Policy Protects Cancellations Caused by Imminent Storms
MIAMI, June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Cruise Line, the largest tour
operator from South Florida to Grand Bahama Island, announced its hurricane
policy for this year's hurricane season.
Hanns J. Hahn, the General Manager of Discovery, said that "the active
hurricane seasons of the past two years make it important to assure those
who have booked cruises, or who want to book cruises, that they will not
lose their deposits in the event of cancellations caused by approaching
hurricanes. In addition," Hahn said, "Discovery offers travel insurance at
a very reasonable cost covering vacation disruptions, lost luggage, and
medical emergencies."
The policy provides that "In the event of a hurricane watch or warning
being posted by the National Hurricane Center for Southeast Florida or the
Northern Bahamas during the time of your travel, you may cancel or rebook
your trip without penalty." It further says that "Any passengers
vacationing on the island during the posting of a hurricane watch or
warning who may wish to return from the island earlier than originally
booked are welcome to do so without penalty (based on space availability)."
Discovery sails daily from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale to Grand
Bahama Island, departing at 7:45 am and returning at 10 pm. Discovery
offers same day roundtrip cruises as well as cruise and stay vacation
packages at most of the island's hotels, including Westin and Sheraton at
Our Lucaya, Viva Wyndham Fortuna, Port Lucaya Resort and Yacht Club and
Pelican Bay at Lucaya, among others.
Except for the all-inclusive Wyndham resort, kids under 6 cruise and
stay free at their Bahamas resort and kids under 12 pay only $49 for the
cruise and stay free at their Bahamas resort. And, teens under 17 pay only
$89.99 for the roundtrip cruise. The cruise prices do not include a $25 per
person Bahamian Departure Fee and fuel surcharge or a $10 per person
security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Fee.
Discovery has been named the "Best One-Day Cruise" by readers of
Porthole Magazine, and has carried over 4 million passengers between the
two destinations.
