I hope this message finds you well. I am truly looking forward to our upcoming Footsteps of Paul journey together in September 2027. It will be a meaningful time of fellowship, worship, and walking through the lands of Scripture.
I am writing to share an important update regarding our cruise with Celebrity on the Infinity.
When our group reservation was originally made, we were under the understanding that the Wi-Fi and Beverage Package would be optional. However, Celebrity Cruises has recently informed us that they are now requiring all guests booked within a group to include this package as part of their reservation.
While this is a change from what we initially expected, many travelers find that both the Wi-Fi and Beverage Package become a valuable part of their overall cruise experience. The Wi-Fi allows you to stay connected with family and friends while onboard, and the beverage package is often chosen by guests because it adds convenience and value throughout the journey.
I understand that this may still come as an unexpected adjustment, and we want to offer you flexibility in how you proceed. Rishon Tours has worked hard to advocate on behalf of our group and has secured the following options for you:
Option 1: Stay in the Group with Discounted Package
You may remain part of the group and add the required Wi-Fi and Beverage Package at a discounted rate of $575 per person (regularly $675). This fee will be added to your final payment.
This package includes:
- A Classic Beverage Package featuring sodas, bottled water, premium coffees and teas, juices, and a selection of beers, wines, and cocktails
- Access to Wi-Fi for one device per guest
- Non-alcoholic options are fully available for those who do not consume alcohol
Option 2: Book Outside the Group
You may choose to have Rishon Tours book your cabin separately through Celebrity Cruises. You would still be fully welcome to participate in all our group activities, tours, excursions, and spiritual gatherings, but your reservation would not be part of the official group block and therefore would not require the Wi-Fi and Beverage package.
Option 3: Cancel Without Penalty
If this change affects your ability to travel with us, you may cancel your reservation without penalty.
I know this is not the kind of update any of us hoped to receive, but I want to assure you that every effort has been made to provide fair and flexible solutions. Our desire is for you to feel comfortable and confident in your decision as we move forward.
Please take some time to consider these options, and feel free to reach out with any questions. There is a link below to a form. Please let us know which option you select on that form.
Thank you for your understanding, your grace, and your continued excitement for this journey. I am truly looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us as we walk together in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul.
