I have
had recent opportunity to walk on to Celebration Cruise Line’s ship,
Bahamas Celebration. Originally built as a ferry and operating in
the Baltic, the ship has undergone a major refit for it’s new role
as Port Everglades newest short cruise option - offering 2 and 3
night cruises from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas.
The ship
is in very good form with practically “new” public areas. From the
ample and impressive spa, the sharp and trendy casino and bar to the
4 dining venues, this ship has more to offer than you might think
from a short run product.
At
35,483 GRT
and a double occupancy capacity of 1000 passengers, the Bahamas
Celebration is South Florida’s only year-round mid size ship in the
short cruise market.
Staterooms vary in levels of comfort but there are ample standard
inside and outside cabins that rival the mass market’s product as
well as three levels of suites.
The ship
also offers the unique 2 night, 2 night, 3 night itinerary pattern
with 2 night cruises departing every Monday and Wednesday and a 3
night departing every Friday. The 2 night cruises sail from Fort
Lauderdale to Nassau and the 3 night adds a day at sea. Also unique
in the market is the 7pm departure time from Fort Lauderdale.
I will
be sailing on the vessel next week so please look out for a full
review in regards to food, service, entertainment, etc. I have
taken several photographs of the ship and you can find these at our
website. |
