Leigh: You can walk right from your cruise ship and take a water taxi over to Paradise Island and spend some time. I would recommend staying downtown instead, since everyone seems to head over there. Close by, you can head straight to Bay Street and turn right. Just a few blocks down is the famous Straw Market area where you can find all kinds of goods for sale. Stroll through the alleys and check it out, it's pretty neat. You can take the horse and buggy ride, but the kids may think it's not cool. You should stay busy right in the downtown area. Have some local food and try a Kalik beer. Have fun!

ee, I am planning a trip to Nassau in early November and would really appreciate a copy of your trip notes. I have two daughters ages 14 and 4. I am completely unfamiliar with the area and will also be staying at the Nassau Beach Hotel. Any advice you could give me on restaurants also would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Bill, the rainy season just means you will get a bit of rain just about every day, a quick cloud burst to cool things down and then the sun is back out.
When we were there last, we were about a mile away from the Marriott at the Zoo and watched a thunderstorm over the hotel, while the sun was bright blue over us.
The storms usually don't last long and you will be glad the air is cooled off a bit. July is hot so bring LOTS of sunblock.

Hi:
Will be in Nassau one day on a cruise. I was told by a friend it is possible to
use all the facilities at the Atlantis for a $50. daily fee. Do you know if this is true?
Also, is the dolphin swim worth $145?
What local group offers really good snorkeling?
Lots of questions; would appreciate any info you may have. Thanks, gus

There is a "tour" of Atlantis for $25. It doesn't give you use of the facilities. Just go--they can't stop you from using the beach. You can get into the aquariums. The Dig may be a little more difficult during the day. At night they don't usually check for ID.

Hiya! My husband and I have been to Nassau twice and Freeport once...Will not go back to Freeport...Love Nassau because it is easier to get around and have gottn to know the people well. We have a condo at SandyPort near Cable Beach and trade thru RCI now, so in 2001 we will go to Caymans. Love Atlantis on Paradise Island which is just over the bridge from Nassau. You could spend all day at Atlantis. I don't think the price of room there is bad for all there is to do...With kids, they will stay entertained..It has it all! Be sure to take the side trips they are fun and keep ya busy. Need any special info I do have all my "free" literature I have collected on our trips...so maybe I can help. email me and I will respond. Wishin you blue skies and sunshine! (Comfort Suites is not a bad place, price is less expensive than Atlantis for sure..but you will have to walk around or taxi alot..)
