Big News! Cruising is Back and Vickie is Onboard As A Lecturer


I can't express in words how excited I am.  Things happen in mysterious ways.  

The other day I got an email from the agency that places cruise ship lecturers stating that Celebrity was looking for some lecturers.

First thing I checked was their mixed dose vaccine policy.  You see here in Canada many people have mixed dose vaccines.  I have two doses of Moderna, but Bernie got his first dose of Pfizer and his second dose is Moderna.  When I checked, Celebrity was not accepting guests with mixed vaccines.  This was Tuesday of last week.

Then Sunday night as I was laying in bed and we had just spent the weekend talking about travel and the possibilities.  But it seemed still far off.  

But as I lay there something told me to check Celebrity's sit again.  I like to believe it was my Mom guiding me.  And YES Celebrity had updated their vaccine requirements to accept mixed doses of Moderna and Pfizer.  

So I got up and went downstairs and sent in my request to apply for those Celebrity trips (3 of them).  My agent quickly responded and welcomed me back and stated he would be putting forth the applicants the next day!  He also stated he expected a quick decision since the sailings were so soon.  Boy he was so right.

The next day, Monday we were busy working the election all day so we had little time to check emails.  But when I got home I had been offered a back to back on Celebrity's Equinox.



Each cruise is a 9 night trip with stops in Nassau, Aruba, Curacao, and Bonaire.  

If you want to join me there are some amazing deals right now.  Our sailings will be October 20 and 29th.

Accepted a Canada New England Lecture Position



I am so excited that Celebrity Cruises has once again contracted me to work on two Canada New England Cruises.

It will be on board the Celebrity Summit. 






Both are round trip out of Boston, which is a city we love.  So we will be sure to head there a day or two early.

I am so pumped to be talking about this beautiful area.  Having just come off a Canada New England Itinerary where there was no port lecturer at all it was really missed by many.  There is so much history here.  So much culture, so many interesting stories and facts.

Plus we will get to stop in our hometown of Sydney again and then get to sail to my old home Province for an overnight in Quebec City.  

So if you are interested come and join me.
