Spirit: Freeport

on
July 12, 2024

I’m going to go out on a limb and say today will be good to dock in Freeport today. My excursion should be a go. I say that because yesterday morning I could feel a constant ship rocking. This morning I don’t feel anything. There was a loud engine…

I booked this tour through Carnival for $79.99. I am always interested when I get a chance to see wildlife in their natural habitat. This is supposed to get us in a glass bottom boat in a location where sharks like to hang out because they’re frequently hand fed…
