Celebrity Summit Review





The Celebrity Summit was recently "Solsticized" in 2012. What does that mean? Glad you asked. It all began when many features from the Millennium Class ships inspired Celebrity to create the Solstice Class ships. Now the Millenium Class ships have undergone a $140M investment to be revitalized.

On the Celebrity Summit, you'll now be able to indulge in the spa-inspired AquaClass staterooms with exclusive dining in the Blu restaurant, enjoy access to Persian Garden spa where you can decompress on the heated tile loungers, enjoy fresh tea and water service daily and have access to your Aqua Class Spa Concierge.  Go on a culinary journey in Qsine where food and art merge into dishes guaranteed to surprise and delight where you will  make your dining and wine choices from the iPad menu. After dinner head on over to the ultra-hip Crush Martini Bar, where you will find an ice-topped bar and the bartenders entertaining you while they mix up your martini from a full menu of classic and contemporary martinis.  Stay connected at the hip Celebrity iLounge, the first Authorized Apple Reseller at sea. You can take classes here to master photography, video or audio skills or shop to purchase the latest gadgets duty-free.

The Celebrity Summit is sure to appeal to  many with the newest upgrades and easy accessibility from Cape Liberty, NJ.

Until next time.....

Dolphinarium at Moon Palace Resort - Mexico




Palace Resorts has announced the addition of a dolphinarium at the brand’s signature property, Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort, in Cancun. Part of the resort’s multi-million dollar enhancement project, the attraction is managed by a team of trainers from Dolphin Discovery, members of the International Marine Animal Trainers Association, with facilities in Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, Puerto Aventuras and throughout the Caribbean. This latest addition to Palace Resorts’ offerings will allow guests the opportunity to safely swim and interact with eight friendly dolphins, in a state-of-the-art, saltwater aquarium that is more than 37,000 square feet in size. Guests can also use the Palace Resorts $1,500 Resort Credit offer to book this new activity, although the $1,500 Resort Credit can only be used toward Dolphin Discovery activities when booking the Ultimate Swim Experience.
Starting at $129 per person, visitors to Dolphin Discovery will participate in a 15-minute orientation followed by a 40 minute dolphin experience for guests where they learn about these highly intelligent mammals before suiting up with a life jacket, goggles and snorkel to engage in activities with the dolphins that range from belly rides to feedings. Children under the age of eight years old must be accompanied by an adult.
The interactive experience is available up to five times a day for 10 to 15 guests at a time. The attraction will offer three types of experiences for guests: Dolphin Encounter, Royal Swim and Ultimate Dolphin Swim.
The Dolphin Encounter is ideal for families, with the opportunity to swim with the dolphins and receive warm handshakes, hugs and kisses.
The Royal Swim is a program which includes the famous foot push, where the dolphins swim underneath the guests and gently push them to the surface by their feet. The interactive program also features the dorsal tow, where two dolphins pull the guest with their dorsal fins.
The Ultimate Dolphin Swim offers free time with the dolphins, a belly ride and a peek at the friendly mammals through submarine views.

I recently stayed at Moon Palace and have  first hand information on Palace Resorts. My personal contacts at these resorts will ensure my guests have the greatest time. Call me today for information 631-780-6195
