As a member of our WeSalute community, you have spent your career serving others — and when it is time to recharge, you deserve a getaway that is both luxurious and strictly respectful of your budget. This travel guide spotlights a spectacular 9-Night Antigua, Dominica, St. Kitts, and St. Thomas Cruise aboard the stunning Celebrity Eclipse, detailing how to turn a premium Caribbean escape into an incredible value.
Because we are a registered Public Benefit Corporation, our core mission is to ensure you receive the respect, recognition, and rewards you deserve. Below, we break down what this luxury island-hopping itinerary looks like and explain exactly how maximizing your WeSalute Travel benefits will keep your out-of-pocket costs low on the open water.
1. The Itinerary: Island Hopping in Style
Forget the stress of packing and unpacking. On a cruise, your luxury resort travels with you. Here is a snapshot of your 9-night tropical adventure:
Day 1 (Fort Lauderdale, FL): Board the stunning Celebrity Eclipse. Settle into your stateroom, explore the ship's world-class dining and entertainment, and prepare for a 4:00 PM departure into the Caribbean sunset.
Days 2-3 (Cruising at Sea): Enjoy two full days at sea to unwind. Relax by the pool, indulge in premium dining, or visit the spa as you sail south toward the Leeward Islands.
Day 4 (St. Johns, Antigua): Wake up in Antigua, famous for its 365 pristine beaches — one for every day of the year. Explore the rich maritime history of Nelson’s Dockyard or simply relax on the pink and white sands.
Day 5 (Roseau, Dominica): Discover the "Nature Island" of the Caribbean. Dominica offers lush rainforests, hidden waterfalls, and spectacular snorkeling in Champagne Reef, where volcanic vents release warm bubbles into the sea.
Day 6 (Basseterre, St. Kitts & Nevis): Step off the ship into a vibrant mix of French and British colonial history. Explore the imposing Brimstone Hill Fortress or take a scenic railway tour through lush sugar cane fields.
Day 7 (Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas): Enjoy world-renowned duty-free shopping in the U.S. Virgin Islands, take the Skyride to Paradise Point for breathtaking harbor views, or swim in the crystal-clear waters of Magens Bay.
Days 8-9 (Cruising at Sea): Spend your two final days enjoying the ship's luxury amenities, catching a theater production, and toasting to an incredible vacation as you sail back toward Florida.
Day 10 (Fort Lauderdale, FL): Arrive back in port at 7:00 AM, refreshed and ready to head home.
2. Booking the Trip: Real WeSalute Savings
This is where your WeSalute Membership pays off in a big way. We priced out the ultimate luxury experience — a premium Celebrity Suite for two adults. This includes 24-hour European butler service, a sprawling private veranda with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, and exclusive dining privileges.
Through the WeSalute Travel platform, you never pay retail markup on your stateroom. While the standard market rate for this suite is $16,219.86 (including taxes and fees), your instant WeSalute Savings Credits of $792.00 bring the total member price down to just $15,427.86.
Slashing Out-of-Pocket Costs with Travel Cash
When you book your cruise on the WeSalute Travel platform, you can apply your WeSalute Travel Cash directly at checkout to immediately lower your final price. Basic WeSalute Members receive a one-time $100 Travel Cash gift just for creating a free account, while Premium WeSalute+ Members unlock an impressive $3,000 Travel Cash gift every year you are a WeSalute+ Member. By using these Savings Credits, you instantly bypass the public rates you would find on standard booking sites.
Earning for the Future
The perks do not end when you disembark. Every eligible booking automatically earns you Reward Credits. This flexible loyalty currency accumulates in your account and can be redeemed like cash to deeply discount or fully cover future travel purchases — including flights, hotels, and car rentals.
3. Securing Your Flights & Peace of Mind
Getting to the port in Fort Lauderdale and staying safe while sailing is just as important as the cruise itself. Your membership covers these logistics from end to end:
Maximize Your Rewards with the WeSalute Travel "Triple Stack"
If you need to fly into Florida, booking your flights directly through the WeSalute Travel platform allows you to "triple stack" your travel rewards for a massive win. First, use your favorite travel rewards credit card at checkout to earn your standard bank points. Second, enter your frequent flyer number during the booking process so you still earn your miles directly from the airline’s loyalty program. Third, because you booked through WeSalute Travel, you automatically earn 1.25 WeSalute Reward Credits per $1 spent. This means every dollar you spend is working three times as hard to fund your next vacation.
Direct Partner Airline Savings
In addition to the WeSalute Travel booking platform, your WeSalute+ Membership also gives you access to direct partner airline discounts that you can book right on the airline's website. For example, military WeSalute+ Members can take advantage of 5% OFF JetBlue flights (which also includes two free checked bags per person) or military and nurse Basic WeSalute Members are eligible for 15% OFF Breeze Airways flights.
WeSalute Travel Protection
WeSalute+ Members save 50% on WeSalute Travel Protection! Because your health and safety matter, this essential coverage protects you with up to $50,000 in emergency medical evacuation and provides 24/7 global travel assistance for unexpected hurdles, anytime you are more than 100 miles from home or out at sea.
Health on the Go
If you need non-emergency prescriptions while traveling domestically before you board or after you return, your included WeSalute Rx savings with WeSalute+ offer up to 80% off generic drugs and up to 40% off brand-name medications at over 65,000 pharmacies nationwide.
A journey like this 9-Night Caribbean Cruise is more than just a vacation; it is a well-deserved reward for your dedication to our communities. By maximizing your WeSalute Travel benefits, you can focus entirely on making memories instead of stressing over travel logistics and retail markups.
