In the heat of the shutdown affecting more than 800,000 federal workers, furloughed staffers can find a little levity in the activities offered out of the Bahamas Paradise’s hub located at the Port of Palm Beach in Riviera Beach.
Until Jan. 31 (with the exception of Jan. 25 and 26), furloughed federal workers can explore the 1,486-passenger Grand Celebration and 1,680-passenger Grand Classica through the special promotion, USA Today reports.
