The boat is big enough and the route to bahamas isn't that bad so sea sickness shouldn't be a big issue. You'll get used to it within a couple hours - that being said get some Gravol, can get it at a pharmacists - its solid for dealing with motion sickness, cars planes boats etc. My parents gave it to me when i was growing up when we'd take ferry to ireland or orkney isles cause i was the puke master and it really works good.
Have fun!

Is this Dramamine in the usa? I've heard my parents mention taking Dramamine before.

Never been there so I can't give any advice, but have fun!

Gravol for seasickness. Immodium for the explosive diarrhea.
You will have explosive diarrhea.

Seasickness isn't as common as you would think.
Everything you can do in Mexico you can get cheaper in Mexico than in the US. Especially if you listen to a timeshare talk.
Dress up. It's fun. Usually the cruise ships have a top of the line restaurant that you need to make reservations for. It's worth it to do once.
You don't need much gear besides a camera and some flip flops and swim trunks. Sunglasses, suntan lotion, an appetite.

Just an aside, if you take Dramamine, be SURE that you do not take too many. I personally know people who have accidentally overdosed on Dramamine, and it should be stated that Drama is a very powerful psychoactive occasionally used recreationally. Even if you're having a hell of a time sea-sickness wise, do NOT take over the recommended dosage. Hallucinations and bad trips are commonplace.
Anyway, on topic, check out the snorkeling, the Bahamas are awesome for that.

Are you saying the gravol makes you need imodium, or that I'll need the imodium for another reason?

Mexico? I'm not going there.
I don't personally find dressing up fun.
I'm glad to hear there isn't any unexpected essential gear.

Thanks for the advice about Dramamine... I'll keep that in mind.
I've never done snorkeling... Out of curiosity what do you do if your vision isn't good? Do you wear contacts/glasses under goggles?

There's all sorts of weird bacteria in food and water. After a while people get desensitized to it, but if you go to a new place you've never been to, there's a higher chance of getting your intestines messed with. I've heard a lot of horror stories about trips to tropical regions that were ruined by people getting sick. With the negligible size it takes up in your luggage, there isn't much reason not to have it.

I think this would be worse if I was going to Mexico, but I'll definitely take this advice. TY.
