Dear Vacations To Go Singles Customer,
Before I get into today's edition of our singles newsletter, many of you
asked if we have cruises for singles aged 55 and up. The answer is, yes!
In fact, all trips match that description with the exception of the ages
25-55 listings. In all, over 93% of our singles trips are for any age or
55 and up. We look forward to helping you find the perfect singles
cruise.

On February 19, our singles group set sail on the
Celebrity
Beyond from Fort Lauderdale, FL. We visited St. Maarten, St. Thomas
and Puerto Plata -- a welcomed change of temperature.
Our pre-cruise party at the Marina 84 Sports Bar and Grill had a great
turnout with over 50 people! We enjoyed this great warm-up gathering at
the outdoor bar with tasty cocktails and delicious food.
The next morning, we eagerly boarded the beautiful Celebrity Beyond with
smiles, cheery voices and, most importantly, minimal wait times.
Celebrity really has boarding ironed out! After check-in, we gathered at
the pool bar to say "Bon Voyage" to Fort Lauderdale as we began our
journey to the Eastern Caribbean. There's no feeling that compares to
seeing land drift away and hearing the ship's horn blast.
Our cocktail hour on the first night was filled with laughter and
dancing as we all celebrated the beginning of our voyage.
Terresa
N. from Woodstock, GA helped us get the party started out on the
dance floor!
During our first day at sea, there was a large turnout for our
ice-breaker games.
Peggy L. from Carrolton, TX played host and
used her booming voice to get everyone alert and ready for the
activities. Thanks, Peggy, sometimes we can use the help! Later that
day, we learned the latest line dances with Activities Manager, Kyle.
Lourdes V. from Hialeah, FL was front and center throughout the
class where she kicked and stomped her way through a fun workout.
On our second sea day, we had teams compete to explore the ship and be
the first to capture photos of certain spots or tasks on board to win
best scavenger hunters in our group.
Elizabeth B. from Davis, CA,
Rich P. from Anthem, AZ,
Kathy A. from Bakersfield, CA and
Joleen F. from Algona, IA, were the victors, capturing hilarious
photos while upside down on pool chairs with feet and arms
everywhere.
That afternoon, we enjoyed a pool day where some chose to relax in pool
chairs and others decided to get a water aerobic workout in with the
cruise staff. That evening was officially Mardi Gras and we had a lot of
themed attire!
Cappi C. from Horn Lake, MS dawned his best Mardi
Gras suit.
In St. Maarten, we enjoyed a catamaran to a sunken ship! We had the
option to walk around the bottom and explore in an underwater helmet.
However, most of us decided to snorkel and float in the ocean while
enjoying a refreshing beverage -- we are supposed to relax, right? At
our party that evening, we had a very special guest pop into our party
-- Captain Kate, yes,
the Captain Kate! You may know her from her
viral Instagram stories showcasing her life as a Celebrity captain. She
was a class act and very happy to meet and greet our guests.
Our excursion in St. Thomas took us sightseeing up the side of a
mountain to breathtaking views before ending at a relaxing private beach
resort.
Janet O. from Boynton Beach, FL relaxed in a cabana and
Dawn M. from Buffalo, NY took in the sun's rays while lounging on
the beach. That evening was our captain hat and white party and all of
our group members looked ready to replace Captain Kate. We danced and
sang to Bon Jovi and Journey before heading to dinner where the other
passengers took notice of our group of faux captains.
In Puerto Plata, buses took us sightseeing around town. We stopped to
check out the town square and 19
th century Cathedral of St.
Philip the Apostle. The tour ended at the beach where we were able to
lounge, eat and drink.
Deanna S. from Amarillo, TX and
T.L.
S. from Kitchener, ON enjoyed nachos with a cold beverage while
relaxing in the Dominican sun.
On our last sea day, we divided up and tested feats of knowledge,
agility and coordination in our version of Battle of the Sexes. The
women named the men's team "Runners Up" and the men named the women "Way
Beyond." This competition involved trivia, balloon creativity, a relay
with a banana and an orange, a shrinking towel and a very interesting
way to eat a cookie. The women had a landslide victory -- 30-9. Maybe
next time fellas.
