The roughly 800 islands and cays of the Bahamas together comprise one of the Caribbean's hottest travel destinations for spring. All-inclusive resort fans will find everything they need on Grand Bahama and in Nassau, New Providence and Paradise Island, such as the mega resort Atlantis – a top draw for families. Vacationers looking for a quieter setting have their pick of the Out Islands, such as Bimini, Eleuthera and the Exumas, perfect for boating, fishing, and some of the best Caribbean snorkeling around.

Just Back: The Disney Fantasy
I had only been on the new Disney Fantasy for an hour when the “Sailing Away” party featuring Mickey, Minnie, dancers, streamers, and a DJ started. My head was spinning, but my son, 8, was already riding the AquaDuck, the signature water coaster, that dips, loops, and swirls around the entire ship and out across the water. This would pretty much set the pace for my Fantasy inaugural voyage: as much action as the Mouse can cram in for four days. Relaxing? Not really. But lots of fun? Definitely yes.
