Introducing the Celebration Line and their ship Bahamas Celebration |
|
|
The new Celebration
Cruise Line is expected to start offering two- and three-night
Bahamas cruises from Port Everglades on Fort Lauderdale today, March
16. The new line is operated by many executives who ran Imperial
Majesty Cruise Line, which is no longer operating. According to the
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Celebration spent $10 million renovating
a 1,500-passenger ship, originally built in 1981 as Prinsesse
Ragnhild and until recently, operated by Color Line. The ship, now
called the Bahamas Celebration, will offer two-night
cruises departing Monday and Wednesday and three-night voyages on
Fridays. Both cruises visit Nassau. The ship also has a
casino, pub, piano bar, karaoke lounge and a two-level nightclub.
Children’s facilities include Club Coconuts for children age 3 to 10
with supervised activities such as arts and crafts, Xbox, Dance
Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero. Club Wave is for 11- to
14-year-olds with activities and games, including Xbox, DDR, Guitar
Hero, PlayStation and Wii. Open Water is designed for teens age 14
to 17 with video games, a dance floor and computers. The pool area
also features a 180-foot water slide. Fares are expected to range
from $119 to $199 per person. |
