What is a Nassau?

Nassau is when u play three separate matches during an 18 hole round. For example you play the front for a dollar the back for a dollar and total 18 for 3 dollars.

How do you get from Nassau to Paradise Island in the Bahamas?

You can take a taxi, its about a 30 minute car ride from the airport.

How is the Carnival cruise to the Bahamas?

The question you've posed is quite vague. Carnival is a cruise line and a trip to the Bahamas can vary by season. Soooo, the best advice would be for you to do some homework and select the itinerary and ship that suits you. Then visit an amazing website 'cruisecritic.com' where you can read unbiased reviews from cruisers just like yourself and get their feedback on everything from food, service, cleanliness, activities, embarkation and more. You can even look for reviews from people who cruised around the same time you're planning to see more variables like weather and ports of call! After your cruise, why not contribute a review of your own to share with the world? Happy Sailing! On the "Love Boat" as seen in the popular TV series, the seven day cruise takes you to four locations, the Bahamas being one. Carnival owns a beach there where you will stop for the day. On the long white sand beach (the sand was shipped in I am told), there are tents for shade, chairs along the beach, a bandstand, and a place to grill out. The water is crystal clear giving excellent visibility for snorkling so bring your fins. You will never come in contact with anyone from the Bahamas as the beach is private, fenced, and the perimeter is walked by uniformed men with large guns and dogs. All of this is hidden with beautiful foliage. Well it depends what cruise you want to go on exactly. I went on the four day cruise to Bahamas. The first day you're sailing and you getting used to the boat. The next day you arrive at Nassau Bahamas, Approxitmately 8:00 am. You can get off the boat whenever you want but you must be back on the boat by 6:30 am the next mornig. On the third day you stay out in the ocean and there are parties and different events you can attend. On the fourth day you arrive back to Florida or wherver the dock is, at 8:00 am. The food is actually very good and the boat is clean. Room service does a great job also. Overall I loved the cruise and thought it was worth every cent. I hope this answers your question!You can also visit some blogs you can find in Google about all of those who had experience with the cruise on that place.

Hope You Enjoy!

Do you need a passport to go on a cruise?

US Passports on CruisesIt depends on your itinerary:
  • Cruises that begin at a US port and end at the same US port: No passport required
  • Cruises that begin at a US port and end at a different US port: Passport required
  • Cruises that begin or end at any foreign (non-US) port: Passport required

Always check with your travel agent or cruise line about identification requirements. When in doubt, bring your passport. It can't hurt to have it.

The US State Department released the newest cruise guidelines in June 2009:

"Effective June 1, 2009, the following rules take effect for cruise passengers:

U.S. citizens on cruise voyages that begin and end at the same U.S. port (closed-loop itineraries) must show proof of citizenship* and government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license). A passport will not be required for passengers that fall into this category.

*Proof of Citizenship documents include: Original or certified copy of birth certificate; Naturalization papers; Consular Report of Birth Abroad issued by Department of State

All other passengers and/or itineraries (such as cruises which begin in one U.S. port and return to a different U.S. port or any cruise that begins or ends in a foreign port) will require a passport or other recognized document. For a list of accepted documents, see travel.state.gov."

It should be noted the above only applies to US citizens. If you visit a country of which you are not a native, you should always bring a passport.

Further, it is recommended that you get a passport anyway. If for some reason (illness, other emergency) you must leave your ship and fly back home early, you must have a passport to do that. With passports being valid for 10 years (for adults), the cost works out to around $10 per year. Why would you want to take a chance and not have one?

Where are best quarters on cruise ship?

This really depends on your own personal preference. If you are not planning to spend a lot of time in your cabin, and want the best value for your buck - an inside cabin is perfect for you. However if you want to actually see the light of day, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg, why not condiser an oceanview cabin? These often feature a port hole or picture window. If you're planning to spend quite a bit of time in your cabin and really want to relax - a balcony, mini-suite or suite may be the stateroom for you. And, if money is no object and you're really looking to live the high life - check out the villas and penthouses. They are extravagant and often come with Concierge and Butler service! As far as where in the vessel you will find the best accommodations - midships and on a higher deck is always preferred. Also, try to avoid cabins near elevator landings, crew service doors and all the way forward (where the motion of the ocean may make you sick at night). Happy sailing!!

If going on a cruise to the Bahamas do you need a passport card or book?

NO passport needed, as long as you return to the same port you left from. You may need your drivers license and/or a birth certificate to prove you're an American citizen.

Your daughter is going on a cruise to the Bahamas with her friends family she is 12 does she need a passport?

If your daughter's cruise is departing from the US beforesummer 2008, she will need only a certified copy of her birth certificate (it will have a raised stamp) and a photo id. Implementation of the Department of Homeland Security's regulations for passports for travel to the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada have been delayed until summer 2008.

If she'll be traveling in the latter part of next year, she probably will need a passport -- if the new regulations are in effect.

It would be a good idea to have her take a notarized statement from both parents that gives their permission for her to leave the country.

How many miles from Norfolk VA to Nassau Bahamas?

Distance between Baltimore, MD, United States and Nassau, The Bahamas, as the crow flies: 821 miles (1322 km) (714 nautical miles)

Can you kayak from Florida to the Bahamas?

That trip would be very strenuous and probably not possible for an experienced kayaker in one day. Most likely it has been done, though. The distance from the Florida mainland (near West Palm Beach) to the closest part of the islands is about 70 miles. That is a huge distance.

Do you need a passport to go on a closed loop cruise?

If it involves going to another country, yes. And if your cruise lands somewhere other than Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, or Bermuda, you'll need a passport book, not just the passport card.
