ChempHatales Cruise

This is prepared for the veteran ChempHatales (that special group of Sisters that pioneered the ChempHatales Cruise in January 2010). It is also designed for review by ChempHatales Wanna-B’s that were not able to take the maiden voyage. You may forward this to prospective ChempHatales candidates that agree to the ChempHatales code of conduct [[See below in The History]] and are approved for membership in the Sisterhood.

This itinerary is totally different than our inaugural voyage January 2010 aboard the divine Celebrity Solstice – PLUS - Great news!  The rates are $200 USD per person lower than what everyone paid for Aqua Class this year!   Sharon from Cruise Planners (contact details below) is holding 24 Aqua Class cabins till November 10th of this year.   Rates will be guaranteed until then.

A US$250 per person deposit is required to hold a cabin.  As before, the deposits are 100% refundable up until final payment date.

Final payment is not due till Oct 15th, 2011.    (LOTS of time to save up for a completely prepaid week of pampering and celebrating)

For the newly initiated ChempHatales, the Celebrity Solstice is a beautiful ship and Celebrity is a premium cruise line with outstanding service and great food!   The ship was new in 2010 and has an amazing spa and everything else that women deserve!  It is the latest class of ship for Celebrity and has special staterooms called the Aqua Class.    Aqua Class staterooms are balcony staterooms located on Deck 11 (the Penthouse Deck) near the spa and provide specialized access to spa amenities, complimentary admission to Persian Gardens, complimentary seating at the specialty restaurant Blu, a Spa Concierge, a spacious bathroom, oversized towels, European luxury bedding, a pillow menu and more.

A limited number of suites are available on the same deck.  The rate for the Sky Suite is currently $2199 per person, based on double occupancy ($270 pp less than this year’s!).    

THE HISTORY:

The ChempHatales Sorority was founded on a cocktail napkin by a brilliantly creative and tipsy group one sultry summer night (actually, I stand corrected - it was actually a nippy November but my version sounds better) in Grand Bend.

From its inception the ChempHatales has been dedicated to a mission of passionate girl-friendship, fun, laughter, adventure and more laughter.

To honour one of our pHounder’s 50th birthday – the cruise adventure was decided on.
