Greetings, Cruise Fans Welcome to another edition of the 7 Seas Cruise News, brought to you by Pat Crane, proprietor of 7 Seas Cruises and www.7seascruises.com Pat has asked me to extend a special "welcome aboard" to all of our new subscribers! We hope you' ll enjoy this (mostly) weekly update on cruises, cruising and some of my favorite things about ships and ports of call! (That was part of the deal when I agreed to write this weekly newsletter-I'd get to voice my own opinions, not the official cruise commentary, but what I genuinely think about ships, ports, menus, etc.) Pat also asked me to remind all of our dear subscribers that a Pat Crane-7 Seas Cruise price includes all taxes and port charges! The only add- ons will be air and insurance-and only if you request them! And now, some cruise news??¦ One of the most exciting opportunities for big savings right now is an amazing $99 round-trip air add-on when you book an NCL Scandanavian cruise this summer. The NCL 12-day Scandinavian Capitals itineraries feature visits to all of these magical places..... Transit of the Kiel Canal -- unique to NCL Berlin (Warnemunde), Germany Tallinn, Estonia Overnight in St. Petersburg, Russia with optional tour to Moscow Helsinki, Finland Stockholm, Sweden Overnight in Copenhagen, Denmark This is approximately the same cruise that Pat and I took last September-and it is a fantastic opportunity to see a wonderful, friendly, fascinating corner of our world. If you'd like to know more, give Pat a call at 1-866-424- 1090 or drop him an e-mail at cruiseplanners7seascruises@ msn.com I'll be happy to offer my 2-cents worth about any or all of these ports of call! The $99 round-trip air add-on is good for a number of departures in June, July and August. Dates vary depending on the airport, but there is $99 air from Atlanta, Boston, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Detroit, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and St. Louis. Royal Caribbean International altered its Bermuda offerings by picking the 3,114-passenger Voyager of the Seas and the 1,950-passenger Grandeur of the Seas to handle the route next summer. Both ships will alternate five-day Bermuda cruises with nine- day Caribbean voyages between May and November 2005; the Voyager will sail from Royal Caribbean's new port in Bayonne, N.J., while the Grandeur will be based out of Baltimore. Royal Caribbean said the reservation books will open on the 2005 Bermuda cruise season at the end of the month. The deployment marks the first time the Voyager and the Grandeur will visit Bermuda; the Voyager also will become the largest ship to call in Bermuda. The future deployment of the 1,600-passenger Empress of the Seas, which currently handles Royal Caribbean's six- and eight- day Bermuda sailings, has not been released. Royal Caribbean ships will return to Labadee starting this week. Voyager of the Seas will be the first to visit Labadee, on Monday, followed by Mariner of the Seas and Navigator of the Seas, as all three vessels resume their regularly scheduled calls. The company engaged an independent security firm to conduct a full assessment of Labadee and Cap- Haitien, (the nearest large population center) and determined there would be no danger in resuming calls. All three of Princess' 2,600-passenger Grand-class ships will offer Europe cruises in 2005, a 63% capacity increase in the region for Princess and the line's biggest Europe presence to date. The three Grand-class ships -- the Grand Princess, the Golden Princess and the Star Princess, plus the Sea Princess (which will sail with a primarily British- sourced clientele) -- will offer some new itineraries for Princess, including a Western Europe Capitals cruise on the Golden Princess that calls in London; Paris; Brussels; Amsterdam; Berlin; Oslo, Norway; and Copenhagen, Denmark. The Royal Princess, meanwhile, will sail one 14-day cruise from Rome to London before transferring over to the P&O Cruises fleet May 12. Alaska's first lady, Nancy Murkowski, will become the godmother of Princess' newest ship, Sapphire Princess, in a special christening ceremony that will celebrate Princess' long relationship with the state of Alaska as well as the line's significantly expanded presence in the homeport of Seattle. The ceremony, which will take place on June 10, will be the first naming to take place in the Emerald City of Seattle. Thanks to all of you who expressed good wishes for Pat's recovery. He went back to the surgeon and was told he was "healing very well." We hope he's healthy enough to land a big one when he goes deep sea fishing on Saturday with son-in-law #2 in Destin! Next week's newsletter will be a couple of days late because of the Memorial Day holiday. If you're eager to get a price for your summer, fall or winter cruise, call Pat before Friday noon! After that, we're off to the FL panhandle for Memorial Day with daughters 2 and 3, son-in-law 2 and granddaughter 2! Here's wishing you a terrific holiday with your friends and family! Let summer begin! Teri |
