Ok so turns out me and angel are going on a cruise for our honeymoon in october. I get to thinking about it my taurus is small but not that small. I was trying to decide if mom's 25 would be ok, i know there underpowered but it's about as small as your gonna get while still holding 10 rounds. Not really wanting a derrenger, i like to have more than 2 shots. Would i be better off to find me a .22?
Plus how am i going to conceal in a bathing suit?
Anyone know the carry laws on international water's or the bahama's?

You are not allowed to bring any firearms or amunition into the Bahamas at all. You MUST surrender your firearms at the fist customs and may retrieve them when you leave the Bahamas. At least that is how it was in the late 90's when I sailed there. It really sucks if you do not plan on leaving the Bahamas from the same port you entered.
I have heard that you may now leave them on your "private" boat if they are stored securely, but I am not 100% positive about it.
Bahamian laws on guns are pretty strict and can include heavy fines and jail terms.
I also sincerely doubt any cruise line allows personal weapons on board.
Check the Passage Contract. It will surely speculate that you may not bring firearms on board.
What cruise line?

My guess would be yes.
Not to sound like an A*Hole or anything. But if you cannot respect the laws of another country, you should not visit it in my opinion.
The Bahamas is pretty safe as long as you do not wander off into certain known bad areas. Stay in the tourist areas and in groups and you will be fine.
By the way... check to see if they have Skeet Shooting on board! Fun Fun Fun!

Skeet shooting on board?waa that would be awesome.
I agree with you on the visiting other country's, what i don't like is we will have to stay in a hotel the night before. Maybe ill just have to take my bowie knife with me, i figured it was pretty safe there but kinda wanted yall's back up on that before i decided what i was gonna do.

I'd suggest you leave the gun at home.

Probably won't make it onboard with a bowie knife either. Terrorism is a concern to cruise lines. The x-ray everything, coming and going, with an airport like device at the gangway.
Bring a big knife and they'll politely offer to keep it for you until end of cruise.
But have a great time!
They are very strict on the cruise, no gun's no knives no nothing.
