Top things to do before your cruise from the uk, experience the wonder of stonehenge.
One of the most iconic excursions to go on before Southampton cruises is a visit to Stonehenge. Famous for its Neolithic engineering as well as its mysteriousness, Stonehenge features a stone circle that was built from massive stones weighing as much as 25 tons that had to have been transported incredibly long distances using only the simple tools they had available at the time. It’s an incredible experience to walk around the circle and imagine a former civilization constructing it thousands of years ago.
Shop on Oxford Street
Spanning 1.5 miles, London’s Oxford Street is a shopper’s paradise. As one of the world’s largest retail streets, you’ll find a little bit of everything for every type of budget, from high-street brands like Topshop and River Island to legendary department stores such as Marks & Spencer and Selfridges. Squeeze in a shopping session before your Southampton cruise, or simply stroll through the pedestrian-friendly street, where you’ll also be able to enjoy dozens of trendy restaurants, cafes, and bars.
Top Sights & Attractions Near Southampton
Windsor castle.
Dating back to the 11th century, Windsor Castle has served as the royal home for over 39 monarchs over the span of 900 years, making it the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Visit the State Apartments, where Queen Elizabeth used to host her official visits. See Queen Mary’s doll house from the 1920s, which was built to include electricity and running water. Stop in St. George’s Chapel, the site where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married in 2018.
Visit Runnymede, the place where the Magna Carta was signed in 1215. The picturesque meadows became the unofficial birthplace of democracy over 800 years ago, when King James signed the Magna Carta into existence. There are several memorials to explore in the site, including the Magna Carta Memorial, the JFK Memorial (a plaque that commemorates the former U.S. president’s legacy after his assassination), and the Commonwealth Air Forces Memorial, which includes the names of the more than 20,000 members of the Allied Air Forces who died during World War II.
River Thames
As the home of several popular landmarks, including the London Eye and Tower Bridge, the River Thames is the longest river in England and a quintessential London attraction. Take a river cruise down its gentle waters and admire the cityscape in the distance. Stroll along the Thames and stop for lunch or dinner at a riverside restaurant. Cross the bridge by either walking over the iconic Tower Bridge or the futuristic Millennium Bridge—a great spot to take a selfie with the Thames in the background.
When can I cruise from Southampton
Our ships sail from Southampton between April and October. No matter which month you choose to travel, we’ll transport you to Europe’s most desirable destinations. For warm, sunny weather and smaller crowds, the best time to take a cruise from Southampton is generally between April and June or September and October. If you’re planning on bringing the whole family along, you can’t beat our summer sailings around the stunning Mediterranean.
What food should I try in Southampton?
For a quintessential English dining experience, look for menus with the following items: Bakewell pudding, a dessert with a pastry base that has an almond filling and is topped with jam and icing; spotted dick, another dessert pudding featuring currants and raisins; Cornish pastry, a savory pastry filled with meat and vegetables; Lancashire hotpot, a stew made with lamb and potatoes; fish and chips, with battered, deep-fried fish served alongside fries; and curry, since England is known for its Indian and Bangladeshi food, particularly chicken tikka masala.
When you’re in England, don’t miss the chance to savor the country’s iconic traditional breakfast of bacon, sausage, fried eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, black pudding, a roasted tomato, and toast.
Afternoon tea is also a popular way to get a taste of England. A traditional English tea usually has scones with jam, butter, clotted cream, and tea. A couple of the best places to get tea during your Southampton cruise port of call are at Grand Café, which offers two different types of afternoon tea, and Elsie’s Tea Room, which has a vintage feel.

Managing my booking
Can i book travel insurance through fred. olsen cruise lines.
Having appropriate cruise insurance cover is a requirement for booking your holiday with us. Knowing you have comprehensive cover means you can relax and concentrate on planning the rest of your holiday. To help, we’ve provided three top tips for organising your cover.
TIP ONE: Ensure you have the right cover. To avoid any pitfalls it’s best to ensure your cover is specific to cruise holidays. Also, declaring all pre-existing medical conditions to your insurer will reduce your potential for financial consequences.
TIP TWO : Avoid potential loopholes It is tempting to save money and opt for the cheapest holiday insurance. However, many policies have loopholes that will not provide cover for the exact circumstance in the claim. Be sure to investigate what’s covered in your policy.
TIP THREE : Purchase your cover early We advise you to get insurance organised for your forthcoming cruise as soon as you have booked. This will give you peace of mind that you are covered and protect your non-refundable deposit.
HOLIDAY EXTRAS
Fred. Olsen Cruises recognises Holiday Extras to offer competitive Travel Insurance that is tailored towards you and your cruise.

Discover the beauty on your doorstep with a uk cruise.
With a whole world to discover, it is all too easy to forget the treasures we have right on our doorstep in the United Kingdom. Allow us to remind you with a cruise around the British Isles, shining a light on the most fascinating corners of our diverse nation.
Made up of over 6,000 islands and boasting spectacular coastlines and beautiful landscapes, the British Isles is rich in diverse cultures, customs, and traditions, making for a charming cruise destination. Our unique British Isles cruise itineraries take you to remote, far-flung islands, iconic and vibrant cities as well as charming coastal towns.
With a focus on the stunning islands around the mainland of our nation, you’ll be able to explore unique cultures and landscapes on a round Britain cruise with Ambassador.
Discover the tranquillity of Tobermory on the Scottish Isle of Mull. With rainbow-hued buildings along its peaceful harbour, an iconic whisky distillery and amazing natural landscapes, you’ll have plenty to fall in love with here. We don’t stop there with the Scottish Isles, and a highlight of many cruises is Portree on the Isle of Skye, where you will feel like you’ve entered a Tolkienesque fantasy landscape upon Skye’s surreal crags and peaks. You’ll also be able to visit Kirkwall, and stunning feature of the northern Orkney Islands, filled with historical sites and surrounded by an incredible wilderness.
Looking southwards, you’ll be able to explore the quaint capital of St. Peter Port in Guernsey, where England meets France amid a picture-postcard landscape. Quainter and more unspoilt than its near neighbour St. Helier, St. Peter Port is part Francophile fishing port, part bustling capital – and a playground for the wealthy, who know a good thing when they see it.
Then there are the hidden pleasures of St Mary’s in the Isles of Scilly, a subtropical paradise off the coast of Cornwall. Little more than six square miles, St Mary’s is the largest of the islands, with an atmosphere that is unlike anything you will experience on the mainland.
It’s not just inspiring islands we visit, with stops at incredible mainland ports on our cruises of the UK, from Belfast in Northern Ireland, with incredible culture and access to the geological marvel of Giant’s Causeway. And you can explore the historic maritime city of Portsmouth on England’s south coast, loaded with amazing attractions and a bustling atmosphere.
Our cruises around the UK offer a fantastic opportunity to explore some of the best of both Britain and Ireland, uncovering UNESCO World Heritage sites, a wealth of cultures, incredible natural landscapes, energetic towns and cities and much more. Who knew there was so much to love on our doorstep?

These cruises around the UK will show you the best of our beautiful coastline
Leave the stresses of airports and driving behind you on these British Isles cruises
A cruise around the UK makes for an exciting staycation for those seeking a little more adventure than a few relaxing nights at a cottage or a mini-break at a hotel.
Just as with train journeys , a cruise allows you to venture to several parts of the UK in one trip, without spending hours stuck in traffic on the motorway or getting caught up in airport chaos.
On the best cruises around the UK, there's wildlife to discover (think puffins in St Kilda ), charming seaside towns (don't miss Fishguard and Tobermory), and historical sites to delve into on exciting shore excursions.
It's easy to be tempted by the fantastic expedition cruises around the UK that take adventurers to Britain's remote islands, including the Hebrides , and to historic ports and wildlife hotspots on carefully organised shore excursions.
You can travel on luxuriously eco-conscious ships like Hurtigruten's sleekly-designed MS Spitsbergen or the elegant yacht, Lord of the Glens. On many British Isles cruises you'll travel in true luxury, with drinks and meals included, so you can relax and explore without having to think about any extra budgeting, or researching where to get your next meal from.
Whether you fancy a cruise around Scotland’s dramatic Hebrides or a voyage along the British Isles’ diverse coastline, here's our selection of some of the best cruises around the UK taking place next year.
Cruise around the British Isles
When a short break won't quite do, you can spend 13 days exploring the treasures of the UK and Ireland on a British Isles cruise that takes you to the Isles of Scilly, the Welsh coast, and up to the Scottish Hebrides. During the round-trip cruise from Dover, you’ll enjoy a full-board stay on the refurbished MS Maud, and enjoy its observation lounge, library, hot tub, gym and restaurant. This stylish vessel will allow you to see more of the British Isles in one trip than you could ever hope to reach by car or train. You'll see some of our most interesting islands, including the fascinating Rathlin Island, which is home to Northern Ireland’s largest seabird colony, and Scotland's St Kilda, with its breathtaking cliffs.
When? Multiple sailings in May, June, July and August 2023

Explore the wonders of Scotland's west coast
From mystical Loch Ness to the beautiful walks from Tobermory, there are so many reasons to venture to Scotland's western shore.
On this five-night cruise , you'll have the chance to sail on a luxurious private yacht through the Highlands and islands of Scotland, exploring the endlessly beautiful Caledonian Canal, hidden sea lochs and magical islands.
You'll board the elegant private yacht, Lord of the Glens, at Inverness, before sailing down the eerily beautiful Caledonian Canal past Loch Ness, Loch Oich, and Ben Nevis, before sailing across the Sound of Mull to Tobermory in the Inner Hebrides. It's a wonderfully luxurious way to see some of the most breathtaking parts of Scotland.
When: April 2023
Island hop in the Hebrides
Greece and Thailand are fine locations for an island-hopping adventure but there's really nowhere else like Scotland's Hebrides, where you can soak up the wild, remote beauty of Britain on a cruise.
There are hundreds of islands in the Hebrides, and a cruise is the perfect way to see many of them in one trip as you hop from isle to isle without having to worry about researching local ferry timetables and trying to work out your own itinerary.
The wild beauty to be found here is hard to beat and Good Housekeeping's 11-day cruise will take you to the best of the isles.
The voyage starts in Glasgow, where you'll board the modern and environmentally friendly MS Spitsbergen. You'll sail to the Isle of Mull and spend time exploring its postcard-perfect capital, Tobermory, where brightly painted Georgian houses flank the tiny bay. Then it's on to other islands, like tiny uninhabited Hirta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Colonsay, home to over 200 bird species. When? April and May 2023 FIND OUT MORE
Explore the Highlands and islands of Scotland by luxury yacht
There's no reason why exploring wild and remote places can't be a luxurious experience too, and on a trip around Scotland's breathtaking Highlands and stunning islands, like Islay (pictured), you can lie back and soak up the scenes on a comfortable yacht.
You'll be sailing on board the luxury Lord of the Glens, and just as with the five-night trip , you'll navigate the peaceful waters of the Caledonian Canal down to the Atlantic waters of the Sound of Mull.
You'll then have extra days to explore the Hebridean islands, with their unique traditions, diverse wildlife and fantastic food. You'll visit the 'whisky Isle' of Islay, the tiny Isle of Eigg with its marine animals and birdlife, and Iona, the last resting place of some 50 Scottish kings.
You'll stay full board on the ship, so the only thing you need to think about is which sight to take in next.

Princess Cruises Brings Sought-After Destination of Japan to the Culturally Curious Traveler with Release of 2026 Cruise Season
Diamond princess to sail on over 50 departures showcasing the land of the rising sun - january through november 2026.
By downloading this image you agree to the Princess asset use terms and conditions
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (September 19, 2024) – The scenic island nation of Japan continues to be a hot destination for tourists who are inspired by architecture, local cuisine and natural landscapes, and this trend is expected to extend into 2026. Today, Princess Cruises – recognized as the leading North American cruise line in Japan – released its 2026 Japan cruise season, offering the most immersive and authentic experiences for the culturally curious traveler who wants to plan ahead.
The 2,670-guest Diamond Princess, built in Japan and designed for this great destination, returns to offer a longer season, from February through November 2026, with 50 departures ranging in length from seven to 28 days, on 35 unique itineraries visiting 38 destinations in three countries.
No matter the itinerary, Diamond Princess guests will take in legendary cities from Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima; temples and shrines like the Aomori’s Sannai-Maruyama ruins, Kochi Castle and Itsukushima Shrine, the most recognizable red torii ; arts, culture and tradition from baseball, Sumo wrestling, Kabuki theater and Zen gardens; natural wonders and landscapes with the celebrated cherry blossoms, Mount Fuji and Nagai Botanical Gardens in Osaka; to vivacious festivals, sake, seafood and celebrated cuisine.
“Only on Princess can you become immersed into Japan’s rich culture, ancient traditions and incredible beauty while enjoying a completely unique onboard fusion of eastern and western cultures,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “The extended 2026 season lets guests choose a cruise in the season they find most appealing – from spring cherry blossoms, to summer festivals, autumn foliage or snowy, wintery landscapes.”
2026 Itinerary Highlights
The season offers opportunities to view the famed Spring Flowers, experience the epic Fall Foliage, and enjoy five top festivals, including the Aomori Nebuta Festival and the Kumano Fireworks Festival. Itinerary highlights include:
- 10- and 11-day Spring Flowers cruises in March and April to all four main islands, following the predicted blooming season as it moves from south to north.
- 9- to 14-day Circle Japan Voyages circumnavigate the island of Japan, with stops including Nagasaki, Kanazawa and Maizuru (for Kyoto).
- 9-day Southern Islands itineraries call to Okinawa, Ishigaki in Japan, along with Taipei (Keelung) and Hualien on the island of Taiwan.
- 7- to 11-day Japan Explorer voyages visit some of the country’s most iconic destinations, such as Shimizu (for Mt. Fuji), Osaka (for Kyoto) and Hiroshima.
- Longer voyages from 15 to 28 days, allowing for a deeper exploration of the region.
- More Ashore late-night stays in six ports including Aomori (for Nebuta Festival), Hakodate (for Minato Festival), Kochi (for Yosaki Festival), Shimizu (for Mt. Fuji) and Tokushima (for Awa Odori Festival).
Southeast Asia Grand Adventures
Before Diamond Princess arrives for the Japan season, the ship sails to exotic locations in southeast Asia, with opportunities to explore Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand in January 2026, including:
- 10-day Vietnam with Halong Bay sailing roundtrip from Singapore and visiting Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Halong Bay/Hanoi with scenic cruising and Da Nang.
- 11-day Malaysia & Thailand from Singapore with stops in Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Phuket, Penang, Ko Samui and Bangkok.
These two itineraries can be combined for an unforgettable 21-day Southeast Asia Grand Adventure with Halong Bay , roundtrip from Singapore.
Onboard Diamond Princess
Built by Mitsubishi in Nagasaki, Diamond Princess features uniquely designed, Japanese-inspired experiences including an Izumi Bath modeled after a traditional onsen, regional dishes from the Noodle Bar or freshly prepared sushi at Kai Sushi, fine Japanese whiskeys, sake and shochu, 400-year-old traditional “rakugo” storytelling, karaoke-filled evenings and folkloric dancers showcasing the arts.
The Princess Experience
No matter the cruise, Princess delivers a premium vacation with the line’s award-winning, signature Princess MedallionClass experience which offers unparalleled service and personalization. Guests booking can take advantage of inclusive packages like Princess Plus and Princess Premier (with new unlimited offerings!) which add popular amenities like WiFi, beverages, specialty dining, desserts, fitness classes, crew appreciation and more at an even greater savings of up 65% when the inclusive package amenities are purchased separately.

Norwegian unveiled plans for a new cruise ship — complete with a roller coaster waterslide and night club to take on Royal Caribbean
- Norwegian Cruise Line says its 3,550-guest Norwegian Luna will debut in 2026.
- The company's 21st vessel would have family-friendly amenities such as a roller coaster-like waterslide.
- Luna could be a good option for families who prefer a new build but don't enjoy mega cruise ships .
If you're tired of only hearing about ultra-large cruise ships or ultra-expensive small ones, Norwegian Cruise Line has the answer.
On Wednesday, the popular cruise company unveiled details of Norwegian Luna, its next Prima Plus Class ship.
The upcoming vessel, Norwegian's 21st, would have family-friendly amenities like infinity pools, a high-tech sports court, and a cross between a roller coaster and waterslide.
The cruise liner is scheduled to kick off its maiden season in April 2026 with weeklong Caribbean cruises roundtrip from Miami.
At 1,056 feet long and 156,300 gross tons, Luna would be larger than the company's preceding Prima Class vessels but smaller than any ships its competitor, Royal Caribbean, has debuted over the last 15 years.
If you don't love giant cruise ships, Royal Caribbean's dazzling mega-ships could make for an overwhelming vacation.
The largest, Icon of the Seas, is 1,1960 feet long and 250,800 gross tons. It may be packed with family-friendly activities like a waterpark and an ice skating rink, but you'll have to share these amenities with another 7,599 guests.
Two of Royal Caribbean's less sizable cruise ships are also scheduled for Miami cruises in 2026. But by then, the newer of the two, Independence of the Seas, will already be 18 years old.
So, if you want to cruise out of Miami but prefer a new, large-but-not-too-large vessel, the 3,550-guest Norwegian Luna could be a great option for you and your family.
The ship is expected to be identical to Norwegian's upcoming Norwegian Aqua , scheduled to debut in March 2025. The pair of floating resorts won't have as many attractions as Icon of the Seas, but they would still hold their ground in the family-friendly cruise industry.
Like Aqua, Luna would have signature Norwegian amenities such as a 10-station food hall, a 10-story-tall dry slide, and Ocean Boulevard, an open-air walkway with restaurants, pools, and lounges.
Young children would have a water playground while adults have an al fresco lounge with infinity hot tubs.
Along with a new Thai restaurant, wine bar, and plant-based eatery, Aqua and Luna would also debut two firsts for the cruise line: the Aqua Slidecoaster and the Glow Court. Norwegian calls the former a cross between a roller coaster and a waterslide, and the latter a high-tech sports court that turns into a nightclub at sundown.
The ships may not have as expensive or playful cabins as Royal Caribbean's $100,000-a-week Ultimate Family Townhouse . But they would debut Norwegian's new two-story, three-bedroom Haven suites complete with a living and dining room, butler service, and access to an exclusive outdoor lounge.
Norwegian Luna's maiden season fares range from $1,400 per person for an interior cabin to $18,500 per person for the Owner's Suite. Not too steep compared to Icon of the Seas' cheapest 2026 itinerary, which comes in at about $1,710 per person for seven nights.

The Full Story Behind That Time George Clooney 100% Pranked Tom Cruise While Pretending To Be Brad Pitt
George Clooney pulled an epic prank on Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
George Clooney is a known practical joker. The actor is almost as famous for some of his antics as he is for his films. His friends like Brad Pitt and Matt Damon have spoken often about some of the pranks that Clooney has pulled , but the actor recently told a story about pranking Tom Cruise that has to be one of the best we’ve heard.
Clooney has frequently used letters as the method for his pranks . It's been mentioned before that Clooney would write letters to people with Bill Clinton's stationery , but now we know exactly how he got it as well as stationery from other celebs he has used for pranks.
How George Clooney Ended Up With Brad Pitt Stationary
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss Wolfs , his new movie with Brad Pitt , Clooney revealed that, it is thanks to Kimmel that he has stationary that came from the desk of former President Bill Clinton as well as other famous names. Kimmel explained the gift he gave to Clooney, saying…
I had received a letter from President Clinton, and I had that stationary duplicated. I’m not sure if that’s a crime or not. I had it duplicated at great expense, it’s a multi-color raised seal sort of situation and I gave it to you because I knew it would be in good hands and that you would have a lot of fun with it. I gave you stationery that said Brad Pitt’s name on it also.
The stationery was given by Kimmel because he knew Clooney would enjoy pranking his friends. And he has done so in spades. Clooney says every actor he knows has received a letter from Bill Clinton at one time or another, but it was the Brad Pitt stationary that led to a hilarious moment with Tom Cruise .
How George Clooney Pranked Tom Cruise Over A Fake Interview With The Vampire Sequel
While sending people letters as Bill Clinton sounds hilarious, it was the Brad Pitt stationary that led to a great story, as it ultimately resulted in both Pitt and Tom Cruise finding themselves wondering what was going on. Clooney sent a letter as Pitt to Cruise regarding a fictitious sequel to a movie they had made together, but with a strange twist. Clooney revealed…
The Brad Pitt one was brutal. I sent it to everybody. I sent it to Don Cheadle. I sent it to Tom Cruise saying that they want to do Interview [With The Vampire] 2 but this time Brad wants to play Lestat.
An Interview with the Vampire sequel is just the sort of movie we would expect some studio to want to make, there were even rumors that such a thing might happen. Of course, one would think they’d really want Tom Cruise involved. Casting Pitt as the character previously played by Cruise sounds so wild that I feel like somebody should have been suspicious from the start. But then, if it’s written on Brad Pitt’s personal stationary, why would you question it?
This same topic came up in a conversation between Kimmel and Brad Pitt recently and it turns out Cruise called Brad Pitt directly in response to the letter, which, of course, led to a great deal of confusion. Kimmel said…

Brad this afternoon said that Tom called him and said ‘Yeah, it’s cool, you can play Lestat. That’s fine, I’m ok with that.’ And he’s like ‘What are you talking about?’
At this point, I imagine Brad Pitt shaking his fist at the sky and shouting “Clooney!” It sounds like when moments like this arise there is never much question just who is responsible. To be fair, Brad Pitt has pulled pranks on Clooney too , so I guess all is fair.

Crochet Cruises Update
Sharing is caring!
You've been booked for our next Crochet Cruises in Fall 2025. What's next? New cruisers may not be aware of our future procedures.
Sherry's communications are very direct and to the point. We are not the only group or people for whom she is scheduling travel. All communications need documentation, and you must email her first so she has a record of your request for changes on file. Each guest has their file with her. She will document communications as she is 'by the book' for travel.
We will have a private crochet cruise booklet closer to the cruise for the guidelines and much more about these cruises in spring 2025.
You were added to a private Facebook Group at the time of booking. You are either in Group 1 for the first cruise or Group 2 for the second cruise. Random people or strangers are not placed into these groups so that you get to know who is riding on the ship with you. Should a person cancel, they are automatically taken out of the group.
If you have a travelling companion who needs an invite, please get in touch with Sherry Leybovich to send an invite. We do not add family or friends who are not travelling with us to the group . Just email her at [email protected]
In The Future
Anything about your booking or financials needs to be handled privately with Sherry. Do not post on the group changes to your reservation, cancellations, add-ons, or anything that changes your booking. That's a private matter to be handled confidentially with Sherry.
At the Time of Booking
UPDATED: You were asked about travel insurance. You either accepted it or declined it. If you have not purchased travel insurance yet, you can still get it. Email Sherry immediately to have it added.
- You were asked about your dietary needs. If that changes—email Sherry.
- All evening dinners are with the group at the early seating. Go ahead if you decide to eat the buffet or at another restaurant on board. We don't need notice if you are not attending the arranged seating dinner.
- Your cabin mates will sit at your table, and other crocheters from the group will be added in. Celebrity Cruise Lines arranges the seating, but they are informed to keep our group together.
All luggage is x-rayed when it boards the ship. Any alcohol that is smuggled and contraband that is found, such as steamers, irons, weapons that include firearms, knives, extension cords, and gawd knows whatever is in there, will be taken out before it arrives as your cabin and be given back to you at the end of the cruise.
Must be Pre-Arranged
- If you need an extension cord for your CPAP, please let Sherry know. Celebrity will provide it. DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN ; it will be taken away from you and returned to you at the end of the cruise.
- Do not bring any irons or steamers with you for your clothing. It will be taken away from you.
- Sherry must arrange it beforehand if you need help walking up the long path and steep incline to the ship from the terminal. The vessel will assign pier assistance to you. You cannot request this service without it being documented on your cruise ticket. If you have a cane, struggle to walk or are in a wheelchair already, please email Sherry to have this noted on your ticket.
- Sherry can assist in the rental services of medical equipment you may need, including scooters and other medical needs. Scooters, if rented, will be waiting for you at your cabin door. You cannot rent one on board, as it's a private firm that puts it on the ship for you.
- Suppose you have a service dog that needs to be on board. A lot of paperwork must be done, and it must be pre-authorized to be on the ship. Email Sherry to get started on this. Pets are not allowed on board.
Communications Going Forward
If something major happens, Sherry will email you directly.
If there are notices such as excursions or a time to start booking other things, they will be on Facebook Groups to let you know.
Plane Tickets
When the time comes closer, you can purchase your tickets if needed. There is parking at the cruise terminal for people, and we will have more information about that.
If you are flying the same day of the cruise departure, ensure you get to Fort Lauderdale in the morning and factor in any possible delays.
When the cruise is finished, schedule your departure from Fort Lauderdale after 1 p.m. It would be best if you had time to get off the ship, and with the thousands of cruisers from multiple cruise ships, the airport will be bustling. Scheduling your departure before noon when the cruise is over risks you not making it on time and missing your flight. The flights out are usually sold out. There's no room for a mistake.
Strong Recommendation
Celebrity Cruise Lines will be offering plane tickets called Flights by Celebrity.
- If the airline they have booked for you fails to connect, has weather issues or doesn't get to Fort Lauderdale on time, they will guarantee to take care of you by putting you up in a hotel and moving you to the first stop of the cruise ship. You really don't want this to happen, but if it does, Flights by Celebrity takes over and gets you moved.
If you opt to book your own and it fails to get you to the terminal on time, you'll have to figure out what's next. Sherry can advise, but you are responsible for the cost incurred and the next steps.
Pre and Post Cruise Hotel
The same hotel will be selected as the pre-cruise hotel for both cruises. Most people show up the day before the cruise, some two days before.
Sherry will assign the pre-cruise hotel for bookings in the Spring of 2025. The rates given are corporate rates as our party tends to be large. You will be paying for this hotel at a discounted rate.
- Sherry will have an online form to complete, and the hotel will be ready for you. The bookings stay open for a limited time before the remaining rooms are given back to regular guests trying to book.
- Check-ins open up around 3 pm. The hotel will be sold out.
- You will be asked for us to Shuttle you to the cruise terminal at your expense on our private coaches. This includes everyone travelling to your party with you. If you opt not to do this service, please go direct to the cruise terminal.
The night before, you will be given your T-shirts, Swag, and more at the Pre-Cruise Hotel. If your plane hasn't yet arrived, we will have your name tag and swag with us in the morning before we depart from the hotel. We will be in the lobby.
If this is the second cruise, your lanyards will accompany Mikey. We will announce where we are sitting on the vessel if you want to slide by to pick them up.
If you are not going to the hotel at all, please see us on the ship. We will give you the same stuff and announce in the group where we are to pick everything up.
Things to Bring
Please bring any medications you need on board the ship. We are not dispensing medications. Should you need something like an aspirin, the gift shop on board will have it, but there is a big price difference that makes it worthwhile to bring it from home.
Medical On Board
For non-Americans, the Sick Bay is on board at the bottom of the ship. Should you need medical assistance, it's run like American health care; you pay to play, which means that a simple visit will cost you dearly. Seeking a doctor is USD 140; the bill will be higher for any other care.
Pack the medications you may need, including stomach, indigestion or diarrhea.
Crochet Things to Bring
We will announce this later on. The workshops are still in progress.
Final Note About Sherry
For ten years, we have used Sherry as our dedicated Crochet Cruise and Big Events outside of making Jimmy Beans Wool Retreats. Sherry also handles Daniel and I's personal travel.
Sherry will be aboard the cruise ship with us. Celebrities may overlook reservations that do not apply beverage packages and other conditions. Sherry carries a massive book of reservations and will fix things to match your order. We have yet to cruise, and some reservations are missing things like beverage packages.
Sherry doesn't get involved in the following:
- Roommates or spouses that are fighting.
- Foodservice that doesn't meet your needs.
- The service of staff on board isn't meeting your expectations.
- Billing discrepancies for anything you charge to your credit card while on board.
Sherry's advice will always be the same: go to customer service. They are equipped to deal with these complaints. Contact customer service if you see a billing issue midway through your cruise. The day before we finish a cruise, there is mayhem at customer service for anyone finding errors or thinking there are errors. Deal with them as they come.
If you have any questions, please email Sherry. She may arrange a phone call to talk to you or quickly update your reservation.

Trump says he’s met pilots better than Tom Cruise when grilled on aliens at Area 51
The former president made the remarks while appearing on fox news, article bookmarked.

Your briefing on the latest headlines from across the us, thanks for signing up to the evening headlines email.
Former President Donald Trump said he knows pilots better than Tom Cruise, as the former president was grilled about the existence of aliens.
Whether Trump knew the A-lister has a pilot’s license or the former president was referring to Cruise’s character in the Top Gun series is up for debate.
Trump made the remarks on Wednesday while appearing on Gutfeld! , a Fox News late-night talk show hosted by Greg Gutfeld. Fox News panelist Kat Timpf presented the former president with the line of questioning on the secretive military base .
“Can I please ask a question, just because I’m never gonna be allowed in a room with a president again?” she said during the president’s appearance. Gutfeld gestured for her to continue.
“Are there aliens at Area 51 ?” she said.
Trump responded: “I’ll tell you, it’s a funny thing because I think that might be a question that I get more than any question. It is the craziest thing.”
“I don’t think I’m a believer,” Trump continued. “But I have interviewed pilots that look – I like Tom Cruise – but better than Tom Cruise.”
Cruise is a licensed pilot, but one of his most famous roles is as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Top Gun . It's unclear if the Republican nominee for president was referring to the fictional fighter pilot or Cruise’s actual flying skills when making the comparison.
The actual pilots told him, Trump recounted, that: “’All I know, sir, is there was a round object that was going four times faster than my F-22,’ which is a very fast plane.” Trump added: “Four or five guys I’ve interviewed, solid people, great pilots for the US Air Force, etcetera, they’ve seen things that they cannot explain.”
Tyrus then asked the former president if he’d be willing to “put tariffs on them” on aliens, if they are real and visit from outer space. Trump replied: “Yes.”
