5 Night Cruise from Port Canaveral to Princess Cay, Nassau & Celebration Key
We Set Sail on the Carnival Freedom September 27 to October 2, 2025
April and Ron Jolly, Tom and Debbie Wirth and Brian Shearer along with their merry band of misfits had a truly unforgettable cruise and comic book adventure that is for sure. Sit right back and you'll hear a tale, the tale of a fateful trip.....wait, there was no Professor, or Gilligan or Maryann...but there was an amazing artist and tons of laughter with favorite comic book WhatNot sellers.
Featured Artist:
Brian Shearer is a professional comic book artist and illustrator based in the United States. He has worked on a variety of high-profile comic book titles, including Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Doctor Who, among others. He also writes and illustrates his creator-owned graphic novels, Gunship Thunderpunch and William the Last .
Brian really had no clue what he was getting into. I am sure we gave him a lot of inspiration for new characters. Maybe his next story will take place at sea. His uber's air conditioning was on the fritz, and the driver channeled his inner Dale Earnhardt, and that was before we even got on the ship.

Everyone loved this port from start to finish. We tried to get marooned, but they said we had to go back to the ship.
