Celebrity Cruises; For The Delight Of It
Why Take a Cruise Vacation? Well, with all the cruise lines
available, all the cruise destinations, and the range of prices,
there exists a cruise to please even the most jaded traveller.
If you think about it, it's an extremely cost-effective and
time-efficient way to take a holiday. Consider all the time
you'd spend driving yourself to several different destinations,
packing and unpacking at each hotel, and searching for
restaurants and other services.
On a cruise you don't drive anywhere for seven, ten, fourteen
days or even even more. Even if you were on a bus tour with no
driving yourself, you haul your luggage or at least one package
and unpack it at every new stop.
On a cruise, you check your luggage when you check in and it
magically appears in your cabin, stateroom, or even suite.
You're at home for the duration of the cruise. And the food!
Every ship has several restuarants staffed by world-class chefs,
and the cost of the food is included as part of the cruise. At
each port, guided tours are available so you won't miss any
local attractions.
Supervised activities such as snorkeling are available to keep
the children occupied. And at the end of your holidy staff will
pick up your luggage and place it on shore at the intended
pick-up point. Taking a cruise vacation frees you from so many
of the hassles of traveling, and leaves you with more time to
relax and enjoy your destination.
Celebrity Cruise Lines offer some of the best deals in the
business. Conde Nast Traveler consistently rates Celebrity
Cruises as one of the world's best cruise lines. Services
include informative lectures about your location, upscale
boutiques, and Las Vegas style entertainment created for
Celebrity by Cirque du Soleil. Try your luck in the Casino or
collect fine art during an onboad auction.
The nightlife spectacular at The Bar At The Edge of the Earth.
There's a whole world of pampering waiting for you at the
world-famous Aqua-Spa by Elemis.
Try a deluxe manicure, a luxurious facial or a relaxing massage.
There is even acupuncture by a licensed acupuncturist and
Chinese medicine as well. You'll feel renewed and invigorated.
Children feel right at home on a Celebrity Cruise. The
Celebrity X-Club Youth Program has age-specific activities and
entertainment for every child.
Science and nature exploration, talent shows, treasure hunts,
children's dinner parties, slumber parties and more are all
arranged by professional staff.
Special areas of the ship are set aside for children only, such
as the Shipmates Fun Factory, teen center and pools. When the
ship is docked, adults have the option of going on tours by
themselves while the children are supervised onboard.
What could be more enjoyable or safer? Age or disability are no
impediment to cruising. Ships are designed for mobility-impaired
passengers, and staff is always ready to assist.
Celebrity accommodates those who need dialysis or oxygen, and
other medical services can be arranged if requested beforehand.
Emergency care is always available on board, saving you the
trouble of finding a doctor who speaks your language in a
foreign country.
Dinner is a vital event in itself on a cruise ship, a tradition
dating back to the late 1800's when cruises were for royalty and
the wealthy who expected elegant formal dinners.
Again, in today's lifestyle the elegant dinner is optional, and
for those who like to dine casually, food is available around
the clock . However, for those who like a ritzy event where they
can show off their best attire and jewelry, there are optional
formal dinners where ladies wear long formal gowns or evening
dresses and gentlemen have on tuxedos.
Did I forget to mention the cruise destination itself?
Celebrity Cruises dock at a different port of call every day or
two, depending upon distances and sailing time between points of
interest. You can stay aboard the ship all day or disembark.
You are free to explore every destination on your itinerary as
long as you return to the ship before departure time.
For a small additional fee, Celebrity offers adventures geared
toward the unique features of each destination. As an example,
Caribbean cruises offer snorkeling, diving or beach excursions
while Alaskan cruises offer helicopter tours or sea kayak trips.
For the less adventuresome, commonly there are bus tours or
even supervised shopping excursions in the local port. Every
single thing, including meals, is prearranged.
All you have to do is find the correct line onshore and an
experienced guide handles the rest of your tour.
With all these wonderful services available at a reasonable
cost, why not consider a Cruise vacation?
