We Love Sunsets at Sea
I think most people who cruise value the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets at sea. Here's one of the sunsets at sea that we enjoyed on our last cruise. (View is from our balcony... you can see the railing in the picture.)

And Ecstasy Makes Seven

This is good news for the suffering local economy, as estimates that the addition of another ship at the port may generate as many as 400 "direct" jobs, and pump millions into the local economy annually.
And it's good news for cruisers, as the ship will broaden options for those cruising from Port Canaveral, offering four and five night voyages to The Bahamas.
There are two choices of four night itineraries, departing on alternating Thursdays:
- Nassau, Sea Day, and Freeport
- Nassau,. Half Moon Cay, Day at Sea
Five night itineraries, departing Mondays and Saturdays, also offer two options:
- Freeport, Nassau, Half Moon Cay, and a Day at Sea
- Nassau, Freeport, Key West, Sea Day

Bermuda is now under a Tropical Storm Watch.

MV Freewinds
Here's a photo I took of the MV Freewinds several years ago in Barbados.
A little bit of her history:
She sailed the Caribbean, under charter to Commodore, as the Boheme from 1968 - 81, and was the first ship to sail a year-round seven night itinerary from Miami.
Between 1981 and 1985, she was under new ownership, but was again chartered out in 1982-83 for South American itineraries.
Following a refit, she again homported in Miami in 1984, and then in St. Petersburg until late 1986, when she was sold.
Today, she is owned and run by companies connected with the Church of Scientology, and is used as a floating platform for their educational programs.
