Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line has canceled cruises for two months on one of their cruise ships starting tomorrow October 1, 2018.
The reason for the cruise cancelations are due to one of their cruise ships being chartered and will be used as housing for workers helping with the restoration of service after the Massachusetts gas incident. Grand Celebration, which currently sails out of Palm Beach to the Bahamas, is headed to Boston until December.
