Dec 2022 Update: Nassau (Bahamas) Cruise Port Guide
Big changes have been completed in Nassau - the capital city of The Bahamas - with the city’s new cruise port now fully open to cruise passengers! The cruise port’s transformation started while the cruise industry was paused in 2020 due to COVID. And we saw progress on the construction during our two visits in 2021 and our two visits in 2022. When we visited aboard the Holland America Niuew Amsterdam in April 2024, we were pleased to see the construction completed. And in this video, we’ll provide a full tour of the all-new Nassau Cruise Port.

    This elevator system is horrible. MSC also has it that way. Picture standing in front of 6-8 elevators and only 1 of them is coming for you. 10 minute wait!!! Every time! We got so tired of waiting that we stopped taking the elevators and simply walked the stair for the rest of the cruise. Europeans must have a different definition for EFFICIENCY!

      Each of the "secret decks" had a couple wooden benches and a couple of lounge chairs, so while it wasn't standing room only, the seating available was a bit limited.

      The websites are definitely a bit convoluted. If you go to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal website (cruise.nyc/manhattan-terminal), you can then click on "Get Directions," which takes you to a new page. On that page, scroll down to "Parking" and there's a link to "Make a Reservation." The reservation link is too long to post in RUclips descriptions/comments.

    • @TheJellyBeans
      @TheJellyBeans 12 дней назад

      Generally speaking, the buffet is fairly busy at the opening time for each meal and it tends to slow down as the meal time progresses. Meal times will vary a bit day-to-day, so you can check the schedule to plan accordingly.

    I agree on the heated loungers, that was one of my favorite things, they are so relaxing! They still show them on the website for the thermal spa link & they talk about having them in the description - bummer. I just purchased the package last week for the cruise we’re going on next month. :/

    • @TheJellyBeans
      @TheJellyBeans 13 дней назад

      They're not necessarily gone. They just weren't in the room they used to be in. We didn't have an opportunity to check the rest of the spa to see if they were moved somewhere else. You may want to contact Holland America directly to double-check.

      Unfortunately, we sailed on the Breakaway (sister ship of the Getaway) prior to launching our website and channel. That said, the Escape is a Breakaway-Plus class ship, so many of these tips should work for your cruise aboard the Getaway, even if they're not exactly the same. Hope you enjoy your cruise aboard the Getaway!

    We have three single people traveling and considering this ship with one interior room. I am hoping to get three twin beds, and am wondering from you: was the pullman bed comfortable? Would it fit a 5'3 adult? I'd rather have the pullman bed than a pull out couch (thinking bad bars in the middle! yikes)

    • @TheJellyBeans
      @TheJellyBeans 19 дней назад

      Our Jelly Bean says the beds are about as comfortable as an average hotel room bed and it'll probably fit a 5'3" adult because it fit her with some room to spare. Hope this helps!

    Did the tofu cheesecake actually taste like a dessert?

    • @TheJellyBeans
      @TheJellyBeans 21 день назад

      The tofu was just a touch sweet, but definitely not as sweet as a traditional cheesecake. Still, the sauce and sorbet added some overall sweetness. So, maybe not quite what you would normally think of as a dessert, but also overall sweeter than what you might think of tofu.

      @TheJellyBeans 22 дня назад

      The part we walked had sidewalks, so it does seem possible. The sidewalk you can see around 3:26 is pretty much what all of the sidewalk outside the cruise center looked like. Some areas were a bit better than others, but all of it seemed good enough for a wheelchair. Hope this helps!

    We ate at Canaletto on our 2022 cruise. I was not impressed with the food and did not like the ambience. Too bright and feels like you're in the buffet cafeteria. The tables are very squished together too. I felt like we were at the same table as our neighboring table. no personal space. Restaurants do that a lot nowadays to maximize profit but if it ruins the experience they may not return even if the food is good!

The food at the standard MSC buffets and dining rooms is extremely subpar to put it kindly.
