Some Spectacular Bahamas Beaches Presented By Caribbean Cruise Line Reviews

Online, May 11, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Caribbean Cruise Line offers a variety of articles to assist you with all your cruise needs in the Caribbean and the Bahamas in specific. Caribbean Cruise Line reviews vacation destinations in the Bahamas to include Our Lucaya and Grand Bahama Island. The Bahamas is officially known as the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and is a nation consisting of more than 3,000 islands, cays, and islets so it would be impossible for Caribbean Cruise Line to review all the possible destinations. However, some of the most popular Caribbean Cruise Line destinations include beaches and resorts and shopping locations, so Caribbean Cruise Line offers informative articles relating to these interests. We hope your next vacation is memorable and that you find our articles helpful.

Geographically speaking, the Bahamas is one of the most unusual countries on the globe. Altogether it encompasses more than 700 islands and 2,000 cays ("keys," which are really just tiny islands). A former British colony, it is now a self-governing commonwealth, though its close proximity to Florida means that the culture of the Bahamas has strong American influences as well as British. Its islands include popular tourist sites such as New Providence Island and Grand Bahama Island, as well as less-traveled spots such as the calm beauty Eleuthera and the jet-set playground of Bimini. Each island in the chain has its own unique character, making the Bahamas a fascinating place to explore.

What to Do:
You could simply enjoy the sun and surf, but The Bahamas has far more to offer. One of the main reasons to visit the Bahamas is to go island-hopping and check out the various islands. You can do this is through BahamasAir, the national airline, which connects nineteen island airports via small commuter planes. Another way to go is by boat (either by charter or by the old-fashioned mail boats). In some cases, getting from one island to another is as easy as walking across a bridge, as in the case of New Providence Island (where the capital city of Nassau is), and Paradise Island (where the massive Atlantis complex is).

Speaking of Atlantis, it's worth noting that while it is a resort, many of its attractions - such as the Waterscape (a tunnel where you are surrounded by water and aquatic creatures, such as sharks and moray eels) - are open to non-guests.

On Grand Bahama Island, the Dolphin Experience at Sanctuary Bay offers and unforgettable encounter for kids (they can see the playful mammals up close, and even get right into the water with the dolphins).

On New Providence Island, Stuart Cove is famous for its snorkeling trips that take you out to see coral reefs teeming with colorful fish, and that take you into the water with reef sharks (a favorite with kids for obvious reasons).

Where to Stay:
On Grand Bahama Island, the Crowne Plaza Golf Resort & Casino at the Royal Oasis is really two properties that have been merged under the same name. The hotel offers family vacation packages, children's menus, two playgrounds and a swimming pool for kids; doubles start at $149.

Over on Paradise Island, the Atlantis Resort & Casino has as onsite 14-acre waterpark, an innovative children's program that's only available to guests, and children's menus; doubles start at $240.
