For most new cruisers, the Bahamas will be your very first port of call. Located approximately 178 miles off the coast of Miami, Nassau host pristine beaches, turquoise water and a rich history. If this is your first time to the Bahamas, you should head over to the Atlantis Resort Bahamas to check out their spectacular marine habitat and other sea worthy adventures. If you want to immerse yourself in the local culture, check out The Straw Market, located within walking distance of where the ship docks. Be ready to bargain for handmade items that make good gifts and souveniers; never pay the first price requested.
In the mood for authentic Bahamian Cuisine, look no further than The Fish Fry (Arawak Cay), where you can find reasonably priced meals of fresh fish enjoyed by the locals. Don't forget to sample the conch fritters!
The Pirates of Nassau Museum explores the Bahamas rich history of swash buckling pirates. You can walk through the belly of a pirate ship, the Revenge, as you hear "pirates" plan their next attack, smell the dampness of a dungeon, and even hear the final prayer of an ill-fated victim before he walks the gangplank.
Beaches in the Bahamas abound. A few noteworthy ones are Paradise Beach, Cabbage Beach and Cable Beach.
As we get closer to the sailing, Royal Caribbean will update all the excursions they have available for each port city.
We will continue to post facts and tips about various ports of calls and things to do while onboard as we count down to the sailing of Allure of the Seas in October. If you have any comments or questions or want more information, please post in the comments section.
