"Nassau Bahamas. It’s the busiest cruise ship port in the world, and not for good reasons. It’s a cheap place to stop that can accommodate the largest cruise ships, it’s close to Florida, and fulfills the requirement of “at least one foreign stop” for US cruises to operate without following US labor laws.

I could forgive that if the port was actually nice. It’s not. Traffic sucks, public transit is bad, and the area immediately surrounding the port has some of the most aggressive vendors you’ll ever find.

It’s all for the convenience of the cruise companies and none for the customer."
