THAT IS A PERSONAL DECISION. LUCKILY THERE ARE NUMEROUS OPTIONS.
MARGARITAVILLE AT SEA www.MARGARITAVILLEATSEA.COM –IF YOU HAVE TIME IN YOUR SCHEDULE, THIS IS A FUN WAY TO GET TO THE ISLAND. IT LEAVES PORT OF PALM BEACH EVERY OTHER DAY AND DOES OFFER A ONE-WAY TICKET. THIS IS NOT POSTED ON THEIR WEBSITE, SO YOU MUST CALL. THE COST IS OFTEN ONLY SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN FLIGHTS AND YOU GET A FUN OVERNIGHT CRUISE. TIM AND MICHELLE FIND THE CREW AWESOME.
HELPFUL TIP… AT THE TIME OF THIS POSTING, YOU CAN TRAVEL TO THE ISLAND WITH A BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND ID WHEN TRAVELING BY CRUISE SHIP. OF COURSE, ALWAYS BE SURE TO CONFIRM THIS BEFORE BOOKING. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT IF TRAVELING WITH A BIRTH CERTIFICATE COMING ON CRUISE SHIP IS STILL ALLOWED, IN ORDER TO GO BACK TO THE U.S. YOU MUST TRAVEL BY CRUISE SHIP (YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO FLY BACK).
HELFPUL TIP… IF DRIVING A CAR TO THE PORT OF PALM BEACH, WE USE WWW.GLOBALAIRPORTPARKING.COM SITE. OFTEN THE RATE IS $4.50 A DAY. THEN WE TAKE AN UBER TO THE PORT.
HELPFUL TIP… MARGARITAVILLE AT SEA HAS CARGO SERVICES FOR PEOPLE LOOKING TO BRING LARGE ITEMS TO THE ISLAND. THESE ITEMS MUST CLIEAR BAHAMIAN CUSTOMS AND DUTY WILL MOST LIKELY NEED TO BE PAID.
BALEARIA FERRY www.BALEARIACARIBBEAN.com – LEAVES FROM FORT LAUDERDALE, BUT CURRENTLY ON A LIMITED SCHEDULE (USUALLY TWICE A WEEK). THE TRIP TAKES APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 HOURS BUT IS OFTEN MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MARGARITAVILLE AND NO THRILLS, IT IS A FERRY NOT A CRUISE SHIP. YOU MUST HAVE A PASSPORT TO USE THE FERRY.
FLIGHTS – WHEN BOOKING A FLIGHT, WE FIND IT CHEAPEST TO BOOK ONE WAYS FROM EITHER FORT LAUDERDALE OR MIAMI. IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF FLORIDA, BOOK YOUR FLIGHT TO ONE OF THOSE LOCATIONS. IF YOU BOOK ROUNDTRIP FROM ANOTHER AIRPORT, THEY WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE YOU CONNECT IN MIAMI OR FORT LAUDERDALE AND THE PRICE IS USUALLY MUCH HIGHER. THERE ARE USUALLY NUMEROUS FLIGHTS DAILY. BE SURE TO ALLOW FOR PLENTY OF TIME BETWEEN FLIGHTS. AS OF THIS POSTING, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS DELAYS AROUND THE U.S.. WHEN BOOKING SEPERATE ONE WAYS, IF YOU FLIGHT IS DELAYED AND/OR CANCELLED YOUR CONNECTING FLIGHT IS USUALLY UNABLE TO BE REFUNDED.
PRIVATE BOAT – WITH THE APPROPRIATE SIZE BOAT, IT GENERALLY TAKES ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 5 HOURS TO REACH THE ISLAND FROM WEST PALM BEACH FLORIDA. WE RECOMMEND COMING INTO THE WEST END AT OLD BAHAMA BAY RESORT (WE ADMIT TO BE BIASED SINCE WE LIVE IN WEST END)
