Greetings, Cruise Fans- As September comes to an end, Pat is wondering if you've given any thought to how you'll spend the holidays this year. There are remarkably good prices available on Thanksgiving and Christmas season cruises this year. These discounted fares are some of the lowest Pat has seen in several years. So what are you waiting for? Oh, an example of these prices! Sure, no problem. How about a 14-night South America & Canal cruise on the Celebrity Infinity for $899 per person in Concierge Class or $699 per person in an ocean- view. You could sail the day after Thanksgiving on the Celebrity Summit's 14-night eastbound Panama Canal cruise for $1649 in a balcony cabin or $1199 in an ocean-view. Also in November, you could take a Royal Caribbean eastern Caribbean 7- night cruise on the Mariner of the Seas for as little as $449, or $599 in an ocean-view. Pat tells me there are similar values for the western Caribbean and the Mexican Riviera. Pat is available to take your calls anytime. Call 1-866- 424-1090 toll-free, email him at cruiseplanners7seascruises@msn.com. You can browse cruises at our website, www.7seascruises. com, too. Just don't believe the prices. Pat can almost always do better. To get you in a cruising mood, here's a little cruise news... Halloween is always a fun and memorable time aboard Carnival Cruise Lines' ships. And with the "Frightfully Fun" promotion, guests sailing with Carnival can enjoy a variety of fun-filled activities, everything from costume contests and Halloween-themed giveaways to scary movies, and, of course, trick or treating, with candies and other goodies from M&M'S®.The " Frightfully Fun" promotion, which is also sponsored by Coca Cola, will be held on all Carnival voyages departing between Oct. 13 and 30, 2007. Guests sailing on Carnival during the period are encouraged to bring their costumes and they can compete for a variety of prizes during the always-interesting costume contest and parade. Carnival crew members will be dressed in costume, as well, and guests can have their photos taken with Carnival' s own " Fun Ship" Freddy. Guests ages one to 14 are also invited to go trick or treating along the ships' promenades and through various public rooms and areas, stocking up on M& M'S® signature candies, including MILKY WAY®, SNICKERS®, SKITTLES®, STARBURST® and TWIX®, all along the way. According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, A senior FBI official said Thursday that cruise lines have reported 207 possible crimes since adopting a new, broader reporting arrangement in April meant to give a more definitive picture of crimes at sea, both in jurisdictions belonging to the FBI and in foreign waters. Princess Cruise Lines has cancelled three scheduled visits to Charlottetown this fall because of construction delays on the city's new Wharf. The Grand Princess was supposed to make three visits to Charlottetown, including one next week and two in October, but the cruise line decided to opt out after assessing the port facilities. With a view to the riches that Israel itineraries offer, more and more international cruise ships have begun docking in the ports of Haifa and Ashdod. Newest in is the elegant Azamara Journey, a 694-passenger deluxe cruise ship and new brand operated by Celebrity Cruises. Its maiden voyage, set to sail the Mediterranean Sea in 2008, will include both Haifa and Ashdod in its Barcelona- Athens route. NCL's next great new ship will be the NCL Norwegian Gem. To get the buzz going, NCL has created a wild new website, www.gemitgirl.com. It' s kind of clever and worth a look. There are ways to win a cruise aboard the Gem and some other interesting prizes. The ship will be the latest in a string of ships that started with the Norwegian Pearl. These ships are pretty remarkable, from their bowling alley lounge to the great casual dining venue up top. Pat has some excellent prices on NCL cruises. Give him a call for more information! When Princess ships start their fall season sailing throughout the Caribbean this month they will introduce 126 new shore excursion options for passengers. These new tours are part of the line's approximately 800 Adventures Ashore in 41 ports during the 2007-08 Caribbean and Panama Canal season. Here are some of the new shore excursions... Dog sleds in the Caribbean?Just say "mush mon." While common on Princess Alaska cruises, dog sledding in Jamaica is an experience unto itself. The very unique Jamaica Dog Sled Team is made up of former street and shelter dogs who now love to race their wheeled sled. Passengers can choose from two excursion options - one where they get to ride on the dogsled and another where they can watch the fun. Both tours allow for time to meet the dogs and reward them with treats. Should you prefer, Ocho Rios now offers camel trekking, too. Quite possibly the only such show in the world, this excursion offers the opportunity to witness Costa Rica's own "crocodile whisperer" in action. Pocho is a 16-foot American crocodile who was shot by poachers, then found and nursed back to health by "Chito," a local fisherman. Today Pocho has bonded with his savior to such an extent that Chito can swim with him, tickle him, make him do rolls, and hand feed him. Passengers will watch this amazing interaction between man and beast from a secure area close to the action. A mud bath like no other, this opportunity is unique in the Caribbean. Cartagena's famous mud volcano is a 50-foot mud cone formed by bubbling mud that resembles a miniature volcano with a crater at the top. Filled with a rich mud offering reputed healing properties, the volcano offers passengers the opportunity for an unusual mud bath, which can be followed by a dip in a nearby freshwater lake to rinse off. Princess' first tour of the low-key island of Anguilla, the new playground of the rich and famous, includes a catamarran excursion and lunch. One of the line's first tours to Mustique, a private island that has long attracted the rich and famous. An island tour will take passengers throughout this limited- access island, including an opportunity to see the homes of many local luminaries, plus a three- course lunch at Basil's restaurant - a scenic local landmark overlooking the Mustique fishing village. Come aboard Princess' newest vessel - the state- of-the-art glass-bottom SeaView Princess is now available on Princess' own private island. This hour-long tour adds a new dimension to a day at Princess Cays, one of Princess passengers' favorite destinations. A new scuba dive excursion also debuts on the island. That's it for this week. Remember to call Pat. Plan something fun for 2008 or finish out 2007 with a spectacular cruise! Prices are excellent right now, so you can enjoy a wonderful week (or less, or more) away and pay less than you thought possible! 1- 866-424-1090 is his toll- free number! Until next week, smooth sailing! Teri |
