R. Kelly’s Love Letter To Fans

R. Kelly is headed to the Bahamas next year on the Carnival Cruise Line “Destiny” and he wants his fans to come along for the fun.

The “Love Letter Cruise” takes its name from the singer’s 10th studio album. Love Letter, which was released in December 2010, earned a Grammy nomination for best R&B album. The album’s eighth track, “Radio Message,” is nominated for best traditional R&B vocal performance.

The five-day cruise, which is organized by Concerts Cruise, departs Miami Oct. 1 and sets sail for Grand Turk Island; Half Moon Cay and Nassau, Bahamas. The cruise returns to Miami Oct. 6.
