Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity Cruises updated their vaccination policy for sailings departing from Florida after the CDC warned of the swine influenza threat. The cruise line has been implementing the new policy as it continues its ongoing work with local authorities in the US and destinations that we visit. We are not legally bound by these policies, but we notify our passengers so that they are up to date on their vaccinations.
Carnival
Unlike many other cruise lines, the Carnival Cruise Line has built ever-bigger ships. Mardi Gras has a capacity for 5,282 passengers and measures 181,808 feet. The smaller Carnival Panorama measures 133,868 tons and can carry only 4,008 passengers. While both are comparatively small by today's cruise ship standards, they were among the world's largest ships decades ago.
Seabourn
Seabourn not only offers private tours to ports of call but also provides many other amenities for passengers. Prior to embarkation guests will be sent detailed emails which will include information on all dining options, activities and excursions. Seabourn has a number of spa options, including massages. There is also a fitness studio. The ship also offers onboard dining. After a day spent at sea, guests can go on shore excursions to experience some of the ship’s many amenities.
Celebrity Horizon
Celebrity Horizon was one of two newbuilds almost identical to the original. This ship was known for its extraordinary interiors and unique reception area concept. It was sold to Pullmantur 2017 but it's still unknown if it will return. If it does, the company will still be looking for a buyer. In the meantime, the Horizon is laid up in Eleusis Bay.
Port Everglades
Port Everglades is an important hub for shipping. It has a rich history of serving the shipping sector. Port Everglades is a major economic engine in South Florida, having been originally known as Lake Mabel. Port Everglades today generates almost $66 million annually in operating revenues and handles over 23 million tonnes of bulk, liquid and containerized cargo.
Port Tampa Bay

Enjoy the Tampa Riverwalk, as well as a variety of restaurants before you set out. If you're arriving late, you may want to stay closer to the Tampa International Airport.

FAQ
Are there any cheap accommodations available for travelers who are traveling abroad?
Hostels, hotels, guesthouses, and bed and breakfasts are all options for cheap accommodation.

Hotels are typically located in tourist areas.
Hostels are very similar to guesthouses but have more rooms and less people sharing them.

What should I put in my luggage?
You should always have at least two pairs of shoes. You need one pair for walking in the city; another pair to go on vacation.
A good idea is to make sure that you have enough clothes in both cases. If you are traveling by plane, you need to make sure you have an extra shirt, pants, underwear, and socks.
Consider bringing some clothes if you are planning to stay somewhere for a longer time. This will make it easier to go shopping for new outfits and won't make you feel uncomfortable.
Comfortable shoes are a must if you're going to be taking the train or bus. Also, if driving, bring extra tires.
You will also need to carry plenty of toiletries such shampoo, toothpaste (deodorant), moisturizer, and shampoo.
Finally, don't forget a flashlight, insect repellents, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and a first-aid kit.
You can put all of these items into one bag, rather than trying to stuff them in several bags. That way, you'll save time and space.
And finally, don't forget to pack a small towel and washcloth. They are very handy for when you need to shower after a long, tiring day.
Where should I store my luggage
There are many options. The most common one is to use lockers at airports. These are normally located near the security area. They can be purchased for between $5-10 per daily, depending upon the size of the locker.
You could also rent a storage facility. They are usually located outside of large shopping malls or hotels. While prices can vary, there are some places that offer discounts for multiple units being rented together.
A third option is to hire a porter. A porter will help carry your luggage from the carousel to your room. Each time he assists you, a small fee will be charged.
These are the things that you must remember when traveling.
When you travel, you'll find yourself in situations with little time to make decisions. Prepare to be flexible.
You might be stuck somewhere for hours, days, weeks, or even months. If you plan ahead you can have food and water, shelter, and a place for sleep. If you don't have a plan, you might have to make do.
These cases will likely require you to rely on the things you are most skilled at. That means making quick decisions based on instinct and experience.
Sometimes, however, you will not have any other choice. There are many situations where you might be left without cell or gas service, or even robbed. You will need to be flexible to any situation that presents itself.
The key to success is to stay calm, remain focused and act decisively. Don't panic. Instead, keep your eyes on the things you can control.
For example, if you're lost in the woods, you can choose which direction to go. You can also eat berries and mushrooms if you feel hungry. You can also drink rainwater and melt snow if you feel thirsty.
If you are tired, you can take a break. Wrap up warmly if it's cold. You can also change your clothes if you are wet. No matter what you do, it will make you feel better to stay positive.
