Creator's Key Takeaways

I've taken dozens of cruises to the Bahamas, and there are a few things to know before you visit the country on a cruise.

I certainly didn't regret it, but it's not the kind of cruise I plan my family vacations around.

I think if you're looking for your first cruise, I would definitely lean towards a seven night sailing.

My biggest takeaway for visiting the Bahamas is to plan ahead and understand when you're going to the Bahamas that having a plan for what you're going to do while you're there on shore is really critical.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Plan ahead for shore activities in Nassau.
βœ“Pre-purchase restaurant reservations and onboard experiences to save money.
βœ“Consider a seven-night cruise for a first-time cruiser instead of a short sailing.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Choosing a short cruise to test if they like cruising β€” Lean towards a seven-night sailing instead, as first-timers often enjoy cruising more than expected.
Water temperature in winter months β€” Consider heated pool areas like Cocoa Beach Club or Hideaway Beach at Perfect Day CocoCay.
