The only other active connection from the US towards the Bahamas is the Miami – Bimini connection, which also leaves from Fort Lauderdale. While Bimini is a small island, however: The Grand Bahamas provide the true Bahamas experience. That’s why we also see this as the #1 ferry from the US to the Bahamas.

It was a fast smooth trip, but on this ferry, business class is simply not worth it. The business class cabin is cold and the best views are upstairs in the standard class.

It was a breeze, like cruisin’, a smooth and easy trip. Before I went I read about lot’s of people getting sea sick, on my trip there was none of that. Guess it’s a bit of a lottery.
