What is the Celebrity Cruise Experience? 什麼是名人郵輪經驗？
Defining what differentiates the Celebrity cruise experience from others lines in a similar price range can be difficult to quantify.界定什麼區別名人郵輪經驗，從其他線路在一個類似的價格範圍，可難以量化。 Our travel agent described it as an air of sophistication that positions Celebrity Cruise Lines between the mass market cruise and the luxury cruise.我國旅行社形容這是空氣的精細程度陣地名人巡航線之間的大眾市場遊輪和豪華遊輪。 We told him that we had been on Holland America 10 years before, and that from word of mouth we didnt think Carnival was right for us.我們告訴他，我們一直對荷蘭，美國10年前，並從口耳相傳，我們的didn't認為嘉年華是個正確的抉擇。 He indicated that if we like Holland America, we would probably like Celebrity, but it was still kind of hard to quantify what we were looking for.他表示，如果我們喜歡荷蘭，美國，我們可能會像名人，但它仍是一種很難量化什麼，我們正在尋找。 Perhaps the Celebrity slogan �be treated famously� summed it up best.也許是名人的口號對待著名歸納了最好的。
