Will be visiting the Bahams for first time in July. Flying in for a five night visit and am researching as much as I can now. Seems like this will be a good one to pass by. Too crowded and the beach and water didnt look all that nice. Thank you.
I would agree with you that the beach gets way too crowded! Especially when there are many ships in Port. I feel that the water is great. It is warm and clear. However the sand is a bit rocky in some spots.
Walked to Junkanoo quite a few years ago from the cruise port. It is a bit of a walk so be prepared, some of the sidewalks are a bit rough for those of us who are somewhat handicapped, I’d try to get a negotiated cab ride there. It is a good choice if you aren’t interested in the expensive excursions. You can have an inexpensive day that will be interesting. The new port village area inside the terminal compound is nice, new and clean but if you want to get a taste of Nassau walk out into the public area. If you walk right through the entire port compound to the end near the bandshell there should still be an exit located there and you won’t be hounded by so many local vendors driving you crazy. The straw market is right near that exit also.
I really enjoyed hearing about John Canoo beach. I'd like to hear more about who John was and why it's named after him, and if he really liked canoos or what.
No problem, John canoe was a pirate who liked coconuts and for that reason he visited the Bahamas quite often. The locals were so impressed that they name the beach after him John canoe beach.
I butchered the name on the video and deserve every negative criticism received thus far. Thank you for your sense of humor and for taking a time to leave a comment. It’s greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy your trip that’s coming in up in July. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen anyone parasailing there. I don’t know that they offer that as an option. You may be able to get that as an excursion from the cruise.
Thank you for watching and for giving Critical feedback. I’ve heard that said by other viewers as well, so it’s something I have to look into when I make future videos. Thanks again for watching.
There’s no official price. The chairs are secondhand and often times it’s broken along with the umbrellas. They will charge you as much as you’re willing to pay. The most reasonable price would be five dollars for a chair and $10 for an umbrella.
That’s a good question. I’ve never used the bathroom while there and I can’t recall seeing one. I would think they would have to have one but I am not sure.
Hey! Nice video but background music is not necessary. It is fatiguing to the ears. The music does not add anything. You voice is ni e and clear! You dont make gulping noises or weird smacking sounds. I could listen to you talk all day....just without the music!
For this wonderful comment. I’ve heard before that the background music is distracting and annoying. I’m going to take a second look at this video and also consider changes for other videos. Thank you for your viewership and support. I made my channel for viewers just like you.
I agree about the music not being needed. It’s good for a lot of youtube videos. Quite often i just stop videos for this. Not sure why most you-tuber think it’s great!
Dude...the sound levels from your voice over and the music is SOOOOOOOOO bad. It would be kinda quiet at times and then BAM!!!!!! The music would be way to loud...Very annoying to watch....Great video content, just get rid of the volume roller coaster ride.
Hi, thanks for watching the video and for leaving critical feedback. I am sorry that the sound isn’t the best. I didn’t realize it was such a problem. I’ll take a second look and try to fix it for future videos. Thanks again for pointing this out.
Thank you for the correction. Unfortunately, I made this error numerous times throughout the video and got slammed in the common section. Where were you a few months ago? Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate your patronage and your support.
I wish the United States government would just revert back the laws against Cuba to the times when Obama was the president. I can't imagine spending thousands of dollars to go on a cruise to the Bahamas and end up in that little section of a beach,over crowded and rocks everywhere, I would be very disappointed for sure.
I like the music too. Makes it a more interesting and submersive experience. Thanks!
Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to the comment. I am glad you enjoyed the music And the video.

A lot of people seem to have fun here. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment.

Thank you for the comment. I’ve been to Nassau several times and agree that this beach is a good value and sees you a lot on excursion.
This is what I was looking for, thanks!
I am glad that I was able to help. If you get a chance to go, please let me know how it goes.
Great video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Fantastic video!!!!
Appreciate the encouragement!
Great explanation and nice Speaking voice 👍🏾
Thank you! 😃
Thanks for the video. It's pronounced (Junk)- a- new.
Thank you for the clarification. I apologize for destroying the pronunciation. If you get a chance to go, please let me know how it goes.

Lol 😂

@@letsgoseeit457 I knew it had to have a good story. Thanks! 😂

@@letsgoseeit457 pronunciation aside, thanks for the video and the information. Going there soon!
Can you parasail at Junkanoo beach, it's on my bucket list and we are doing it in July when we get on the Sunshine.
Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy your trip that’s coming in up in July. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen anyone parasailing there. I don’t know that they offer that as an option. You may be able to get that as an excursion from the cruise.
I was there in 2023 and did not see any parasailing anywhere on the island you should go to aruba they have it there and it's awesome 😊
Love the video was wondering is it better to bring cash?
Yes! Also make sure you bring small bills. Dollars and fives.
great video, but the music is sometimes too loud
Thank you for watching and for giving Critical feedback. I’ve heard that said by other viewers as well, so it’s something I have to look into when I make future videos. Thanks again for watching.
Do they except US currency at Nassau? Great video the water looks so pretty!
Yes
Yes they do. Their currency is equally matched in value with the US currency.
Thank you for watching the video and I hope you enjoy your vacation.
Yes, bring US dollars.
How much is it to rent 2 lounger chairs + beach umbrella? Official and "real" negotiated price?
There’s no official price. The chairs are secondhand and often times it’s broken along with the umbrellas. They will charge you as much as you’re willing to pay. The most reasonable price would be five dollars for a chair and $10 for an umbrella.
Wow and I almost wasted 500 bucks on buying a excursion and was wondering how the cheaper ones are all sold out.
You can always get multiple excursions once you exit the cruise ship. You just have to be careful to get back before you ship leaves.
Is there a shuttle instead of walking
No, unfortunately, there are no shuttles. However, for five US dollars you can take a taxi there.
@@letsgoseeit457 thank you
lmao that kid was trying to take those fish out
Thank you for watching. I appreciate it.
How many minutes walk from the ship?
Just looked it up and it looks like about 13 mins walk and 5 min car ride from Prince George Wharf (the dock most cruises use)
Not far at all. I would say about 10 minutes.
How long is the walk
Hi and thanks for watching. From the ship to the beach it’s about 20 minutes.
Do they have bathrooms
That’s a good question. I’ve never used the bathroom while there and I can’t recall seeing one. I would think they would have to have one but I am not sure.
Yes there is a bathroom on the beach
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, after listening to it again a second time I realize now that doing the interlude, the music kind of shoots up.
I agree about the music not being needed.

No problem my friend.......great video, really helped us out as we are at this port in 8 days. Keep up the good work.@@letsgoseeit457
Thank you! I hope you have a great vacation.
It's not "JONK-anoo" Beach.. its pronounced like it looks.. "JUNK-anoo" . 👍

Admittingly. The beach is not the best that the Bahamas has to offer.
@@letsgoseeit457 true
Please pronounce Junkanoo correctly. Phonetically, junk a noo.😉
Thank for the tip. I appreciate it.
Couldn't make it threw his pronunciation of Junkanoo. Little research ahead of time would help.
Couldn't make it THROUGH your bad grammar. 😂 Great videos! New subscriber😊
Sorry I didn’t meet your expectations.
