What is Nassau like? Downtown Nassau taken from the MSC LIrica Pool Deck New Providence Island, just one of the 700 islands that comprise the Bahamas, is home to Nassau, the Bahamian nation’s capital. Located a mere 185 miles southeast of Miami, the scenery is very similar to mainland Florida, flat with not much diversity. Victorian mansions, 18th century fortresses, pink and white Parliament buildings, and uniformed “bobbies” all provide a British colonial charm to this 21 X 7 mile island. Add the expanse of wonderful beaches and duty-free shopping, Nassau provides a taste of the tropics. Cable Beach lined with first-class resorts, casinos and all-inclusives is seven miles from downtown. A toll bridge in the center of town connects Nassau to Paradise Island. What was once known as Hog Island, Paradise Island has been transformed into a chic, up-scale resort area with the sprawling, spectacular Atlantis Resort as its focal point. What is the weather like? Nassau enjoys a subtropical climate with mild winters, seldom dipping below 60°F. Average temperatures range in the low to upper 80’s; with water temperature never below 72°. With that said, however, just like Florida, these are averages and during winter months be prepared for an occasional cold front to cause drastic temperature drops. Ships docked at the Nassau Pier (Taken from the Straw Market) Where does the ship dock? Cruise ships dock at Prince George Wharf in the heart of downtown Nassau. Once you leave the pier, you will walk directly into Rawson Square, which is the center of town. Metered taxis are readily available, but most charge a flat fee to popular destinations. The 5 minute taxi ride to Atlantis on Paradise Island will cost -3 per person. Nassau Water Taxi Takes off for Paradise Island A water taxi, located at the pier, also provides transportation to Paradise Island for about the same price. This can be an enjoyable alternative to a cab ride, but be aware that the ride takes about 15 minutes and the ferry does not leave the dock until it has a full passenger load (I mean packed!). On my last visit there was a jerk named "Bobbi" who yelled at the top of his lungs that he was a tour guide and then proceeded to point out a couple of houses along the way that may have belonged to movie/rock stars. He was obnoxious and crude, not to mention insulting. He ended his diatribe with the explanation that he didn't work for the ferry, but made his income from tips. He threatened to confront every passenger one-on-one to pay for his services and then did so. It was hard for me to believe that some people actually fell for this sort of shake-down. Folks, the guy works for the boat and he is using you to increase the revenue from the water taxi ride. Unless you enjoy being ripped off, don't pay him and when he presents his hat, let him know you don't appreciate his cheap scam. If others pay, let them know that they are just prolonging the pain for subsequent visitors. Give your money to someone more deserving on the island, rather than being ripped off if you feel the need to contribute. It is embarrassing to me that this kind of scam can exist. Entrance to Nassau's Famous Straw Market Bay Street in the heart of downtown is the main shopping area. In this duty-free shopping area you will find rows of designer stores like Bvlgari, Gucci and Cartier as well as tacky t-shirt and souvenir shops. Nassau's Straw Market A visit to the Straw Market, also downtown, is an opportunity to barter with the locals. The original Straw Market burned down but a smaller, temporary market has taken its place. There are also numerous shops in the Atlantis Resort that are quite willing to help you part with your money.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Cruise Port]]></category> <link>http://www.preparetosail.com/CruisePort/nassau-cruise-port</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preparetosail.com/CruisePort/nassau-cruise-port</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 01 Sep 2025 11:44:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Ocho Rios Cruise Port</title> <description>The piers are right beside the downtown area where shops, restaurants and bars are just minutes away on foot.

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is located in the Island Village shopping center, the closest to the port, and backs up to the beach. Don't Miss The top attraction in Ocho Rios is the mighty Dunn's River Falls, where you can climb the flowing waterfalls that cascade down 600 feet and spill out into a pool right on the beach. Locals say that this is where "heaven spills into the sea, " and on a first visit to Ocho Rios, giving the falls a climb is something that shouldn't be missed. If you're going to climb the falls, it's a good idea to bring water shoes or rent shoes onsite to keep from slipping on the limestone rocks. Mystic Mountain is a rainforest adventure park that's great for kids and adults alike and is home to some very unique outdoor activities. The adventure begins with a ride on the Sky Explorer, a chairlift that soars 700 feet over the lush landscape that trails below. Once at the top, travelers can opt to try the park's signature Bobsled Jamaica ride, the Zip-Line Canopy tour or a twisty slide that ends up in the mountaintop swimming pool. Have lunch, and take in the view from Lookout Tower before making your way back down the mountain on the chairlift. Reggae roots run deep in Jamaica, and music-lovers shouldn't pass up the opportunity to tour the town of Nine Mile, the birthplace of Bob Marley. Situated in the mountains of St. Ann Parish, Nine Mile takes about 75 minutes to reach from Ocho Rios, and tours can be purchased that include transportation. You'll visit Marley's family home and mausoleum. A musical option closer to port is Reggae Explosion, located in the Island Village shopping center. This interactive mini-museum honors reggae music and other music genres popular to the region. Shopping: Haggle in classic Jamaican style at the craft market; you can get good prices on straw items, woodcarvings and souvenirs. Downtown, head for the Taj Mahal Shopping Center and Soni's Plaza. Both offer shops featuring unique jewelry, clothing and gifts. In the duty-free arena, you can get good buys on jewelry, cameras, china and crystal. Good souvenir choices include the island's well-known coffees, Blue Mountain and High Mountain; Tia Maria, the made-in-Jamaica coffee liqueur; and Jamaican rum. Dolphin Cove is swimming with the dolphins. But, beyond puckering up for kisses with the friendly mammals, you can also pet Caribbean sharks, explore the waters in glass-bottom kayaks, snorkel with stingrays or take a jungle trail walk. (Expect to spot snakes, iguanas and birds.) Take a drive through the lush rainforest of Fern Gully. This dense and often dark jungle of tropical foliage is set inland, where the winding road used to be a flowing river. It is said there are more than 200 different species of ferns in the area. The drive is about three miles long, and a tour of Fern Gully is often included in excursions that highlight the best of Ocho Rios. For nature-lovers, a self-guided botanical garden tour is ideal. Shaw Park Gardens features 25 acres of tropical plants, flowers and trees, situated on a hill overlooking the Caribbean. Coyaba River Gardens features a water garden with streams and waterfalls running throughout the grounds, as well as cultural attractions. And, Turtle River Park, a free public park close to port, is a good option for those trying to keep spending ashore to a minimum. Harmony Hall , located about 10 miles outside Ocho Rios, is a restored great house where arts, crafts and collectibles are now sold. You may also stumble onto a gallery showing of a local artist. Wassi Art Pottery Works is another option for craft-lovers; it's only a few minutes from town and offers a first-hand look at the making of pottery, from the clay stage to the final artisan-designed product. You can buy one-of-a-kind Wassi pieces at the onsite showroom. Prospect Plantation is one of the island's oldest 18th-century estates. Tour the lush grounds in an open-air jitney while experiencing gorgeous views over the White River; explore the property's agricultural crops, including cassava, bananas, sugarcane and coffee; feed the ostriches; view native Jamaican butterflies in the aviary; or saddle up for a leisurely horseback ride. Nonguests are welcome to play golf at Breezes' golf club in Runaway Bay and Sandals Golf & Country Club. Both are PGA-quality championship courses and are some of the most interesting in the Caribbean, with fairways and greens laid out amid the rolling hills and picturesque backdrop. Getting Around On Foot: You can walk into downtown. If you are docked at the James Bond Pier, take the Main Road to the west to get to town - it takes about 10 minutes. Taxis: Taxis are readily available at the dock; just make sure you hire a licensed JUTA taxi. Negotiate a price before you go and the time to be picked up; fares to many of the area's closest attractions are about $10 roundtrip. Beaches Best Beach for a Half-Day Visit: Mahogany Beach, 10 minutes east of port, is a great place for a beach day. Parasailing, kayaking, water-skiing and diving are just a few of the water sports offerings available, and with nearby shopping, beachside massages and a bar and grill, you're all set until your ship is ready to sail again.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Cruise Port]]></category> <link>http://www.preparetosail.com/CruisePort/ocho-rios-cruise-port</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preparetosail.com/CruisePort/ocho-rios-cruise-port</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2025 11:39:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Last Minute Cruise Deals from Los Angeles</title> <description>Driving Directions and Parking Information for the Port of Los Angeles Port of Los Angeles Berths 91-93 World Cruise Center 100 Swinford Street San Pedro, CA 90731 The World Cruise Center at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/motel_6_pratt_ks_pratt_united.jpg" alt="Featured Image" align="left" /><p>Driving Directions and Parking Information for the Port of Los Angeles Port of Los Angeles Berths 91-93 World Cruise Center 100 Swinford Street San Pedro, CA 90731 The World Cruise Center at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, California is approximately 18 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Now, ship captains are enabled to perform the ceremony with a marriage license that will be issued by the Bahamas. Norwegian will also offer legal same-sex ceremonies, available in destinations where same-sex marriages are recognized by local law, including Boston, Hawaii, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Vancouver, Tampa, Miami and Port Canaveral. The new Wedding at Sea package includes a bridal bouquet and matching boutonniere, Champagne toast, wedding cake and a experienced wedding coordinator to aid with the finer details.

It's pretty typical to think along these lines and here's a quick guide to getting a good sense of what the real cost will be. Of course, the cost of any Royal Caribbean cruise depends on who is taking the cruise. Everyone has different tastes, preferences and spending habits and this will largely dictate how much your cruise will really cost. What you have to understand is any Royal Caribbean cruise has a base cost that everyone pays and then there's other options you can opt to purchase. Here's a quick guide to getting a general sense of what a cruise will cost you when it's all said and done. Royal Caribbean cruises are a great value but much of it depends on what you want. Cruise Fare The easiest place to begin budgeting is with the cost Royal Caribbean charges you to go aboard its ships. It's up to you to find the cruise sailing that appeals to you, but it's a fixed cost that everyone has to pay and you can always price out a cruise based on what your travel agent quotes you or you find via Royal Caribbean's web site. Transportation Next, you need to figure out how you are getting to the cruise. In most cases, this will be a decision between flying and driving to the embarkation port. If you're flying, price out airfare costs between your nearest airport and the airport closest to the port. You can save money on airfare sometimes by considering other airports nearby to either location. Don't forget to factor in the cost of a taxi, rental car or car service to get you to the port from the airport.
