Another Murder Right Where You'd Be in Nassau

Nassau continues to be a dangerous port for passengers.

A minibus driver was shot and killed Thursday morning about 7am at East Street North near Prince George Wharf, an area usually busy with tourists and cruise ship passengers. The minibus was from Stuart Cove's so the driver was presumably going to pick up passengers from the arriving cruise ships.

Carnival Expands Partnership with Dr Seuss to Top Deck

A favorite feature of many kids on Carnival ships is the top deck water park, Carnival Waterworks. When Carnival Horizon debuts next spring, it will have a Waterworks like no other, unless you happen to know of another one inspired by the writings of a doctor who hangs with a cat in an extra tall striped stovepipe hat.

Carnival announced today that Carnival Horizon will be the first ship with a Dr. Seuss Waterworks.
