The World’s Largest Cruise Ship is Coming Home to Cape Canaveral Florida

Having been working in Cape Canaveral this week helping a buyer purchase a condo, I just heard that Royal Caribbean will be bringing in the world’s largest cruise ship on May 4, 2009 and Cape Canaveral will be it’s home. 

The Freedom of the Seas will be 1100 feet long, and hold over 4300 passengers.  It will house over 1300 crew members. The ship features a skating rink, a surfing simulator machine, and a boxing ring.

Three more large ships, from various cruise lines will be built and be coming home to Brevard County Florida in the next couple of years. 

The ship that I saw this week with my buyer was a smaller ship.  It holds just over 2700 passengers and less than 900 employees.  That ship is just under 900 feet long.

I can’t wait to see the new ship coming in!

A Visit to Cape Canaveral Florida

I am currently working with an international buyer that contacted me about 4 months ago, online. We have been corresponding ever since.  He’s very funny. 

He is currently here in the states for 10 days to purchase a property and then he will go back to England.  We have spent several days looking at properties in Cape Canaveral Florida.

It’s funny as I talk to him, so often his comments are, ” I know, I read that in your blog online.” He indicated that he’s been reading my blog for sometime now, from over in England. I LOVE IT! 

So, I wanted to share some pictures of some of the beautiful sights we have seen during his visit here.

This was taken at the Costa Del Rio Condo Complex in Cape Canaveral.  This is what you would have to look at every morning when you get up.

We got a kick out of this sign at a local pond.

 

 No trip to Cocoa Beach or Cape Canaveral would be complete without a visit to the World Famous Cocoa Beach Pier.  This is where surfing contests are held and contestants come from all over the country to compete.

 

.

We spotted about 10 of these manatees in the backyard of a Cape Canaveral Condo complex that we visited. In my 35+ years of living here, I have never seen so many manatees in one spot.

We saw alot of momma manatees with their babies.

 This was the view out the balcony of one of the condos we looked at.

This was the same Cape Canaveral Complex as the sun was setting.

These complexes sit on the Indian River Lagoon and are just blocks from the Atlantic Ocean.

So, many great reasons to live in Cape Canaveral Florida. 

It is absolutely breathtaking!
