Visa to Bahamas for TD wife

[shevas]

Hi All,

I am getting totally mixed answers about a visa to the Bahamas for my wife who is on a TD visa with an Indian passport. Can somebody please tell me if we need to get her a Bahamas visa as we are taking a 1 week cruise to Bahamas very soon. I am told by a few friends that the cruise purser will take the passport and hold onto it untill we are back and so they'll take care of whatever formalities need o be done. But Im sure a lot of you TNers have had personal experience so if you all can please chime on that.
Thanks in advance.

According to Bahamas govt, Indian citizens need a VISA unless they have a US green card or a Cdn PR card.

So, contact the bahamas, or, if desparate, the cruise line, but looks to me like she needs a tourist visa from bahamas.
