After a trip to the Bahamas 25 years ago, I’ve had zero desire to travel to any other “tropical paradise.” I’m not a big fan of beaches and hot weather anyway, but I especially don’t like being at the mercy of a third-world foreign government.

Our honeymoon was a cruise to the Bahamas 24 years ago. Never felt safe. The relief of getting back on the cruise ship I still remember to this day. I told my wife back then. “Ha back to civilization”
From the local men starring at my wife to the boat ride out to Paradise Island (now called Atlantis) I felt unease.
The boat that should of held no more than 100 had maybe 250 tourist on it and the water was almost level to the top side rail of the boat. No problem right? Well we were in the downstairs of the boat with only on small stairway out. If that sucker started sinking we never would have got out. In the US that boat co would have been fined out of existence.
We are planning our 25th honeymoon cruise to either Alaska or Nova Scotia.
