Bahamas Paradise Line Sets Plans for Return to Service

Bahamas Paradise Line has detailed the enhancements customers will find aboard Grand Celebration when it returns from its three-month charter to FEMA and plans they have for their second ship when it joins the fleet in April.

The complete story appeared in the December 13 edition of Cruise News Daily.

No Celebration on Grand Celebration

Grand Celebration, which originally (28 years ago) began life as Carnival’s Celebration, now sails two-night trips between Palm Beach and Freeport for the Bahamas Paradise Line. When it arrived back in Palm Beach this morning, a boatload of unhappy customers came with it.

There had been no air conditioning since Tuesday, and many passengers had even resorted to sleeping on deck.

New Line to Operate Cruises from Palm Beach to the Bahamas

The Port of Palm Beach is reporting they will have a cruise ship to replace Bahamas Celebration which struck an unknown object in the water as it was leaving Freeport on October 31 and opened a hole in the side of the ship below the water line.

The new ship, the 47,000-ton Grand Celebration, will be operated by a new line, Bahama Paradise Cruise Line, but with many of the same executives of the old line. The operation seems to be a duplicate of Bahamas Celebration’s, and the line plans to be in service as early as February 2015.
