Definitely check out these resources. Good info on what to see and getting around the islands. I can confirm good advice there for Nassau. At this port, there is a lot to see within walking distance (1 mile).
Thanks !

Could you tell me where it is ? Key West ? Nassau ? Freeport ?I took that cruise 3 years ago and went to the Butterfly Conservatory for a shore trip. I booked through the cruise line and it also included the trolley tour. The Butterfly Conservatory was well worth the money and I'd love to go back some time.
Hi,KW,,,,DO not book anything ,,,get off the boat and walk one block and bingo your there. Best thing is to rent a bike for ten bucks and spent the day seeing all of old town and the historic seaport marina, stop at pepes for one dollar yengling.
Nassau,,,,DO not book anything,,,get off the boat and catch a boat ride to Atlantis resort for the casino and beach ,,spend the day there as there is nothing else in Nassau to do.
Yep we are planning to pack our lunches so that we can spend as much time as possible to sightsee KW.If you rent a bike in Key West go see their grave yard....unique.
See the tarpon school cruising the marina
Mallory Square at sundown ...(bit of a freak show)
Hit the Hogs Breathe and get an afternoon buzz on
Don't bother with the restaurants....you'll be sorry...eat on the cruise ship & pack a lunch.

Now I know Mallory Square. But could you tell me where to see ... tarpon school cruising the marina ? Hogs Breathe ?
Thanks

Hi Moemg,Hog's breath is a saloon in downtown Key West .IT is right in the midst of things . Sloppy Joe's was Hemingway's hang out and it's also right there . Duval st. is the main Key West Street and it is filled with bars & shops . You can not miss it . Mallory Square is where they have the sunset celebration every night .Key West IMO is the easiest port to just walk around and explore after the Conch train which I have to admit is better than the Trolley Tour .
Hi Moemg,
Thanks for all the tips !
Yep, DW loves to walk around and check out "bargains" - Is there any bargain in KW ?
LS
Could you give me more detail about "within walking distance (1 mile)" ?
So, walk around the port within 1 mile and sightsee ? What about taking a cab to the "historic site/place" ? Where is it ? What's it called ?
Thanks
LS
Hi Fuego,The historic places are right where you get off the boat - you are there! For details, check out that cruise critic website. I think I had a Frommer's/Fodor's/Lonely Planet/Rough Guides type travel book that had a little map of nassau with the sights to see. $10-15 from amazon or elsewhere online for one of those resources, or free from your library (which is where I got it from).
Seriously, I think you could fill your day with exploring on foot in nassau.
Thanks !I'm sorry...the Butterfly Conservatory was in Key West. You walk through a screened areas with a stream, lush tropical vegetation, benches to sit on. The butterflies and moths light on you. There were some birds in there as well, and the obligatory gift shop
I love sandy beach and would like to know how I could spend some time at the beaches in Nassau & Freeport ?
Where ? Names ? Taxi ? Close to ports of call or too far ? Is it near tourist attractions (We have only limited hours according to the cruise schedule) ?
Thanks
