Cruising with Confidence

click to enlarge images

Someday is Here

Imagine sitting on an open deck of Celebrity Edge as she departs Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The warm ocean breezes gently caress your body as you gaze out to sea in disbelief as Florida fades into the sunset. 

This is not a dream - it is really happening. After more than a year of hibernation for you and Celebrity Edge, CDC has allowed cruising out of Fort Lauderdale and you are onboard as she departs for one of the first voyages in 2021.

Your friends and family tried to talk you out of going on a cruise, but you wouldn't listen.  They asked what will you do if you test positive for COVID-19 right before your trip or even during the trip?  Won't you loose all your money?  

When you go on vacation, the last thing you want to do is worry about anything.  That's why you spoke with your travel advisor who explained all the health and safety protocols as well as the cruise with confidence policies. 

You knew that you had an ace in your pocket.  Celebrity Cruises has your back.  Even with all the safety protocols in place, the experts knows there is always a chance that something unforeseen can occur.   Celebrity Cruises has planned for that, and created an assistance policy which put your mind at ease.

      

COVID-19 Assistance 

Book a Celebrity cruise that’s sailing on or before October 31, 2021 and you’ll have the following reassurance at no extra charge: 

• 100% cruise fare refund for you, and your Traveling Party, if any of you tests positive for COVID-19 within 14 days prior to the cruise or at the boarding terminal. 
• Pro-rated cruise fare refund for anyone who has their cruise cut short due to testing positive for COVID-19 or being suspected of having COVID-19 during the cruise. 
• If you test positive for COVID-19 during the cruise, Celebrity Cruises will cover the costs of COVID-19 related medical treatment onboard, any required land-based quarantine, and travel home for you and your Traveling Party.

CELEBRITY CRUISES LEADS INDUSTRY WITH FIRST CRUISE SHIP APPROVED TO SAIL FROM A US PORT

 "Someday is here." 

That was the one-line tweet Celebrity Cruises CEO and President Lisa Lutoff-Perlo used to announce the news yesterday that on Saturday, June 26, the exquisite Celebrity Edge will be the first cruise ship to sail from US waters in more than a year. Captain Kate McCue, the first and still only American female Captain, will have the honor of leading the fleet — and the industry — back into operation.

Celebrity Edge will depart Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, setting sail on a seven-night cruise of the Caribbean in what promises to be a historic moment for the brand and the industry. Celebrity Edge was given the green light by the CDC to be the first ship back in the water, having met all new standards for providing a healthy cruise experience for its guests and crew.

Celebrity Edge will sail with a vaccinated crew. US Guests 16 years and older must be fully vaccinated with all COVID-19 vaccine doses administered at least 14 days prior to sailing. As of August 1, 2021, all US Guests age 12 and older must be fully vaccinated. Requirements for Non-U.S. guests vary, for details please visit https://www.celebritycruises.com/healthy-at-sea. 

Additional testing and protocols will be confirmed closer to your client’s sailing departure date in line with the most up to date recommendations from local government and health officials as well as our Healthy Sail Panel. These measures, including vaccination and testing requirements, will evolve along with public health standards.

Celebrity Edge will sail alternating 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings from Fort Lauderdale, FL through October 30th.  She will sail an 8-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary on November 6th.

Travel Alert: Computer Problem Halts American Airlines Flights

American Airlines grounds flights until 5pm

American Airlines flights across the country are grounded because of computer problems.

 

American asked the Federal Aviation Administration to halt its flights until 5 p.m. EDT. Flights on regional affiliate American Eagle heading to Dallas, Chicago or New York's LaGuardia Airport have been stopped until 3:30 p.m. EDT.

Some passengers are stuck on planes while others can't make reservations.

American Airlines spokesman Kent Powell said that the airline is trying to resolve the issues as quickly as it can.

The company is providing updates on their website and Facebook page. 

UPDATE as of 3:30pm CDT: Our systems have been fully restored, however we expect continued flight delays and cancellations throughout the remainder of the day. We have made several options available to our customers:

If customers must travel today and are already at the airport, they can rebook on another airline by visiting an American Airlines agent or by going to the other airline’s ticket counter with their electronic ticket number.

If customers must travel today and are not yet at the airport, they can rebook through American Airlines reservations or through another carrier and American will honor the fare difference.

If a customer chooses not to travel today, there will be no charge for reservation changes or a full refund will be provided.

It is important to note we see no evidence that today’s technical outage is related to the tragic events in Boston.

We will continue to provide more information throughout the day as we make progress in resolving this issue. We apologize to our customers and our people for this inconvenience.

Disney Fantasy Christened by Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey Christens Disney Fantasy View Gallery

Disney Fantasy

Becomes a Reality

Christened in New York

The Disney Fantasy, the fourth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, was christened March 1st during a star-studded christening celebration at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal.

Stars Shine Bright Aboard Disney Fantasy

Godmother: Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey, took center stage for the christening moment and led the audience in a countdown that triggered a 6-foot tall bottle of champagne in the Atrium Lobby to erupt and shower onlookers with confetti and streamers as a traditional bottle of champagne broke against the ship’s hull.

"I christen thee Disney Fantasy," the native New Yorker intoned. "May God bless this ship and all who sail on her.” 

 Just over a year ago, we watched as the Disney Fantasy keel was laid in a ceremony that took place at the  Meyer Werft shipyard in  Papenburg, Germany. The laying down of the keel is when the first block, or section of the ship, is lowered into the building dock.  This marks the initial step in construction of a ship, so by shipbuilding tradition, the construction is dated from this event. 

Shipbuilding is filled with tradition.  Wine poured upon the deck before a long voyage represents a libation to the gods which will bring good luck. "Christening" a ship by breaking a bottle of champagne across her bow at the time of launching arose from this practice.  Read more about Nautical Superstitions & Legends.

When the Disney Fantasy begins sailing on March 31, 2012, it will continue the innovative approach Disney Cruise line brought to family cruise vacations with a collection of new guest experiences specifically developed for the ship’s seven-night itinerary.

• Animator’s Palate on the Disney Fantasy brings the magic of Disney animation into the dining room with a new show called “Animation Magic.” 
• The Muppets are coming to the Disney Fantasy!
• Soaring above the upper decks of the Disney Fantasy, guests will find the AquaDuck a 765-foot long, twisting-and-turning water coaster  
• AquaLab — a water play area on the upper deck filled with a variety of water “experiments,” created by Donald Duck’s nephews, designed to drench, soak and saturate guests.
• Satellite Falls is a circular splash pool with benches and a gently falling rain curtain that provides cool comfort and is surrounded by ample deck space where adult guests can soak up the sun in loungers or relax in the shade under a canopy.
• “Wishes” is a 45-minute musical journey about three best friends who discover the secret to being a grown-up is staying connected to their inner child. 
• “Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular” is a fast-paced musical comedy where Aladdin, the “street rat” of Agrabah, meets a Genie who grants him three wishes, battles the evil Jafar and falls in love with Princess Jasmine.
• Nightlife takes a European twist with Europa – an entertainment district of high-energy, sophisticated clubs and lounges inspired by the night spots of Italy, France, Ireland and London. 

The Disney Fantasy will sail from Port Canaveral, Fla. on seven-night Caribbean itineraries that alternate eastern (St. Maarten and St. Thomas) and western (Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, Cozumel). All itineraries will include a stop at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.

One Small Step - July 20, 1969

One Small Step for Man,

One Giant Leap for Mankind

July 20, 1969, another one of those days that will be remembered for years to come. Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the lunar surface fulfilling a challenge put forth by President John F. Kennedy.

If you were alive in 1969, odds are you were glued to your radio or television set waiting to hear those first words, "The Eagle has landed." Unlike other days that we remember, this wasn't a tragic day, but rather a triumphant day. Man had entered the new frontier and successfully landed on new unexplored shores, much like the explorers who sailed the oceans in search of new land centuries before.

What does this have to do with cruise vacations you ask? The event itself isn't directly related to cruising, but Port Canaveral, home of NASA, is one of the popular ports of embarkation. That means you can extend your cruise vacation either before or after your cruise and visit the Kennedy Space Center and learn more about the space program.

Several cruise lines depart from Port Canaveral. You can select from Carnival Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line or Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. The cruises include 3, 4 or 5 night Bahama cruises, 7 or 9 night Eastern/Western Caribbean, 11 night Southern Caribbean, and even 14 night cruises to Eastern/Western Caribbean or even a Transatlantic.

Search for cruises leaving from Port Canaveral.

Since 2009 is the 40th anniversary of the landing on the moon, this would be a good time to visit Port Canaveral, Florida. What better way to begin or end a cruise vacation than by visiting the space center to add some enrichment to your pleasure trip?

You too can make one small step by learning more about our history in space and those that have explored the new frontier. Let me help you take that step.
