  1. Happy Birthday PeterLuiijf!

  2. Welcome aboard the CruiseCrazies ship!

  3. Two weeks ago we went for an weekend with Discovery Cruises to the Bahamas. We left from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. We booked for 3 nights, leaving Friday early morning aand coming back on Sunday Evening. But i can be short about this trip, NEVER book it if i was you ! THe Hotel Pelican Bay on the Island of Grand Bahama was nice but for the rest the so called Cruise Line Discovery Cruises was a disaster ! The check in in Port Everglades was very messy. Nobody informed you well where to go and what to do. SO people ended up in wrong lines not knowing what to do ! We left 1 hour later then planned and we got to the Bahamas at 2.30 PM. At least the boat got there at that time ! We had to wait till 4.30 PM before we went through customs and immigration on the island. So finally around 5.30 PM we got to the hotel. So the 3 days trip allready changed into a 2 days trip ! The Hotel was nice and comfartable. A good choice, so we enjoyed our saturday there and on the beach. Sunday it rained a lot so we decided to go early back to the boat to embark. Good we did because it took an other 2 hours almost to get on the boat ! On the boat food and drinks are included in your fees , at least most of it. But when we wanted to eat in one of the restaurants it turned out that 1 of the 2 restaurants was occupied by a wedding so the whole boat had to eat in 1 Restaurant. Result you had to wait inline for an other 2 hours to get an seat at a table. After we finally got our seat the food turned out to be awfull and we just ate some rice and a little meat. For the rest the trip was oke that evening. We enjoyed ourself in the disco where the played a lot of Latin music. BUT the real disaster started when we got to the port in Fort Lauderdale. We got to the port at 11.10 in the Evening ! The first passengers, just them with a day trip for that Sunday, got of at around 12.30 in the morning. When we thought we could go of the ship they lead us into one of the restaurants to wait again ! There we all had to wait till 2 AM ! THen we were allowed to go off the boat and we got into the terminal where most of the people had to stand an other hour to wait for Immigration ! No Exception ! Old people, children, pregnant women, everybody had to wait ! Ofcourse i complained after we got back ! Got an email back from Discovey that it was all to blaim to the Immigration Officers ! But what i did not understand was that they did not help old people first and Families with small children en pregnant women to get off first for example. But nobody of the cruise line cared about those ! So i think it is a big tourist trap that Cruise ! So i advise you not to take it !! We got home at 3.10 am in the morning and we live 15 min driving from that port !
