How strong is the American dollar in the Bahamas during summer time?

Question

what is average cost for a great meal for two?? How much should I take for a week to enjoy the island?

Answer 1

The Bahamas currency has a fixed rate of exchange to the US$.

US$1 = $1 Bahamas

Answer 2

The money over there is the same as here.  Being in the Bahamas is like you never left the U.S.  On Nassau anyway.

Answer 3

The Bahamas is one of the most expensive countries I have ever travelled to. I can break down some of the prices I remember in USD (as the exchange rate is the same):

gallon of milk = $7.59

bag of ruffles potatoe chips = $8.99

single popsicle = $3.99

gallon of v8 juice = $8.59

children's hamburger at Johnny Rockets = $13.50 (just the burger)

lobster entree at Seafood Haven = $40

shrimp appetizer = $3.75 per shrimp

soft drinks with meals = $3.75 a piece

hot dog = $9

cookie = $4

as you can see, it is not cheap whatsoever. I believe the most we spent on dinner was $175. Good luck and have fun!!!
