6 DAY BAHAMA CRUISE, FROM BALTIMORE MD
FIRST STOP PORT CANAVERAL, ORLANDO FL
Port Canaveral, in the center of Florida's east coast, is the surfing capital of the Atlantic. It is home to rocket and shuttle launches, the largest sea turtle nesting area in the country, the largest scallop fishery on the planet and a national refuge with more endangered species than any other. Oh, and it's also the second busiest cruise port in the world.
Even with all of these superlatives, most cruise passengers associate Port Canaveral with Orlando just 45 miles east -- and with Walt Disney World, Universal theme parks and Sea World so close, it would be difficult to find a cruise port anywhere that offers access to more theme parks and family-friendly tourist attractions. But for those who've already had (or care to pass up) the Orlando experience, Port Canaveral is worth a pre- or post-cruise visit in and of itself.
The port bills itself as Orlando's closest beach with dolphins, manatees, loggerhead turtles and miles of pristine sand -- minus the crowds typical of South Florida. A mile and a half of bike paths run throughout Port Canaveral, as well as three parks, including Jetty Park where camping and fishing opportunities abound. The bustling Cove at Port Canaveral features a variety of restaurants and shops.
But with Port Canaveral smack in the middle of what's known as Florida's 72-mile Space Coast, the premier attraction is the Kennedy Space Center, where guests can meet and talk to actual astronauts. The U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, six miles from the visitors' center, houses the world's largest collection of astronaut memorabilia as well as displays, exhibits and tributes dedicated to the heroes of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo.
FINAL DESTINATION THE BEAUTIFUL FREEPORT BAHAMAS
Freeport's greatest distinction is that it's on the Bahamas' nearest island to Miami. Located a mere 50 miles east,
Grand Bahama Island is a regular on the short-cruise circuit from South Florida. But the isle, the fourth largest in the Bahamas' 700-strong chain, also owes its popularity to its beaches -- pretty, smooth white sand rings Grand Bahama Island -- and its water sports, from snorkeling to deep sea fishing.
EAST OF THE RIVER WILL PRESENT A 2 HOUR JAZZ CONCERT IN COUNT BASIE SQUARE
Named after the famous jazz entertainer, this square lies at the nexus of Port Lucaya's entertainment district. At any time of day, tropical beats can be heard emanating from this popular open-air gathering spot. The square's busy events calendar commonly includes parades, festivals, calypso and limbo dancing. The area is constantly bustling with activity. Shopping, yacht watching and dining are all nearby
COUNT BASIE
William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984) was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. Widely regarded as one of the most important jazz bandleaders of his time, Basie led his popular Count Basie Orchestra for almost 50 years. Many notable musicians came to prominence under his direction, including tenor saxophonists Lester Young and Herschel Evans, trumpeters Buck Clayton and Harry "Sweets" Edison and singers Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams. Basie's theme songs were "One O'Clock Jump" and "April In Paris".
