Discovery Cruise is a lot of fun. There are a lot of people that pay $50 and then expect to go on a "Titanic". Sure it's not a luxurious cruise, but there are a lot of things you can do if you are with a fun group of people. We drank and talked with friends, laid out on the sun,... more

Key points: 1. No, it is not a cruiseliner; more like a ferry boat; a little dated. 2. Our two kids 4 & 7 did not pay fares; just some taxes. 3. Food is very good on the ship. 4. Do not try to do a day trip; not enough time to do anything on the island. 5. If not... more

We used Discovery Cruise Line for transportation two and from Freeport, but we stay 3 nights in Freeport, so it was not technically a "day cruise" in our case. I think the day cruise would have too many logistical challenges to make it worth 10 hours travelling for 3 hours of fun. But that's just me. We booked the boat... more

I took the discovery cruise with two of my friends to freeport bahamas. I definetly do not recommend it as a day cruise if you want to enjoy the bahamas at all, by the time we get through customs it is 1:30 p.m. and you have to board again by 4:00. But if you are going to stay in the... more

My husband and I became "concerned" after reading all the negative reviews. Plus they were down one week before we were to leave and were concerned it wouldn't be ready in time and then what would we do. It was ready for us on the day we took off. And before I go any further let me say, I'm not... more

Our friend’s son was getting married in the Bahamas’ and when we started looking into booking the transportation I saw this option. It was less expensive to fly into Ft Lauderdale from Ohio and take this boat over to the Bahamas’ than to fly direct. I also thought it would be fun to include a bit of a cruise into... more

My husband and I were scheduled to go on Discovery cruise to the Bahamas and our dates were changed 2 times. We were scheduled to leave in the middle of April and got a call from our travel agency, not the cruise line that we would not be sailing due to mechanical problems. My husband had to pull some strings... more

This was by far the WORST "cruising" experience I have EVER had. 1. The ship had to have been built around the time of the Titanic, and never renovated or refurbished. 2. The cabin that each person traveling had to pay extra for was smaller than the guest bathroom in my apartment, with peeling tinted windows, and sheets that have... more

Discovery cruiselines notified us that they cancelled our trip one week before we were scheduled to depart. Apparently they've known about this for two weeks, and just now emailed us. Thank you for the prompt notice and for leaving us scrambling two day before our wedding to find alternate plans. They claim its to perform repairs on their boat. And... more
