If money is not an issue to you, then try premium or luxury lines.
Specialty cruises are for those with special preferences and tastes.
Rooms/cabins

When and what to bring
When to travel
March to November is the busiest season for Bahamas cruises, so prices during this period can go quite high.
To get the best Bahamas cruise deals, try booking during the off peak season which typically runs from November to March.
What to bring with you
Bring some swimwear with you as the pristine beaches of the Bahamas might tempt you to frolic in the sand and the sea.
Also, bring hats, sunglasses, shorts and sunblock.
Cruise dinners typically have a formal theme, so it is recommended that you also pack some evening wear such as cocktail dresses and suits.
You should also include lightweight clothing in your luggage for land excursions.
