What to pack on a cruise to the Bahamas?

I'm going on a cruise to the Bahamas. Help!! What do I need to pack?

• The cruise leaves on Sunday. I am told that the weather would be hot there. Does anyone have any good tips on packing for a cruise? Has anyone ever been to the Bahamas and have any good ideas on what to do? I'm excited, but don't know what I need to bring (money or otherwise). Thanks!!!

• Answer:

  well for starters, I've been on several cruises with Carnival cruise lines and they usually give you the option to "upload" a credit card to your room key/card. With that, you can basically walk around the whole ship without any cash and it's easier. You just have to be aware of where you place it and such. You'll be using your cash for your souvenirs while at the Bahamas. Second, take shorts, skirts, cotton shirts, all that good stuff you use during the summer. It'll be warm, enjoy it! Third, once you get there, you'll usually get attacked by all the taxi drivers! It'll be very overwhelming so don't rush into getting a taxi without knowing where to go first. They'll most likely take you wherever you would like to go. But, there are some that always, always take you to the Atlantis Hotel. And tell you there is a beach there. The Hotel is nice but you have to pay a price for the aquarium and it's not that serious unless you are staying there. Go to the market, and tell them to take you to another beach. I forgot the name of the beach but it's ride about 40 minutes to an hour but it's really nice. You really get the feel of the people and its culture. So, take your time and do some reasearch first! I hope you enjoy your visit and sorry for the long essay! have fun!
