* For Extra Dirty Passengers
On most lines, if you ask your stateroom attendant to draw you a bath, due to some difficulties with the language, they will probably dutifully return with a pad of paper and a pencil (or charcoal if you have premium accommodations). But thanks to a new luxury service on Norwegian Cruise Line, your butler will know just what to do.
* They Will Be Seeing Stars
Nothing but the best for passengers aboard Seabourn Sojourn’s world cruise (beginning January 4). Seabourn is bringing aboard four Michelin-starred chefs to not only demonstrate their expertise for passengers, but they will also be lending their signature touches to the menus.
As a special bonus, they will also be joining passengers socially on many occasions.

First Look at Dr Seuss Program aboard Carnival Cruise Lines
Dr Seuss-themed activities and characters will be added to most Carnival cruises by the end of 2014. The program will be introduced to kids and their parents at a themed breakfast on the first sea day. The themed activities will be available on all ships, but the Dr Seuss Bookville lounge will be added only to selected ships.
The video below, shot at the press launch, will give you an idea of the Green Eggs and Ham breakfast that will be presented the first sea day. (The cost will $5 per person, but it is the only activity for which there will be a charge.) It will feature whimsical Dr Seuss-themed food and a chance to meet the characters one-on-one.
