Celebrity Equinox cruise ship stopped off in Freeport on Grand Bahama Island to provide food and relief for displaced Bahamians after the storm.
reported that cruise staff worked all night to prepare more than 10,000 meals and hundreds of cruise ship guests helped to pack the food which was sent to the island via lifeboats and tug boats. The ship also handed out more than 300,000 bottles of water and the company hopes to park a stationary kitchen on land to keep making meals in the Bahamas.
“The Bahamas hold a special place in our hearts as a treasured place for our guests, and home to more than 500 of our colleagues,” the cruise line explained in a letter. “Now, in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian, we are rolling up our sleeves to help our friends.” The cruise line promised to compensate guests for the unexpected detour, but most seemed more than happy to help.
