Must Do and See in Nassau - Atlantis Resort | Blue Lagoon Island | Cabbage Beach | Junkanoo Beach | Arawak Cay |. The Adastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Centre is a delight for cruisers traveling with young ones, the John Watling's Distillery is a major landmark where rum tasting is offered on a tour, and the Arawak Cay (aka Fish Fry) is the place to taste typical Bahamian flavors. The Straw Market as seen better days but the 4 museums of Nassau are all worth visiting: National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, Balcony House, Pompey Museum and Pirates of Nassau Museum. The private islands (already mentioned) are secluded sites which must absolutely be experienced.

The Festival Place cruise terminal or Prince George Wharf as it is officially named offers the following services and amenities: As already mentioned, the terminal building is not the easiest to navigate and gets annoyingly overcrowded but the proximity to the capital city is priceless. The piers and cruise terminal are right by Nassau's historic downtown.
