I was at CocoCay last December and the water was perfect temp. The water temp will be about 79 degrees. It's cold but not frigid cold. It's the kind of cold where you either have to jump in quickly or go slowly but you quickly get used to it.

But on CocoCay babies and toddlers have a dedicated area to play with Splashaway Bay. Of course, they can also swim in the ocean.
From December through February, temperatures range from high 70s during the day to lows in the mid 60s at night. March starts a slight warm up, and the months of April to November bring high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s with nighttime temperatures in the low to mid 70s. You have options for your Bahamas cruise.
The best time to visit the Bahamas is from mid-December to mid-April, the country's peak season. Though temperatures here are great year-round (they rarely dip below 60 degrees), the islands fall within the hurricane belt, so hurricanes may be a factor between June 1 and Nov. 30 (the Atlantic hurricane season).
Most days are warm enough to swim and snorkel. The first week in December is usually the nicest weather of the year -- not too hot and mostly sunny skies. Once in a while, a cold front reaches us that early, but not too often.
Admission to CocoCay is free of charge and most of the attractions on the island are free, as is most of the food. Drinks are free if you have a cruise ship drinks package. Some of the thrill rides and the VIP chill areas have a charge.
