My family and I wanted to find the cheapest way to get to the Bahamas and we definitely found it. It is not as bad as some people make it out to be. The worst part was the embarkation portion which took approx. 2 or even 3 hrs. To be honest, do not come back to Fort Lauderdale on the... more

This is a perfect means to go for a vacation in the Bahamas, not so good as a day cruise as this is not a luxury cruise liner, but an old (if clean) ferry. If you have kids, you are going to save a lot compared to flying to Freeport. There is also much less hassle than flying over there.... more

We were looking for an economic getaway to spend my birthday and by chance I saw the Discovery ad on tv and I thought that it looked interesting, so we decided to go. We booked the Discovery Plus package and it was outstanding! Our guy, Joseph, was waiting for us and directed us every step of the way before boarding... more

This was the worse idea ever! The ship was old, stinky and dirty. I got sick the next day from the food. Freeport wasn't much fun either. Everything closes at 6pm! more

Lets give credit to the staff they are awesome except for the 28 time you'll be approached by a guy or gal pushing Bahama Mamma drinks or a drink menu, it was excessive and rude. Lets talk money.

Getting on and off the boat was probabley the worst part. Keep yourself entertained and the day will go by quick. It's a five hour ride so check out everything, play trivia and sing karaoke its fun. The staff there is amazing. They're polite and energetic, and though i watched as many people were rude to them they kept a... more

We took the discovery cruise from Ft Lauderdale to Freeport Bahamas on a 2-day getaway. It was a good way to get there since we found inexpensive and direct flights to Ft Lauderdale from Boston. For what we saved on airfare it paid for a hotel in Ft Lauderdale and the cruise. We booked a hotel package through the cruise... more

We took the Discovery Cruise Ship to the Bahamas in May. We bought a package deal that included the cruise and 3 nights on the island. We got the VIP Discovery Plus Package which included the upgraded breakfast and dinner. Excellent, I would highly recommend this upgrade. The food was wonderful! I traveled with myself, my husband and our 11... more
