For more information on The Bahamas visit bahamas.com.

NASSAU/PARADISE ISLAND Bahamas/Nassau Quick Facts

• Bahamas Governor-General: The Hon. Cornelius A. Smith • Prime Minister: Dr. The Hon. Hubert A. Minnis • New Providence Island (Nassau) Population: 246,329 (2010) • Tourist Visits: 3.7 million (2018) • Average temperature high (December) 79° • Average temperature low (December) 63°

Nassau & Paradise Island

With the lure of a big city and the ease of a tropical utopia, Nassau & Paradise Island are considered by many as, well, paradise. Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas, is a bustling metropolitan hub full of culture and modern amenities. To the north lies Paradise Island. Its name tells you everything. It’s 685 acres of pure euphoria, developed almost ex- clusively to delight and accommodate visitors. The island boasts resorts, hotels, restaurants, shops, nightlife, a golf course, aquarium and a casino.

Nassau, the capital city of The Bahamas, is located on 21-mile-long New Providence, the Bahamas’ 11th-largest island. Nassau’s main harbor is protected by Paradise Island. The harbor attracted settlers in the early days, particularly pirates. In fact, Nassau’s population consisted mainly of pirates until 1718, when The Bahamas ﬁ rst Royal Gover- nor, Woodes Rogers expelled them, restored order and built Fort Nassau. The Bahamas for centuries adopted Rogers’ motto, “Expulsis Piratis, Restituta Commercia,” which means, “Pirates Expelled, Commerce Restored.” Now, 246,000 people call New Providence Island home, with a large portion of them residing in Nassau.

Junkanoo, a Bahamian national festival, is a kaleidoscope of colors and sound. The rhythmic sounds of cowbells, goat skin drums and whistles, accompanied by an array of brass instruments, create a sweet musical beat that will move you; while brilliantly colored costumes capture your eye, and bring much visual delight. This bi-annual cultural highlight takes place on Bay Street in New Providence and other Family Islands during the early morning hours, from 1-9 am on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) and New Year’s Morning.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE MEDIA PASSPORTS: The Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl reminds all media that all U.S. citizens coming to the Bowl must have a valid United States Passport for the time of travel. It is possible to secure passports on short notice, but costs will be much higher for the individuals involved and delays in receiving passports are possible during the holiday season. For information on how to obtain a U.S. Passport, visit passports.state.gov. For obtaining an expedited passport in a hurry, visit travel.state.gov/content/travel/ en/passports/apply-renew-passport/hurry.html.

UNITED STATES EMBASSY: The United States Embassy in the Bahamas is located at 42 Queen Street in Nassau. The American Citizen Services Unit stands ready to help American citizens in The Bahamas – and their loved ones – in emergency situations. American citizens overseas, of course, remain subject to the laws of the country they are in. The American Citizens Services Unit can assist in areas, including: illness/injury, lost/stolen U.S. Passport, arrest/detention, victims of crime, etc.

In case of emergencies involving the death, injury, welfare, or arrest of an American citizen in The Bahamas, please call 242-322- 1181, ext. 1 during business hours (8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Thursday; 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Friday), or 242-322-1181, ext 43111 at all other times. (Please note that the Duty Ofﬁ cer who answers this number will not be able to assist with visa or routine passport matters.) The U.S. Embassy website is bs.usembassy.gov.

CELL PHONES/INTERNET: The Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl staff reminds media that cell phone roaming rates for voice and data usage in the Bahamas can be extremely high per minute. All participants should check with their cell-phone service provider for pertinent information on current international/roaming rates. Phones can be used in “Airplane Mode” in the Bahamas (no data usage) in order to use phone cameras, etc. Atlantis Bahamas has WiFi in rooms (free)/some public areas (daily fee if not staying at Atlantis). Calling cards for public phones located in the resort can be purchased at the Atlantis. You can also use apps like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc. while using WiFi.

CURRENCY: The legal tender is the Bahamian dollar, which is equivalent to the U.S. dollar. U.S. currency is accepted throughout the Bahamas, as are most major credit cards and traveler’s checks. ATMs are located at both Paradise Island and Cable Beach ca- sinos, Rawson Square, major banks and in most hotels.

ELECTRICITY: With standard North American 120-volt/60-cycle AC electrical current, you will be able to operate American lap- tops, electronics, hairdryers, shavers and other small electrical appliances without adapters.

GETTING AROUND: From the Lynden Pindling International Airport, taxi rates are approximately $32 to downtown Nassau, $22 to Cable Beach and $38 to Paradise Island (plus the $2 bridge toll to PI) - based on two passengers (extra bags/passengers will cost more). Taxi service is available from the Atlantis to take you into Nassau to visit tourist areas, restaurants, etc. Shared van rides into downtown Nassau from the Atlantis run $5 per person (you will be dropped off in downtown Nassau near the Government House), while solo taxi rides run $13 to downtown with higher rates outside the downtown zone. Unshared rides from downtown Nassau back to the Atlantis are $13 per person (not including the $2 bridge toll for taxis to get back to Paradise Island).

Ferry boats (water taxis) can take you between Nassau and Paradise Island while at the same time giving you a waterfront view of Nassau Harbour. Tickets can be purchased at the tour desk at Festival Place and at Woodes Rogers Wharf right next door. Tickets cost $6 per person (plus a suggested $1 tip for the storyteller who usually accompanies the ride) and the trip is approximately 10 minutes each way. Ferries leave every half hour on the hour from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

City buses, known locally as “jitneys”, run in downtown Nassau and Cable Beach several times a day. The cost for a one-way ride is $1.50 per person, and exact change is required. Pay as you exit the bus.

TIPPING: Restaurants and hotels automatically add 15% to all food and beverage checks in lieu of gratuity. For exceptional service you may wish to leave something extra. Bellboys, doormen and porters usually receive $3 per bag. Taxi drivers should be tipped about 15% of the fare.

CUSTOMS: U.S. citizens out of the country for 48 hours are allowed up to $800 worth of duty-free merchandise. Less than 48 hours, the duty-free exemption is $200. Limitations include 32 ounces of tobacco for those over 21 and no more than two liters of alcohol. To make traveling easier, consider packing things you’re going to declare separately and keep all your sales receipts.

MEDICAL FACILITIES: Internationally trained doctors are available at the hotels and throughout the Nassau Paradise Island. Two hospitals are fully equipped to respond to emergency medical situations. Princess Margaret Hospital (public) and Doctor’s Hospital (private) are both located in Nassau. Page 16
