Cruise Law News published another warning on traveler safety issues in the Bahamas. The post cites a series of statistics and warnings from the U.K. and Canadian governments on the dangers of the island nation. While the reports mentioned Grand Bahama and Freeport, for cruise goers, the main Bahamian destination remains Nassau.
Should you avoid the Bahamas on your next cruise? No. Any port in the Caribbean has a certain level of danger and risk. Do your research and take news reports and warnings seriously, but there is still plenty to see and do on the islands. While the ship's official excursions do not guarantee safety, they do provide an extra level of comfort and local knowledge. As with all tourism, use your best judgement, know where you are and always have a plan.
