| | |  |  |  | | Add "Adventurer" to Your Resume | | | Close to the East Coast of the United States, the Bahamas are known as a refuge from the harsh winters of the north. But there's more to this paradise than sugar-white beaches and warm sunshine. You can swim with dolphins and tropical fish in the turquoise waters. Or soar above the sea in a parasail. Then explore the islands' thrilling history as a haven for pirates - a "Privateer's Republic" was formed at one point with Blackbeard himself as the magistrate. | |

And don't forget your camera and binoculars, so you don't miss a thing.
For evening wear, count on three basic types of attire: | Casual: Dresses or slacks and blouses for women, sport shirts and trousers for men | | Smart Casual: Dresses or pantsuits for women, jackets for men | | Formal: Cocktail dresses for women, suits and ties or tuxedos for men (you can arrange to rent a tuxedo onboard) |
Ashore, you'll need comfortable walking shoes as well as a hat and sunscreen for protection from the sun. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
