Really good price $150 inc return transfers - The Bahamas was the highlight of our holiday. Great people, great food and beautiful beaches. Will definitely be returning and staying for longer. FYI the duty free shopping on the boat is FAB!!! More

My husband and I took this cruise on March 26, 2012. It's not as large as the major cruise liners, but the service and experience was excellent. My husband and I had never cruised before, so this was all new to us. Boarding the was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly. It took us no time to find out cabin, which... More

We stopped at Freeport from a Carnival cruise. Since we have a young child and hope to have a beach to sit and relax, we found it litle disappointed. We could only leave the boat to browse small 'market' area, right in front of the boat. Otherwise, you would have to pay for taxi ride to even attempt to see... More

My Mom, brother and I took this trip In August as part of our Florida week long trip. After the idea of visiting the Bahamas became exciting it was hard to shrug it off even after reading the bad reviews. So here is my honest review If you are a cruise ship enthusiast this trip is probably not for you.... More

Like the cruise and stay packages. Good value if you do not fly. Sometimes cheaper if you book at the hotel with discount rates. Recommend the Our Lucaya hotel. The names change but right now it is next door to the Radisson. Beach front property with a great pool and the hotel is good size but not too big to... More

I have read the reviews and I must say...Everyone is right. Yes it's a "good" cruise AND yes it's a "bad" cruise. Please let me explain. This was the first cruise for my wife and 3 year old son. And I am not sad to say this, but we had a great time. I have caught myself passing words of... More

I was not expecting much for the ship, but I was well surprised, although it looked like a bit old, we had plenty of room, ther were many chairs in the dock, the swimming pool is OK for kids, the breakfast and dinner are really good! There could be a shop inside available with bathing suits, because I forgot my... More

Do not expect too much from this "cruise". The boat is old, in sub par condition, and certain areas of the interior smell awful. The food sucks, at breakfast the eggs were really runny, and at lunch the prime rib was really hard. They try to engage their guests with games and music on the top deck. The best thing... More

We booked a 2 day cruise and stay deal with Discovery. Our First Cruise so I do consider it a cruise. Boat was fine, food was average (not the worst or best I've had). Staff was very helpful. Plenty to do on the boat. Would've been nice to have a shorter trip with not so much wait time to get... More
