Preview: RCI Genesis Class

The announcement of Royal Caribbean’s new Genesis class of ships has caused many to speculate “what will they come up with this time?” Rock climbing walls, an ice skating rink, surfing and a boxing ring were all cutting edge features of their Freedom class ship. So what’s in store? Royal Caribbean gives us a preview!
In its latest evolution in cruise ship design, Royal Caribbean International's Project Genesis will bring the best of the land to sea with Central Park, a revolutionary design in which the center of the ship opens to the sky and features lush, tropical grounds spanning the length of a football field. An exquisite public gathering place featuring serene pathways, seasonal flower gardens and canopy trees, Central Park will provide cruisers with more choices in a unique outdoor space. The area will be lined with balcony staterooms and restaurants. Dining options will include elegant dinner at the new 150 Central Park or a picnic lunch from the more casual Central Park Café, where they can sit outdoors and people-watch. Other dining choices will include: Giovanni's Table, an Italian restaurant; Vintages wine bar; and Royal Caribbean's signature Chops Grille steakhouse. Several bars will be scattered throughout the Park, including the Canopy Bar, located at one of two impressive glass-domed canopies, and the unique Rising Tide bar - the first moving bar at sea. Truly an engineering feat, Rising Tide will span three decks and allow cruisers to enjoy a cocktail as they slowly ascend into Central Park and then descend back into the public spaces below. Central Park also will have stylish boutique shops, showcasing a selection of upscale merchandise.

Spring Preview

Hey cruisers! Coming soon is a brand new destinations section on all your favorite caribbean ports! Here's a preview of what you can expect. Enjoy!

Ocho Rios once relied on fishing and banana boats to fuel its economy. But now it is the daily arrival of cruise ship passengers and the all-inclusive hotels that keep the coffers full all along the northeast coast of Jamaica. Although Kingston is the capital and the largest city in Jamaica, cruise ships no longer call there and hence it doesn't attract the visitors that Ocho Rios does. There is plenty to see and do in between bathing and sun-worshipping on the magnificent beaches. Climbing up waterfalls, horseback riding through sugar cane plantations, or taking afternoon tea at the former home of British playwright/songwriter, Noel Coward are just a few diversions that await.
Ocho Rios is home to many exciting attractions. Reggae lovers can visit the Bob Marley Mausoleum, the famed singer/songwriters grave site. Adventure seekers can climb the world famous Dunn’s River Falls. The waterfall cascades down 600ft (183m) forming cool pools among slippery rocks, and a favorite tourist pursuit is to clamber to the top of the falls with a guide, and enjoying being splashed by cold, clear mountain water en route. There’s a restaurant on the beach below to rejuvenate weary climbers.

Another big draw is Jamaica’s most prominent natural attraction, the caves on the island’s north coast, between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. Just a few kilometers from Discovery Bay and Runaway Bay, the huge labyrinthine limestone major cave located here is 5,003ft (1,525m) long and characterized by stalactites, stalagmites, overhead ceiling pockets, numerous chambers, light holes, and a deep subterranean lake.

Increased Security at Port Canaveral

Sailing out of Port Canaveral this year? Due to the higher security measures at this port, you may want to leave extra time for boarding. The Transportation Security Administration has announced that they plan to increase the screening at the port. As reported in the Orlando Sentinel, TSA has assembled a team of security specialists from federal and local agencies who will be randomly deployed at the port to more heavily screen passengers and their bags.
"One day we might have on-site an expert on fraudulent documents and another expert on behavior," a TSA official told the paper. "The next, we might have none or we might have 10 other experts. The idea is to keep things random and unpredictable."
Currently, Port Canaveral is the third busiest cruise port in the US. These security measures may translate into longer check-in lines at the port, so plan accordingly

New in Luxury

Here’s some news for those of you who enjoy sailing the seven seas on the smaller luxury cruise lines. Silversea’s has announced that it’s first all suite ship will be named the Silver Spirit. Currently under construction, the ship will hold 540 guests and is scheduled to make her appearance in 2009.
Silversea’s has also announced some enhancements to this ship that are not featured in the current fleet. There will now be a supper club, an Asian-themed restaurant and an extended spa. And let’s not forget all 260 ocean view suites as well as their popular Silver Suites, Verandas, Grand and Owner’s suites.
Looks like an exciting addition to Silversea’s already well known and praised fleet of luxury liners!

Europe All Year Long

Looks like NCL has found a place for their recently homeless Pride of Hawaii. In a press release they have anncounced the following:

NCL Corp. will, for the first time in the company's 41-year history, deploy a ship year-round in Europe. The 2,400-passenger Norwegian Jade (formerly the Pride of Hawaii) will sail a variety of itineraries in Europe year-round, extending its inaugural season in Europe that begins on March 30. The ship will now remain in Europe full time through to the spring of 2010 instead of the current seasonal deployment that was to end in November. As part of this year-round deployment, NCL is introducing three new itineraries all roundtrip from Barcelona -- 12-day Eastern Mediterranean sailings, nine-day Canary Islands and Morocco sailings, and a 14-day Eastern Mediterranean holiday cruise. "We've seen strong growth in Europe and Freestyle Cruising has been a big success with our European guests," said Colin Veitch, NCL's president and CEO. "Norwegian Jade has been very well received in her first season, and our full three-ship fleet in Europe is doing so well that we are now confident in committing a ship year-round to this strongly growing market."Norwegian Jade's new European sailings from November through April 2009 go on sale March 3. The balance of the new deployment through to spring 2010 will be opened for sale shortly thereafter. Norwegian Jade's new 12-day Eastern Mediterranean cruise includes stops in Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy; Athens (Piraeus), Greece; Ephesus (Izmir), Turkey; an overnight in Alexandria, Egypt; and Valletta, Malta. Highlights of the nine-day Canary Islands and Morocco itinerary include five ports of call: Casablanca and Agadir, Morocco; Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands; Funchal, Madeira; and Granada (Málaga), Spain.

Looks like they have a solid plan going. And it might be nice to travel to europe in the off-season and miss all the crowds that europe's summer is known for.

Romance on the High Seas!

Keeping that spark in a relationship can be an uphill battle, and for the chronically single… romance can be the last thing on your mind. Taking a romantic cruise can be just the jolt needed to bring a wave of romance back into your life. So, whether you’re simply single or hopelessly unromantic, there is hope for a romance filled vacation!

Forget the Flowers
A well planned romantic cruise can help rejuvenate the romance in a relationship and give you a chance to unwind, if not just for an evening. There is a wide array of cruising options for those seeking that romantic spark. Try a one-night dinner cruise, which can be a less expensive but a unique way to celebrate that special night. For those who want a bit more bang for their buck, consider a romantic weekend getaway to the Caribbean. Singles that want to escape the barrage of friends discussing their Valentine’s plans should consider a singles cruise. Not only will it make you the envy of your friends, but the cruise could have a potentially lasting effect on your romantic life.

Think Outside the Chocolate Box
With all the activities available on the cruise ship, the chocolate box will seem passé. Luxurious spa treatments for two, dancing the night away after a formal dinner, or cuddling up on your own private balcony while the sun sets in the horizon… these are just a sampling of what luxurious romance could await on a romantic cruise. This paired with the ability to call in room service for champagne and chocolate covered strawberries… well there’s just no comparison.

So what are you waiting for, romance is just around the corner? Surprise that special someone in your life with a romantic cruise, or treat yourself to a getaway singles cruise. At CruiseJungle.com, we don’t sell cruises, but are committed to providing information to help people in planning a cruise.

Top 10 Dumbest Cruise Questions

After spending 30 years in the cruise biz and taking almost 200 cruises, I have been privy to virtually every strange question that has been asked by a passenger. Some of these I have heard myself and some passed along by my cruise director friends. I have picked my favorite ones. Remember, these questions were asked by real passengers who were already on the ship. Also immediately following is the smart a** answer that the crew would like to give (but don’t, they just smile and nod). Enjoy.

Q. Does the crew sleep on board?
A. Of course not, late at night a water taxi picks them up and takes them home!

Q. Do these stairs go up OR down?
A. Yes!

Q. Does the ship make it’s own electricity?
A. No, don’t you see the long extension cord trailing behind the ship?

Q. Which is the sunny side of the ship?
A. The captain spins the ship around daily so everyone gets an even tan

Q. Which elevator takes me to the front of the ship?
A. Ask the elevator operator when you get on, he will take you anywhere you want to go.

Q. What do you do with the ice carvings after they melt?
A. We re-freeze the water and use it for frozen drinks.

Q. What time is the midnight buffet?
A. Usually around 11 PM or so. We tried doing it right after breakfast but most people weren’t real hungry.

Q. How do we know which pictures are ours?
A. The people who look totally clueless . . . . those are probably yours.

Q. Is this island totally surrounded by water?
A. No, part of it is surrounded by sand, but it’s all clearly marked.

It's Raining Ships in April

England will be filled with cruise aficionados this April as three new ships hold their celebrated naming ceremonies.

First up is MSC Cruises, holding their ceremony on April 5 in Dover when Sophia Loren steps up to christen MSC Poesia, the company’s fifth new ship - all of which have been named by the Italian diva.

Eleven days later the focus of attention moves to Southampton where P&O Cruises’ Ventura, the largest cruise ship ever designed for the British market, will be named by Dame Helen Mirren on the evening of the 16th.

Finishing out the season is Royal Caribbean International with their inaugural celebrations for Independence of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship, before she begins her first season ex-Southampton. The godmother for the April 30 launch has not been disclosed. Many guests invited to the ceremony will have a chance to stay on board for two nights providing the opportunity to spend the rest of the next day and night sampling the FlowRider surf simulator, ice skating, the rock climbing wall plus the shops, restaurants and bars of the Royal Promenade, dinner and evening entertainment.

Hope my invitation is in the mail!

Some Fun Cruise Facts

Hello my friends,

In my continuing research into the cruise industry I often come across some fun facts that I thought I would share with you all today. Enjoy!


On a three-day Disney Wonder cruise, 6,525 pool towels will be used and washed, enough to handle every athlete of every participating country's Olympic swimming team.

Freedom of the Seas has enough staterooms to host all, and I mean all, NFL, MLB and NBA players and coaches in one single sailing.

The average expenditure for the mass market cruise line on food is under $7.00 a day per passenger

What does it take to stock one of the world's largest cruise ships? From place settings in the restaurants to supplies in the staterooms to provisions in the kitchen, these are just some of the items needed for Grand Princess' passengers and crew:

96,396 pieces of glassware
51,612 pieces of silver-plated flatware
13,200 bath towels
8,640 boxes of facial tissue
23,000 bed sheets
59,300 wooden coat hangers
18,000 rolls of toilet paper

A year in an “assisted-living facility” costs Americans, on average, around $28,500 a year. In large cities such as Chicago, costs are even higher, topping $40,000. Living in a dedicated cabin aboard the Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas, on the other hand, rings in at a rather competitive $33,260 a year.

The average passenger spends $220 per day onboard the ship.

Morgan Robertson’s “The Wreck of the Titan,” is an unusual novel describing the doomed voyage of the luxury liner Titan, the largest and most glamorous liner ever constructed. Carrying the wealthy and prominent of her time on her April maiden voyage between Southampton and New York, she set out to break a nautical speed record. In the middle of the night, the Titan struck an iceberg and sank, killing most of the passengers as a result of an insufficient number of life boats. “The Wreck of the Titan” was published in 1898, fourteen years before the Titanic sank!

Saying Aloha

Aloha means both hello and goodbye but this is a case of goodbye. NCL Corp. is withdrawing Pride of Aloha from the Hawaii market effective May 11, and will transfer the ship to sister company Star Cruises for reflagging and redeployment in Asia this summer. At the same time, the company confirmed itineraries through 2010 on its remaining U.S.-flag ship, Pride of America. That vessel will sail every Saturday from Honolulu.
Now the Honolulu Star-Bulletin reports that NCL might pull its last ship out of Hawaii if federal rules governing cruise lines aren't changed in its favor. And for good reason. Should the laws change in NCL’s favor competitors, such as foreign flagged Princess and Holland America, would be unable to include the Hawaiian Islands on their itineraries.
Looks like rough waters in Hawaii. We’ll keep you posted on any updates!

Now That’s a Cruise

If you have an extra $200,000 or so lying around, why not book a cabin on one of the most expensive cruises in history. The 108-day Inaugural World Voyage on the Seabourn Odyssey starts at $107,490 per person -- or nearly $215,000 per cabin. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The top cabins on the trip cost around $1 million. The epic voyage, which will begin in Ft. Lauderdale on Jan. 5, 2010, is the line's first around-the-world cruise.
Where in the world does this massively expensive cruise take you? Everywhere! Destinations for this ship include: Guatemala, Hawaii, Tahiti, Bora Bora, the Cook Islands, Australia, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore, India, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Greece. Would you book a cruise for 108 days? Let us know what you think!

Super Savings for Spring

Thinking about booking your next cruise? Well this is the time to take advantage of the considerable discounts that many cruise lines are offering. Non profit organization, Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), has issued a press release detailing the onboard credits and savings that you can receive by booking your cruise in the next few weeks. For the month of February, many member lines of CLIA are offering special rates, onboard credits, deposit waivers or other incentives designed to stimulate record cruise sales for 2008. This year's Wave Season offers a range from savings of more than 50 percent of cruise prices to onboard credits worth hundreds of dollars, stateroom upgrades and other perks. Here's a sampling of offers (unless otherwise noted, offers extend through February 29). For the full list of discounts available, please visit www.cruising.org


Carnival Cruise Lines: Special rates of $249 to $339 per person on select departure dates for three- to five-day voyages on Carnival Imagination and Carnival Inspiration, both with new Serenity adults-only decks and Carnival Waterworks aqua parks.

Celebrity Cruises: Onboard credits of $50 to $200 per stateroom, based on the length of voyage, on cruises in Alaska, the Caribbean and Europe.

Royal Caribbean International: Onboard credits of up to $200 per stateroom on select Alaska sailings/tours for 2008.

It's About Time

Seems like a cruise line has finally listened to cruisers complaints. Princess Cruise Line has updated its disembarkation process to allow a more efficient and streamlined process. Moving away from instructing passengers to listen to announcements for their luggage tag color to be called, Princess is now assigning a time and place to assemble on the final morning. Passengers are then escorted to the gangway by a staff member, eliminating the guesswork as to the actual time passengers will disembark.
Passengers now receive a letter the day before the end of the cruise that outlines their designated time to meet in an assigned public room, depending on their return air arrangements. This allows them to sleep in a little longer and enjoy a more relaxed breakfast. The program is being rolled out fleetwide and has received some great feedback already.
Hint for the rest of the industry: Jump on the bandwagon!

Crystal Gets Physical

Luxury cruise line, Crystal, has begun to offer new shore excursions for their European itineraries that cater toward cruisers who pursue more active endeavors. From May through November the award-winning Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony will offer guests 28 unique voyages showcasing the best-loved cities of Europe and the Mediterranean, now with an expanded roster of Crystal Adventures shore excursions that allow guests to live the experience in a dynamic new way.
This is different take on the typical shore excursions offered in Europe and the Mediterranean. Steering away from the general walking and bus tours of museums, historic sites and shopping tours, Crystal will offer bicycling in Barcelona, cliff climbing in Croatia, and a self-driven off-road Jeep adventure in Mykonos, among many others. According to John Stoll, Crystal’s director of land programs, “Our new outdoor Crystal Adventures offer more rugged encounters unique to each destination -- in some of Europe’s most spectacular settings.”
Many cruise lines have begun to expand their shore excursion programs to include “off the beaten path” destinations and activities. Time will tell if cruise passengers embrace these new options or if the tried and true selections will prevail.

Dancing like the stars

Royal Caribbean is featuring a unique opportunity on their Explorer of the Seas! They’ve teamed up with two time champion Cheryl Burke of the TV show Dancing with the Stars and Louis van Amstel, the Emmy-nominated choreographer for the ABC-TV show to bring guests an all new, interactive dancing competition. Guests can now compete in popular ballroom dance styles and mambo their way to the spotlight in “Invitation to Dance”, RCI’s newest production show featuring guests as the stars.
With the guidance of professional dancers, stylists and make-up artists, guests may just realize their true calling while on vacation. Guests are chosen during an evening of ballroom dancing at the beginning of each cruise, and four couples are selected to participate in the “Invitation to Dance” production show later that week. The finalists will then work with Royal Caribbean’s professional ballroom instructors to learn slick dance moves, attend costume fittings, and receive star treatment in preparation for their Royal Caribbean stage debut.
“Invitation to Dance’ is another example of Royal Caribbean’s dynamic and innovative approach to offering engaging entertainment and activities for our guests,” said Peter Compton, vice president, Entertainment and Guest Activities, Royal Caribbean International. “With all the excitement surrounding competitive dancing on television, we are now challenging our guests to live out a dream while enjoying their cruise vacation.”

IMPORTANT TRAVEL BULLETIN

The U.S. Government has updated the travel requirements for cruise travel. Effective February 18, 2008, all passengers must board the cruise ship one hour prior to departure. Cruise ships departing from U.S. ports are now required to provide full passenger and crew manifests to the government authorities 60 minutes prior to the ship's scheduled departure.

If you will be cruising in the future here are some travel tips to ensure your cruise leaves on time and with you onboard!
· Submit your full passenger information as soon as possible but, at the minimum, prior to arriving at the pier. Many cruise lines now offer online check-in that customers are urged to participate in.
· Leave plenty of time in your travel schedule to get to the cruise terminal. If you are flying into the port city, it is suggested you arrive the day before to avoid in-transit delays. Each cruise line may have different final boarding times so check your cruise documents thoroughly when making travel arrangements.
· Make sure you bring the appropriate proof of citizenship documents with you to the port. Do not pack them in your luggage! At this time, cruisers are required to have a government issued ID, typically a drivers license and proof of citizenship including:
o Passport
o Original or certified copy of birth certificate*
o Naturalization papers
o For more information please visit: http://www.dhs.gov/xtrvlsec/crossingborders/whtibasics.shtm#3
Cruise passengers on international cruises who do not have proper identification will not be allowed to board their ship after January 31, 2008.

*Please note that Photocopies that do not have an original raised seal are not acceptable and may result in denied boarding.
