Widgets

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the Discovery Cruise Line website, we're currently investigating the use of widgets. For those of you unfamiliar, widgets act as client-side plugins which operate through your internet browser or right on your desktop as handy little tools. Some of the proposed ideas include Google maps of Grand Bahama Island, or a weather plugin to check the daily and extended forecasts.

If there's any other utility or functionality you'd like to see added to the website, drop us a line and let us know. Odds are there's a widget out there designed for just such a purpose!

Flamingo Bay 3rd Night Free

For the remainder of July and August the Flamingo Bay Yacht Club & Marina is offering travelers a 3rd night free when you book a Bahamas Vacation Package through Discovery. Located steps from beautiful Taino Beach and just a short ferry ride away from the Port Lucaya Marketplace and Isle of Capri Casino, the Flamingo Bay offers vacationers the convenience of having all the island's amenities right at your fingertips, all for an unbelievably low price.

Domain Change

The Sheraton at Our Lucaya and the Westin at Our Lucaya have extended their early booking promotions until the end of August. If luxurious beachfront hotels, fine dining, casino action and spas (at a price that can't be beat) sounds like type of vacation then look no further than either the Sheraton or Westin resorts.

In other news, DiscoveryCruise.com is scheduled to change domains to DiscoveryCruiseLine.com this September. Although a seemingly easy task, a lot of effort and preparation have gone into making the transition as smooth as possible. As always, if you have any suggestions for the new site (design changes, additions, etc.) feel free to drop us a line, and we'd be more than happy to take it into consideration!

Happy 4th of July

As I won't be in the office tomorrow to update, here's wishing you an early Happy 4th of July. Stay safe, don't re-light the duds, and don't combine (too much) alcohol with fireworks. If anyone has any exciting plans for over the holiday I'd love to hear them.

If you've received our one-day-only sale via e-blast, remember that the promotion has to be booked before midnight on July 4th, and you can travel any time now through August 31st.
