7 NIGHTS — STAR OF THE SEAS
75 & Thriving: Shirley’s Birthday Cruise Experience
Shirley’s 75th Birthday Bash at Sea is not just a cruise. It’s a milestone celebration you absolutely do not want to miss. Seventy-five years of life, legacy, laughter, and impact deserve more than a dinner… they deserve the ocean breeze, island sunsets, unforgettable excursions, and the people who matter most.
This celebration will feature a high-energy welcome mixer to kick things off, exciting island tours and excursions, beautiful dinners filled with connection and joy, a special birthday celebration honoring Shirley in grand style, and a glamorous Harlem Nights theme night where elegance meets grown-and-sexy vibes.
Imagine days exploring breathtaking ports, relaxing sea days soaking up the sunshine, nights dressed to impress, music playing, glasses clinking, and laughter echoing across the deck. This isn’t just another vacation — it’s a legacy moment, a reunion, a party at sea, and the kind of experience where you’ll either be on the ship celebrating… or watching the photos later wishing you had come.
Milestones like this don’t happen every day, and once the cabins are filled and the ship sails away, there will be no replay. Don’t miss your chance to be part of something joyful, meaningful, and unforgettable, a once-in-a-lifetime celebration honoring 75 incredible years of Shirley’s life, legacy, and love. Payment plans are available through our booking system.

TRAVEL INSURANCE:
Don't let unexpected events ruin your trip! Picture this -- you've saved, planned, and dreamed of your perfect vacation. Suddenly, illness strikes, your flight gets canceled, or lost luggage turns your expensive trip into a clothing crisis. Travel mishaps can happen, leaving you scrambling for solutions and facing hefty bills.
"Here's why your travel insurance is important."
Peace of Mind: Knowing you're covered for trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and even delays gives you the freedom to relax and truly enjoy your adventure. No more worrying about "what ifs" – just pure vacation bliss.
Financial Protection: Unexpected events can be costly. Travel insurance reimburses you for covered expenses, so you won't be left footing the bill for a canceled flight or a medical emergency abroad.
More Than Just Emergencies: Some policies offer additional perks, such as rental car damage coverage, trip interruption benefits, and even coverage for adventure sports.
You might say, My credit card covers me. Credit card coverage might have limitations, so compare it carefully to your needs.
Should you decide not to purchase travel insurance, you must sign a waiver assuming total financial liability in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
Your travel agent cannot be held financially responsible in the case of canceled or missed flights, delayed or lost luggage, cancellations due to illness, loss of a loved one, trip interruptions, or emergency evacuation.
Please note that the cost of travel insurance is added to the total deposit amount. Insurance cost is NONREFUNDABLE.
