Subject: 7 Seas Cruise News - May17, 2004



Ahoy, and welcome to another edition of the 7 Seas
Cruise News, brought to you by Pat Crane-the world'
s greatest cruise discounter. Of course, I have to
say that, but will too, once you get a genuine Pat
Crane discount cruise price!

Pat is recovering from some minor surgery and doing
very well. But let the phone ring a few extra times,
because he's not moving too fast. Right now, along
with recovering, he is thinking about summer
vacations-yours, not his.

Here are a couple of attractive possibilities you
might consider. If an Eastern Caribbean 7-day
cruise sounds good, how about the lovely Celebrity
Century? Sail June 26 and the price is only $850
per person, double occupancy in a nice inside cabin.
If a 7-night Western Caribbean sounds better, sail
on June 26 aboard the Carnival Triumph, only $833
per person, double occupancy, or there's the
Carnival Inspiration with a nice 7-day Western
Caribbean cruise from Tampa, sailing on June 27,
for as little as $753 per person, double occupancy.
AND EACH OF THESE PRICES INCLUDED ALL TAXES AND
PROT CHARGES!

Woo-Hoo! Let's go on vacation!  Call Pat about
these options or the trip you've been dreaming
about. Phone him, toll-free, at 1-866-424-1090,
write him an e-mail at cruiseplanners7seascruises@
msn.com or just visit www.7seascruises.com to check
out the possibilities!  Pat is available 7 days a
week, morning until 9 p.m. or so. Now and then, he
takes off for the post office or we go out to eat,
but otherwise, he is standing by-at your service!

And now, some news??¦

Royal Caribbean International's elegant Grandeur Of
The Seas arrived in the Port of Baltimore. The
cruise line's first ship to sail from Maryland's
scenic and historic port, Grandeur Of The Seas will
offer a series of Caribbean, Bahamas/Orlando and
Canada/New England cruises until Oct. 25, 2004. The
1,950-passenger Grandeur Of The Seas features the
graceful profile and open design that makes her a
sightseer's dream. Glass is used to dramatic effect,
opening interior spaces to the sea and sky. The
sunny, plant-filled Solarium features a swimming
pool below a retractable glass canopy. The circular,
glass-enclosed Observatory on Deck 10 is ideal for
evening stargazing. Higher still, on Grandeur's
uppermost Deck 11, Royal Caribbean's signature
Viking Crown Lounge offers spectacular, panoramic
views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Grandeur
begins her Baltimore sailings with a month of nine-,
10- and 11-night roundtrip Caribbean adventures.
The cruises take guests to a range of exotic ports
of call, varying by itinerary, including Port
Canaveral and Key West, Florida; Philipsburg, St.
Maarten; St. Thomas, U.S.V.I; Oranjestad, Aruba;
San Juan, Puerto Rico; Freeport, Grand Bahama
Island; Cozumel, Mexico; and Belize City, Belize.
Starting June 20, Grandeur will sail a weekly
Bahamas/Orlando itinerary stopping at Port
Canaveral and Key West, Florida; Freeport, Grand
Bahama Island; and CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's
private island paradise in the Bahamas Berry Island
chain. Grandeur Of The Seas will conclude her time
in Baltimore by alternating a 10-night Caribbean
escape with an 11-night Canada/New England cruise,
visiting the picturesque ports of Bar Harbor and
Portland, Maine; Saint John, New Brunswick; Halifax,
Nova Scotia; and Quebec City, Quebec. In November,
Grandeur repositions to New Orleans for the winter
where she will sail seven-night Western Caribbean
itineraries, including several special holiday
sailings, through spring 2005. Grandeur Of The Seas
will return to Baltimore in May 2005 to offer two
exciting new itineraries. Grandeur will sail
alternating nine-night Caribbean and five-night
Bermuda cruises through November 2005. The nine-
night Caribbean cruises will call in Key West and
Port Canaveral, Florida; Cozumel, Mexico; Freeport,
Grand Bahama Island; and CocoCay. The exciting new
five-night Bermuda itineraries will provide guests
two full days and an overnight to experience the
abundant beauty and charm of the Island. Grandeur
will dock amid the majesty and history of the Royal
Naval Dockyard (King's Wharf), the perfect gateway
from which to explore Bermuda.

Carnival Jubilee's summer cruise program from
Jacksonville is underway through Aug. 26, 2004, and
provides consumers with an exciting and value-
packed summer vacation option. Four-day cruises
depart on Thursdays to Freeport and Nassau, The
Bahamas, and return on Mondays, creating the ideal
long weekend getaway. Five-day voyages depart
Mondays and Saturdays and feature Nassau and Key
West, Fla. Following the Jubilee's summer program,
the 1,486-passenger Celebration will assume the
Jubilee's four- and five-day itineraries and launch
Jacksonville's first year-round sailings beginning
Oct. 12, 2004.  

Carnival now declares that the entire fleet will
offer low-carb options as of June. Along with low-
carbohydrate bread, you can find low carb appetizer
selections like Vine Ripe Beefsteak Tomatoes and
Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella - Marinated with Basil
Leaves and Virgin Olive Oil -3 grams of carbs;
Hickory Smoked Alaskan Salmon - Garnished with
Purple Onion Rings, Fresh Dill and Baby Capers - 2
grams of carbs; Escargots Bourguignonne - Burgundy
Snails in Garlic Butter with an Infusion of Chablis
and Pernod - 5 grams of carbs; Gravlaks - Thinly
Sliced Norwegian Fjord Salmon Cured with Dill and
Brandy Presented with a Sour Cream Mustard Sauce -
5 grams of carbs. Low carb entr?©e selections
include: Filet Mignon with Gorgonzola Butter - Aged
Center-Cut Beef Tenderloin, Grilled to Perfection
with Green Beans - 8 grams of carbs; Pepper-Seared
Supreme of Young Long Island Duckling - Marsala
Infused Purple Onion Confit, Steamed Bok Choy and
Sauteed Spinach - 6 grams of carbs; Tender Roasted
Prime Rib of American Beef au Jus, Cooked to
Perfection - Broccoli Roses and Grilled Tomato - 4
grams of carbs; Jerked Pork Loin - Slowly Roasted
Center Cut Pork Loin, Marinated in Island Spices
and Herbs Sauteed Savoy Cabbage with Bacon - 6
grams of carbs.  For those faithfully following
Atkins, South Beach or The Zone, this is great news!
Yes, I know this anti-carb business has taken a
toll on Krispy Kreme, but as for the South Beach
thing, hey, it works! I lost 6 pounds in my first
week.

And on that positive note, I'll scurry on out
of here. After a long weekend in Orlando
introducing daughter #3 to Mickey Mouse (amazing,
huh? First visit at 26!?), we are early-to-bed
tonight!

Until next week, smooth sailing??¦ Teri
