Nov 9 & 10 – Freeport, Bahamas
Two full days of Freeport was ample time to shop, walk the beach and most of all finally get to enjoy some of the ships amenities. While most of the 3,600+ passengers were off the ship enjoying land, I used the opportunity to try out the waterslides, sky course, mini golf and more. I did take the shuttle into town Thursday morning to walk the beautiful beaches of Freeport. It was clear that a hard economy has taken its toll on this beautiful island. I passed by closed resorts no longer being manicured and cared for. I didn’t have to walk far to have the entire beach to myself because so many of the properties sit empty.
Our scheduled departure time has been altered more than once. We are all hoping that they are able to complete the repairs in time to get us home to Galveston by Sunday. They have offered ship board credit, a second lobster dinner, and free shuttle service while in Freeport among just some of their gestures to keep us appeased. The show last night, “Destination Unknown” was very well done. But the crowds to get a good seat were brutal. Tomorrow will be the last formal night, and then it will be time to pack for the last time and look forward to returning home after two months of circling the globe.
