Last month, a friend and I took a cruise to the Bahamas aboard the Norwegian Sky of Norwegian Cruise Lines.
I have always wanted to visit the Bahamas and finally I got to go.
We had a great time visiting the islands with stops in Freeport, Nassau and doing some jet skiing at Great Stirrup Cay (a private island owned by Norwegian Cruise Line). The weather was generally decent with some rain, but it didn't dampen our enjoyment.

As things happen, Lonely Planet has just posted a guide to the Bahamas for first-timers. It is worth a look-see for those interested in going there.
It begins with:
The Bahamas, an archipelago of 700 islands and cays (though only 30 are inhabited), is celebrated for its dazzling turquoise and pink waters, pristine beaches, and balmy weather.
Yet, this island nation offers more than just picturesque scenery – it's a vibrant mosaic of culture and history. From the rhythmic beats of Junkanoo to the mouthwatering flavors of fresh conch and sweet guava duff, The Bahamas transforms every visit into a lively adventure.
Whether diving into blue holes, sailing across sparkling seas, or reveling in local parades, each island invites you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Bahamian life. Our first-timer's guide has everything you need to know before you go.
