Ok so I know a lot of people have had a good experience with the Bahamas Pet Permits third party website and I wanted to share my experience because at the moment it’s the opposite. I will say I applied outside of their service and upon realizing I can’t call internationally on my phone reached out to the service to see if I could hire them to follow up on it for me or if I could apply again through them. They said they would follow up on it for me the next day. So the next day I did not hear anything from them. The day after that I sent an email checking in and received no response, I emailed again about 4 days later and also received no response. About a week  and a half after they said they would follow up I messaged through WhatsApp and they did read it but have yet to respond. At this point I’m fairly certain I’m not going to be able to bring my SD with me despite starting the paperwork about 6 weeks before my trip which I will take the fault for since I booked the cruise very last minute. I would have appreciated more communication from Bahamaspetpermits considering I was wanting to pay them for their assistance and use them in the future but at this time I’ve got nothing. I’m got slight hope that maybe I’ll get the permit in the next two weeks before my trip but I’m really doubting it 😭

I haven't done this since 2018, but it took about a week for them to fax the permit back to me (and you have to be able to receive a legal size (8 1/2" by 14") fax or the bottom of the permit will be cut off). The next time we go to the Bahamas I will definitely be using the third party service; I would not do it on my own again.

 

I bring a life jacket for my Service Dog - the ship will not have any life jackets that will fit a dog.

Thank you! I have a life jacket for her so I’ll make sure to bring it. I gave my work fax to them which is an efax so it should be ok for it to not be a normal size paper and then I’ll just make sure I print it on bigger paper. Hopefully it’s true to that timeline or quicker and if I don’t have it by the week after that I’ll probably panic and reach out to the other person as a plan B 😅

Those of you who didn’t use the third party service for the Bahamas pet permit, how long did it take to get a response after faxing the stuff? We leave 12/10 and I faxed everything over on Friday but I’m super nervous 😬😅.
 

i suppose if it becomes crunch time I could reach out to that guy for help? I think his website says he only needs two weeks notice?

also random but are we supposed to bring a life jacket for my SD?
