We are an active, middle-aged couple who love to dance (waltz, swing,
rhumba, tango, etc). On five Princess cruises we have always found
several lounges each evening that featured good dance music. We'd like
to try Celebrity, having heard good things about food and service. But
we want to be able to dance (not the loud disco/techno that seems to
appeal to younger people). Can anyone offer comments on the
availability of dancing on Celebrity and on what ships? Thanks, Helen

[Default] Thus spake Dapper Dave gmail.com>:

Remember, Alaska cruises are not typical for either Princess or
Celebrity. Or any of the others. Compare the two on, say, a winter
Southern Caribbean.

Has anyone sailed these two (2) ships/lines who can advise which would
be a better choice? I Am sure the service is unparalleled for both,
yet not sure which would be a good choice. RSSC is more formal, as I
understand it, than WS. What about value for fare received? Would
enjoy the PH on RSSC and not sure what WS has available. Not finding
pricing for WS, so I await for them to e-mail me rates and
availability.

Thanks for your input...

There are lots and lots of cruises in August. But are you more
interested in Bermuda or the Caribbean part? Because there are money
cruises to Bermuda ranging from 5 to 7 days and from various ports all
along the eastern US coast, but not very many that combine it with the
Caribbean and not many as long as 9 days.

One that does is Caribbean Princess
Sailing Date(s): August 4, 13, 2009
Ports of Call: Departs From Brooklyn, New York visiting Royal Naval
Dockyard, West End, Bermuda; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Charlotte Amalie,
St. Thomas; Grand Turk Island

Does anyone know anything about an Agency called "The Travel Guy" out of
Palm City, Fla? Want to book something but no nothing about this
agency. Thanks

It's not a function of hurricane season. Ships move (as opposed to
hotels)... so they can avoid hurricanes, even if (as Number6 said) they take
you to an alternate itinerary - they are not going to take a $600 million
ship with 4000 people into a hurricane. If a hurricane is heading toward
Bermuda, they might just go to the Caribbean. They'll have a lot of
options, since they can move around.

There use to be a number of ships that sailed from NYC to Bermuda. Over the
years the smaller ships that did the run were replaced by larger ships that
don't fit into the tight channels to get into...

Hi Everyone,

I received this press release from T.Mariotti and thought it would be
of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are
available on my web site.

There are many cruises offered in August ... check out a website like
7blueseas or vacationstogo where you can search easily just by month
and location ...
Be prepared though that it is possible your Bermuda/Caribbean cruise
may become a Canadian cruise if a hurricane prevents you original
itinerary from being sailed safely ...

Never cruised before.
I'm a Brit looking to book a Royal Caribbean cruise for August 2009.
It's the "9 Night Bermuda And Caribbean Cruise" itinerary we're looking
at.
No other operator seem to offer sailings in August? Is this due to the
chances of a hurricane occuring?
