Celebrity’s Seminar at Sea!!

If you are following my Facebook page ‘Ava’s Adventures at Cruise.co.uk’ you would have seen that from the 18th-23rd October I was on-board Celebrity Eclipse for their exclusive Seminar at Sea and it was really interesting and extremely fun. In just 3 short days of training I learnt so much more about Celebrity as a brand and about their ethos.

There are so many exciting things happening over the next few years with Celebrity and I think the most exciting of them all is the release of their new class of ships. Edge Class and they look incredible.

I have included lots of helpful tips and information below so you can really get a feel of Modern Luxury with Celebrity.

• Luminae – This is an exclusive restaurant for Suite Guests. With amazing dishes available and all cooked to order. However, if you do fancy something else, the staff can also bring the menu from the main dining room.

Entertainment

Whilst we were on-board we were lucky enough to watch ‘Rock City’ and prior to that we had an exclusive back stage tour which was great. We saw where the performers get ready including the costumes and props. Having seen back stage before the show made the show even more great. The theatre on-board was great, you can see the stage clearly from every seat, make sure you are early though so you can get a seat as the shows are very popular. My favourite activity on-board is definitely the silent Disco. It is so much fun and everyone gets involved. Check out more entertainment here.

 

 

Kids Clubs

From the Fun factory for the younger ones to the X club for teens. Celebrity has a range of activities for all ages of children. They also have fun activities that the whole family can participate in such as ‘Family tour challenges’ and ‘Anturus adventures through science’. I was really impressed with the family facilities on-board and there were so many more than I realized.

Overall, we had a great time on-board and you will too. So what are you waiting for…..check out available Celebrity Cruise’s here and contact me for prices and availability. Here are a few more pictures below and also a video from the OceanView Cafe…watch until the end as I make an appearance
