Locked into a busy day? Here's the play.

–9am

Own the morning.The ships dock and unload mid-morning. The headline sights before nine are yours.

10–5

Go where the day-trippers don't.Away from the headline sights it stays manageable all day. Save the marquee ones.

5pm+

Take the city back.Ships sail by early evening and the squares empty out — the best hour of the day.

The heaviest port day is Sat 20 Mar — 6 ships in at once. See the marquee sights on a lighter day, or be there for opening time.
On the busy days, the walk-up queues for the big sights are the biggest time-sink — a timed-entry ticket skips them, which is where a busy month is won or lost.

March weather in Nassau

Comfortably warm — around 26°C / 80°F, easy shirtsleeve weather, with rain on about 10 days, so keep a layer handy.

Nassau gets rain on about 10 days in March, so the odds of being caught out are real. What earns its bag space is a shell that packs to nothing, dries fast and has a hood that survives wind; a heavy waterproof is overkill and an umbrella is one more thing to carry through crowds.

Is March worth it in Nassau?

Heavy crowds and only fair weather to show for it — a poor trade. For better value, come in February or December.

Book beds and the big-ticket sights well ahead, and start your days by eight — in a month this full, the early hours are the only uncrowded ones.
