5 Reasons to Try a Bahamas Cruise
-- Visit several ports of call in one trip. Cruising is foreign travel without any worry because your hotel comes along with you. Sample the culture of destinations around the world without the transportation hassles.
-- Terrific value. One price buys your accommodations, meals, onboard activities, entertainment, and more. Cruising is unbeatable as an economical and convenient way for families to see the world together.
-- Kids' programs. Major cruise lines understand that parental relaxation and kid fun are both important elements in a successful vacation. Kids and teens are thrilled by such onboard activities as waterslides and teen discos. On Royal Caribbean ships, kids from ages 3 to 17 can enjoy participating in complimentary Adventure Ocean(R) Youth Programs, blending educational activities with just plain fun. Kids learn about local customs, try cool science experiments, and make new friends in the process. Norwegian Cruise Line offers Kids Crew(TM) with circuses, crafts, campouts complete with tents and flashlights, cooking classes, and more.
-- The option to do everything or nothing at all. A cruise offers as active and involving a vacation as you'd like. It's up to you to pick and choose exactly what's most appealing from the remarkable range of activities and enrichment. Keep busy with sightseeing, sports, cultural lectures, and educational tours. Try shore excursions such as snorkeling in the crystal clear waters, walking tours in historic Nassau, carriage rides or any of the many watersports available among the islands of The Bahamas. Or, ignore it all and simply lounge by the pool and relax.
-- No daily packing and unpacking. On a typical land-based vacation, you'd be packing and unpacking every time you drove to a new city. On a cruise, you unpack once and that's it.
A great option for a first-time Bahamas cruise is the following example sailing from CruisesOnly (airfare not included):
