The changing nature of cruise ship travel demands that new vessels include every amenity, including technology. When the just-christened Celebrity Eclipse sets sail on its maiden cruise in April, visitors will find an iLounge on deck six, complete with 26 MacBook Pro workstations, a full reseller store, a service bar and training on using Apple software. Passengers can check their e-mail or browse the Web, purchase Macs and iPods, get help with a glitchy Apple product, or learn how to make a photo book with iPhoto. The cruise line says its staff received 125 hours of training on Apple products in order to achieve reseller status, and will be ready to help novice and veteran Apple customers. Celebrity Cruise describes itself as designed for, “discerning cruisers, with modern, sophisticated environments, impeccable service, enriching and inspiring onboard programs, and world-class cuisine.” The first three-day cruise is April 26th from Southampton (UK), with summer 11 and 14-day cruises focus on France, Ireland, Germany and Scandinavia.
