For 30-year-old James Bishai,
style has no age.
That’s why the South End
fashion designer launched
Watchout! Designs, a company
that offers retro watches and
apparel that he describes as “an
explosion of neon and colors.”
“There is definitely a return
to people trying to find some-
thing fun and unique to stand
out. It doesn’t matter your age,”
said Bishai, who’s as comfort-
able wearing a Mickey Mouse
sweater at the bar as he was
wearing it in the schoolyard.
Bishai is one of a growing
number of grown-ups who
aren’t afraid to let their inner
kid shine through in their duds
— and as the trend grows, the
likelihood that they will draw
criticism for going out on a
fashion limb shrinks.
“People are definitely dress-
ing more youthful at an older
age,” said Jay Calderin, creator
of Boston Fashion Week and
the director of creative market-
ing at the School of Fashion De-
sign in Boston. “I think the key
to it — it’s just like anything
else — there is a certain level
you can apply to your life. If
you go overboard, you feel kind
of silly. But if you hit that mid-
dle ground, it can be sort of
fun.”
For Bishai, that means
adding a dash of color to an
otherwise boring, but work-
place appropriate, outfit.
“I have a lot of friends that
will wear one or two items to
add a touch of something
unique, like a Watchout! watch
and yellow shoes,” Bishai said.
For Calderin, it’s all about
empowerment: “I think when
you’re in your teens and early
20s, you’re forging your identi-
ty — and when you get older
that tends to get lost. It’s great
now people are empowered
about getting that back.”
Call it retro, campy, kitschy,
colorful — dressing like a kid
is not just for kids anymore

‘Pats for Patriots’
sends heroes to
yesterday’s game
In honor of Veterans Day, 15 members of the military and their guests were
treated to a free tickets and a ride to yesterday’s New England Patriots game
against the Buffalo Bills. “Pats For Patriots,” a partnership between Massachu-
setts Bay Commuter Rail and Military Friends Foundation honoring
Massachusetts veterans, sent the group to Gillette Stadium. A moment of si-
lence was observed at 11 a.m. aboard the Gold Star Memorial coach, which
bears the name of locals killed while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. METRO

Sarah Keller Likins of the Military Friends Foundation gave Patriots gear to Patricia and Nicholas Corsini,

Officials: Allston
fire was arson
BOSTON. Fire investigators
yesterday ruled an early
morning two-car fire in
Allston was arson. At 7:49
a.m., the Boston Fire Depart-
ment responded to a blaze in
a garage on Long Avenue
near Glenville Avenue.
Officials described the
garage as “a cinder block
building,” and said that two
cars — a Honda Civic and an
Acura — were fully engulfed
in what they called a “stub-
born” fire. Investigators later
announced that it was inten-
tionally set. There were no
injuries. METRO

be gleaned, somehow, from
all of the apparent chaos, just
as a mind can find music in
the unrelated sounds of a city

Boston ups detective
ranks amid murders
Promotions follow multiple changes to command staff this year
Police say it has more to do with balancing ratio with patrol officers
Just days after Police Com-
missioner Ed Davis said that
the nearly 50 percent spike
in homicides this year over
last year can be attributed
to a rise in drug crime, 11
officers will be promoted to
detective Friday.
“We’ve seen people
who have long drug histo-
ries who have been killed
in sort of a quiet, back-al-
ley type of location. That’s
consistent with someone
who is being targeted be-
cause of their activity in
the narcotics field,” Davis
told the Globe.
A police spokeswoman
said that the promotions
were an effort to balance
out the ratio of investiga-
tors to patrol officers. A re-
cruit class of 90 new patrol
officers is expected to en-
ter the police academy lat-
er this month.
“The new detectives
will be assigned to various
assignments citywide,”
said Elaine Driscoll, a de-
partment spokeswoman.
The department has al-
so experienced a number
of command staff changes
this year with Davis de-
moting the supervisors of
the gang and drug units
and a change of command
in the criminal investiga-
tions division.
The promotions will
take place during a cere-
mony at police headquar-
ters this morning.

THE WORD: NIC’S PICS: ENTERTAINMENT:

Leighton Meester’s been
enjoying the high fashions
and catty one-liners of
“Gossip Girl,” now in its
fourth season. But with her
recently announced inten-
tions to leave the show
when her contract is up,
the 24-year-old actress and
singer is busy cultivating a
2011 film roster — starting
with “Country Strong,” fea-
turing Meester as an up-
start country singer nip-
ping at the heels of a trou-
bled, fresh-out-of-rehab su-
perstar (Gwyneth Paltrow).
Your character, Chiles
Stanton, is the butt of a lot of
jokes in the movie.
I think she’s sassy and
she’s sweet and she has a
lot of good qualities, but a
lot of her insecurities al-
low for other people to
walk all over her a bit.
And she’s very naive,
which is not a part of my
personality — or at least,
not as much as I’d like it
to be.
With Chiles being an up-
and-comer, audiences might
assume she’s going to do
some backstabbing.
I think it’s silly and sort of
sad that people do that.
But I mean, obviously
there is a threat between
these two characters and
rightfully so. But it’s just
like being on set with
Gwyneth. I’m never trying
to be anything but just do
well on my own. And she
makes everyone better.
After singing some country
tunes for the movie, is it
something you’d consider
for your next album?
You know, it definitely has
inspired me in the way I
write music and the way I
play music and appreciate
it. Doing this movie was a
wonderful introduction
and made me fall in love
with that type of music,
but I don’t necessarily
know, you know? Actually,
since the movie, it’s really
inspired me to kind of go
in a different direction. So
between country and pop,
I kind of go through the
middle.

Twenty-three games into the 2010-11 season, the C’s are the best in the East
They’ve compiled their 19-4 record in impressive fashion
But the surefire NBA Finals contenders might have an Achilles’ heel
Kevin Garnett and the Celtics visit the Knicks tomorrow night (7 p.m., ESPN, WEEI).
The good,
the bad and
the Celtics
T
he Celtics are going
streaking! No, not
through the quad
and to the gymnasi-
um. But green hats are sug-
gested.
The C’s have run off 10
straight wins, and hold the
best record in the East at
19-4. The most impressive
part about the record is
that it’s come with their
offseason acquisitions
spending the majority of
their time on the bench.
Aside from the surprise
production from Shaquille
O’Neal, the C’s hopes of
stacking the roster with
big free agents hasn’t
worked out as planned. Jer-
maine O’Neal has been
nonexistent, and Delonte
West has missed all but
five games due to a 10-
game suspension and a
broken right wrist.
That said, the wins have
still come. Here’s the good
— and the bad — just past
the quarter pole.
THE GOOD: BEATING UP THE NBA’S BEST
No fluff in the Celtics’
conference-best record
T
he Celtics aren’t
just beating up on
the NBA’s healthy
contingent of
mediocre teams.
They’re 9-2 against
squads with a .500 record
or better at the time of
play — the only team in
the Eastern Conference
with a winning record in
that category.
Among their victories
are signature wins over
contenders like the Mia-
mi Heat, the Chicago
Bulls, the Denver Nuggets
and the Atlanta Hawks.
The C’s have won big,
too. They have eight dou-
ble-digit wins on the year,
and they’ve yet to be beat-
en by double digits.

THE BAD: INJURIES ARE MOUNTING
Bet you never thought
you’d see Erden playing
T
he regular season
is just about a
quarter over, and
Boston still has
some issues to resolve.
Most notably, there’s
those injury woes.
No-name rookie Semih
Erden, a former Turkish
leaguer, has been thrust
into the starting role at
center.
And Rajon Rondo has
been hampered by his
hamstring. He was one
minute short of playing
the entire game in last
Thursday’s one-point win
over the Philadelphia
76ers — he feared leaving
the game would tighten
up the hammy.

#1 DAILY NEWSPAPER IN BOSTON PROPER
When did you know that
you wanted to work in print
media?
I got my first article pub-
lished when I was 10, in
the community newspaper.
When I realized I was get-
ting paid for it, I knew it
was the career for me. I just
wanted to support myself
doing something I loved.
When did you discover the
magazine industry?
When I was 11, I did my
own magazine that I deliv-
ered to the neighbors. I
would photocopy it and
drop it off to all the people
on the street. I actually sent
it to the Queen of England,
and I got a letter back from
her lady-in-waiting. I’m
sure she didn’t actually
read it, but it did very
much inspire me.
What advice would you give
to an 11-year-old today who
wanted to edit Marie Claire?
I would tell them to read
and look at all the best
magazines you can find.
My favorite thing is to
spend time in European
newsagents just picking up

The real value of internships
I
nternships are manda-
tory for job search suc-
cess, regardless of
industry or profession.
Without internship experi-
ence, you’re seen as a risk to
companies that are looking
to hire graduates that have
already put their education
to use. A study by Aerotek, a
leading staffing provider, re-
ports that 57 percent of
adults would recommend
an internship to make get-
ting a post-graduate job eas-
ier. Furthermore, 55
percent of those who held
internships found their cur-
rent job through network-
ing. Getting your first
internship will be the most
challenging, because em-
ployers will be looking for a
track record. Here are some
tricks to scoring your first
— or next — internship:
Use your current network
Your best chance at landing
an internship is to ask your
family and friends to hire
you or to refer you to some-
one else. When you ask
them for help, make sure
you’re specific with the type
of field you want to go into
— and don’t be picky if it’s
paid or unpaid. The most
important thing you can do
now is to get some experi-
ence under your belt. Your
family and friends are your
trusted allies and can help
you open doors.
Tap into your college
career center
Most students ignore their
career centers, which are
there to support internship
searches. As long as you’re a
student with good stand-
ing, advisors will be willing
to help you by introducing
you to alumni. Reach out to
them to schedule an ap-
pointment and then inquire
about any alumni that
would be interested in
meeting.
Advice
PERSONALBRANDINGBLOG.COM
DAN
SCHAWBEL
Connect with
people online
I recommend that you
search for industry-
leading professionals
that you revere and
reach out to them per-
sonally to ask if you
can do work for them.
Instead of asking for
money, ask for an
opportunity to
contribute to whatever
project they’re working
on. Your effort, and atti-
tude, might turn into
an internship. You can
also search postings at
sites such as
Internships.com and
Collegerecruiter.com.
Internships provide
real-world experience that
will be priceless when you
start your job search.

Romantic comedies are
nothing new for Reese
Witherspoon, but her role
in James L. Brooks’ new
film, “How Do You Know,”
presented some interest-
ing challenges. “This char-
acter is a woman who has
a hard time conveying her
emotions — and doesn’t
even really want to talk
about things,” Wither-
spoon says of professional
softball player, Lisa.
“The biggest challenge
for me was she’s not verbal,
and I’m used to playing real-
ly talkative characters —
women who speak about
their relationships and talk
about love and dynamics
and boys with their girl-
friends,” the actress ex-
plains. “So that was a new
character for me and really
interesting.”
The film — which was
shot right here in Philly last
year — follows Lisa as her
affections pinball between a
commitment-phobic base-
ball player (Owen Wilson)
and an honest-to-a-fault
businessman (Paul Rudd).
“It’s a tough job, ladies, but
someone’s got to do it,” she
says of working with Wil-
son and Rudd. “How lucky
am I to work with two of
the most talented, funny, at-
tractive, hysterical men?”
On set, Witherspoon found
her own feelings mirroring
that of her character. “Every
time we’d do a scene with
Owen I’d get really attached
to Owen, and then I go and
do scenes with Paul and I
felt like I was cheating on
Owen,” she says.
While she’s not much of
a jock herself, Wither-
spoon did find an angle on
getting into the mind of a
professional athlete who
faces some of the same ca-
reer limitations that can
plague actresses in youth-
obsessed Hollywood. “It’s
sort of a parallel to being
an actor — especially as a
woman,” she says. “I mean,
I don’t even know how I’m
supposed to say this, but
we have a time that is our
time that we work, and we
work a lot. And then hope-
fully you shift and you’re
able to become the Meryl
Streeps or the Diane
Keatons or whatever and
continue working.”
Physically
demanding
rom-com
role? Not an
oxymoron
Though there are only a
handful of scenes in the
film in which Lisa is on
the field, Witherspoon
says Brooks wanted to
get every detail right
when it came to
softball. “I got to work
with all these
Olympians, softball
players,” she says.
“I’m not really that
athletic. So I did that
for four months, three
hours a day. I’m still
not any good at
softball,” she admits.

Justin Dowd from Worcester,
Mass., has won the Race for
Space, the global competition
to select one Metro reader to
travel into space.
Dowd, 22, beat thousands of
candidates from across the
globe to win a the coveted once-
in-a-lifetime ticket on board
XCOR Lynx, the first generation
rocket-powered spaceplane cur-
rently being built by leading
spaceflight company SXC.
Dowd has both the mental
and physical smarts needed to
be a perfect astronaut. Dowd,
a physics and maths under-
graduate at Boston’s North-
eastern University, wowed the
judging panel with his stun-
ning chalkboard stop motion
video on Einstein’s theory of
relativity. Meanwhile, Dowd
has been training for a gruel-
ing 12-mile endurance obsta-
cle course race.
“My motivation for him is
that he really provides an
amazing package in the com-
bined qualities of scientific
background, artistic qualities,
dedication and the gift to tell
a fascinating story,” Harry Van
Hulten, test pilot with SXC
and global jury member that
selected Dowd.
“He is absolutely unique.
He taught me things in his
video that I didn’t understand
as well as I do now. He really
blew me away with that. I
can’t think of any better am-
bassador to tell the story about
this space trip than him.”
Dowd will receive astro-
naut training ahead of the
trip scheduled for 2014. The
“civilian astronaut” will be
able to chronicle his prepara-
tions and space flight itself in
a series of reports published
in Metro across the globe.
In reacting to the news,
Dowd told Metro, “I’m the
luckiest guy in the world and
for about 20 minutes, I’ll be the
luckiest guy in outer space!”
Dowd added that it’s “an
absolute honor” to be the part
of the world’s first space mis-
sion to be launched by a news-
paper. “To say this is a once-in-
a-lifetime event is an under-
statement. This is the first
time ever this sort of mission
is happening and I am elated
to be a part of history.”

You might still be focusing
on making it through the
winter, but the time to start
thinking about enrolling
your child in summer camp
is already in full swing. With
so many options out there,
it can be tough to make
these decisions. Alan Saltz,
director of summer camp
programs at the 92nd Street
Y in New York City, is here
to help.
Camping. Alan
Saltz, the director
of New York City’s
92nd Street Y’s Camp
program, shares his
30-plus years of camp
experience to let
parents know what
they should be asking.
There are an estimated 12,000 summer camps in the United States. Make sure you pick the right one. / MARK JENKINSON

How can a parent ﬁgure
out if their child is ready for
sleepaway camp?
If they’ve had sleepovers at
friend’s houses, or have been
away from home for a short
period of time, they can gauge
how they’ve done in those
situations. There are a lot of
two-week options out there
now, which is good for a lot of
kids. Most kids start at 8 or 9.
How do you recommend
that a parent begin to
research camps?
It’s a long process. There are
camp fairs that are offered
on a regular basis. This gives
a parent the opportunity to
see a number of camps in
one afternoon and meet with
the directors. I recommend
they talk not just about the
activities and facilities, but
talk about the staff, camp
philosophy. Every camp has
its own little narrative about
who they are and what they
stand for; it’s important.
Do you have advice for how
parents can prepare kids?
Once they’ve made that
decision, parents should have
a running narrative with
their kids about how much
fun they’re going to have.
They should also address any
concerns the kids have. They
should also stay away from
saying things like “I’m going
to miss you so much.”
Quoted
“Every camp has its own
little narrative about who
they are and what they
stand for; it’s important.”

Camp 101
What’s the best part of
the camp experience for
kids? Why should parents
be interested?
It gives kids an opportunity
to develop skills and inter-
ests and abilities in areas
that aren’t focused on in
schools. It’s a less threat-
ening environment. They
can make friends and take
risks in a safe environment.

no fear: Next year’s Academy

Fourth time is the charm?
Jesse James has tied the
knot for wedding No. 4,
marrying drag racer Alexis
DeJoria in Malibu this week-
end after dating for less
than two months, accord-
ing to Star magazine. James’
most recent marriage, to
Sandra Bullock, ended
in divorce in 2010 after
publicly humiliating her
with his infidelity. DeJoria
seems more forgiving —
and totally loaded. She’s the
daughter of billionaire Paul
Mitchell co-founder John
Paul DeJoria, who also
helped launched Patron
tequila and the House of
Blues nightclub chain.
“Jesse’s always had a
man-crush on John Paul,
and what better way to
get close to him than
to get hitched to his
daughter?” a source says.
“But this marriage will be
his fourth. If I were John
Paul — after what Jesse
put Sandra through
— I’d be warning him
up front that when it
comes to Alexis, he’d
better watch his butt.”
But hey: free tequila.
Amiright?

on the ‘Michael’
album?
Although the cover of “Michael” features idealized versions of
the King of Pop, does the music within present the same picture?
COURTESY OF EPIC RECORDS
A
rriving in stores to-
day, a year and a
half after his death,
is Michael Jackson’s
first posthumous album,
“Michael.” A lineup of
guests like Lenny Kravitz,
Akon and 50 Cent — along
with superstar producers
such as Teddy Riley and
Tricky Stewart — have all
been tapped to contribute
to the 10-song CD. But even
with that healthy dose of
star power, can a Michael
Jackson album be good
without the star of the
show?
A work-in-progress at the
time of the superstar’s
death, the project has not
been without controversy.
Overseen by the Jackson es-
tate, “Michael” takes tracks
that were in various states
of completion and puts
them in the hands of Jack-
son’s collaborators to fin-
ish. will.i.am of the Black
Eyed Peas has said that fin-
ishing the project without
Jackson is “disrespectful.”
A Michael Jackson album
without his input could be
a disaster for his legions of
fans eagerly awaiting the
CD, especially since the
King of Pop was known for
his attention to detail. But
there are some who are op-
timistic.
“It’s not like they found
a bunch of old records and
decided to put out an al-
bum to make money. These
are songs he was involved
with,” explains Pup Dawg,
the music director at JAMN
94.5 in Boston.
The real question will
be: Does it live up to Jack-
son’s other work?
Some within the indus-
try are still skeptical. But
many fans won’t care, and
their curiosity will drive
them to the store or online
— a troubled Michael Jack-
son album is better than
none at all, to them.
“The song with Lenny
Kravitz is a Michael record.
That just feels like a
Michael Jackson record,”
says Geespin, assistant pro-
gram director for New
York’s Power 105.1 radio
station. “Truth is, I’d rather
hear music from the
biggest and best artists
than not hear it. It’s still
Michael. It’s still the biggest
artist of all time. Would you
rather not hear it?”

and almost escapist, like
“Island in the Sun” and
“Hash Pipe.” And listening
to the recently released
deluxe edition of “Pinker-
ton” with rare acoustic ver-
sions of devastating songs
like “Why Bother?”, one
has to wonder if Cuomo
thinks he ever reached
down so deeply again in his
songwriting.
“Yes. I do,” he says before
a long pause. “But — I
know some of our core fans
would get upset when I say
something like this — but I
feel like ‘Beverly Hills’ was
an extremely honest and
deep song, and they take it
to be the opposite, which
has always perplexed me.”
doubts, maybe it will totally
fail and sell half as much as
‘The Blue Album’ or some-
thing,” says Cuomo. “And it
came out and sold a tenth
of ‘The Blue Album’ —
which, in those days, was
an incredible drop. And it
wasn’t just commercial, but
the critics pretty uniformly
hated it. And it was just the
beginnings of online feed-
back too, so you could go
on Amazon and see all the
negative feedback from the
fans of the first record. And
boy, that was just crushing
for me, all of that together.
And it took awhile to build
up the confidence to even
step back in the spotlight
again.”
During the band’s hiber-
nation, fans began to take
to the brash sounds and
emotional lyrics of “Pinker-
ton,” and the album ar-
guably became responsible
for the advent of the genre
known as emo. But when
Cuomo did step back into
that spotlight, Weezer
emerged as something of
an armored unit, with an
arsenal of songs that mostly
seemed to be short, poppy
The first phase of Weez-
er’s career is an embat-
tled one for singer Rivers
Cuomo. With their self-ti-
tled 1994 debut, they
achieved instant and mas-
sive buzz based on their
fun singles and silly videos,
which MTV played on
heavy rotation. (Yes, it was
a different era, kids. Videos
on MTV!) But the band’s
shallow success wasn’t
enough for Cuomo. So with
the band’s second album,
“Pinkerton,” he got more
personal, and hoped critics
and fans would follow him
into the deep end. They
didn’t — at least not right
away — and it would be
five years before anyone
would hear another note
from the band.
“I guess part of me as-
sumed that it was going to
be very successful and I’d
become like this superstar,
because the record was so
focused on me. And I prob-

mycruising
Cruise ships provide a total
vacation experience. Once
aboard the vessel, dining,
sleeping and entertainment
options are planned out in
entirety. For a cruise vaca-
tioner, sometimes the most
important planning lies in
choosing the ship itself.
There are some two dozen
different cruise lines serv-
ing the States. Like hotels
and restaurants, cruises are
graded by star, indicating
ships’ relative luxuries.
Five star: Five-star cruises
are not necessarily the best
— but they are usually the
most exclusive, and, result-
ingly, expensive. Five-star
lines — such as Crystal and
Princess — cater to the
most discriminating pas-
sengers.
Four star: These ships’
amenities will all be slight-
ly less — including the
price. Rooms tend to be a
bit smaller, but there is usu-
ally more attention to ship-
board activities and the
clientele trends younger.
Three star: Meet the bread
and butter of the cruise in-
dustry. Passengers can ex-
pect a fairly good value for
the cost.
Two star: These “econo-
my” lines are generally
more sparse in every way
from the above cruises —
meaning they are less ex-
pensive, smaller and more
crowded.
Set your vacation on

Planning a family vacation can be a daunting experience when trying to
accommodate the entire clan Cruise ships offer a one-stop shop, complete
with luxury, entertainment — and an exorbitant amount of food
The 130,000-ton Carnival Dream — Carnival Cruise Lines’ newest and largest ship — sits off the coast of Monaco, ready to patrol the waters of the Caribbean.

Before you go!
Check the weather: To a
certain extent, this is an
impossible request. Cruise
planning often occurs
months before the voyage,
so there’s not much to be
done if, let’s say, a hurricane
decides to breeze on by (as it
did on this intrepid re-
porter’s last cruise excur-
sion). Still, it never hurts to
be prepared.
Motion in the ocean: Prone
to motion sickness? Pack
some Dramamine. Duh.
Do your homework: The
most important thing to find
is what will fit your own per-
sonal tastes. World Ocean &
Cruise Liner Society
(www.wocls.org) is a good
place to start.
The newly built Carnival
Dream is the newest
member of what the
company has branded its
“Fun Ship Fleet.”
For the kids
In addition to the
Dream’s “Camp Carn-
ival” play area — includ-
ing age-targeted arts and
crafts, and video game
stations — the ship
sports a 303-foot-long wa-
ter slide, an 18-hole mini
golf course, basketball
and volleyball courts, and
a variety of contests and
group parties.
Adult fun
Performances — comedy
acts and Vegas-style
revues — complement
karaoke, live music and
casinos. Night-time
laser light shows
rock Pink Floyd
and Styx.

Tropical islands
not all the same
It’s a common misconcep-
tion that Caribbean cruis-
es and itineraries are pret-
ty much the same. Each is-
land and has its own per-
sonality and style some de-
rived from their colonial
culture, others from their
geography. It’s quite possi-
ble to take as many as four
or five Caribbean cruises
and repeat very few is-
lands — and have a com-
pletely different experi-
ence on each.
One-week Caribbean
cruises come in three dis-
tinct flavors: Eastern,
Western and Southern.
Short cruises of less than
a week generally include
ports in the Bahamas and
sometimes Key West, Fla.
The Eastern Caribbean is
often the choice of first-
time cruisers and those
veterans who relish more
at-sea days with generally
three or four ports of call.
In addition to sun-
splashed beaches fringed
with palm
trees, the East-
ern Caribbean
appeals to
shoppers en-
ticed by luxury
goods and duty-free
prices in places like St.
Thomas, St. Martin and
San Juan.
The Western Caribbean of-
fers the best options for
water-sports enthusiasts
as it is considered the best
for snorkeling and scuba
diving. Typical Western
Caribbean ports include
Key West, Jamaica, Belize,
Grand Cayman and
Cozumel.
Southern Caribbean
cruises afford the choice
of more island destina-
tions-— usually as many
as five, which often also
means fewer days at sea.
A Southern Caribbean
cruise is generally longer,
often 10 to 12 nights.
San Juan is also a
popular embarka-
tion port for ships
on Southern
Caribbean itiner-
aries, which often
make stops in
many destinations
like Martinique, Do-
minica and Grenada.
And not to be forgot-
ten, winter cruises to
the Mexican Riviera are
also very popular as
they offer the allure of
warm temperatures,
beaches and plenty of
shopping.

Beware sea
monsters!
When Royal Caribbean’s
Allure of the Seas is
launched in November, it
will share the accolade of
biggest cruise ship in the
world with its sister, Oa-
sis of the Seas. These sea
monsters weigh in at
225,000 tons and carry up
to 6,300 passengers and
2,160 crew (now that's a
party!). Since they’re so
large, they can’t visit
every port of call, but
Puerto Rico, St. Thomas
and Jamaica have built
new piers in order to host
them. METRO/DR
The world of cruising can be
daunting to one who has
never experienced the joy of
sitting on a sunny deck and
sipping frozen beverages.
For cruise virgins, Jeanne
Wyndrum, senior vice presi-
dent of Cruise.com, shares
these tips.
Find out
what’s included
A lot of people have mis-
conceptions about what
they will need to cover.
What is included: Meals,
entertainment and accom-
modations. What is addi-
tional once you get on
board: soft drinks and alco-
hol, spa treatments, shore
excursions, certain dining
experiences, the Internet
and gratuities. Those
are the additions
you should be
ready for when
you get the bill at the end
of the trip.
Be prepared
Have all proper documen-
tation when you get to
port. They are being very
strict nowadays so be sure
your name
matches
your documentation ex-
actly. If not, you could be
denied boarding. Since
most cruises now require
that you preregister online,
this is a good time to make
sure your passport isn’t ex-
pired and all of your paper-
work is in order.
Do your research
Learn about ports you will
visit. Most importantly, see
how far the port city is
from the city center, as
that makes all the differ-
ence of what kind of expe-
rience you will have. For
instance, if you are going
to Rome, you’ll find that
the port is far from the
center of the city, so you
might want to prepur-
chase a shore excursion. It
will save you time if you
have a good idea of the
city layout and what you
want to see since your
time at port is limited.
Book your shore
excursion early
It depends on the place
you are visiting, but in
some cases you should
book in advance. If you
wait until you get on the
ship, that’s okay, but
don’t wait until the
morning of.
Arrive early
Although the ship
might leave at 5
o’clock, you can actually
start to board around
noon. You’ll be free to
enjoy the ship and decks
all afternoon — this really
adds an extra day to your
vacation and helps you
relax instead of rushing to
make departure.

Here’s how one thing af-
fects the other: Heftier
cruise vessels means more
on-deck room for uncon-
ventional dining options.
The culinary tact of cruise
liners has changed quite a
bit in the past decade, par-
ticularly in the following
ways:
Dine when
you want
The top trend in cruise din-
ing has less to do with
what you eat than when
you eat it: Gone are the
days when passengers re-
ceived a set time — typical-
ly 6 or 8 p.m. — for their
sit-down meals. Now, says
cruise expert Stewart Chi-
ron, “People can eat at
whatever time they want.”
For Cruise.com Senior Vice
President Jeanne Wyn-
drum, the open-ended
schedule transfigures the
whole trip: “It kind of eas-
es your day.”
Specialty
restaurants
As ship size increases, so
does the space for new
restaurants: “Like steak-
houses, Italian, French,
Asian,” Chiron says. The
new spots feel less like din-
ing halls and more like
chic eateries — “The food
quality, the atmosphere,
and the accoutrements are
much different,” he says.
Celebrity chefs
More space for restaurants
means more gigs for chefs
— gigs restaurants are fill-
ing with name-grabbing
celebrity cooks. In 2008,
The North Atlantic cruise
line Cunard tapped New
England chef Todd English
to author some menus.
The next year, Crystal
cruises brought Master
Chef Nobu Matsuhisa on
board for the same calling.
Expect to see more: “I
wouldn’t be surprised to
see Emeril [Lagasse] or one
of these guys doing a
cruise at some point,” says
Chiron.
Healthier bites
Cruise lines have tradition-
ally made accommodation
for passengers with specif-
ic dietary needs — just
that, now, those gluten-
free and low-cholesterol
options are starting to be-
come mainstays on cabin
menus. “It’s not like,
‘Here’s a few bits of let-
tuce,’” says Wyndrum.
“These are very good en-
trees, and they’re quite
popular.”
So long, buffets of old Cruises are taking dining to
the next level Trends to expect in 2010 for your
palate Luckily, your ship will also come with a gym
The galleys go
very gourmet
on these ships
Culinary
classes
Here’s where the realms
of food and onboard en-
tertainment start to
blur: Norwegian Cruise
Line packs a training
kitchen on many of its
newer vessels — “They’ll
have like a theater set-
up, as if you were in a
class,” says Chiron.
“You’ll have the table
and kitchen set up, and
the chef will come out.”

OASIS OF THE SEAS
CARNIVAL
On the Carnival Dream, there’s a speciality pasta bar for when you need your carb fix.
The Oasis of the Sea boasts The Cupcake Cupboard, a
dedicated shop that hosts hands-on decorating classes.
These days, cruising isn’t
just about retired folk
cruising slowly ’round the
Mediterranean. There’s a
new raft of exciting ways
of seeing the world by
boat.
The Gota Canal Steamship
Co., MS Diana, Sweden
The “Good Life on Board”
cruise is one for gour-
mands. Special menus are
conceived from produce
bought from the local
canal area, resulting in
hearty Swedish delicacies,
and there’s a nightly wine-
tasting session with the
crew’s personal sommelier.
Rock your boat: At Berg, ex-
ercise off all the amazing
food with a starlit swim in
the canal, or simply borrow
one of the ship’s bikes to go
for a ride along the canal.

Lyngen Lodge,
Tromso Coast, Norway
Combine snow, ski and sea
with this unique trip to the

the luxurious Lyngen
Lodge, on the shores of a re-
mote Arctic fjord, and each
day you board a boat that
takes you to the foot of un-
touched white, powdery
slopes. Kick off your skis
and wind down with a spot
of fishing on your way back
to a dinner of reindeer.
