Had to pause the video 😂 because I'm enjoying the vibe with you guys 🌴🌴🌴 The best way to experience any country is to connect with the people. My fav way to eat and explore is to get away from typical spots and venture further in. Mind you, I've quit drinking Bill and can't believe you handled 3 of those rum drinks like a champion 😅 your wife and friend are troopers as well!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Those rum drinks were very strong indeed!

[@ogcarson]

Where is Mr tropical located I'm trying to set up a guide and make this a priority stop we love to travel and shop try only local. Is it on the way to cable Beach?

[@ritzytravelguide]

@ogcarson Hi there. Mr Tropical is on Eastern Road, at Montagu Bay. The conch place we went to is called Yellow, and that is nearby.

[@JoST41]

Go across from the main lagoon in blue lagoon and you’ll find an amazing less crowded beach with amazing snorkeling

[@ritzytravelguide]

Many thanks for that. Good tip!

[@David-pz2si]

can you give the location on googlemaps to the area you are talking about please? you can drop the pin on the location and share the coordinates only. is blue lagoon worth it overall? thank you

[@davidc5191]

Also worth mentioning is that the US Dollar is the local currency, which makes it very convenient.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Very true!

[@NurseTara04]

Just found this video, I enjoyed your commentary, video quality and advice very much! Thumbs up and I definitely subscribed. Look forward to seeing more Caribbean islands content. 💜

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi there, thanks very much! Yes, lots more videos to come 🙂

[@mydogwinifredgsd2699]

Hey Bill…..hope y’all having a great cruise

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you, yes!

[@abdvantage]

Absolutely love your channel. This had me smiling all through, as I'm checking I've not missed an episode! Missed this one and so glad I'm watching it!🥳🥳🥳

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you so much, we had a really good time in the Bahamas, that last trip!

[@owen8271]

Stumbled on your video, love your commentary and cool vibes. Totally thumbs up 👍

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thanks very much!

I recommend you skip Atlantis if you want value for your money. I took my family on cruises that stopped at Nassau and both August 2023 and March 2024. Atlantis is overpriced. Every waterpark that I’ve been to in the United States costed no more than 60% of what I pay for Atlantis. The beaches and the pools at Atlantis are very nice, but by the time cruise ship passengers arrive guest in the Atlantis hotel towers have occupied every seat you have to pay for a locker. The lines for the waterslides are long. They even shut down a slide while I was in line without telling the guests. Pricing is dynamic. I paid $220 per adult and $116 per child. Like one lady from another cruise ship I spoke to while we were in line for a water slide stated “ $220 and I have to buy my own lunch.”

[@TheStoli5]

We are coming to Nassau with older teens 16-25. What do you recommend? Was thinking Atlantis but it would be a mortgage payment. Would Blue Lagoon or Pearl Island be better? Wanted to do swimming with the pigs but I have heard it is expensive for what it is and its short.

[@chris25johnston]

Another great one Bill. Your videos are so well done.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thanks Chris, though I'm not sure after 3 rum cocktails I was talking much sense!

[@_-ANNE-_]

Hello from Ohio, USA! This video is very helpful, thank you! I am going on a cruise in a few months and Nassau is a stop on that itinerary! This helps me plan our day! I definitely want to visit Mr. Tropical! Cheers! 😊🍹

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi Anne, have a fabulous time in Nassau!! Please say Hi to Mr Tropical🍹

[@randysworld8404]

Great video!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thanks so much Randy!

[@TheDisciple76]

Really enjoyed the video! Very informative! I needed to know how to get around and what to expect outside of taking an excursion from the cruise and this video really shined a light!

[@ritzytravelguide]

So glad it helped!

[@hellokitty2848]

This is the most informative video I have watched about Nassau! Thank you so much! I think I will try one of the private beaches when I go next week. Hopefully not too pricey!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you so much. Have a great time! Please do let us know afterwards how it goes, we'd love to hear!

[@hellokitty2848]

@@ritzytravelguide I’ll def post back here! Looking forward to finding the conk salad and the bar you went to!!

[@ritzytravelguide]

@hellokitty2848 hope you find them!

[@yvonnetemple3579]

Totally agree

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you!

[@jw9939]

Did you two do something with video editing and narrating before? The vids are so professionally done 😍

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you very much! Very kind. In my early career I was with the BBC

[@ndirangugichuki6260]

This was a fun episode 😂👍

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi, glad you enjoyed it!

[@ashleyearley7829]

You sir, are a character! Enjoyed your video.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Many thanks Ashley!

[@davidwalters7600]

Nicely presented 😊

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you!

[@charlietheriault703]

Where is Mr. Tropical Rum shack on Bay Street ?

[@ritzytravelguide]

It's in Montagu Bay. You'll need to take a cab

[@jodidunn-daughery5374]

Thank you for the vid. I love all the new construction. I was wondering where the local shops are, and if it's safe to go there. Thank you!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@trishinsalaco4764]

Need to go on Vacay with you guys! You need a group cruise!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Sounds fun!

[@lindasmith6072]

Awesome video as usual. What was the KZbin channel of that conch guy if you know it?

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi Linda, thanks very much for your comments. We never did find out his KZbin or Tiktok. We tried, but couldn't trace it!

[@joanne26]

OH MY The Junkanoo It’s still going then. I don’t suppose it’s anything like the one from 1965 in Thunderball Yes the cast and crew had a ‘whale of a time’- dancing, drinking as it was part of the production And paradise island was used as a location for most of the film Great behind the scenes videos 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍 👍

Very welcome!

Great video🎉❤

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thank you so much 😊

[@cjrobs3492]

Loving your video! Is Mr. Tropical walking distance from the port?

[@ritzytravelguide]

Thanks for watching. You could walk, but might be easier to jump in a 5 or 10 minute cab!

[@rawickham8452]

Where is Mr Tropical? We would love to get directions to where he is for our next visit there.

[@ritzytravelguide]

He's at Montagu Beach

[@erintraicene7422]

This is on our very short list of what we will do on our first stop in this port in March 2025 . Following watching your video… How far is this from the port? If walking. We’ll be on the celebrity ascent. (Also due to your video reviews)

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi Erin, wishing you an amazing time in Nassau, and on the Ascent! Mr Tropical and Mr Yellow are both at Montagu Beach. It's too far to walk. You will need a cab. The beaches there are beautiful, with nobody on them!

[@SuperSonicDude164]

I have to know where Mr. Tropical is. We want to find a simple bar near a beach without booming music. Thank you!

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi, Mr Tropical is in Montagu Bay 🍹

[@katmoonspeaks]

I've never had a good Bahama Mama outside of the Bahamas. Good one 😂

[@ritzytravelguide]

It was very good!!

[@GiftedAndGreatful]

Good job 👍🏾

[@phantinhdi2916]

Is cruise TSA similar to airport? Can you bring back food, baking good etc into the US?

[@m_nim]

Good day. What about communication and internet in the Bahamas? My husband and I have American Mint SIM cards, but there is no coverage for these cards in the Bahamas. What should we do? Did you buy roaming or did you buy local SIM cards? Thank you.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi, most of the major eSim companies cover the Bahamas

[@karenm6887]

Can you rent a horse drawn carrage if you use a wheelchair? My mom can walk just not far. How much is it to rent?

[@mkapp23]

Where was the conch guy located?

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi, his stall is called 'Yellows' at Montague Beach

[@Perdixroost]

Where specifically is Mr. Tropical and his Rum Shack?

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi, they are on Montagu Beach

[@annettebrowder1707]

Can’t wait to get there to order some conch salad.

[@ritzytravelguide]

Should be jet fresh!

[@fernandoramirez7154]

What the prices of those drinks on Mr. Tropical?

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi, they varied from $6 to $10

[@rockyfrazier7555]

Where is Mr Tropical located? Or did I miss the location?

[@ritzytravelguide]

@rockyfrazier7555 Hi, Mr Tropical is in Montagu Bay. A short cab ride from the port, and Downtown

[@tadpreston]

@@ritzytravelguide is it walkable from the port or do you recommend a cab?

[@ritzytravelguide]

@tadpreston To get to Mr Tropical and the Conch is too far to walk. A cab would be best!

[@hectordepuertorico]

Can you please tell me where is that Conch shack located? I want to go there and I will be there in a month. I typically go to Señor Frogs for the Conch salad but I really want to go there!!❤

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi, you'll find the Conch shack at the Fish Market in Montagu Bay. maps.app.goo.gl/NzX2mVXJSmzrdpbA6

[@ManojreddyTalluri]

Can we rent a bike in Nassau and roam around the places you mentioned in this video especially which are close to the port?

[@Nr15121]

You don’t want to. The roads are incredibly dangerous and there are no sidewalks

[@daveygivens735]

Going in a couple of weeks. -Where are the little Rum and Conche shacks?

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi, they are in Montagu Bay

If someone want to go by cruise having bahamas visa. Is the cruise department allow the person

[@ritzytravelguide]

Yes

[@nisarpracticalenglish8374]

And from Bahamas to USA

[@latoshamcgaffee936]

Do u have to pay to go in the beach

[@ritzytravelguide]

Hi. The vast majorities of the beaches that we showed are free. Just a couple of sections at the private resorts have paying areas

[@latoshamcgaffee936]

Thank you

[@couch123David]

Why didn’t you give his tik tok a shoutout

[@ritzytravelguide]

We never did find it! Maybe just a bit of fun and wishful thinking on his part!
