Hi there! We are cruising in May to the Bahamas. One of our stops is Freeport. My husband and I will be cruising with our two girls, ages 5 and 9. We've been to the Bahamas, but never Freeport. I'm aware it's not the best of the Caribbean, but we'd still like to get off the boat and enjoy a day on the island. We prefer adventure over a day at the pool (we can do that at home). Any suggestions of something fun for the kids? I was thinking of Paradise Cove, but my husband doesn't think it looks kid friendly. Would love your suggestions and input!! 🙂

**For reference, we're doing a dolphin swim and Blue Lagoon in Nassau and just a day at the beach at Half Moon Cay on our other days. 

We are headed to Nassau at the end of the month, and still haven't decided what we'll do while we're there. There will be 4 adults (29-65) and two small children, ages 4-years and 9-months. We were originally planning on Atlantis, but it's a little out of budget right now. We have been trying to find something to do that doesn't require a taxi, as to avoid loading/carrying carseats. I found the British Colonial Hilton is walking distance from the pier. So- to anyone who's been: is it family/child friendly? Also, what were your general opinions? Worth the money?

Thanks! :)

Good afternoon! I'm hoping y'all can help me decide on the best cruise for our family situation.

We will be cruising with my parents and our two daughters in August. Our girls are 4-years and (in August) 9-months. We're on a tight budget, so we are looking at 3-5 day cruises. We are driving from VA, so don't want to go any further than Port Canaveral. We aren't terribly picky and just have fun being together, but I also want my 4-year-old to have plenty to do. All that said, these are the two cruise options we've found...

5-day, Carnival Elation from Jacksonville to Half Moon Cay and Nassau. Slightly cheaper, shorter drive.

4-day, RC Majesty of the Seas from Port Canaveral to CocoCay and Nassau. Little water park area for our 4-year-old.

The Carnival cruise seems like a better deal at a day longer for less money, but I've never cruised with kids, so I'm not sure which cruise line or ship would be better! I've actually never cruised on RC, so I don't have a point of reference there, but I've heard they're nicer...?

Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?

Thank you! I haven't used the boards in several years. How do I get to the family board?

Hi everyone! My parents have asked us to cruise with them in August, and we are so excited to vacation together. We're on a tight budget, so we're pretty much tied to a 3-5 day cruise. We will be bringing our two little ones, who are 4-years-old and (at the time of the cruise) 9-months-old.

We are looking at a 5 day out of Jacksonville on the Elation. Stops are Half Moon Cay and Nassau. We cruised a few times before kids, but never with them! What are your thoughts on this ship and little ones? Any advice or opinions are appreciated! :)
