Sorry drivable ... having a choice is a beautiful thing you gotta admit ...combine it with a couple of nights pre-cruise at the Hilton Marina PE/FLL - or combine a 'cruise and stay' with one of their resort partners' - a nice long weekend but, yeah Edited September 4, 2020 by voljeep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted September 4, 2020 #8 Share Posted September 4, 2020 The Bahamas really changed their tune. Last year they were complaining that cruising didn't do enough for their economy and they thought they were getting shafted. Now they are almost begging for ships to come. Be careful what you wish for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmjc2 Posted September 5, 2020 #9 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Unless this cruise line has improved drastically in the last few years it is awful! Our daughter went on this cruise with a friend and was disgusted at the tiny room, the awful food and she was charged for something that they refused to refund. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamas Cruise line ships are former CCL ships. The one starting used to be Carnival Celebration, the other was a Costa ship so that gives you an idea of stateroom size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back a guy did a YouTube video about the $99 cruise his wife bought for them. Part of it involved a timeshare pitch. All in all the experience was pretty sad.

It is only a two day cruise for the passengers. The crew will be exposed to whatever the constantly changing group of passengers bring on board.
