Yes, US citizens need a valid US passport to fly to the Bahamas and every other country.

You can travel by ship on a cruise to the Bahamas with a government-issued photo ID and a certified copy of your birth certificate, but you will need a passport to travel by plane.

Yes, if you are flying to the Bahamas.

No, if you are taking a cruise that begins and ends at the same home port in the United States, and includes the Bahamas as a port of call. In that case, a drivers license (or other State issued ID) and Birth Certificate is acceptable as well.

The Bahamas is part of America, situated in the Caribbean south of the US. If you do not belong to the country, you will require a passport to go through the border.

Yes - you do now. This has changed in the last few years. The Bahamas is an independent country but recognize the Queen as ceremonial head of state
