Today we had the privilege to celebrate the birthday of our Dear friend Anthony who is a Seafarer, working on the Margaritaville at Sea Islander.

Our Cruise side seafarers center Manager Lazaro Perez did a fantastic job organizing a wonderful celebration! His love and support for our seafarers at the Port Tampa Bay is amazing!

Happy 139th Birthday to the City of Tampa! 🎉 🌴

What began as a small settlement on the Hillsborough River has blossomed into a thriving hub of commerce, culture and community.

Port Tampa Bay is proud to be part of the story.

Here's to 139 years of Tampa's history and the growth still ahead!

Today Tampa Port Ministries Seafarers Center mascot Stan the Husky stopped by to check on crew members from the Royal Caribbean Radiance and Margaritaville Islander.

The crew was very happy to see Stan and his owner Eric White checking up on the crew this afternoon while they were in port!

After all his hard work and the crew retuned to the ships. Stan enjoyed a much needed nap on the couch.

We were so blessed to have our faithful partners at The Church at Channelside come out to our seafarers center and help us with some outdoor cleanup! We are so grateful to the church and the volunteers who showed up Saturday!

Our seafarers greatly appreciate the free luggage we provide for them. This gives them an opportunity to send things home to their families and help lower the costs they pay at the airport when they sign off their ship contract!

We are grateful to all our sponsors who help make this possible and put a smile on their faces!

This morning Henry accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior! We are so proud of Henry and his new found commitment to Jesus. We had the opportunity to pray with him and put a Bible in his hand. God is on the move here at The Port Tampa Bay and we are blessed to be part of it!
