CELEBRITY CRUISES OFFERS SEVEN NIGHTS OF SPICE WITH "SAVOR THE CARIBBEAN" SERIES
MIAMI - September 28, 2004 - Celebrity Cruises and Bon Appétit magazine are bringing Caribbean spice to the high seas in 2005. For the second year, the two organizations will present the "Savor the Caribbean" series, pairing some of the nation's hottest chefs with one of the industry's highest-ranked ships, Celebrity's Millennium, on a special series of seven-night cruises.
This distinct culinary experience is a rare opportunity for guests to discover secrets from the kitchens of some of the top chefs with a noted Caribbean flair. The celebrated chefs include:
* Allen Susser, whose namesake restaurant "Chef Allen's," has been hailed the best restaurant south of New York. Susser also was named Best Chef in the Southeast by the James Beard Foundation.
* Carmen Gonzalez, owner and chef of "Carmen the Restaurant," who has been astonishing palates for more than 20 years. Her restaurant was recently named "one of the best new restaurants in America" by Esquire magazine.
* Robbin Haas, chef of Coral Gables, Florida's newest hotspot, "Chispa." Haas, a constant in Miami's dining scene for more than 15 years, has been involved with such venues as "China Grill Café," "Red Square" and "Baleen."
* Cindy Hutson, who has developed her own culinary style, "Cuisine of the Sun," featuring creative combinations of fish, fruit, vegetables and traditional tropical seasonings. Her delightful entrees can be found at her restaurant, "Ortanique on the Mile."
* Mark Militello, who has been credited for putting South Florida on the culinary map. Chef Militello has been serving up his distinctive cuisine since 1988 and now has four "Mark's" restaurants in South Florida.
* Oliver Saucy, chef of "Café Maxx," who is known for selecting the best and freshest ingredients from Mediterranean, tropical, "Southern Comfort," Southwestern and Oriental market baskets, then combines them with the local bounty of spices, fruits, vegetables and seafood.
* Jessica Harris, who is a culinary historian and author of eight acclaimed cookbooks, including her latest, "On the Side," coming out this fall.
Onboard Millennium, guests can participate in demonstrations by the featured chef, daily culinary activities, Caribbean themed deck parties and Bacardi rum tastings and lectures. They also will receive a keepsake recipe booklet from Bon Appétit.
Additionally, guests can book shore excursions offering the rare opportunity to take cooking lessons capped with specially prepared meals made by some of the islands' most famous chefs. In Nassau, guests will have the chance to work with Chef Elijah Bowe of the Graycliff Restaurant and learn how to prepare a typical Bahamian lunch of conch chowder, lobster salad and apple crumble.
While in St. Thomas, guests can join a cooking class with Chef Brian Katz, named Best Chef in the Virgin Islands in 2004, at his 215-year-old plantation-turned-restaurant. There, guests will experience a tantalizing pairing of Caribbean rums and local fare.
Shore excursions can be purchased online up to 10 days prior to sailing, as well as onboard, if space remains available.
The "Savor the Caribbean" series will take place onboard Celebrity's Millennium from February 6 through March 27, 2005. Departing from Ft. Lauderdale on Sundays, the ship will call on Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas and Nassau, Bahamas.
