Better to spend time at Atlantis or on the water. Be careful at night---don't go out alone in some parts of Nassau.

<< <i>We go on cruises about 1 a year and the last several we have gone on that have stopped in Nassau we have either stayed on the ship or taken an excursion to Atlantis for some beach time or gambling. Walking through town is a waste of time. >>

<< <i>Security Message: Recent Violent Criminal Incidents in Popular Areas of Nassau
March 25, 2015
The U.S. Embassy in Nassau advises U.S. citizens residing in and traveling to The Bahamas to be aware of their surroundings and remain on heightened alert to avoid being a victim of crime. As reported in the State Department’s Country Specific Information for The Bahamas, armed robbery remains a major criminal threat facing U.S. citizens in The Bahamas, with the crime threat on New Providence listed as “critical.”
This past weekend, two violent incidents occurred in areas heavily frequented by U.S. citizen visitors and residents. On Sunday night, March 22, a man was stabbed and killed on the main sidewalk of Arawak Cay, in an area known as the “Fish Fry.” In the early morning hours of March 23, a man was at his business establishment at Compass Point when an unidentified man shot, critically wounded and robbed him before fleeing on foot.
In light of these events, U.S. citizens residing in or traveling to The Bahamas should review their personal security plans. Remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news stations for updates. Maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security.
If you are the victim of a crime abroad (including the loss or theft of a U.S. passport), you should immediately contact the local police (dial “919”). Contact with the Embassy should be made as soon as possible thereafter.
If you encounter a violent or threatening situation, try to remain calm and immediately get yourself out of harm’s way. If confronted by armed criminals, remember your vehicle or valuables are not worth your or anyone else’s life. We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in The Bahamas enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes it easier for the U.S. embassy or nearest U.S. consulate to contact you in an emergency. If you don’t have Internet access, enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. >>

The place is now a total slumland. I was there 10 years ago and while it was still a Sh**hole, it was not anything like it was when I was there this past April. I am surprised the cruise ships keep stopping here.
enjoy your vacation

<< <i>We've been to Atlanits several times and really loved it. Same w "One and Only Ocean Club". Has Atlantis changed? We were last there in 2012. It was fantastic. >>
Your out on Paradise Island. Go across that bridge and you are instantly in a bad third world country. It is really different in a short period of time. (As the warning above shows)
