The Ship and Cabins The luxury ‘Explorer of the Seas’ is from the deluxe ‘Voyager’ classification of ships owned by Celebrity Cruises – part of Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. This is what they say about the ship: This ship is a revolutionary marvel of naval engineering. Enjoy one-of-a-kind features like an ice-skating rink, the Royal Promenade and a rock-climbing wall, just for starters. How did we accommodate all of these innovative ideas? Simple. We built a bigger cruise ship. The 138,000-ton, 3,114-guest Voyager of the Seas became the world's largest cruise ship when it entered service in November 1999. Innovations on this and other Voyager-family ships add up to more space for every guest, and include enhanced staterooms, expanded dining options and exceptional recreational facilities. All of the Ladbrokes Poker cabins are guaranteed as ocean view with balconies, a limited number of suites will be available on a first come first served basis for qualifiers who wish to upgrade. Travel Allowance All qualifiers will have the $1,700 travel allowance credited to their Ladbrokes Poker account. The qualifier will be responsible for arranging return flights and hotel accommodation (for themselves and guest) in New York for the night of 24th January 2008. Please note that passengers are required to stay in the New York area on this night. Ladbrokes Poker’s Event Management Team will endeavour to ensure that all qualifiers receive information on flight options, and suitable hotel availability within differing price bands, as information becomes available. For players qualifying before the end of February 2007, travel allowance credits to Ladbrokes Poker accounts will be made in March 2007. This will be the time when flights to New York become available for purchase. See terms and conditions for more details.
