COME CRUISING for our 18th Annual Winter Cruise with an all-new opportunity, great rates and group perks! For our first time ever (and for a MUCH more elevated experience than we're accustomed to on Carnival), weâll be cruising CELEBRITY on their stellar Silhouette ship. With 85% of its staterooms featuring balconies with amazing views, this ship also features the open-air Lawn Club (with real grass, grills and sports), a luxurious spa, lively casino, exclusive âeXhaleâ bedding in each stateroom (with our own cushy bathrobes), the i-Lounge (for complementary access to Apple devices, printers, Apple tech classes and products for sale), tennis, pickleball, bowling, mini-golf, basketball, and even an ICE SKATING RINK! With a dozen restaurant options and almost as many bars/lounges, youâll never go hungry or thirsty!
Onboard-fun classes include Mixology 101, Martini Flight Tastings, a Food & Wine Pairing Workshop, Jack Danielâs Tasting Class, a World Wine Tour, and more. Live entertainment daily includes bands and music throughout the ship, specialty acts with aerial and circus-style performers, a pop-art light and music concert, Quasar Nightclub for dancing the night away, the adults-only Solarium pool deck with sparkling waterfalls and the best ocean views, and quiet, classy spaces as well to just relax and converse.

Now for the exciting details:
⢠This 7-day/6-night cruise departs SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1st and returns SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7th. Although rates can vary depending on how long you wait to book, RIGHT NOW we can get Interior Cabins for just $600, Oceanviews for $873 and Balconies for $1055 (all per person, based on double occupancy; call Joshua** below for single cabin rates). These rates can vary if you choose specific cabin locations, but for most of us, we donât care where they put us, as we spend very little time in the room. SEE OUR FABULOUS ITINERARY AT BOTTOM taking us to Key West (aka âParty Centralâ), Grand Cayman, and a loooong stop in Cozumel, Mexico, where we can actually enjoy some nightlife, as we donât have to be back onboard until 9pm!
⢠These SPECIAL GROUP RATES also get us A CUSTOM-RESERVED DINING TIME of 7:45pm (rather than the 2 set choices of 6pm or 8:30pm), a ONE-HOUR COCKTAIL PARTY WITH HORS dâOEUVRES, plus a BOTTLE OF WINE in each cabin! To be included in our dining tables and these other group perks, it is ESSENTIAL you book through our stellar Vacations-To-Go cruise rep **Joshua Wright at 800-514-9986. Wait for the prompt, then enter extension 7308. (Reference our important Group Number: 7122091.) Joshua is great at returning calls ASAP M-F 8-5 CST. Here is our special GROUP WEB LINK with trip details and also showing who has booked! https://secure.vacationstogo.com/group/index.cfm?u=B95A1D2F-9EF7-2E31-A3F7BCFB7C7DE31E
⢠Like last year, most of us will fly in a day earlier to relax in Fort Lauderdale, and be super close to the Port, so we can be among the first to board. Therefore I will SOON be posting the best hotel for us for Saturday, January 31st. If you are with me, I will arrange and offer transfers from the airport to hotel, hotel to port, and port back to the airport on February 7. For NOW, JUST BOOK THE CRUISE TO LOCK IN THESE RATES, as they WILL go up! [Note: If you have hotel suggestions, give me a call.]
⢠I will suggest NONSTOP FLIGHTS for us (from OâHare to either Ft. Lauderdale or Miami, depending on rates and times), but typically booking this early in the game costs more. The cruise is 9 months away, so I will check often and notify everyone with the best deal once it happens.
⢠As always, I can try to match you up with a good roommate if you call me at 847-971-7895.
Youâll also be invited to a fun Meet-and-Greet here at home a few weeks before we leave, to meet your fellow travelers, learn important cruising and packing tips, explore day excursions and much more!
This is the best deal I think we've ever had, especially on a ship of this caliber. Don't miss the boat...come sail away with us!
