one day bahama trip from ft. lauderdale

I used to do it all the time. I don't know if it is still this way, but you used to be able to take the daily cruise but not have to come back the same day. I'd go over Friday A.M. and come back Sunday P.M. I always stayed at the Our Lucaya resort. Everything I needed was there so I didn't have to leave the resort -diving, beach, markets, sat street party etc. I think the hotel I used was called Pelican Bay.
