Dry Dock Cruise Ships (and others) at the Grand Bahama Shipyard - Freeport Harbour, Freeport, Grand Bahama Island - Monday February 18th, 2019

            What an unexpected bonus awaited us in Freeport!  Because of construction at Cococay, our cruise itinerary was modified and that private island was replaced with Freeport on Grand Bahama Island.  I think that people were generally fine, though a few were more vocal in their complaining.  The captain during the session with guests and other crew leaders made a good point.  We were a longer cruise and a shorter one that only went to Cococay and Nassau could not be well served with changing their itinerary.  So we got to go to Freeport Harbour.  I knew there was going to be one ship in port with us, but as we approached, I noticed more cruise ships?  Normally the sites do not get it that wrong.  But they I realized that these were ships in dry dock, something I had never ever seen before.  The ships in dry dock are the Royal Caribbean's  Navigator of the Seas and Empress of the Seas, the Celebrity Summit and the Carnival Freedom.  Also there was the GNV-Rhapsody, a car ferry from Italy.  These were being serviced at the Grand Bahama Shipyard.  For the record, I would have loved if they did a brief harbor tour so you could get closer. Have to figure I am not the only ship-geek who would enjoy that.  I will have to suggest that for the next time I am in Freeport!  Taken from onboard the Grandeur of the Seas and on terra firma at Freeport, Grand Bahama Island on Monday February 18th, 2019.  These were from our Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas for a 9 Night Southeast Coast & Bahamas Cruise (February 14th through the 23rd, 2019).  The itinerary include stops in Charleston (SC), Port Canaveral (FL), Freeport (Grand Bahama Island), Nassau (Bahamas) and Miami (FL) before heading back to Baltimore.
