BAHAMAS CELEBRATION "Official" on March 16
March 11: Newly launched Celebration Cruise Line will begin marketing its recently refitted MV BAHAMAS CELEBRATION (ex PRINSESSE RAGNHILD) on two and three night sailings from Fort Lauderdale to Nassau with departures every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The 1,500 passenger ship has four restaurants, a 630 seat nightclub, multiple lounges, a spacious casino, spa, fitness room, three children's clubs with activities and games for all ages, an adult pool and a children's pirate-themed pool with a 180 foot slide. Multiple choice anytime dining is provided at the following venues: an American restaurant with five-course meals from a broad menu, an all-you-can-eat Brazilian-style steakhouse and buffet and a casual Italian restaurant, all included in the cruise price. An ala carte extra tariff dining option is also available at the upscale Cove Restaurant. Rates begin at $199 per person for a three night weekend cruise with two night cruise options available as low as $119 per person. Currently, the BAHAMAS CELEBRATION, which arrived in Port Everglades, FL earlier this month, is sailing on test "runs".
REGAL EMPRESS Update

The company is still in business but will no longer be sailing to the Bahamas. In the interim, REGAL EMPRESS is scheduled to depart Fort Lauderdale at midnight on March 13/14 for an undetermined destination.
