Cruise Conference, Part 2


Moonlight Sonata Dining Room on Celebrity Eclipse

Day 3.
Toured Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Eclipse - such a sexy ship! I loved the decor, especially in all the restaurants. Click here for my photos.Visited the trade show in the afternoon before my classes. The Conference Banquet was just OK but the entertainment was pretty good (especially Mosaic).

Day 4.
Went for a nice walk before the tour of Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas. I wasn't sure I'd like this behemoth- currently the largest ship at afloat. It has a zip-line,  a surf machine, a merry-go-round, an ice rink, a rock-climbing wall, etc. It also has a comedy club, a jazz lounge and the Central Park area was really pretty.

Norwegian Breakaway review, inaugural cruise

Sailing on the inaugural cruise of  Norwegian Cruise Line's brand-new ship, the  Norwegian Breakaway was super fun! Here is my review of this mega-ship. Click here for my Slideshow . Everyone will be excited about the top deck features (and with good reason): Aqua Park with 5 multi-story water slides Ropes course with zip line and walk-the-plank experience Bungee Trampoline and Spider Web Climbing Cage Sports Complex with Rock Climbing Wall, Miniature Golf course, Basketball court, etc...         But for me, the most exciting feature of the Norwegian Breakaway was the entertainment. Finally, a cruise ship with some serious nightlife options! Do make reservations online before your cruise.

Regent Cruises, Seven Seas Explorer Ship Review

Regent is my favorite cruise line, and I was finally able to inspect the Seven Seas Explorer while she was docked in Bilbao on May 27, 2019. Launched in 2016 for 750 passengers, this all-balcony-suite ship lives up to the hype (“The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built”). She is gorgeous. The chandeliers, the in-laid marble floor, the zebra carpet... The Culinary Arts Kitchen offers 18 individual cooking stations for hands-on cooking classes at sea. Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Enrichment, Kathryn Kelly designed the curriculum of classes with a destination-focus, catering to all skill levels.

Aerial view of Allure of the Seas The Allure of the Seas made her debut in November 2010 as the largest ship afloat (a fraction of an inch larger than her sister Oasis of the Seas ).  She accommodates about 6,000 passengers in 2,700 staterooms. None of those passengers are complaining about being bored. The first carousel at sea Kids of all ages will jump at the chance to cruise on this leviathan. Little kids will love the Merry-Go-Round, the Dreamworks characters parade, and the H20 Zone kids pool area with sprawling octopus sprinkler. Older kids will like the 3-D movies (featuring Kung Fu Panda 2 this summer), ice skating rink, and 9-hole miniature golf course.
