The main area of the restaurant is expected to be family-friendly, which could include some amusement activities in part of the restaurant with games such as bocce ball. The wine bar area could serve as a more "adults only" atmosphere farther in the future. Banditos, a small plates Mexican bar that opened in February, is also permanently closed, as well as The Scoop, which offered ice cream. Both were in Milford House's 10,000-square-foot building at the corner of Main and Commerce streets in downtown.

This year the Gate Lodge successfully opened as part of the European Heritage Open Days on Saturday 8th September 2012. This event included guided, historical walking tours around the picturesque Victorian Gatelodge. While the restaurant isn't the same Milford House the community has known for decades, Phillips, Mora and the rest of the team hope to make adjustments and improvements in order to earn customers' loyalty. They hope keeping the name so many people know it by will help bring them back. Brittani Stanford recently came to the Milford House with some of her family, including her children.

As a result of changing the guidelines, the 6,000 people made ineligible would be moved onto the HHA program, which could mean a loss of independence and potentially limit the types of services a caretaker could provide, like catheter care, Coffin said. Coffin said her agency services about 2,300 people in Central Massachusetts, and that cuts to the program would mean added strain on the state’s network of home health aides, who perform the responsibilities of a PCA and additional medical tasks. With food costs, labor costs, rent and insurance, the costs of running a restaurant are much higher than most people think, Horvath said. On Thursday, Horvath grimaced as he stood in Banditos' secluded lounge area, and then strolled to an adjacent dining area with a bar behind which several televisions were mounted. He then descended a few steps into a former patio area of Milford House that has prompted some of the issues leading to the closure. In an effort to provide a comprehensive guide we have included many restaurants in multiple cuisine and ambience categories.

Milford House Bar and Grill Review

The Milford House combines old and new world comfort food with delicately prepared entrees in a historic, warm and welcoming environment. The plans for the renovation were presented before the Milford Planning Commission during its meeting March 8 at the Milford Civic Center. There, commissioners recommended approval of the work on the restaurant — which closed down last summer after 28 years in business — albeit with several conditions. For adults, some additional redemption games will be up in what was formerly the wine bar on the north end of the building. They will accompany a new bar, aimed at serving spirits such as bourbon.

The restaurant will be under new ownership through an Ann Arbor limited liability corporation, and it appears it will operate under the Milford House name.

Lisa Shaw, who oversees the games, said she's received great feedback from both grandparents and teens looking for something fun to do in town.

A longtime mainstay of downtown Milford has closed its doors for good. Plans for an addition to the Milford House restaurant building, 113 E. Those plans include a 2,080-foot addition to the front of the restaurant, which would wrap around the front of the building near the current outdoor patio. The Scoop of Milford will be open during the warmer months, serving up ice cream from inside the building, rather than the walk-up stand that operated there previously. Groups like the Center for Living & Working and Tri-Valley Inc. are personal care management agencies.

With most of downtown's business fronts occupied, she expects it will be an attractive place for another business to locate. "There is very real shortage of labor in the market for restaurants for all different kinds of reasons." Ann Barnette, executive director of the Milford Downtown Development Authority, said she heard Aug. 3 the restaurant would permanently close. "We already have the tank that's been brought up. The fish are waiting for us in Key West, Florida," said John Stewart, a Milford-based architect working on the project. But the most unique feature will be a 20,000-gallon fish tank that is expected to hold several live sharks as a focal point inside the dining room of the restaurant. Milford House (also known as Manor House) is a B1 listed building of national importance and is the former seat of the Mc Crum family, one of Ireland’s premier linen manufacturing dynasties.

On one of the doors, a sign bearing logos for a restaurant of that name, as well as for Banditos, advertises “Now Hiring,” with positions including line cooks, dishwashers, busers and bartenders. The closures were caused by a multitude of problems, said Rob Horvath, who was brought in less than a month ago to manage Banditos in a late-stage effort to salvage the business. Signs on the door seen the afternoon of Aug. 5 indicate the restaurant is permanently closed. While there was plenty of discussion around the needed conditions required by the commission, Chairman John Heidt said he was happy to see activity returning to that part of downtown Milford in the coming months. "This whole amusement area, the area ... is for families," Stewart said. "The north side of the family (area) is going to be hopefully a higher end steak and wine bar."

The submitted plans shows a deficiency of parking on the site, according to an analysis by the village's planning consultant Giffels Webster. On the surface, Milford House Bar and Grill is a clean, spacious restaurant/bar. While waiting for our food, we began to notice why Milford House is unique. Families, singles, couples, barflys, and adults dining with their parents were all enjoying their meals. It’s easy to see why Milford House Bar and Grill appealed to everyone. It’s family-friendly, has a great menu with affordable prices and caters to everyone.

The second phase includes the renovation work and addition of more interior space that was being reviewed by the planning commission. The third phase will include work on the former wine bar, which Stewart said could return in a new format. Gov. Maura Healey’s January budget proposal targeted PCAs as it looked to close a $950 million MassHealth shortfall as a result of declining federal revenues. The House budget released earlier this month did not maintain PCA program funding from fiscal 2024. The program, which is run by MassHealth, gives funds to customers with disabilities to hire personal care attendants to help with daily tasks.

With future plans of restoring Milford House, the house will once again become the central “Hub” of the village. More information, including a full menu, can be found at milfordhousebarandgrill.com. Daniel Mora, a chef who's worked at restaurants in eastern Oakland County, brings his flare to the menu as the head chef of Milford House. The menu has plenty of Italian favorites still, albeit different recipes from the previous ownership. Today, customers can grab a meal, a drink or play some games, all under the same roof. It's become a gathering place for those who stop by, including people both young and old.

We have also created an additional map showing a selection of the beautiful walking and canoeing trails available to you. The restaurant was also connected to The Wine Studio that opened in 2018, and also offered an ice cream stand for walk-up guests looking for a scoop of Guernsey Farms Dairy ice cream or other frozen treats. Now owned by Milford residents, Gerald and Mairead Mackle (also proprietors of Homecare Independent Living), the grounds and buildings of Milford House are being put to good use through a series of charity and community fundraising events.

Prince said MassHealth has told Tri-Valley there would be other options for the approximately 200 people serviced by Tri-Valley and who would lose eligibility. For cancellations made more than14 days in advance of the first day of occupancy, there is a fee of $50 for bookings of five nights or fewer, and a fee of $100 for bookings of six nights or more. Go to the map where you can hover over each button to see the name of each cabin, if you click on any of them it will bring up some information and some pictures of each cabin. Milford House and Banditos were no exception, Horvath said, noting that in his past 27 days as general manager, he had talked to 20 line cook candidates on the phone, got 10 of them to come in for interviews, and had only one show up to work. Commissioner Karen Worrell said the shark tank will make the space a destination.

They enjoyed some pizza and playing games, an experience they expect to replicate often. According to the Governor’s Office, the PCA program is set to cost $2 billion by fiscal 2027. For a very reasonable price we will include a 3 course dinner plus a full breakfast the next morning, or just pay from our priced a la carte menu for the meals you would like to have. We are well known for our wholesome home-cooked meals, utilizing freshly picked vegetables from our very own gardens. But those open positions, which will now never be filled, are also part of a tale that has become all too familiar — the struggle by restaurants to get staff, particularly cooks. Barnette said while it's sad to see Milford House go, she's hopeful the property at a pivotal location in downtown will see new life sooner rather than later.

Milford House restaurant is coming back under new ownership. And it's bringing live sharks

It's just the most recent high-profile restaurant closure in the region the last 18 months. Also in Milford, longtime bar Hector & Jimmy's closed this past June after 36 years in business, citing issues with staffing as being the main driver of the closure. Many restaurants have cited the closure of dining rooms for extended periods of time since the pandemic began, as well as the difficulty many businesses currently face in hiring staff. Stewart said they are doing work in three phases on the property, with the first phase already underway. That work includes renovating the kitchen to get it up and running to offer some service as early as next month, Stewart said.

The Milford House combines old and new world comfort food with delicately prepared entrees in a historic, warm and welcoming environment. The plans for the renovation were presented before the Milford Planning Commission during its meeting March 8 at the Milford Civic Center. There, commissioners recommended approval of the work on the restaurant — which closed down last summer after 28 years in business — albeit with several conditions.

More changes could come as they figure out the needs of the community. The back dining room, which can currently be used as banquet space, may turn more into a party room, with some games from the front of the restaurant possibly moving to the back to accommodate such events. And the potential to add a giant shark tank with live sharks — something that made headlines earlier this year when the restaurant's concept was discussed by the village's planning commission — is still up in the air. Located in the heart of downtown Milford at Main and Commerce streets, the restaurant was closed 2021 by its longtime owners. After months of work and revamping of the business, a new attraction has arrived, complete with ways to dine and play. PCA customers operate as employers and are responsible for finding their own attendants, said Lisa Prince, CEO of Tri-Valley Inc., a Dudley-based organization that provides services for older individuals and younger persons with disabilities.

House lawmakers seek to preserve funding for state's personal care assistant program

Built between 1864 and 1915, the house is famous for being one of the most technically advanced of its day. “We really need to look to be creative, to always be the beacon, and always be … forward thinking and not making short-term decisions based on a budget cycle that might be three years,” Coffin said. State Rep. Brian Murray, D-Milford, said the budget is “in good shape,” even with big unexpected expenses such as the emergency shelter system. He said stabilization funds that have been building up since COVID-19 will be used to fill out those expenses.

Line cooking is more demanding than fast food restaurants, where, he noted, employees can make $15 to $18 per hour. Milford House and Banditos offered more than that in pay, but couldn’t offer enough to attract workers and still maintain a profit in a business with ever-slimmer profit margins, particularly with inflation driving food prices higher. The new partners had converted the space at the front of the restaurant and brought in dozens of arcade games. Now, the games have been mostly removed, with the space barren as Horvath and a few helpers clear out the business.

They do not assign personal care attendants to clients, but rather help people find PCAs and train clients on how to act as employers. You can choose the perfect cabin for your stay, in the location you want. You can book your stay within the map itself by quick link to the booking service.

10 Easy-Care Indoor Plants That Are Safe for Cats

• Peperomia
• Money Tree
• Red Prayer Plant
• A Lush Plant With 'Dancing' Leaves

Because they love humidity, they make a great bathroom plant—but any warm place with bright, indirect light works well as long as it's not too dry. She also recommends that pet owners avoid shamrock (Oxalis spp.) and Sago palm (Cycas spp.), which can induce feline liver failure. Instead, opt for houseplants safe for cats such as the following, all of which are included in the ASPCA Non-Toxic Plant List – Cats. With its luscious, hanging fronds, the Boston fern (Nephrolepsis exaltata) is a popular and low-maintenance house plant native to tropical and subtropical America. It thrives in warm environments and should be kept out of the cold, and well-maintained humidity is all-important for this tropical plant. It does best in warm environments (room temperatures above 55 degrees Fahrenheit) with medium humidity, but shouldn’t be kept in direct light—part shade is best.

Peperomia

You can give your cat fresh-cut leaves or dry them out and store them for later use. Palms such as areca palm, kentia, bamboo palm, cane palm, figleaf, parlor, pony tail, and lady palm pose no threat to tabby. The ponytail palm, a.k.a. Beaucarnea recurvata, has so much character your pet might want to befriend it.

Money Tree

You’re sure to find a perfect fit (without worrying about your cat) in the following ten options. Remember the phrase “curiosity killed the cat.” Cats are notoriously curious and may be tempted to take a bite out of your houseplants. Make sure that your houseplants are safe and nontoxic if you have cats in your home.

Red Prayer Plant

Officially named Hypoestes phyllostachya, it’s easy to see where the punnier name came from. The speckled leaves come in a variety of colors (from white to pink to purple), and indirect sunlight with frequent misting will keep it vibrant and vital. Like orchids, air plants, and bromeliads, the rabbit's fern is an epiphyte that doesn't need soil to thrive; it gets the nutrients and water it needs from its habitat. Still, you can plant the fern in a porous potting mix as long as it's provided with consistent moisture (without having "wet feet").

Boston ferns like moist soil most of the time, so a well-draining, but moisture retentive soil is a good option. Achieve this with a peat moss based medium, with added perlite, to ensure sufficient drainage. The money tree (Pachira aquatica) is pet-friendly, air-purifying, and said to bring good luck and positive energy into your home. It’s a perfect indoor plant that can give any room a tropical feel.

Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata bostoniensis)

Also, be mindful of your cat’s potential sensitivities or allergies. Indoor plants may also be fun to play with, and some plants may just be tasty. While we provide information resources and canine education, the content here is not a substitute for veterinary guidance. Some cats will get an upset stomach while ingesting a larger amount can lead to kidney failure or be fatal. Water your pilea every week or two, and rotate it 180 degrees every time you water so it grows more symmetrically.

BWH 4-Inch Myrtillocactus Geometrizans 'Boobie Cactus'

Another popular indoor palm that is safe for pets and easy to care for. Despite its name, the Ponytail Palm isn’t a palm at all – it’s a succulent! Not only that, but it’s also super easy to care for and is safe around pets. Yes, several safe houseplants for pets are particularly effective at filtering indoor air. The Purple Waffle is a pretty plant with highly textured purple leaves. These leaves produce the best color in a setting, providing bright, indirect lighting.

Alternatively, for more cat care content and posts like this one, check out our cat care archives. The movement of leaves on a Ficus Tree can also be a great source of entertainment for cats. Plants that mimic the motion of prey can excite cats and trigger their hunting instincts. It will also make them less prone to ingest non-food items like plants out of curiosity. Some cats may have allergies to this plant, which could lead to sneezing, coughing, and runny eyes. Prevent cats from ingesting large amounts to avoid gastrointestinal upset or other symptoms.

Gloxinias (Sinnigia speciose) are very popular in the early spring and are often gifted around Mother’s Day. These are a perfect gift for someone that has cats and wants a blooming plant. Hardy and low-maintenance, Haworthias are a popular pet-friendly choice among pet parents and succulent lovers. Provide vertical options like cat trees, shelves, or window perches.

Also, prevent excessive plant material consumption, which can cause digestive issues. While not toxic, monitoring your cat’s interaction with the plant is still advisable. It can cause vomiting or diarrhea, especially if consumed in large amounts. You can place your Maranta leuconeura where your cat cannot nibble on its leaves. Protective measures like placing it in a hanging basket or a plant barrier are also good options.

One of the best air purifying house plants according to a 1989 NASA study and an easy plant to care for, you’ll definitely want to add this plant to your pet-friendly shortlist. Bonus – Creeping Charlies are considered an easy to care for houseplant with attractive light green leaves, and can make your home smell heavenly thanks to their small lavender flowers. If you’re on the hunt for a traditional, medium sized houseplant that is safe for cats and dogs, the Cast Iron Plant may be an option for you.

They are safe for cats, but most cats will leave them alone because they have pointed leaves and a waxy texture. Prayer plants grow best in well-draining soil and in indirect sunlight. They don’t do well when their soil is completely dried out, so it’s important to make sure they’re being watered consistently. One of the few pines that can thrive indoors, the Norfolk Island (also called Australian pine) type isn’t actually a pine—which could explain its unusual tolerance.

Gloxinia does well in indirect sunlight and is a perfect window sill plant for a slightly shadier area of the home. They like bright indirect light and humid conditions so work great in bathrooms. Need lots of watering during the summer period as they don’t appreciate drying out. Some houseplants, like lilies, may offer major benefits like air purification and anxiety reduction but are also among the most toxic plants to cats. If you have cats, there are certain houseplants you should not bring into your home due to their toxic properties and a feline's inclination to chew on greenery. Baby tears (Soleirolia soleirolii) can be a good choice if you had your heart set on a jade plant.

If you’re looking for a new luxurious lipstick, you can’t go wrong with the Matte Revolution formula. We love Pillow Talk (duh) for an everyday shade but don’t sleep on the other options in the range. From light nudes to rich cranberry shades, there’s something for everyone. With this kit, you can choose two of your favorite glosses and a reliable liner to get "pout perfection" every time. The Lip Lustre glosses are infused with lotus flower extract for a hydrating effect, while the liner provides six hours of definition during the day. Much like the go-to items in your closet, this trio will also become your new favorite for daily use.

I've worn Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk lipstick and blush for years, and can vouch for its silky-smooth formulas and pigmented yet subtle colors, which keep me coming back. If Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk has zero fans, it's because I've quit wearing makeup altogether. Summer isn't over yet, especially when you have this beauty set that offers an all-over sun-kissed look. Dress up your eyes with a warm shimmer, make your pout pop with a touch of coral and don't forget to make your cheeks glow with the Filmstar palette.

Then, you also get the Lip Cheat Lip Pencil, which is excellent for perfecting your pout, and even works well for over-lining, thanks to the matte texture. Finally, included in the set is the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipstick, which has been worn by almost every A-lister, from Meghan Markle to Lizzo. These products come in the shade Pillowtalk, Charlotte Tilbury's bestselling color, which is like a dusty, pinky nude that suits everybody. Summertime means it's time to get your glow on, but this kit can help you keep it going well beyond the summer season. The three-product set includes a color-correcting primer, the Magic Foundation and a two-tone powder blush compact.

You are likely going to want to smell them all, so luckily there's a discovery set. The travel sizes are priced at just $25, so grab a few before buying full-sized bottles, and bring them with you on all your summer adventures. Shop now to be among the first to get in on these enchanting, modern perfumes. The dusty pink-hued Pillow Talk line is the ultimate crème de la crème of Charlotte Tilbury's signature shades. Often worn by stars and celebrities like Duchess Meghan, Lizzo, Amal Clooney, and Gwyneth Paltrow, the shades have drawn legions of loyal beauty fans.

If it's been over a year since you last put on foundation or lipstick, it might be time to give your beauty bag a refresh (because yes, makeup products do expire). The Airbrush Flawless Finish is hands-down one of my top five favorite foundations of all time. It leaves the skin with a velvety-matte finish, stays put for hours (it’s a great wedding day foundation), and doesn’t settle into lines or emphasize texture. The accompanying powder is the perfect sidekick to set the foundation and keep on hand for touchups. Are you obsessed with Charlotte Tilbury and all her makeup products that can't stop becoming viral sensations?

10 Houseplants Safe For Cats

Well after reading through the seemingly never-ending list it occurred to me that it might be better to get a list of houseplants safe for cats. Of course, for the sake of your plants and your pets, you’ll want to keep all houseplants out of the general reach of your pets. Miller also suggests ensuring you’re not housing any toxic houseplants such as aloe vera, cutleaf philodendron and pothos and snake plants. And if you have a balcony, don’t risk allowing your cat access unless there’s a protective barrier. Snake plants (Sansevieria trifasciata) are popular due to their unique appearance and ability to clean the air of toxins in your home.

Why do cats eat houseplants?

Plus, they’re fairly easy to maintain, requiring just some bright to full light and weekly watering in warmer seasons. They grow best in moderate indirect light but can tolerate slightly shadier environments too, perfect if you live in a darker house or apartment. A word of warning, these houseplants can grow up to 8 feet tall, so if you’re not looking for a tall houseplant that needs some tending and pruning, this isn’t the one for you. Sturdy, safe and stylish, spider plants are aptly named for their eight legged look, and are sure to add a decorative flair to any room. Bonus – ferns are one of the easiest houseplants to look after, and are fairly low maintenance.

Money Tree (Pachira aquatica)

The plant is said to bring good fortune, hence the name, and it’s not too tricky to look after – water once the top couple of inches of compost has dried out and mist every few days. Chinese money plant (Pilea peperomioides) is a low-maintenance house plant that will do well in a place that gets bright light. It’s also known as pancake plant due to its round leaves that can reach 15cm across. The Ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) is a wonderful cat safe houseplant that looks great, and your cat will also love it.

Even though they have an exotic appearance, they’re relatively easy to care for. They just have to be kept in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight and get watered regularly. You can keep leaf and stem cuttings in water, and they should sprout roots within a couple of weeks. The parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans) adds tropical flair to even the dreariest of spaces with its cheerful nontoxic fronds.

Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea Elegans)

These toxic plants can have effects ranging from mild stomach upset to organ failure and even death. Below are just a few houseplants that should be avoided, according to Dr. Rosen. Spider plants grow best in light shade, and direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent scorched leaves.

Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata bostoniensis)

“Luckily, there are many types of prayer plants available, so you can relax and load up on this family of feline-friendly plants,” says Blocker. Although this charming trailing succulent is nontoxic, what's an easy way to keep it safe from your inquisitive cats? Hang it from your ceiling or on the edge of a high shelf in a bright, sunny spot. Bright light will encourage the growth of its long, ropelike stems into a beautiful hanging plant your cats can't touch. Typically topping off at about 4 feet when mature, the parlor palm grows as well in the more relaxed atmosphere of living rooms as it once did in Victorian parlors. And you won’t need to palm it off on a friend if you catch your cat eating it, since it is nontoxic.

Dr. Fox received her veterinary education at Cornell University and has 15-plus years of experience in the field. She has worked in emergency, shelter, medicine, surgery, and general medicine. Dr. Fox is passionate about client education and making sure pet parents have the most up-to-date, accurate, and accessible information to empower them as caregivers and companions. She also has a soft spot for feel-good TV, so you can catch her writing about popular shows like Virgin River, Sweet Magnolias, Hallmark Channel’s When Calls the Heart and more.

This attractive plant, with big oval leaves, can cope with some shade and will brighten a dull spot indoors. Xerographica air plants also tolerate higher levels of light than some other air plants. Place your air plant in really bright light, without too much direct sunlight and water once per week by submerging it in water. If you’ve got a cat at home, you’ll know they often like getting in amongst your plants and maybe even having a little nibble on a few leaves or flowers. Whilst you might be a bit upset if your houseplants lose some leaves or blooms to a hungry or curious kitty, it’s even more important to pick houseplants safe for cats.

Money tree

Money trees can grow to be several feet, making them a welcome addition for pet parents seeking large indoor plants not toxic to cats. There's nothing quite like the striking presence of a lush Boston fern to add an elegant touch to a room. As a bonus, these ferns are easy to care for, requiring warm temps and bright, indirect light. They're nontoxic to cats, but if you really want to make sure prying paws don't come into contact with your plant, simply pot it in a hanging basket and suspend it from your ceiling. That way, it'll be out of reach of even the most acrobatic kitties. Very popular due to its good looks and relatively low maintenance.

There are plenty of plants that grow well in low-light conditions that don’t pose a threat to your cats. Haworthia (haworthia species) also known as the zebra cactus, is a small succulent safe for cats. Note that not all succulents are cat friendly, so choose carefully.

However, in the winter, it’s advisable to reduce watering as the plant goes into a period of dormancy. But the cats’ carnivorous nature makes them less capable of processing plant materials. Excessive consumption of the plant may lead to digestive issues. However, some cats may have allergies or sensitivities to these plants.

The plant has saponins, which can be toxic to cats if ingested in large quantities. Kept as a houseplant, it can do well in a small hanging basket or as an addition to your terrarium. The fronds or leaves contain sap that can cause allergic dermatitis in cats. It can lead to skin irritation, redness, itching, swelling, or blisters when in contact with it. While the asparagus fern is not highly toxic to cats, it can still cause issues if ingested. To create a safe environment for your cat and your prayer plant, keep the plant out of your cat’s reach.

Some also choose non-toxic, non-allergenic, pet-safe houseplants to keep them safe. There are many reasons housecats and other pets might chew on houseplants. Bamboo palms are non-toxic to cats, and they come in a wide variety of sizes.

Native to tropical regions, Boston Ferns thrive in humid conditions. I find cats are often quite attracted to the Christmas cactus, and mine always seems to get a bit beaten up, but as long as my cat is ok, then I don’t really mind too much. Christmas cactuses are to be enjoyed, and as long as both me and my cat are having fun, then I’m happy to keep my Christmas cactus around. Check out my article about Areca palm care which goes into all the detail you’ll need to grow and care for this awesome plant. If your loved ones with cats can’t keep a plant alive, this is the gift for them. Pet parents know every cat has their quirks, and that extends to what they like to snack on.

They grow pendulous heads of waxy looking, five-pointed star-shaped flowers. Peperomia is a large genus of over 1000 small perennial plants that make great houseplants. They are kept for their wonderful ornamental foliage, which comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. As a preventive measure, refrain from bringing any plants into your home if you don’t know their species or name. If you discover that you have a toxic plant or flower, promptly rehome it or relocate it to an area inaccessible to your cat. As Poinsettia are toxic to cats and dogs, I like to use Polka Dot Plants instead at Christmas, and sprinkle them with a bit of gold dust for a real festive feel.

Its success as a port made it a prime target for the British during the War of 1812 and also for the Confederates during the Civil War. The coastline and islands are still dotted with forts that were built to protect the city. Ironically, during an Independence Day celebration in 1866, a firecracker ignited a fire that quickly spread across the city's east end, destroying 1,800 buildings. All of the larger cruise ships that visit Portland dock at The Maine State Pier (Portland Ocean Terminal) or the Ocean Gateway Terminal. On March 16, 2018, was announced a plan to fund the USD 2 million ferry terminal's upgrade project. The Ocean Gateway terminal serves all ferries connecting Maine USA with Nova Scotia (NS Canada).

We work with the city, Visit Portland, Visit Freeport, and other organizations to support the local economy and promote responsible tourism practices. Cruise Portland Maine was established in 2006 as a Consortium to attract the cruise ship industry to the Port of Portland and its complimenting shore excursion destinations of Freeport and Kennebunkport. At that time, Portland received fewer than 20 ships a year. The terminals are located adjacent to Commercial Street, which runs alongside the waterfront and features restaurants, quaint shops and fishermen at work. A visitor information booth is located just outside the cruise terminal, where you can pick up city maps. The historic port was once a major shipbuilding center, as well as one of the busiest fishing ports on the Atlantic as far back as the 18th century.

Major cruise ships dock at the Portland Ocean Terminal (also known as the Maine State Pier) and the Ocean Gateway Terminal, both on the fringe of the Old Port. Will it be the lobster traps piled on the wharf, the smell of sea air combined with the chatter of seagulls or a visit to a historic attraction? If you're like the majority of visitors, a succulent lobster lunch may be your most savory memory of this New England port. It's hard to imagine this crustacean was once deemed poor man's food, but it's true -- lobsters would wash up on Portland's shores after a storm and be used primarily as fertilizer and bait. But with the advent of land transportation, lobsters were brought inland by the mid-1800's, and as the demand for lobsters increased so did the price. Today, the city boasts numerous restaurants -- all of which feature lobster (in some form) on their menus.

Take a 90-minute narrated trolley tour, passing many popular attractions (adults $12, kids $6). Tickets can be purchased at the visitor info kiosk by the cruise terminal (14 Ocean Gateway Pier).

The FBI said it believed it was an isolated incident with no other reports of threats to passengers during the cruise. However, the bureau routinely investigates certain crimes on the high seas, as well as suspicious deaths of U.S. persons. The team responded to process the passenger’s room once the ship returned to Charleston on March 4 and to review the circumstances of the death. Officials are now reporting that a woman passenger who died on a Carnival cruise ship likely died from a “medical condition” days after the media widely reported it as a “suspicious death,” that was being investigated by the U.S.

Investigators with the FBI Columbia field office said a female passenger died during Carnival Sunshine’s Feb. 27 voyage to Nassau, Bahamas. Carnival said the FBI met its Carnival Sunshine ship as it returned to Charleston to assist in the investigation. The deceased female and her husband were taken off the ship in Nassau as authorities in the Bahamas investigated the death. The FBI's Columbia field office confirmed in a press release that it investigates "certain crimes on the high seas, as well as suspicious deaths of U.S. persons." Lupoli said in a statement that authorities in the Bahamas "have already investigated the circumstances and are conducting an autopsy" and that Carnival is "fully cooperating." Carnival said it believes the initial response to the emergency medical "was appropriate," per the reports.

The victim, who has not been publicly identified, was found unresponsive on Carnival Sunshine last Monday as the ship sailed to Nassau, according to a statement released Sunday by the FBI Columbia field office.

The death comes just weeks after Carnival announced stricter policies designed to ensure “the best environment” aboard its cruise ships. After widely reported incidents including passengers jumping overboard and brawls videotaped for social media, Carnival reports it has added more security workers aboard its ships. Carnival Cruise Line issued a brief update on March 7, stating, “It appears that this was indeed a medical situation that sadly resulted in the death.” The cruise line said it was cooperating and would defer to the FBI on any specific details. “The FBI investigates certain crimes on the high seas, as well as suspicious deaths of U.S. persons.

Cruise Hive was established back in 2008 and among the earliest blogs in the industry.

Out of respect for the family, the cruise line declined to offer additional details. However, it was reported that the woman’s body was removed from the ship when it reached Nassau in the Bahamas and that her husband had also disembarked from the cruise. The Bahamian police were reportedly reviewing the circumstances and planning an autopsy.

Jessica Lani Rich, a visitor at the Aloha Society of Hawaii told KITV Island News that the woman who died was celebrating her 46th wedding anniversary with her husband. "We heard the tire of a vehicle screeching," Lillian Le, a visitor from Denver told the broadcast station. I have also never seen a PR statement by Carnival Cruise Line or its parent company, Carnival Corporation, ending with “we have no further comments,” especially followed up with a statement which completely contradicts its earlier statement. Future port development may bring cruises back to Charleston in the years to come. The February 27 cruise was a 5-night voyage, calling on Nassau and Half Moon Cay, along with a day at sea to start and end the getaway.

"It appears that this was indeed a medical situation that sadly resulted in the death of a guest," Carnival said in Tuesday's statement, per the reports. In a statement on Tuesday, the cruise line said "all indications" suggest the woman died of a medical condition while on board Carnival Sunshine in The Bahamas, according to NBC and CBS News. FBI spokesman Kevin Wheeler confirmed to the outlet that both search warrants are related to the woman’s death on the ship, which left Charleston, South Carolina, on Feb. 27 and returned March 4. "There was an incident on Carnival Magic on Friday evening involving a guest attacking another guest with a bar glass while in the theater," said a statement by Carnival Cruise Lines sent to Newsweek.

The death is the latest in a series of incidents that drew widespread media attention and are prompting Carnival Cruise Line to institute a new “Respectful and Considerate Code of Conduct,” in advance of its spring break cruises. And I am not aware of a single crime on a cruise ship successfully investigated and prosecuted by the Bahamas. The FBI investigates certain crimes on the high seas, as well as suspicious deaths of Americans. As such, FBI Evidence Response Team members responded to process the passenger’s room once the ship returned to the Charleston port.
