Liquor only found in the Bahamas

I’ll be taking a cruise to the Bahamas in January, I am wondering what is the most popular liquor I could bring back to the states that I could only buy in the Bahamas? We are visiting Half Moon Cay, Nassau and Freeport.

Solo travelling in Nassau

Hey there!

Hope everyone's doing fine. I'll visit Nassau from Toronto the next weekend (6 - 8 december) and I'm gonna be just by myself.
I'm an experienced traveller myself but I'd like to ask the locals a few questions to make my stay more enjoable.

  1. I will be in Nassau, but I ain't the type of person who goes to fancy all inclusive resorts or who spends the day laying at the beach. I like to explore and try new things. I'm gonna stay in an AirBnb pretty close to the city center. So far my to do list includes: Queen's staircase; Parliament Square; Fort Fincastle and Fort Charlotte. I'm not interested in cocktail bars, shopping streets or anything like that. Any other suggestions?

  2. Is the credit card widely accepted?

  3. As I said I'm gonna be just myself and will probably find myself walking alone at night-ish hours. Is it overall safe or there are some areas were I should exercise an higher level of caution?

  4. I know there's no Uber. Any other options to get from airport to my apartment?

Thank you guys!

Looking forward to visit your beautiful country.

Name the song pls

just left Nassau ;_; but during the cab to the airport, i loved this song the guy was playing. He said it was a local Bahamian radio, and the song was about drinking a bunch... while we were leaving an all inclusive lol. "whether its Hennessey, whether its Cîroc, aristocrat, it'll mess you up" and like " Rum is not your friend". This is gonna bug the crap out of me..

These rolls! A question

Recently visited Nassau for the first time. A couple places, had these simple yellow/orange dinner rolls that were delicious. Anyone know what you call these or a brand name? Googling didn’t work. Sweeter, more dense, and much more yellow/orange version of the Hawaiian rolls that are popular here in the states.

Hi everyone! I am going to propose to my girlfriend on the first night of out cruise and we wanted to keep the celebration going. We are going to Nassau the next day and were looking for an upbeat and nice place to celebrate with our family of 10. A cabana somewhere is a possibility. Just want to make it special.

Taxi To and From Cable Beach

  1. Where is a good place to stay for a few hours at Cable Beach

  2. I should be able to get a taxi from the cruise port to Cable Beach. What's the best way to return? I am not sure if the taxi will return to pick me up at an agreed time. Are there a lot of #10 Jitney stations if I use that to return.

Thank you!

Help me find a song!

Happy Thanksgiving! Just got back from a wonderful vacation in the Bahamas. I can’t find a song I heard multiple times on the radio and in taxis. The tune of the song goes - a male singer with a background chorus of children repeating each line. I remember the following lyrics:

[Man]: You’re my one and only

[Kids]: one and only

Appreciate any help. I think this song is local.

Celebrating my 40th in Nassau

Hi. I'm doing my 40th bday in Nassau with a very large group of my friends (about 30 people). I'm looking for the most fun things to do on the island to celebrate. What are some fun things we could do? We are thinking of maybe renting a boat, but other than that I have no idea. Thanks.

EDIT: Forgot to say that we're not staying at one of the resorts. We rented 3 houses on the beach next to each other.

January vacation

My two friends and I are going on our first international trip, we are looking for something for about two weeks in January but are getting torn on what to decide on. Between the three of us we’ve shown interest in Nassau, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands and would consider combining a few locations into our trip just as long as we have the time. We are trying to look at something worth it for the money but not crazy expensive, one of my friends wants to rule out Nassau for that reason but now I am less sure of what we’ll do as I put in the most research into there, and I do agree we want to enjoy whatever it offers and be able to afford it all so I was wondering if there are ideas that are just as exciting as the Virgin Islands don’t seem like there is too much activity to me but she’s been pushing that one the most.

Old Bahamian photos

Anybody know where I could find a photo of the airport road before it changed to 4 lanes? Or the old cable beach strip before Bahamar
