Nassau and Grand Bahama Island

In the past went with Royal (loved it) in Nov going on NCL with my 73 year old mom - her first cruise.
She gets sick from being in the sun, doesn't do water activities. I booked a Bahama cruise (should have picked something else but it's too late now).

Where do you recommend to go while at Nassau & Grand Bahama Island??
Can I take a safe taxi ride and ask to see the best of the island?

Anyone have pictures of either I can show her as well???

I just got back from there also with my mom who is 73 coincidentally We took a 2 hour tour with a taxi that a was offered at the entrance to the pier. An organized group of taxi drivers offer the tour part of the island, a bit of the residential area passing by some of the old churches, on to the queen's staircase which has a fort and little market. then he took us onto Paradise Island and to the aquarium in the Atlantis hotel. He was so informative and well versed in all of the marine life at the hotel. My mom did beautifully and we totally enjoyed the experience. We had Dan the Man as our taxi driver and we had 2 other couples in our airconditioned van We felt very safe.

Hi Jlcljmjc,
Thank you so much for this answer - this is exactly what I was hoping to hear!
Did you ever go to the Grand Bahama Island - would the same thing work there?
