Take me back to Nassau…

As a second generation Trini, I really enjoyed Nassau. The public beach being only a short walk from the port was absolutely gorgeous and honestly looked like something off a postcard. The water was crystal clear and the whole area had a really relaxing vibe.

I also felt pretty safe walking through town and exploring the area around the port. Most of the shops downtown felt pretty commercial and tourist focused, but once we got closer to the beach, the experience felt much more authentic.

One of my favorite parts of the trip was finding a fresh fruit stand where I grabbed coconut water and mangoes right off the beach. The mango was so sweet! I was hoping to find some soursop too, but no luck this trip.

The food at the beach restaurants was amazing and authentic Caribbean. Way better than anything I had on the ship. The customer service there was incredible too. It rained for a little while during the afternoon, and the restaurant staff let all 10 of us take shelter at their bar while serving us free drinks. That hospitality honestly stood out to me the most. I can’t remember the name, but it’s the spot where we were playing connect four.

Also, I was able to fly my drone while I was there and captured some really cool videos and photos. Definitely excited to edit everything together and share the footage on YouTube soon.

The reason for the trip is that I took Carnival Cruise Line’s Mardi Gras to celebrate my nephew getting married onboard. So congrats again nephew! With both families we were 50 deep on the ship, which made the whole trip even more memorable.

I didn’t make it to Atlantis this time, but that’s definitely on the list for my next visit.

For those who’ve been to Nassau before… did you visit Atlantis, and was it worth it? Also curious if there’s anything else I might’ve missed that you’d recommend checking out next time.

I’ll also be putting together a YouTube video about the trip and my experience in Nassau shortly.

Thank you for reading!
