"Yes, too many to name but the one that stands out is refusing to pay 15% gratuity on service/no service and complaining on a regular basis to managers," said another expat in Nassau, Bahamas.
"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting Nassau. It is considered rude to wear revealing clothing in public, so it is best to dress modestly. It is also important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to avoid engaging in activities that are illegal in the Bahamas. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of the local culture and to avoid making jokes or comments that could be seen as offensive. Finally, it is important to be mindful of the environment and to avoid littering or damaging the natural environment," wrote a member who made the move to Nassau, Bahamas.
