Discovery Cruise Lines (Bahamas day trip cruise)

[superdrews]

I really enjoyed this ship. For the price, it's a bargain. Get a room, the people up on deck looked uncomfortable.

The room (superior oceanview) was decent. I'd compare it to a motel 6. The first room was really nice, the 2nd room on the return trip had a bit of a funky smell in the bathroom.

I moved the beds next to each other and there was stuff that was underneath that should be cleaned up, but the sheets were clean and that's what matters.

I think I would have had much less of a good time had I not opted for Discovery Plus ($49/person) that I called and added on.

It allows you to get on first, skip all the lines, get off first, gets the 7 course meal (normally $35 by itself) champagne breakfast and sit down lunch which were all above average. The filet Mignon at dinner was excellent. It also transports you to your hotel and back making it an excellent value.

Have $20 or so for tips for 2 people, and an extra $20 for a key deposit. I was never asked for a $10/person security fee that I had read about, so I'm not sure what that is about.

I'd definately do this again, but you definately need to stay on the island for a day.

We're going this coming Sat on Discovery Sun. Thanks for mentioning Discovery Plus - my Mom is not wheelchair-bound, but has some trouble walking/standing for long periods. This sounds like what we need. I'm going to check into it!
