Pay close attention... When you visit Grand Bahama Island, the local taxi services are all very tightly runned when you come off ship... in order to keep prices down, they huddle all the wandering passengers into TWO groups when you disembark... One group is taken to "the beach," the other group is taken "shopping," and that shopping group gets dropped off here, at the Lucaya Marketplace... For those anticipating a robust "downtown area," and chose the "shopping," taxi, you may be disapointed that its really just a large outdoor one-story mall, and not a "downtown area" per say... One side of the island has the "beaches," and the other side, Lucaya Marketplace... so you are forced to chose which group you want to jump in on... This "huddling" taxi technique, allows large vans to take multiple passengers per destination, and, keep the cost at an affordable $7 each way... But impatient travelers may get frustrated at the lack of autonomy associated with choosing your own taxi and going "where you want," and, having to WAIT until they huddle ENOUGH passengers to actually send a taxi out... Otherwise, if you try to find your own private taxi, out side of the organized clan in port, you're looking at about $35 each way... The marketplace is "ok," nothing spectacular, you may want to chose "beach" when they ask you "where do you want to go?" when you come off the ship...

Great place to shop, there is a duty free store and alot of local gift shops. In our opinion this is the best place to go shopping if you want a bang for your buck. One side of the marketplace has restaurants. There is a Cuban cigar store we liked. Prices are about what you would expect to pay for Cuban Cigars. There is a local yogurt shop, it reminded me of Cherry Berry from the US, just a lot more expensive. For two yogurts with limited toppings was over $17.00 which I thought was high. We purchased bug spray from the duty free store, it was around $15. Any toiletry item in our opinion was always high. Towards the back of the marketplace there are small little shops with different local merchandise, we had alot of fun. It was about 10 minutes away from it hotel and costed $26.00 one way per taxi ride. Hope this review helps

Bajamos de Paradise Cruise Lines y llegamos a Grand Bahama y al puerto Lucaya Primero para contarles la experiencia en el crucero; Para mi en lo particular una experiencia grandiosa, el personal, la atención, la comida, los expectáculos y ambientes son fenomenales. Al principio estaba exceptico de su servicio vs el precio, espere recibir algo de menor calidad o sin tantos detalles, pero lo contrario; es fabuloso, por el precio que se paga. Cuando uno llega al puerto de Palm Beach, tendrás que pasar un tiempo en el registro con la autoridad portuaria ( no es tan engorroso), una vez que se termina este, pasas al barco y te asignas tus habitaciones (son muy buenas, amplias, nuevas, no tienen un mal aspecto por ningun lado) y pues bueno empieza tu aventura. Puedes recorrer el barco y empezar a conocer todas las actividades que tienen, su casino, el teatro y los bares estan muy bien. Puedes suvir a cubierta y encontraras la piscina (pequeña para mi gusto) pero recorriendo puedes encontrar un jacuzzi que va bien y tienen un vista fenomenal. En la noche hay un ambiente muy prendido que te llama a fiesta, o si deseas algo mas tranquilo puedes ir a los bares donde encuentras música en vivo (los grupos son muy buenos). La comida, es bufett y muy buena, realmente no me quejo de lo variado y el sabor que tiene, adicional que puedes reservar en sus restaurantes una cena especial si de eso se trata. Sin embargo yo me quede con el bufett y nos fue muy bien, sabroso, lo volvería a repetir y volveria a servirme cada uno de sus platos. Las bebidas son muy buenas (no excelentes) pero pasan el rato, cumplen su proposito que es relajarte o elevarte un poco, no vienen incluido las alcholicas y tendras que pagar por eso, (tampoco el precio es exagerado así que va bien). Realmente lo que mas me facinó fue su teatro y los espectáculos que presentan es genial, son bien elavorados y cumplen su propósito que es pasar una noche divertida. Las habitaciones tienen televisión por cable, pero creo que no la necesitarás ya que si sabes divertirte puedes pasar todo el día afuera. El personal es muy amable, atento y servicial, tienen un lugar especial para niños asi que tambien pueden desconectarse de ellos por un tiempo. Nosotros llegamos al puerto de Lucaya en Bahamas, los precios son un poco elevados sin embargo esta bien, las artesanias con chinas (asi con no existen), la comida en los restaurantes va bien, el precio un tanto elevado.

Danny Brown seafood is what makes this place.... well the chocolatier as well! But that seafood.. was the bomb! It really bothers me that I can't find that here in TN. Caribbean people are everywhere across the world. So why can't I find their food here in Nashville TN? Why can't I get cracked conch and fried Lobster till here in Nashville? Yeah we literally watched him handmade the Conch salad! Every bit of the ingredients we watched him make! And I liked his style of slicing the tomatoes. I will be using his technique! The chocolatier was the bomb as well. They had a lot of dark chocolate which I'm not used to chocolatier stores promoting! If anybody knows of cracked conch or fried lobster tail being sold in Nashville Tennessee please hit me up!

I visited the Island April of 2018. We did the tour on the double decker bus to the market from the cruise ship for $5 each way. We ate at the Greek restaurant which their service was a little questionable the food was mediocre at best. I was able to shop duty free at most stores other than the small convenience store😩. The conch stand Daddy Brown had a variety of seafood foods not to expensive but, the food was good. At the back end of the market is a small convenience store which had snacks, drinks/water, pain relievers and Knick knacks( they were cheaper than the ship and the other stores you see first). The vendors are reasonable the will negotiate with you. I enjoyed my time there and don’t forget to take advantage of the duty free shopping.

Lots of fun if you are looking for a simple and affordable place to visit from your cruise ship. they have tons of taxis to get you here very cheap. The place is colorful and vibrant. street performers (bring some pocket change/cash) and people to do your hair, along with shops and places to eat. Go to the stand where they do the coconut drinks, they cut the coconut right in front of you! Our family had some great conch soup at Zorbas. The stores do have a lot of imported goods, but if you look around you will find hand-made local stuff, especially carved or woven goods. Bring a swim suit, a very short walk away from a free public beach (playa) . the beach wasn't crowded either.
