Baseball Fans Can Stretch the Baseball Season with MSC Cruises’ Themed Sailings

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. – Baseball fans looking to stretch the baseball season into the winter months can enjoy the warmth of the Caribbean with some of their favorite former Major League Baseball players – including Philadelphia Phillies’ Jim Fregosi and Tony Taylor and Rennie Stennet from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In addition to visiting some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful locations, each “Baseball Greats” Caribbean cruise includes free interactive guest/player activities, including a player-hosted trivia game in which guests can test their baseball knowledge, question-and-answer sessions with the players, a guest pitching contest and a lively story-telling session in which the players share candid revelations about some of the “characters” of the game. Baseball players will also host pitching, hitting, fielding and base running clinics.

Phillies fan favorites Jim Fregosi and Tony Taylor are in the lineup of baseball greats scheduled to sail Caribbean itineraries roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale this winter:

• The Feb. 6, 7 night Caribbean Cruise “Island Treasures & Ancient Temples” cruise will feature Fregosi, Stan Bahnsen, Rudy May, Ed Kranepool, and Tony Oliva

• The April 3, 7 night Caribbean Cruise “Eastern Caribbean Dream” cruise will feature Taylor, Bahnsen, Randy Hundley, and two additional players still to be announced

Pirates fan favorite Stennet is in the lineup of baseball greats scheduled to cruise a 7-night “Eastern Caribbean Enchantment” itinerary sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale on March 6, 2010. He will be joined by Bahnsen, Amos Otis and two additional players still to be announced.

MSC Cruises also has a 10 night Caribbean Cruise “Baseball Greats” cruise and several additional 7 night Caribbean cruises scheduled with a varied lineup of former Major League Baseball players.

Caribbean cruise only rates begin at $569 per person, double occupancy (government fees/taxes additional). As on all MSC Cruises’ sailings, kids ages 17 and younger sail free when sharing a stateroom with two full-fare-paying adults.
