Time in Fort Lauderdale

I am sad to say that due to engine trouble Discovery Sun isn’t sailing to Grand Bahama at the moment. As a result I have got a few days off in Fort Lauderdale. It has been really nice being able to run errands and just catch up on the day-to-day things that I don’t usually get to do when we are sailing. I have got a dentist appointment tomorrow, not my idea fun, but again that is something that is hard to take care of when you are at sea all the time. I am still not sure how much longer the ship will be out of service, and I feel really sorry for people that have planned their vacations to Grand Bahama with Discovery Cruise Line. The technical team is working hard around the clock to get us back into operation as soon as possible.

Feels like summer

We were very busy at the Shore Excursion desk today and needed two large busses for the Beach & Shopping Tour. The weather has been like summer the past few days, not a cloud in the sky and hot, hot, hot, just the way I like it. I always look forward to summer; I love the heat and can’t wait for the ocean to feel like bath water again. I did go swimming in the ocean a few days ago while we were on Grand Bahama, but the water really is still too cool for me. There were a lot of families onboard today so the Discovery Sun kids club was full of little ones, which was great to see. They are always so excited to be on a big ship going to the Bahamas and I always look forward to their stories on the way back when they tell you all about their trip. This is a great time of year to be onboard.
