Celebrity Cruises

As someone who enjoys a few cocktails on vacation, one of the most annoying things about booking a cruise is that alcohol is rarely included. 

For many cruisers, savoring a glass of wine over dinner or a tropical cocktail by the pool is a must-do while onboard. As such, drink packages are among the most common add-ons. However, they aren't cheap.

One of the most famous cruise ship captains has experienced unexpected heartbreak this holiday season.

Kate McCue, also known as Captain Kate on social media, announced on Instagram today that her beloved cat, Bug, has sadly passed away. According to Captain Kate’s post, Bug had complications from a routine dental surgery the day after Christmas.

I love cruising, whether a port-intensive sailing to Greece or a short getaway to the Bahamas, so within the past year, I tried cruises to the Bahamas on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Carnival ships.

Each line is known for something different. Carnival, for example, is known for its fun, lively atmosphere with plenty of activities geared toward partygoers and families. On the other hand, Celebrity provides a more refined and sophisticated experience, with an emphasis on fine dining and world-class service. 

Flying across the world for a cruise might not be everyone’s idea of vacation. With a 17-hour time change and more than 24 hours of travel time to just reach the cruise embarkation port, this vacation might not appeal to anyone.

If you're looking for a chance to save on a Celebrity Cruise, its Black Friday sale is the perfect opportunity to book everything from cruise fares to shore excursions. 

Celebrity Cruises has announced that a new ship class is in the works.

Last week while at the CruiseWorld conference in Fort Lauderdale, Laura Hodges Bethge, President of Celebrity Cruises, announced there will be a new class of ships for the cruise line. As reported in Travel Weekly, this new project is called "Project Nirvana."

Having sailed on the newest ships launched by premium cruise lines Celebrity Cruises and Princess Cruises, I've had the opportunity to gain firsthand experience at what makes each brand desirable. 

Celebrity's Edge Class ships boast modern, upscale designs, with an emphasis on luxury and fine dining. On the other hand, Princess' brand-new Sphere Class shines with its focus on a wealth of onboard activities, casual dining, and the line's innovative MedallionClass. 

I recently sailed on Celebrity Beyond for the President’s Cruise, and while I am a loyal Royal Caribbean cruiser, I will certainly return to Celebrity without hesitation. Celebrity Cruises is a hidden gem among the Royal Caribbean brand.

Celebrity Cruises provides a more modern and elevated cruise experience. You won’t find a FlowRider or zip-line onboard their ships, but you will find amazing cuisine, stunning entertainment, and a world-class crew.

Celebrity Cruises' suite program offers an unparalleled experience with luxurious accommodations and top-tier amenities. 

From the 2,850-square-foot Iconic Suite to the more modest Sky Suites, each suite provides guests with an elevated level of comfort. Whether you're enjoying time in your suite or taking advantage of the exclusive amenities, every detail of Celebrity's suite program is created to create a memorable voyage.
