WHO TAKES Fun & Fitness Travel Club cruises? Doctors, lawyers, teachers, hair dressers, ranchers, bus drivers, psychiatrists, political advisers, authors, inventors, preachers, surgeons, song writers, guitar makers, military retirees, accountants, realtors and Hollywood performers, that's who. Club members are tall, short, slender, stocky, every ethnicity, every religion and from every state in America, as well as other countries. Although club members are different in many ways they are totally alike in two ways: they like to have fun and exercise every day when they travel. On a summer cruise to Alaska Celebrity's ship captain was so impressed with the enthusiasm and number of club members on his ship he invited them up onto the top deck emergency helipad to sip champagne under sunny, blue skies when the ship was docking at Victoria Island, Canada. Celebrity Cruise Lines was founded/registered in Greece in 1988. Celebrity sails under the blue and white flag of Greece. It is a member of the Royal Caribbean Cruse Lines Corporation. |
