Welcome
On behalf of all my officers, staff and crew, I wish to welcome you

S.S. OceanBreeze and wish you and your traveling companions
a wonderful vacation. We
have planned for you an exciting cruise with many enjoyable activities,
entertainment and exquisite cuisine.
We also provide an incredible opportunity to visit one
of the most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas, Blue Lagoon Island,
made famous by the movie “Splash” and of course the TV show “Gilligan’s
Island”.
The S.S. OceanBreeze is a classic ocean liner built in Belfast, Northern
Ireland in 1955 and christened by Queen Elizabeth II. The OceanBreeze has a passenger
capacity of 1,001 and an international crew compliment of 391. The vessel’s cruising speed is 20
knots, her gross tonnage is 21,667 and she measures 604 feet in
length. The ship
to shore call sign is C6FN9.
Our goal onboard is to help you make the most of your cruise vacation. If there is anything we can do to
make your cruise more enjoyable, please do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Master, S.S. OceanBreeze" |
