Ready, Steady, Cruise

Cruises in general and cruise lines in particular have always been known for a love of food. Whether its putting a stone on by the end of your cruise from an over indulgence at the buffet bar, or relaxing at some of the speciality restaurants that have become so common place, cruise lines have always catered for all tastes.

However, Celebrity may have just taken thins one step further.
The Cruise line has teamed up with US broadcaster the Food Network to offer the world's first Food Network at Sea program.
As part of the package, which will be offered onboard the Celebrity Solstice as it departs on Eastern Caribbean sailing this August, passengers will be given bespoke demonstrations of some of the networks favourite recipes.
More important still, they will get the chance to sample some of the food and enjoy VIP treatment at the welcome reception party arranged especially for the passengers.
"We know our guests enjoy cooking and great dining experiences, and many are followers of chefs such as those featured on this sailing, so this is a perfect pairing," commented Dan Hanrahan, Celebrity's chief executive and president.
Do you have a favourite chef you would like to see on board?
Are you not too fussed about the direction cruise lines are taking with their food?
Let me know what you think here.

Happy Cruising
