DISCOVERY OFFERS FREE CRUISES TO FLORIDA MILITARY PERSONNEL IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN
Discovery Cruise Line, in conjunction with Clear Channel Communications, announced a special program for residents of Florida serving in the military overseas.
Hanns J. Hahn, General Manager of Discovery, said, "We are proud of our Florida military serving our country and would like to extend to all of them our best wishes during this holiday season and a speedy and safe return. To thank them for their service, Discovery and Clear Channel are offering those who served in Iraq or Afghanistan at any time during 2003 a free cruise to Grand Bahama."
The offer, which is valid until December 31, 2005, is for a free roundtrip cruise to Grand Bahama, including the cost of all meals on board, all service charges, taxes, and Bahamian departure fees. There are no additional costs involved.
To register a family member, friend or loved one for the free cruise, simply register that person's name online and Discovery will mail a receipt and a holiday card for them to pass on to the serviceman or woman. The receipt will entitle the person to his or her complimentary Discovery cruise. The receipt should be presented at the pier at the time of sailing, together with a Military ID and a letter from their unit confirming the places of service during 2003. Advanced reservations are required.
Discovery sails daily from Ft. Lauderdale to Grand Bahama Island, departing at 7:45 am and arriving back at the pier at 10 pm. Each year Discovery carries over 200,000 passengers between the two destinations.
The cruise features all the amenities of a longer cruise in one fun-filled day, including three lavish buffet meals on board, exciting casino action, live entertainment, outdoor games and activities, contests, spacious sun decks, a swimming pool, duty-free shopping, and more.
