Families, Singles Get Ready to Set Sail
12/16/05
The leaves have turned, the days are shorter and Chanukah, the holiday of lights, glimmers ahead. With the winter looming, juicy possibilities await, with plenty of exotic, warm weather options. So go ahead and plan your first big escape of 2006. Or surprise a loved one by booking a post-Chanukah adventure. This might just be the trip of a lifetime.
Matchmaking
For singles preferring a little more advance notice and a kosher meal plan, the five-star Celebrity Infinity sets off from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for a Caribbean cruise with JSinglesCruise.com. The voyage features group parties; nightly shows with dancers, comedians, singers; Jewish entertainment; daily minyanim and Talmud study, and lectures, as well as the extravagant dining traditional to luxury cruises.
In addition, JSinglesCruise features daily mixers for singles in two groups, 20s-40s and 40s-60s, with special on-board guest Tova Weinberg, a SawYouAtSinai matchmaker who has made 90 matches. Confirmed bookings also include a 20-minute free precruise coaching session by phone with an experienced life coach.
The ship drops anchor in three ports: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. John, Antigua, and Philipsburg, St. Maarten. Like all leading cruise ships, Infinity offers an array of options for group excursions, including guided shopping, city tours, sightseeing, parties and sports. Most excursions last two to four hours and are available for purchase online up to 10 days prior to departure or during the cruise.
Maritime Kosher International supervises Celebrity's glatt kosher, award-winning gourmet cuisine. The menu, guided by world-renowned master chef Michel Roux, includes three daily sit-down meals, afternoon tea and midnight nosh.
Prices include accommodations, meals and on-board activities. Spa services, excursions and flight to Fort Lauderdale are extra.
Dates: Jan. 22-29
Cost: $1,500-$7,200
