Cruise of the Day – October 22, 2013

celebrity-century-top-deckOf the nine cruises scheduled to depart today, October 22, 2013, one of the out-of-the-ordinary choices is a trip from San Diego to Hawaii.  San Diego isn’t an overly popular cruise departure point, with less than ten cruises schedule for most months.  But its position as the southwest-most major city in the continental United States makes it the best choice for a cruise from the mainland to Hawaii.

Today’s cruise is a 15-night cruise from San Diego on Celebrity Century that will provide ocean-side views of all of Hawaii’s major islands.  The ship spends four days at sea getting to and from Hawaii, but that still leaves plenty of time to visit Hilo, the Kilauea Volcano coast, Kailua and Kona, Maui and Honolulu.  The return trip also includes a stop in Ensenada, Mexico.

celebrity-century-concierge-class-roomCelebrity Century is a somewhat small-ish cruise ship (1814 guests) that first sailed in 1995 but has been renovated a couple of times to keep things up-to-date.  The AquaSpa by Elemis is considered one of the nicest spas to be found on a cruise ship.  The Main Restaurant has a lot of traditional cruise ship dining ambience, while the Murano Restaurant offers a more intimate experience for a special evening.  The Martini Bar features a bar topped with ice to keep drinks especially cool.

Staterooms on Century include four classes of suites, four “Veranda Class” rooms, Concierge Class, two Ocean View varieties and two inside staterooms.

Celebrity Century will be making cruises out of other Pacific Coast cities next year – Los Angeles and Vancouver, while cruises from San Diego to Hawaii (17 and 18 nights) will continue to be offered on ms Veendam.

Today’s Cruises – October 4, 2013

There are 14 cruises scheduled for departure on Friday, October 4, 2013, including:

  • Celebrity Solstice is starting an 18-night voyage from Honolulu to Sydney that will include visits to Tahiti, Bora-Bora and New Zealand;
  • Contrary to its name, Costa Atlantica won’t be traveling anywhere near the Atlantic on the 5-day round-trip from Shanghai that begins today;
  • Grand Princess begins a 15-night round-trip cruise from San Francisco to Hawaii today, something it will do 11 more times between now and the end of April 2014.

Looking nine months ahead, there are currently 23 cruise ships scheduled for departures on Friday July 4, 2014, including seven different cruises to Alaska.

Today’s Cruises – September 17, 2013

Tuesday’s are a light day for cruise departures, but there are still 8 cruises leaving port today, including a couple of interesting ones offered by Princess Cruises…

Looking ahead:  Four months from today you could be starting the new year with a real “Cruise of a Lifetime” as the luxury cruise ship Seven Seas Voyager departs from Auckland, New Zealand on a 136-night voyage that hits all the high spots in New Zealand, Australia, China, Vietnam, Thailand, India and the Mediterranean before arriving in Southampton, England.
