When is the best time to take a cruise to the Bahamas?

Because the Bahamas are located in "Hurricane Country" you want to avoid the summer for trips to the Bahamas. Spring and winter will have the best weather and best temperatures! The best time to cruise in the Bahamas with the best weather is sometime between March and May. Pricewise, the cruise would be cheaper if taken in September or October.

The average high temperatures for the Bahamas drop below 80 degrees Fahrenheit from December through March, according to the World Weather Organization. They get into the upper 80s from May through October.

Rainfall is a different story. Rainfall is quite low during the winter, but it spikes in the late summer because of the hurricane season. Historically, August is the worst month for total rainfall and number of days that it rains. May has the best combination of warm temperatures and low average rainfall.

How long would it take to fly from Ft Lauderdale to the Bahamas?

It will take much longer to get to the airport and check in than the flight itself. Depending on where you are traveling in the Bahamas it will take anywhere from about 30 minutes to an hour. It also depends on the type of aircraft you are flying in. There are jets that are much faster but this trip is also a lot of fun in much smaller planes that might hold as few as 3 passengers and the pilot. Have fun.

Do you need a passport book or passport card to go on a cruise to the Bahamas from us?

Assuming you are a U.S. citizen, the short answer is "NO". Having said that, I ALWAYS recommend a passport for travel outside the U.S. The reasoning is simple. Ever heard of Murphy's Law?

If you go without a passport, and no problems arise, you come home and all is well. If you catch a cold, or if you need to get home NOW because Mama got sick, or if you break your ankle getting back to the ship after a few drinks, or if you just look like someone else and are detained past the ship's sailing, how do you get home?

Odds are you will make it home eventually, although, you will hate the day you thought of leaving w/out that passport (or card). I will NOT be quick. It will NOT be fun. If you LOVE the government when you leave, you'll hate it before you get home! Of course, they're just doing their jobs, and, you were "WARNED" before you left the states.

The card is okay, but, the "passport" is internationally accepted as a form of ID for a few dollars more.

When is the most affordable time of year to take a cruise in the Bahamas?

Prices for cruises to the Bahamas are the lowest during hurricane season, particularly the month of October, when kids are back in school and the weather is unpredictable.
