Weekend cruises to the Bahamas are some of the best weekend getaways out there! I will highlight 5 reasons why weekend cruises are the best and what you can expect if this might be your first time cruising. Most of my sailing experience has been on Royal Caribbean's weekend cruises out of Port Miami and remain one of my favorite ways to travel and have a quick weekend get-away.
