Departing daily from Ft. Lauderdale, Discovery Cruise Line offers a host of great ways to getaway - easily and affordably with it's Cruise 'N Stay Vacation Program featuring all the resorts and hotels on Grand Bahama Island. You depart South Florida at 7:45 AM and arrive in Grand Bahama by 1 PM. Passengers will enjoy all the fun and amenities of a longer cruise on their way. Plus, the cruise line serves a sumptuous and award-winning breakfast and lunch buffet during your trip. Once you arrive you check into the hotel of your choice by 3 PM (standard hotel check-in time on island). The convenience is great. The cruise line operates the most beautifully appointed ship in day cruising and boasts superior overall service, cuisine and entertainment. But most of all, Discovery delivers variety and value for families traveling together.

Discovery’s one-day ocean excursion is a top seller to Grand Bahama Island and, unlike airlines, Discovery features a special rate for children under 12 in the Cruise 'N Stay program of $49.
This price includes any day return, two meals on the trip to Grand Bahama, and dinner on the return cruise to South Florida. Discovery also features a supervised children’s club on board, "Club Manny T". Available to kids between six years and eleven years of age, "Club Manny-T" offers great variety for kids including an important educational message about its namesake, the endangered Florida manatee.

Club Manny T activities include face painting, drawing, painting, making balloon animals, arts and crafts, games, hair braiding and more. Children's movies are also featured. The kid’s club is open from 8:00 AM to Noon on the morning cruise to Grand Bahama Island, and from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM on the evening cruise returning to Ft. Lauderdale.

Aboard Discovery, guests can soak in the rich Caribbean sunshine on spacious poolside sun decks, as well as enjoy luxurious dining rooms, exciting lounges, discos, video arcades, duty-free shops, cabins, suites, and state-of-the-art casinos. Whichever you choose, rest assured the food, fun, music, dancing and nonstop excitement will get your adrenaline pumping and provide just the right amount of seafaring diversion to send even the most harried escapee back to work with an upbeat new attitude.
