Discovery Cruise Line Announces New Rate Structure
Food is now
included in all fare categories
MIAMI, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Cruise Line, the largest tour
operator for Grand Bahama Island carrying nearly 200,000 passengers a year
between South Florida and Grand Bahama, announced today that because of the
public's demand to revert to the inclusion of meals in the price of the
cruise, it has dropped its Coach fare and is re-structuring its fare
categories to abandon the Coach fare and include only Standard, Grand
Bahama Grill, and Discovery Plus fares.
According to Hanns J. Hahn, General Manager of Discovery, "There was
overwhelming demand by the public for the return to the inclusion of food
in the ticket price because excellent food is something Discovery has been
known for during its twenty years of operation."
Under the new structure, which is effective for cruises departing on
and after October 17, 2007, the price of a roundtrip (same day return) Fun
Day cruise, including three all-you-can-eat buffet meals on the roundtrip
cruise, will be from $99.99 per person and at present also includes a free
tropical drink and match play at the Isle of Capri Casino on Grand Bahama.
An upgrade to the Grand Bahama Grill level for only $29 additional
includes a champagne breakfast and a seven-course gourmet dinner in the
a-la- carte restaurant onboard.
Discovery Plus service, offered with Cruise 'N Stay Resort Packages
only, includes priority embarkation and debarkation, a private lounge on
board, transfers on island, a champagne breakfast, a buffet lunch on the
trip to Grand Bahama, and a gourmet dinner in the Grand Bahama Grill on the
return cruise, and is available for only $49, in addition to the cruise.
The champagne breakfast is available by itself for $7 per person.
Cruise fares may be higher on weekends and holidays. Additional fees
and surcharges include a $39 per person Bahamas departure & harbor fee, and
fuel surcharge ($26 for kids under 6) and a $10 security surcharge and U.S.
Customs & Border Protection user fee.

casino, live entertainment, games, activities, a show, disco, and even a
Kid's Club. Plus, you have plenty of room to stretch your legs on one of
the spacious decks.
