Love Boat Event of the Season!
Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from Princess and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com Log On for a Front Row Seat at the Love Boat Event of the Season Beloved Cast Members Join Festivities Onboard New Caribbean Princess as Actress Jill Whelan Becomes Both Bride and Godmother in Romantic Dual Ceremony SANTA CLARITA, Calif., March 26 Princess Cruises is set to deliver its first year-round Caribbean ship next week, and who better to set the tone for the most romantic vessel to sail the tropics than the crew of the original Love Boat? At 6 pm on April 2, the line featured in the iconic television show will offer anyone with internet access a front row seat for a very special celebration combining the wedding of Jill Whelan, who for nearly a decade played "Captain Stubing's" daughter, "Vicki," with a traditional christening ceremony on the top deck the new Caribbean Princess. "Combining a wedding with a more traditional naming ceremony seemed a natural for our new Caribbean 'Love Boat'," said Jan Swartz, senior vice president of customer service and sales. "And who better to symbolize the romance of cruising than Jill Whelan, who virtually grew up on the TV show? Her dual role as both bride and godmother is as unique as the experience the Caribbean Princess will offer our passengers in this destination." Live internet wedding broadcasts are not new for Princess. The line pioneered "Wed-Cams" with the launch of its first Grand Class vessel in 1998, allowing couples who opt for seagoing nuptials to share their special day with friends and family at home. Princess is the only cruise line able to offer legally binding weddings performed by the ship's Captain in international waters. "Generally speaking, one of a bride's most difficult tasks is paring down her guest list," said Whelan. "I am so excited to be able to share both of these very special events not only with my family and friends, but also with Love Boat fans who might be interested in attending 'virtually.' I get to marry the man I love, and be the godmother of Caribbean Princess in one fell swoop -- it certainly sounds like the "Love Boat," doesn't it?" The dual celebration will be broadcast live online at www.princess.com from Fort Lauderdale 6-7:30 pm Eastern Time, and will include commentary from Gavin MacLeod (Captain Stubing) and Bernie Kopell (Doc) from the show's cast. Highlights of the event will be available online following the broadcast. Among Caribbean Princess' many features, there will be plenty of opportunities for romantic activities, especially with the ship's unique "Movies Under the Stars," a 300 sq. ft. poolside LED screen showing evening movies in pre-reserved lounge chairs; private balcony dining en-suite; a brand new Lotus Spa offering a variety of treatments created specifically for couples; and Princess' signature Hearts & Minds wedding chapel. More than 1,000 weddings have taken place aboard Princess ships since 1998 when the line introduced "Tie the Knot," the only at-sea wedding program. Caribbean Princess will sail roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale on a Western Caribbean itinerary with calls at Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios (or Montego Bay), Cozumel and Princess Cays, Princess' private island in the Bahamas. It has an alternating Eastern Caribbean itinerary with stops in St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Princess Cays. One of the best-known names in North American cruising, Princess Cruises is a global cruise and tour company. Part of Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE: CCL and CUK), its current fleet of 12 ships sail on approximately 150 different itineraries around the globe, calling at more than 260 ports on all seven continents.
