The Bahamas have long been favored as a Caribbean cruise destination, and some of the world’s biggest and best resorts, like Atlantis, have put these islands on the kid-friendly vacation map in recent years. Regardless of how you arrive in the Bahamas, even if it is just for the day while your ship docks, you’ll love the incredible hospitality plus the vibrant dancing and colorful costumes of the local people, who are quick to welcome you to their paradise. You can tour military forts, swim with dolphins or even plunge down dizzyingly high waterslides. Large-scale properties with an amazing array of activities dominate the kid-friendly accommodation scene, but families who want something quieter with more privacy might choose to rent a villa instead.
