On my last trip to Nassau (this past April), they'd REALLY cleaned up with area around where the cruise ships dock. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not see nearly as many of the idiots selling the fake Cuban's and a MUCH larger police presence. Though they still have the knuckleheads trying to "give away" the cheap Chinese made necklaces that are supposed to look like locally crafted stuff. My wife nearly fell for that scam until I intervened...

The flea market that used to have tons of knock off purses, watches, etc. is now only selling Bahamas related SWAG. You can't find a Louis Vasquez purse to save your soul! LOL You can still pick up fake Cubans in the stores along the strip, but I even noticed they are not nearly as well stocked as I'd seen previously...
