    Never used this. Seems to be a 3rd party trying to make a buck. Service dogs are free and a regular pet is $10. This person wants $57. Just do it directly. I usually fax and have the permit in a day or two. 

    I have been attempting to fax over the application to the fax number on the form. I have also called and spoke with a lady at the Dept. Of Agriculture and she gave me the same number. Did you have any problems facing over the application?

    You get it from your vet. It has to be a USDA accredited vet. Call your vet and ask. 

    Ok. My vet is a USDA accredited vet. The one question that they are having is about shots. I know that the rabies shot is one that needs to be renewed for our cruise but how do I find out if there are other shots necessary? Does the Bahamas send you something stating what shots are needed? My vet contacted the USDA and they are saying to send in the application and then the Bahamas will let us know what shots are necessary. Thanks.

    Just write service dog on the top. You do not need to send anything. I think they send back the permit and a form to have your vet fill out. When you get on the ship you will need the permit, the form they sent you filled out by your vet, a copy of rabies certificate and the international health certificate. 

    Thanks for all.of the information. Its bee. Very helpful. As far as the international health certificate is concerned, is that something I can obtain from my vet or is there somewhere else I can get it? Again thank you for the assistance.

    Thanks. I am gonna try and fax it over. Question, is there somewhere on the form where you can annotate that the dog is a service dog? Also, when you faced over the application over are you also sending the dogs shot records? Thank you for your assistance. This is our first cruise with my daughters service dog.

  5. We were just on the Magic 3 weeks ago and our favorite waiters name was Kumara. He went above and beyond during our cruise. His team was great also. We celebrated an anniversary and a birthday on the cruise and he really made it a memorable celebration. He also took care of us when he was out on the Lido deck also. Just an all around great guy.

  6. I am traveling this December to the Bahamas with my family and my daughters service dog. I have emailed the Bahams on the email they have on their website asking about the fee for a service dog and I was wondering if this was the correct email address. The address I sent it to was minagriculturemarine@bahamas.gov.bs

    I have not heard back from them at this point. I was also inquiring how far out from my cruise date should I send in the application and am I able to fax it over via sending it over UPS/FEDEX? Thank you for your help. This will be the first time cruising with Teddy and I am trying to ensure it is as seamless as possible for my wife not to worry about it. 

  7. We do this every cruise because we book 2 cabins for us and then if there is anyone else travelling with us. I contact Carnival prior to the cruise and I give them the other rooms booking info and they attach them to the same table to ensure we are sitting at the same table.

    Not difficult at all.  We have done several and booked them all ourselves online.  If at all possible you should get the same cabin for both legs.  That way you don't have to pack and unpack at the end of the first leg.  But if you can't do this your cabin steward will assist you.

    Thanks for your reply. What is the process after the first cruise when you get back to port and are heading back out on the second cruise? Do you disembark the ship? As long as you have the same cabins then I take it you wont take anything off the ship if you have to disembark from the ship.

    I'm curious as heck about B2B cruises.  How did you go about starting to research them?  I would assume you look at the boats and decide if the B2B dates work for you?  And so on? Would love your research ideas. Thanks!

    The main reason I am looking at a B2B is because I couldn't find a cruise that fit our timeframes and was going to Key West. All of the itineraries that fit the time frame we want to cruise was not going there except a 4 day cruise. So it makes sense to try a B2B at this point.

    We got on the 29th. 🙂 Probably have you to thank for them offering to put it on the balcony without having to ask. Thanks!

     

     

    I was on the Liberty over Thanksgiving. When we returned we went and picked up my daughters service dog. We are avid cruisers and Cruise Carnival most of the time..We just booked a Christmas Cruise for next year. It's a 4day cruise on the Liberty to the Bahamas. We booked an 2 interior rooms but was wondering what the best type of room would be best for us as well as our service dog. My daughters dog is a Goldendoodle. He weighs in at about 65lbs at this moment. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. 

     

  11. I have sailed on Carnival predominantly as well as a couple other ships. I have sailed on the Grand Bahama cruise line 3 times and I have enjoyed each time I ha e cruised. It's a nice getaway which breaks up my year between cruises on a major line. It has it's good parts and it's bad parts but all.in all for what you pay, you get a good cruise. I normally buy a groupon for the cruise when it comes up and then book directly with the cruise line. I have never had to deal with any timeshare issues. All in all for a quick 2 day getaway, I give it a thumbs up.

  12. Thanks for the info. We have a tour scheduled in Ft. Lauderdale on the 29th of July to see what they do. My wife is excited to see the process. We have cruised with our daughter before but as she gets older we are looking for all ways to make her cruising just as fun as it is for us.
