\"\"<\/a>The iPhone Queen is at it again. She used to be the Travel Queen, but now she has a dual identity.<\/p>\n

Plus, another app.<\/p>\n

I used to think “app” was an incorrectly abbreviated word. Now it’s in the dictionary (or most dictionaries) because it doesn’t need a second name. It’s like Oprah. And Tiger. And Hillary. Saying it’s “app time” no longer means the snacks are about to appear, because an app is what you put on your iPhone.<\/p>\n

At least, the iPhone Queen does.<\/p>\n

Her latest one is about cruising. Now there’s a surprise. It’s called “Celebrity” \u2014 another one-word name. One you touch the screen, it gets a second name \u2014 Explorer. Gone are the days when an “explorer” discovered uncharted lands, or was even just the name of your favorite browser.<\/p>\n

On Celebrity Explorer, you can find cruises. Another surprise. You can also find ships, as \"\"<\/a>long as they’re the ones with the big “X” on the funnel. You can find cruise destinations, with pictures. You can find out what to pack, dependent on the length of your cruise and your gender (only two options here). You can find out how to make yourself known to somebody at Celebrity Cruise Lines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can even find a cruise that you don’t know you’ll be finding. Just touch the “Surprise me” button and up pops a random cruise. For me, it was “13-Night Hawaii Cruise” on the Celebrity Century<\/a> on March 23, 2012.<\/p>\n

Other cruise lines probably have apps, too. This is just the only one my cruise partner has found.<\/p>\n

Just give her time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
