Experience breathtaking views of the Atlantis, celebrity homes and mega yachts. Return to the doc and continue your adventure aboard an air conditioned transport. Along the way you will make stops at the historic Fort Fincastle, where you will have time to explore the local shops and visit the Queen Victoria Staircase for many photo opportunities. Continues along Bay Street, the heart of Nassau's shopping district and home to the Native Straw Market, where you will have views of the Governor's Mansion, Gregory's Arch and many other historic sites. Throughout this tour, your knowledgeable guide will keep you entertained with tales of Nassau's rich history.

We could not take the tour inside Fort Fincastle. As luck would have it, the tours were not operating and the fort locked up just for today due to their general staff meeting.

Wine Bar


Other than the six wine tasting events during the cruise I could never find anything else ever going on at "The Cellars Wine Bar". They didn't seem to ever be open to just walk in and order a glass of wine or a flight of wine. I never saw anyone sitting in the wine bar except during the wine tasting events. Maybe this is why Carnival does not have any wine bars on their ships. It seems like a waste of space if it isn't going to be open for most of the day like the other bars and lounges.

The new Carnival Vista Class ships do have a self-serve dispenser of high end wines in the library which I think is great. This ship had one of those in the Garden Cafe, but I think it only had the standard wines available in every bar on the ship available, not the high end wines available on the full restaurant wine list.
