Has anyone done a Bahamas cruise?

I want to plan a trip for DH and I next spring for our 2 year anniv. I would like to do a cruise and the Bahamas seems like the cheapest way to go (I don't want to go to Mexico). But we would probably only do a 3 or 4 day cruise b/c we are limited on PTO each. Would a 3 or 4 day be worth it? 3 day you are only in the Bahamas for 1 day so figured either we could do that and spend an extra day in Florida or do the 4 day.

 I would rather go some place that is just in driving distance but want to be on a beach and would like this trip to be somewhat all inclusive.

Re: Has anyone done a Bahamas cruise?

  • I did a short 3 day cruise and 2 days were cruising and one day in Nassau.  The boat was small and I had motion sickness the whole time (and won't even consider another cruise because of it).  I wasn't a big fan, it didn't give me enough time in Nassau, I felt very rushed and wanting to make sure I didn't miss the boat on the departure! 
  • We did one for our honeymoon, but we left on monday and back in on Friday. I felt like this was to short so I can't imagine just one stop. We stopped in key west,Nassau (we felt it we either didn't get enough time here or just wasn't our style) and the other day weWere to stop at the cruise lines private island but the weather was bad we couldn't get into shore.I would definately not go any shorter than the mon-fri one but that's my opinion.

  • We did a 3 night one in February, out of Miami a couple years ago. The only stop we made was in the Bahamas. I wasn't a huge fan. 

    It rained the whole time and was cold. So we didn't get to lay by the pool or play on the sand. I felt like the only real thing to do in the Bahamas was the boat outings and they were expensive. The boat was on the small side and there wasn't a whole heck of a lot to do. I felt like we spent a lot of time gambling.

    There are a lot of other mini vacations I would do before I went on another cruise. Halloween weekend DH and I went to San Diego and stayed in a beach house for 3 nights for the same price as the cruise was. We had such a wonderful time and I would do another trip like this in a heart beat.
