| Yes, Gary Hart was on this boat "Monkey Business" a while back and
loved it. Gave it high ratings.

169.2 | You want a bus, not a cruise ship | VINO::FLEMMING | No reason, just policy | Tue Nov 07 1989 03:53 | 6 |
| Cruise lines are primarly in the business of cruising, i.e., you
don't normally consider them as providing transportation from point
A to point B. However, I'm sure there must be ferries (much like the
ferries to Martha's Vineyard) which travel between Miami and the
Bahamas.

169.3 | Sea Escape to Freeport | NSKILL::DOIRON | | Tue Nov 07 1989 09:57 | 8 |
| I just spoke to Crimson Travel and they said the the "Sea Escape"
is the name of the ship that cruises out of Miami to Freeport.
The Sea Escape costs around $105 round trip. They also have packages
which he is going to send me info on. He is also going to send
me info on the Carnival line because it might be more feasible to
go on a mini cruise and stay on the ship.

sea escape sure is the one...i took it a few years ago..took about 5
hours to get there and you did get one meal...can get some deal on it
by looking around the newspapers once you get down there..for something
like $99 (might have been $199 but i really don't think so) you get
the cruis over and two nights lodging on freeport...the cruise itself
was nice..the ship was kinda small and parts of it actually 'smelled'
..getting off the ship took well over and hour due to customs..then
we took a taxi to our hotel inland and after waiting in line for no
LESS than 2 hours the slower-than-death receptionist told us that
they had no more rooms and they set us up in another hotel around the
corner...neither place was anything to write home about...i WOULDN'T
do it again...if you can get a deal where you stay on the ship
(carnival) i'd go for that one!....oh ya...same routine trying to leave
the island also! hours to check out...port charges that nobody had told
us about..customs again..fun,fun,fun...!

169.5 | Second thoughts.. | NSKILL::DOIRON | | Fri Nov 10 1989 09:43 | 7 |
| re: 4
Thanks for the info, I am having second thoughts. I still haven't
received the info yet from Crimson. I will let you'all know the
outcome if we go. Thanks again.
