colliercruiser Posted August 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2022 We are taking the Summit on the Oct 3 NE/Canada sailing, and I've been looking at the excursions on the Celebrity website (Cruise Planner). Many tours are labeled as "World Wings" tours and, in the fine print, it says you have to be member of the World Wings group. If not, you will be refunded the tour's cost. Does anyone know about these tours? Are they really limited to World Wings "group" members and not open to other cruise guests? Seems odd to have them listed in the Cruise Planner, but with the "fine print" caveat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 16, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2022 World Wing is a philanthropic organization and a google search indicates that are holding their 53rd Annual Convention on the Summit from Oct 3 - Oct 15th. So apparently those excursions are only for those attending the convention. I couldn't get a indication of the size of the group but since they are posting excursions exclusively for that group it must be a decent size.

Denny01 Posted August 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Sounds as if World Wings is a group that has booked that cruise. Did a quick check, and there are a number of “world wings” such as former PanAm stewardesses, a travel organization, and a financial group. those tours are for their group only….apparently.

Denny01 Posted August 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Ha! When I saw there was an ‘International World Wings’ org that is the PanAm Flight Attendants, I though Wow, Flight Attendants Can Be Fun!!….then I realized being PanAm, they are probably more my ‘generation’….still fun, but the ‘fun’ ends closer to 9pm….

Rare Turtles06 Posted August 16, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Here’s the web site for the World Wings convention/cruise. Obviously a private group (as described above) booked on the OP’s Summit cruise. https://worldwingsinternational.net/cruise2022/ If you look at their schedule, there are several events they are having in the Sky Lounge, which I assume will be closed to other guests during those times.

janabelle61 Posted August 17, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Thanks for this! I've had an excursion 'system cancelled' three times and no one could tell me why. Today, I was able to book a non-World Wings version off the same excursion (first time it was available), so I'm hopeful this one sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOBOO172 Posted August 31, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We are Bob and Tish from the greater Nashville, TN area. Tish was a PanAm way back when flying was actually fun. Tish is a member of the World Wings Atlanta chapter, and many members of that chapter are cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
