Celebrity Cruises has announced plans to bring art historian, TV personality and syndicated newspaper columnist, “Dr Lori” onboard Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Equinox’s March 29, 2010 itinerary. During the cruise, guests will have the opportunity to find their own hidden treasures by having their antiques’ approximately valued, free of charge.

Dr Lori will be conducting a series of presentations as part of Celebrity Life, Celebrity Cruises’ onboard enrichment programme. Celebrity Life offers guests the opportunity to explore their tastes and enhance their knowledge, through three areas of focus: “Savour,” with a culinary and wine emphasis, “Discover,” with an educational/entertainment/language-learning focus and “Renew,” with a spa/wellness theme.

Guests planning to sail on the 29 March 2010 sailing are encouraged to bring personal items onboard. The daily in-stateroom newsletter will offer information about the times and locations of Dr Lori’s presentations.

The 11-night “Ultimate Caribbean” cruise departing Fort Lauderdale (Florida) on 29 March will call at George Town (Grand Cayman), Cartagena (Colombia), Colon (Panama), Puerto Limon (Costa Rica),  Roatan (Honduras) and Cozumel (Mexico) before returning to Fort Lauderdale (Florida).
