Hi Stefanie!
Well I'm a little confused with the dates here...but anyway....

I found a great 3 day cruise from Miami to Nassau Bahamas for $149 per person, double occupancy that has a free stateroom upgrade! WOW what a great deal!

Free nights w/Bahamas getaway packages would be my dream vacation starting at $162

I would pick any of those cruises, because I am wheelchair-bound, and I hear that cruises are best for disabled people, and that they even have wheelchair-accessible rooms with roll-in showers! My idea of heaven. Since I became disabled 4.5 years ago, I haven't traveled, and it would become a dream come true!!

I would choose the Bahamas 3-nt cruise for $189 for my dream vacation. The laid back atmosphere of the islands of The Bahamas make it the perfect port to relax and unwind. I picture myself on the sun drenched shores of Nassau and Freeport where I can participate in some sophisticated shopping, sizzling nightlife, and eat delicious Caribbean cuisine I hear the pristine white sand, turquoise waters, gentle surf, and exotic marine life calling my name. With it's world-class fishing, historical forts, Victorian mansions, museums, vibrant bazaars, and colorful Caribbean houses -- being on there would be my dream come true!

I like Paradise Island Harbour Resort - All Inclusive. What a nice deal. The thing that I like is it is all inclusive, away from the busy scene in Nassau, and only a ten minute walk away from the Atlantis where you can do so much. Everything is very close, even Nassau if you want to go into town, so it is the best of both worlds when taking a trip to the Bahamas. I have been here once, I stayed in Nassau and took the ferry over to Paradise Island. I had said then that if I ever went again I would reverse the choice and stay on Paradise Island. Being all inclusive is a nice bonus when traveling.

I'd definitely choose the Paradise Island hotel w/beach & lagoon!

I'd like the Bahamas 3 night cruise...I've never been on a cruise, so it would be fun.

well, since I have to choose from AOL's choices rather than my true dream Bahamas vacation....

The Atlantis Paradise Island Resort all inclusive package.

My REAL dream vacation in the Bahamas would be at some place like Caribe Cay, where myself and DH would be the only people there except for the staff waiting on our every whim and need....

I think that would suit me nicely- it's a beach front resort near shopping, so fun in the sun, and lots of stuff to shop for!
