Bahamas Florida Express introduces new Bahama Cat
Wednesday, April 14, 2004
GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND, Bahamas: To celebrate
the arrival of its new summer vessel, the Bahama Cat -- a 600-passenger
High-Speed Ferry -- Bahamas Florida Express introduces hotel-inclusive
vacations. Bahamas Florida Express adds the Bahama Cat to its fleet beginning
May 9. A comfortable and convenient
alternative to costly flights, the Bahama Cat speeds vacationers between Fort
Lauderdale and Grand Bahama Island in a little over two hours.
While on-board the new vessel, passengers
enjoy the same comforts they've come to expect from Bahamas Florida Express:
entertainment in the TV-movie lounge, gambling in the casino, meals at The
Cafe, cocktails and specialty drinks at the two bars, shopping in the
duty-free gift shop and spectacular views from both the upper and lower decks.
With accommodations at Grand Bahama's newest boutique hotel, Pelican Bay at
Lucaya, travelers relax in contemporary hotel rooms featuring Italian-tiled
floors, separate shower and tub, private balconies and daily breakfast. "The
Bahama Cat is a great option for families.
Kids aren't confined to a seat like on
airlines, they can move freely about the spacious cabin, get snacks in the
cafe, color, draw or play "Go Fish" at one of the many tables and watch
kid-friendly movies in the TV-movie lounge," said Gary Seabrook, Chief
Executive Officer, Bahamas Florida Express. A
variety of hotel inclusive vacation packages are also available at six other
leading Grand Bahama hotels including the Westin and Sheraton at Our Lucaya
and the Crowne Plaza at Royal Oasis. The
Bahama Cat departs Port Everglades daily at 3:45 p.m. arriving on island at
6:15 p.m. in time for dinner and a night at the new Isle of Capri Casino at
The Westin and Sheraton at Our Lucaya (next door to Pelican Bay).
The vessel returns, leaving Grand Bahama
Island at 9:45 a.m. (arriving at Port Everglades at 12:15 p.m.), therefore,
travelers will not need to overnight in Fort Lauderdale prior to or following
travel in order to make connecting flights home.
