Luxury Cruising

Why do people select to go on cruises, instead of booking a plane flight? One thing that attracts men and women to these huge boats and cruises is the food. Not only does a cruise offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, they also supply midnight buffets, afternoon snack buffets, ice cream bars and 24-hour room service! There is a veritable open bar on food. You can eat casually or formally. You can have a large meal or a tiny meal. You can eat with hundreds of men and women or privately. Keep in mind, of course, that the good quality of the cruise line determines the good quality of the food. Also bear in mind that several of the cruise ships are feeding approximately 2000 people 10 meals per day!

A cruise provides every thing you could possibly want from a getaway: entertainment, relaxation, wonderful food, and variety. Next time, don’t overlook that great big boat out in the harbor.

Having just returned from our initial Celebrity Cruise aboard the Celebrity Century and I wanted to post a Celebrity Century review that hopefully others can benefit from it.

Some background on our cruising experience. This is our 6th cruise we have taken in the last 20 years so by no means are we what you would call specialists. Nor would you call us rookies either. In the past 20 years we have cruised with Royal Caribbean, Disney, Carnival and Holland (twice). We have been also fortunate enough to attain a financial level where the last 3 cruises have been at the Suite level.

We booked the Celebrity Century out of Miami Florida, as we wanted to take a New Years Eve Cruise. A word of caution if you are searching to take a cruise over any New Year you will want to book very early. For example, the 1st week of October there were many options on many cruise lines. In the second week of October most all of these options we gone.
