Pros: Easy walk from cruise ships Cons: Not overly attractive. Has trouble holding onto the quaint feel with all the mega-buck stores.
Nassau is the main town of New Providence Island, Bahamas that is smack between popular Paradise Island and Cable Beach. Both areas are growing and will look quite different three years from now. Demolition and new construction will be at a high mark ...

My first Caribbean cruise stopped in Nassau for about eight hours. That seems sufficient for getting a sense of the place, but the first hour or more were wasted waiting for immigration to clear the non-US passengers. Coupled with snorkeling located ...
Pros: Beautiful beaches, friendly people Cons: Don't expect to spend more than 5 wonderful days, there... it's a small island.

Pros: White sand, crystal clear water, picturesque beaches close 2.5 hours from New York. Cons: Trap bait. Nassau will break your bank, your heart and rob your peace of mind.

The first afternoon we toured the 3 main hotels on Cable Beach (Radisson, Marriott, and Nassau...
Pros: Cheap liquor, decent beaches, conch fritters Cons: Rude, aggressive people, very touristy, and expensive
