Celebrity Cruises: Would You Sail With Paula?


Two cruises next year featuring Paula Deen conducting onboard sessions in her Southern cooking styles are scheduled for the now-controversial kitchen diva.

Sponsored by the Alice Travel agency, a January sailing will be on the Celebrity Reflection. Another is tentatively planned in July 2014 aboard a yet-unnamed Royal Caribbean ship.

Many sponsors of the Paula Deen TV shows on the Food Network are falling all over each other to end their association with Paula. However, Alice Travel management and the cruise lines are staying with her well-established popularity, based on her previous highly successful cruise cooking programs.

Unhappy passengers won’t be forced to walk the plank if they do, but Carnival Cruise Lines now offers an opt-out. Unsatisfied, ill or frightened passengers can get off their cruise ship for free within one day of leaving port.

Carnival's "Great Vacation Guarantee," was recently established to assure passengers they don’t have to endure a troubled cruise, including when the ship has unexpected repair problems. If it happens, passengers must notify the ship's guest services desk that they want to end their cruise during its first 24 hours. If properly alerted, Carnival promises to return their money and send them home with free transportation.
