Mosquitos

Do we need to bring mosquito repellent or is it not a problem? We are sailing the Bahamian onboard the dream.

We never had any trouble with mosquitos while on a Bahamas cruise.

Mosquitoes LOVE me and I've never had an issue on a cruise.

I think it's not a bad idea to wear repellent. Mosquitos can spread Chikungunya, Malaria, Dengue fever and West Nile Virus (Some of those can be found in the Bahamas). It takes two seconds to put repellent on. Better be safe than sorry.

We've never found a need for mosquito repellent on any of our cruises.

I don't recall any issues with mosquitos on any of my nine cruises.

Didn't see one Mosquito in the Bahamas on the Dream last week. There were plenty in Florida though...

they sell off onboard. the only cruise i've ever been concerned about it was on alaska - apparently there are ginormous mosquitos there, but we didn't encounter any. unless i were doing some wild, deep jungle excursion, i wouldn't even give it two thoughts. people get more concerned about dead lice or fleas or whatever it is on castaway cay. we've luckily never encountered whatever that is!

You won't need it on a Dream. But I have needed it in Costa Maya ruins tour & St. John island tour.
