Launch!

Welcome to the company blog of Discovery Cruises! Our aim with this blog is to get to know our customers on a more personal level, find out what they like about our services, (as well as suggestions for improvement), and keep them up to date with the direction we're taking the company.

For those unfamiliar with Discovery Cruises, we're a South Florida Cruise line with daily service to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. Because we depart daily, we offer passengers the choice of either one day Bahamas party cruises, or overnight packages, both with and without hotel accommodations in Grand Bahama . In essence, we're basically a ferry service with some of the more traditional amenities you might find on a longer cruise.

This would be a fine time to introduce myself as the writer of the blog.

Hi, my name's Alex.

I've worked for Discovery the past six years as a Vacation Specialist, in and out of part-time status as a student at the University of Miami. Upon my recent graduation from computer engineering, I'm now working towards bridging the gaps between the reservations, marketing, and IT departments here at Discovery. As such, topics of conversation are likely to run the gamut from daily specials to the highly technical. I'm very interested in gathering feedback through this blog, both on Discovery Cruise Line and the blog itself, so don't be shy.

Time to get our feet wet!
