watch your blogs about Nassau before I went, this video help me decide on my next time to Nassau I will get off the ship. Your channel is the best. Thanks to you three cruises in the bag.

[@parodeejay]

We talk about staying on the ship at Nassau from time to time, but we usually get off anyway and find something interesting to do... :P

[@gregorydi2646]

Going to be in Nassau in November had to watch your port guide. I took notes.

[@magnoliaalexander9606]

We went to Nassau in January 2019,on a seven day Carnival Dream. Our tour guide was "Sexy Mary",she was a wonderful person. She took us anywhere we wanted to go. Look her up if you ever in Nassau.

[@parodeejay]

Very nice, thanks for the tip!! :D

[@travelwithhaydenyt]

Hello, if you are ever in Nassau and want to swim with the pigs, since it takes a long time, do a cruise that either stays overnight or stays till late at night. We did Blue Lagoon on our October 2019 cruise on Carnival Liberty, we did all the free things like swimming and the food. We did walk to the area with the gift shop and the swimming with the dolphins and it was super nice over there. Oh, BTW this is Traveling with Hayden but on my computer account!

[@TimothyHieb]

I was wondering if you might have an updated Port Guide for Nassau since upgraded the cruise port. Also do you have Progreso (Yucatán) &/or West coast Mexico Port Guides. I enjoy watching you Port Guides, very useful information.

[@blackbirds4]

Excellent Video, Very Helpful, Very informative. I actually walked to Atlantis. Needed to get my 10,000 steps.

[@TinaC982]

This is great! Loving this series , will definitely rewatch when we go to Nassau for the first time next year! 🤘🤘

[@adavan3095]

Great info. Was there in 2010. Did the glass-bottom boat. Going back next year. Pig swim sounds fun, might try that.

[@GloSav4LYFE]

Love how you break it down!!! Not sure what a perfect score is 10 or 5. Keep it coming

[@parodeejay]

Ah, I thought we said at the end of each video, but I may have missed one, ha ha... perfect score is a 10 and would be something like a private island, say Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays where food is included and there's a ton of stuff to do. :D

[@harrismagoon6470]

Thank you, Dee and Jay! We're going there in a few months and appreciate this great information!

[@pgpeyatt]

We are booked to do the Nassau Native Quest and Beach in January.

[@parodeejay]

That's awesome! We've looked at that excursion so many times, back when it was inside the fort, and never went for it. Hope you have a great time!! :D

[@alinelson2]

Hi Dee and Jay! I love this series...so informative! Thanks for the info! Hugs!!

[@kathleenernst7935]

Thanks for another great video - we have been quite a few times to Nassau and agree about the BCH - with all that construction in the area, we'll just wait to end up over that way when it is all complete. Now I know where the Queen's Staircase is - never ventured over there - TIP....great authentic Greek restaurant (upstairs) at Bay/Charlotte Street - we stopped there in 2018 - OPA!........:)

[@parodeejay]

Greek food in the Bahamas? Nice! Haven't ever seen that!! :D

[@mklee05091953]

I I think we have been to Nassu about the same number of times that you have. Unless one books a tour to Atlantis, to me that is a one and done experience. We have walked to Junkanoo Beach and used the facilities and it is FREE! That said one does pay for a lounge and an umbrella, but they are cheap!

[@parodeejay]

Yep, I think our last Nassau count was something like 14 times, ha ha... but we always try to find something interesting and new there!! :P

[@herewearewithawildarobert1834]

Love the series. Very unique! ❤️🚢

[@realcdcruze3558]

We always bring cling film and foil onboard so we can wrap up food from the buffet and go super cheap during your port day!! I know, but i go all out with the fare so need to crimp elsewhere.

[@mlbdestinations8418]

Great video thanks for sharing!!

[@dailymuggle922]

Blue lagoon is awesome, you should go!!!

[@dailymuggle922]

[@kylekallin1750]

I'm going next month so excited for my bday cruise

[@denised1704]

I’ve gone to Nassau on 6 out of the 8 cruises I’ve been on. Never really got a chance to shop because although I’m not bother by it the vendors constantly shouting about hair braiding and taxi rides freak my kids out lol I’m good at saying no thanks and ignoring them. Hopefully I can venture out. Agree with going with a group when walking to the Queens Staircase.

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

Oh my goodness! I LOVE Dee's piggytails!! SO CUTE!! I laughed at Dee's saying "bring the snacks along anyway"! That's totally my strategy (don't take only fruit though). Thanks for this great port guide. We haven't ever been to Nassau and don't even have it on our itinerary on our future 9 cruises we have booked. T he swimming with the pigs area intrigues me, but I wonder how much pig poop there would be there, as well as that I have seen someone getting bit by the pigs there. I probably would look into that Comfort Inn deal if we go there. Someday we'll get there!! ❤️

[@parodeejay]

Yeeeeeah, that's just part of the fun with pig swimmin' I guess, ha ha... sort of like the horseback tours that walk along the shoreline at Grand Turk down the beach there and well... nature calls sometimes... :P

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

@@parodeejay - yeah, the manure never seems to get into those lovely advertisement for the horse rides! Actually I am doing a horse ride with our daughter in Aruba coming up in October and I'm really looking forward to it. It's not one that goes into the water though, which is fine by me!! 🙂

[@Avtservices]

Cable Beach a mile down the road , nice Beach and Goodman's Ba both just a $1.50 bus ride away or $5 pp taxi, this is where all the all inclusive resorts are

[@willcooper6980]

I'll be in Nassau this coming Nov. Thought about city tour, but that is blah. Will instead try adventurous excursion for first time.

[@pa77083]

We love your port guides series. Please do more ... Alaska ... Virgin Islands .... Bermuda... to name a few.

[@parodeejay]

Thanks so much! We can definitely hit some Alaska ports... love those! We've got St. Thomas on the list to cover after we visit again in December, and we haven't been to Bermuda yet... but we'll be there for the first time in September 2020, so maybe we can pop something out after that, ha ha... woohoo!! :D

[@pa77083]

We are going this November to St Croix, St Kitts, Martinique, Barbados, St Maarten, San Juan, and Grand Turk on Carnival Pride out of Baltimore. We have hit Grand Turk before and have seen your guide. Have not been to any of the other ports ... EPIC! ROCK ON

[@parodeejay]

Very nice! We're on that same cruise on the Pride. A few new ports for us as well, so we're excited!!

[@069751]

Me and the wife did the jet boat excursion and the awesome driver took us to Sandals island to go pester the sandals people by going in circles and throw jet boat water at them LOL loved that guy I tipped him well.

[@Jamielyn1220]

Thanks for the info! We're going in March!

[@sakriso]

Hi guys! Just out of curiosity, is the music during your end card from a source or is someone musically inclined and created it??

[@cindymeyers4497]

Great video! But I am very selfish and I would love for you guys to go on a Disney cruise. I was directed (while watching KZbin on my television) to a video of a vlogger taking his first Disney cruise. It was interesting because of all the activities and interaction with Disney characters. However it was kinda boring and all I could think of was how amazing it would be to see Dee and Jay on a Disney cruise interacting with Mickey Mouse and company......it would be fabulous!! So selfishly I hope you guys can go on a Disney cruise really soon!

[@parodeejay]

Too funny! We'd love to eventually try a Disney cruise, but whenever we see the pricing we just click over to something else, ha ha... I'm sure we'll get there someday!! :P

[@ellennelson9201]

Great video. Swimming with pigs in Nassau I've got to see that. Rock on.

[@nancyharris4846]

I am just wondering if British colonial Hilton has restrooms or a place adequate for changing when using it With a day pass? Also, do you know what the prices are like for lunch at their outdoor grill?

[@darrellpillow1595]

Thanks for the volg, I watched you madi gras volgs, what is your opinion on key west and Freeport, , do you have volgs on them, if we decide to book this cruise , we may to the zoo garden or paradise island in Nassau

[@tcrest4177]

How much is the water taxi to Atlantis? Thank you for all the helpful info! Looking forward to going to the Bahamas in January. Love your videos!

[@parodeejay]

Both a land taxi or a water taxi can usually be had for $4 per trip, $8 round trip, per person. Cruise Radio has a fantastic step-by-step guide on how to locate and purchase the water taxi tickets, if you're leaning that way. cruiseradio.net/getting-paradise-island-nassau/

[@AmyBurdorf]

I saw Sean and Stef in your video. Cool.

[@zandrawilliams828]

Hey Dee & Jay, are you doing a port guide for Princess Cays?

[@parodeejay]

We've got it on the list, but not really scheduled at the moment, since it's basically a private island with free food, free fun, and all that, hah... but I'm sure we'll get it covered. We did Half Moon Cay several years ago, so we might as well do Princess Cays as well, eh? :P

[@jptraveladventures]

You can do that with ricky and Laura maybe.

[@MFARAJR1018]

On the carnival ship they free stuff that get in Nassau in 5 deck shopping tour I did I got free necklaces from store not far the port I love it I told everyone I bought it they will not know they give coupons books but you the show you get more on first day it great gifts

[@pamelawiggins9131]

I know Dee and Jay like the Breeze. How does the Magic compare?

[@parodeejay]

We enjoyed the Magic for that more modern, sleek feel with a lot of the extras like Cucina and stuff like that. For some reason, we liked the Breeze a little better, but they were both awesome!! :D

[@pamelawiggins9131]

@@parodeejay Would it be a true statement that you guys prefer simple and understated over fancy with extras. 😊

[@kylekallin1750]

Hey guys can you please do half moon cay I go there in a month. Carnival sensation we go to Nassau, Half moon cay, Grand turk. Thanks guys. 💕💕

[@parodeejay]

Funny, we actually did a Half Moon Cay feature about three years ago, which was in a series we'd planned called "Cruise Chat" and we never continued the series, haaah... an oldie but a goodie... :P kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHKWkoudarSDg5Y

jazzie cat me too!!

[@jazziecat2354]

can I use my visa card on land at Nassau!!?

[@parodeejay]

Yes indeed! We use credit cards at any of the large, reputable places like Hard Rock, Senor Frogs, Sharkee's, some of the larger stores and restaurants, etc. Any of the smaller vendors or companies that we haven't heard of, we go US cash.

[@jazziecat2354]

@@parodeejay Thank you so much we will do, just stay with big name store and restaurants.

Also checkout powerboat adventure for swimming Pigs

[@parodeejay]

Nice! I know there are some closer places you can go to swim with pigs, rather than the famous "Exuma" ones... that's cool though!!

[@scottj4683]

You actually made us want to get off the ship the next time we go back to Nassau. Also, here is a link to an article on the proposed redo of the port you heard about www.caribjournal.com/2019/03/02/bahamas-cruise-port-transformed/

[@travelingwithhayden4097]

Instead of collecting ship on a stick collect models that’s what I do
