Because I knew they wouldn’t forget… I’m a birthday celebrity get me out to there.
The ‘there’ being the Bahamas which our friends at Celebrity Cruises had taken us to for the maiden voyage of Celebrity Edge.
On their tender, or boat, to give us sight of the islands.
Before turning right back without getting off.
Although, of course, getting back on board the $1m super cruise ship is never a hardship.
And also because they know how we flow Celebrity are luring us out again with a special birthday inducement.
Of a €50 saving per stateroom Ocean View, Veranda Concierge Class or Aqua Class €100 per stateroom saving or the Retreat stateroom €200 saving.
With the code BIRTHDAY to redeem.
Bahamian rhapsody
Our gaze fixed on Key West and the Bahamas, both of which have been on our horizon but honed out of view the nearer we got to them.
With suitcase packed and passport at the ready when the US shut the door behind them when Covid visited.
And this beardie missed out on his chance to walk in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway
And hook up with the second-most famous Glaswegian Billy Connolly, after myself, in his adopted land.
Celebrity is offering four nights on board Celebrity Summit.
Leaving from Fort Lauderdale from €365pp with up to 75 per cent off for a second guest and a saving of up to €700 per room.
As part of their Black Friday event with flight offers too.
While if you want to follow the other celebs to the Dom Rep.
Then Celebrity is also offering an Eastern Caribbean cruise from €365pp.
Happy Birthday to me
Now, as much as our cruise chums make us all feel unique we suspect that they are offering every one of their past clients this offer.
But, hey, we’ll keep the fantasy going because that’s what sailing on Celebrity is.
So you can keep your Aussie jungle, I’m a birthday celebrity get me out to there. To the Bahamas.
