The
Celebrity Millennium,
the first
Celebrity ship to undergo the line's largest fleetwide
modernization to date, has emerged from its 35-day, bow-to-stern
transformation in a Singapore shipyard.
All cabins received a fresh, modern redesign along with Celebrity's
exclusive eXhale bedding with cashmere mattresses. Suite guests now will
enjoy exclusive access to The Retreat, which comprises a private sundeck
with hot tub, cabanas and lounge chairs and a 24-hour lounge with
complimentary beverages, gourmet snacks and live entertainment.
Celebrity upgraded the Millennium's restaurants, bars, lounges and the
spa. Enhancements also were made to the crew's accommodations.
Celebrity is spending more than $500 million and collaborating with more
than 500 architects, engineers and designers on its "Celebrity
Revolution," which was inspired by its newest ships, the
Celebrity Edge
and Galapagos explorer
Celebrity Flora,
which debuts in May.
Attention Singles! I'm pleased to announce that we've just added
five
2020 sailings to our lineup of
hosted singles cruises.
Travel in style as part of a casual, fun-loving group on trips that are
filled with mixers, games, single-mingle dining and group shore
excursions.
If you haven't yet tried one of our hosted singles cruises, consider
joining us this year on our
five-night Mexican Riviera cruise
on September 29, when the
Royal Princess sails round trip from
Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas. Rates start at just
$599 per
person, with deposits as low as $51 per person.
Finally, there's still space available on these upcoming weeklong
trips:
The
Caribbean Princess departs from Fort Lauderdale on our
April 6 Caribbean cruise
to Princess Cays (the line's private beach retreat), St. Thomas and St.
Maarten.
Join us on Royal Caribbean's
Rhapsody of the Seas for a
May 25 Mediterranean/Greek Isles cruise
from Venice to gems like Kotor, Corfu and Mykonos.
Board the
Star Princess in Seattle for our
July 28 Alaska cruise
to Ketchikan, Juneau and more.
Note: Single travelers who can't take advantage of one of our hosted
singles cruises should still check out our exclusive list of low (and
no) single-supplement cruise departures by

MSC has introduced Zoe, a virtual personal cruise assistant. Zoe
uses voice-enabled artificial intelligence technology, like Alexa and
Siri, and will be installed in staterooms to answer questions about the
cruise and onboard services. Guests say "OK, Zoe" to turn on the device,
which speaks seven languages and is programmed to answer more than 800
of the most commonly asked questions, with thousands of different
variants for each query.
You'll find Zoe on the new
MSC Bellissima,
which debuts next month, and on new MSC ships that follow.
To protect from financial loss in the event of an emergency, Vacations
To Go strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance with every
cruise. Cruise lines impose penalties for canceling or changing a
reservation, up to and including loss of the entire cruise price. Cruise
lines are very strict about their cancellation policies and do not make
exceptions, even under extreme
circumstances.
It also is possible for illness or injury to occur during a cruise,
resulting in medical bills from the ship's infirmary and/or the early
termination of the trip. Most traditional health insurance policies do
not cover cruise passengers traveling abroad.
The Go Plan offered by our preferred independent insurance provider,
Generali Global Assistance (formerly CSA Travel Protection),
covers you for trip cancellation and trip interruption due to a variety
of reasons, such as a covered illness, an injury, the death of you or a
family member or a traveling companion, delayed flights due to inclement
weather and the documented theft of passports or visas.
When you are ready to book a cruise, our cruise counselors will explain
the insurance options that are available for your trip and answer any
questions you may have.
