5.21.25 – From the Top Shelf #7: The “Meet & Eat” with Bobby Bones
From the Top Shelf #7
Our past editions of From the Top Shelf have focused mostly on Top Shelf Country Cruise’s performers, shows and drink packages. All very important topics (especially that last one). But this edition is a little different.
Both Bobby Bones and Signature Cruise Experiences have a long history of charitable activities and participation. Their shared passion for the work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was one of their mutual attractions. Creating a Top Shelf Country Cruise event that would support St. Jude was a natural next step.
Meet & Eat with Bobby Bones
To that end, we’re hosting a Top Shelf Country Cruise raffle. A $100 donation gets you a ticket, and every penny goes directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The prize? A private brunch with Bobby Bones himself during the cruise.
We don’t know exactly what’s going to be on the menu yet, but we can promise the conversation will be rich, the vibe relaxed and the company unforgettable.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
You may already know the name. You’ve probably seen the commercials. Maybe you’ve even been a donor. But let’s take just a moment to reflect on what St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital really is, and why its mission resonates so powerfully.
Founded in 1962 when childhood cancer was essentially a death sentence, St. Jude changed the game. Completely. It transformed despair into hope, pushing survival rates from 20% to over 80%. It did that by doing something truly radical: sharing. Every breakthrough, every new treatment, every piece of knowledge — they give it away. Freely. Around the country and around the world.
St. Jude treats kids from all 50 states and across the globe. And here’s the part that never fails to amaze us: Families never receive a bill from St. Jude. Not for treatment, not for travel, not for food or housing. Because the only thing a family should worry about is helping their child live.
That’s what we’re supporting. That’s who we’re partnering with.
A Mutual Friend
It’s no coincidence that St. Jude is dear to Bobby Bones’ heart. And it’s not a casual relationship, either. Over the years, Bobby and his listeners have raised more than $27 million for St. Jude. That number is staggering.
Bobby has never been shy about using his voice for good. He invites his fans to become “Partners in Hope.” And every year, thousands answer that call. That spirit of generosity is one of the many reasons we’re so proud to have Bobby as part of our cruise.

5.8.25 – From the Top Shelf #6: Beverage Package Information
From the Top Shelf #6
Beverage Package Information: Now, THAT is an Important Thing to Know
Welcome to Edition #6 of From the Top Shelf, your insider look at everything coming up aboard Top Shelf Country Cruise! The archive of past From the Top Shelf newsletters may be viewed here.
In this edition, we are highlighting a special on Veranda Staterooms, onboard “meet and greet” with Bobby Bones, and, finally, information about the various Beverage Packages that you may purchase for the cruise. Lower prices, meeting Bobby Bones and beer. Do we have your undivided attention?
Let’s jump right in. From the Top Shelf #6 is ready for reading.
From the Top Shelf Upcoming Issues
If you’re looking to keep your vacation planning organized, here’s some information about future issues of From the Top Shelf:
- Bars and beverage packages on Celebrity Reflection [current issue]
- Spa & fitness offerings aboard Celebrity Reflection
- Specialty restaurants on Celebrity Reflection
- Top Shelf Country Cruise shore excursions
Top Shelf Country Cruise Beverage Offerings
Booked guests and prospective guests alike have been clamoring to learn about the various beverage packages that you can purchase for Top Shelf Country Cruise. Beer Packages, in particular, are of interest. After all, listening to live country music without a nice cold one in your hand is just not right!
When it comes to sipping in style on the Top Shelf Country Cruise, we believe your drink of choice should be just as “Top Shelf” as your cruise experience. Whether you’re toasting an unforgettable set from Keith Urban or just unwinding under the stars after a day in paradise, having the right drink in hand can be the cherry (or lime!) on top of a perfect cruise day.
That’s why we’ve curated four distinct beverage packages —each designed to match your pace, your palate, your pocketbook and your party style.
(Note: You don’t have to purchase a beverage package to enjoy drinks on Top Shelf Country Cruise; you can always purchase drinks separately. Beverage packages simply provide convenience and value.)
BEVERAGE PACKAGES
The above prices for beverage packages may be subject to discounts just for Top Shelf Country Cruise guests. If that’s the case, we’ll share those discounted prices with you as soon as we’re able to!
premium beverage package
If you’re the kind of person who hears “all-in” and actually leans in, this one’s for you. Think of this package as your backstage VIP lanyard to the liquid good life: full access to beer, wine, spirits, bottled water and specialty coffees — anything and everything up to $17 per beverage.
It’s not just about quantity (though there’s plenty of that). It’s about quality. You’ll even get a generous 20% off any bottle of wine you fall in love with and want to take home… or to dinner… or back to the stateroom to toast under the stars.
If your vacation motto is “go big or stay on land,” this is your ticket.
classic beverage package
If the Premium Beverage Package is the front row at the stadium, then the Classic Beverage Package is a good seat in the first ten rows. You’ll still be drinking just fine — unlimited selections of wines by the glass, frosty beers, perfectly blended cocktails and yes, even that iced caramel macchiato you can’t live without. Almost every drink up to $10 is covered here.
the beer package
This one’s near and dear to our hearts because it’s made just for us. Celebrity Cruises didn’t have a package like this before Top Shelf Country Cruise came to town. It’s been meticulously crafted with you in mind.
You get your pick of brews — Budweiser, Coors Light, Corona, Heineken, Miller Lite, Michelob Ultra, Blue Moon, Sam Adams and more — all covered up to $12 a bottle or draft.
Heads up: This package is just includes beer. No water, no soda, no espresso martinis (though you can still buy these separately). Just the cold ones you know and love. You can’t even find it on Celebrity’s website. It’s a Top Shelf secret.
the non-alcoholic drink package
For those cruising clean, you haven’t been forgotten. Whether you’re staying dry, pacing yourself or just prefer a smoothie over a spiked seltzer, this package is your best friend.
Specialty coffees, sodas, bottled water, fruit smoothies — all unlimited. Sometimes, the best buzz is just knowing you’re hydrated, caffeinated and fully present.
when are drink packages available to purchase?
For now, drink package information is just that: informational. Drink packages are typically not available for purchase until about 6 months before the cruise sets sail.
With that in mind, every Signature Cruise Experiences sailing includes a “Get Ready” series of emails designed to prepare guests for their cruise and Top Shelf Country Cruise is no exception. From travel and passport information to food and drink packages, we’ll provide all the information you need to help you plan for a fun, stress-free vacation.
Be sure to keep an eye on your inbox in the coming months.
bars
Now, when it comes to where you can acquire and enjoy your beverage of choice, our ship, Celebrity Reflection, contains plenty of bars and lounges throughout. You can read about each of them below (or bookmark the information about them on this page of our website).
pool and mast bars
If you’re wearing flip flops, sun-kissed and thirsty, these are your watering holes. Simple, spirited and always close to the action, the Pool & Mast Bars on decks 14 and 15 are your no-frills, full-flavor spot for an outdoor drink.
sunset bar
If you believe the best way to toast the day is with the sea behind you and a drink in your hand, then the Sunset Bar is your cathedral. It’s tucked in the back of the ship, where the breeze is steady, the sky is endless and the vibe is just right.
passport bar
Right off the ship’s grand foyer, the Passport Bar is like that perfect roadside bar you didn’t plan to stop at, but end up loving. Whether it’s country tunes in the background or a cold drink in your hand, this is the “I’ll just rest my boots for a minute” kind of place that becomes your nightly tradition.
cellar masters
For those who like their stories told between swigs and their nights aged to perfection, Cellar Masters is where you’ll want to be. It’s a laid-back treasure trove of global wines, where the bottle you’ve never heard of might just become your new favorite.
world class bar
You know how some folks like their bourbon neat and their cocktails crafted with surgical precision? That’s the World Class Bar. From fresh ingredients to mixologists who treat their job like an art form, this bar lives up to its name. Every sip feels like a private tasting.
Sky Lounge
With panoramic ocean views by day and a dance floor that comes alive at night, the Sky Lounge is equal parts tranquility and twang. Think of it as what happens when Nashville meets Vegas and says, “Let’s party.”
The Ensemble Lounge
If you’ve ever dreamed of sipping something smooth while brushing shoulders with a crowd that looks like they’re headed to the Grand Ole Opry, this is your spot. The Ensemble Lounge is tailor-made for a pre-dinner bourbon or a post-show nightcap, all set to live music and a vibe that says, “we clean up real nice.”
Martini Bar and Crus
This place is a showstopper. The bartenders don’t just make drinks — they perform them. Perched on an ice-topped bar and backed by a wall of vodka that would make Moscow blush, this is where your night kicks into gear, shaken or stirred.

5.5.25 – From the Top Shelf #5: Onboard Experiences with the Bobby Bones Show Crew
From the Top Shelf #5
Welcome to the fifth edition of From the Top Shelf, your insider look at everything coming up aboard the Top Shelf Country Cruise.
In previous editions, we’ve shared the cruise itinerary, lineup updates, stateroom availability and, of course, details about our headliner, Keith Urban, and his performance at the beautiful Nassau Cruise Port Amphitheater.
Today, we’re turning the spotlight to something that sets this cruise apart from every other vacation at sea: the rare and remarkable chance to spend meaningful time with the full iHeartRadio talent team of Bobby Bones, Amy Brown, Lunchbox, Eddie, Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase.
Whether you’re walking the deck with Amy, swapping jokes with Lunchbox at a blackjack table, hearing celebrity stories straight from Lorianne and Charlie or comedy straight from Bobby and Eddie, Top Shelf Country Cruise gives you something few fans ever get: a genuine, up-close experience with your favorite personalities.
Interested in learning more?
From the Top Shelf #5 is ready for reading.
The Raging Idiots Bring the Laughs
When Bobby Bones and Producer Eddie take the stage, you’re not just watching a Raging Idiots concert—you’re stepping into a full-blown comedy party where every song is packed with sharp wit and infectious energy.
Born from inside jokes and humble beginnings, Bobby Bones & The Raging Idiots have evolved from a fake opening act and a one-off charity gig into a touring phenomenon beloved by fans coast to coast. Their hilarious blend of clever lyrics and surprisingly catchy tunes has sold out venues, raised over $2 million for charity and united thousands of fans in laughter. And now, they’re bringing that magic straight to the middle of the ocean on Top Shelf Country Cruise.
Behind the Mic: Bobby Bones Show Q&A
Every morning, millions of country music fans start their day with the #1 nationally syndicated country morning show: The Bobby Bones Show. But on Top Shelf Country Cruise, it won’t just be another broadcast. It’ll be your backstage pass to the radio show that redefined country radio.
In this exclusive, live Q&A session, you’ll go behind the scenes with the entire cast of the show as they share the stories behind the biggest moments on the airwaves. From their craziest celebrity interviews to the real-life inspiration behind the gags, pranks and pop culture commentary, they’re pulling back the curtain just for you.
This is a rare chance to ask your own questions, hear the unfiltered stories they can’t say on-air and connect with the voices you’ve welcomed into your home, your car and your earbuds day after day.
Don’t just tune in. Be there.
Spend Some Time with Amy Brown
Whether you’ve laughed with her during morning radio, found strength in her vulnerability or been inspired by her commitment to kindness, you already know that Amy Brown brings more than just personality. She brings presence. And during Top Shelf Country Cruise, you’ll have the chance to connect with her in moments that feel like they were made just for you.
Here’s how you can spend real time with Amy during the cruise:
- Start your day with a Morning Walk with Amy on the pool deck. Think of it as a moving meet-and-greet: casual, welcoming and filled with conversation that will leave you smiling long after breakfast.
- Center yourself with Amy during an open-air Yoga Session, surrounded by sea breezes and positive energy. You don’t need to be a yogi to join—just someone who wants to breathe a little deeper and move a little more freely.
- Kick up your boots with Amy at Line Dancing Lessons, where Rodeo Disco will teach the steps and Amy will be learning them right alongside you. It’s not about getting it perfect—it’s about having fun while you learn.
- Listen to Amy’s Healthy Lifestyle Talk where she’ll share insights into physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. Her message is one of real, honest encouragement built on her own growth, struggle and resilience.
You can listen to Amy on the radio any day of the week. But Top Shelf Country Cruise gives you a chance to walk with her, move with her and laugh with her in ways you’ll never forget.
Blackjack Showdown with Lunchbox
It’s high energy, high stakes and guaranteed high-volume laughs. Whether you’re a seasoned card shark or just here for the chaos, this is your chance to say you beat (or got beat by) one of radio’s biggest personalities. Win or lose, the story alone is worth the price of admission. (There’s a fee to enter, but don’t worry — you won’t lose your shirt.)
Spend Some Time with Crook & Chase
Toast and Tell
The iconic broadcast duo have had thousands of conversations with hundreds of country music’s biggest stars over the years. Toast & Tell is your chance to learn more about those conversations and those artists.
Pour a drink, sit with Crook and Chase, name your favorite country music star, and they’ll share some unbelievable behind-the-scenes tales.
From laugh-out-loud moments to incredible backstage memories, this event is a front-row seat to decades of country music history told by two legends who have seen it all. Come for the drinks and stay for the stories you’ll be telling long after the cruise sails home.
Top Shelf Star: Your Moment in the Spotlight
There’s a stage. There’s a live band. And there’s you—belting out your favorite country anthem to your fellow cruisers, backed by our cruise’s official party band, Rodeo Disco.
This is Top Shelf Star, Top Shelf Country Cruise’s signature live karaoke showdown.
This multi-round singing competition gives guests the chance to live like country stars. Start with a song and a dream, and you might just find yourself in the finals, performing for a panel of judges and a crowd of new fans cheering you on.
Even if it’s your first time holding a mic, Top Shelf Star is your invitation to step out of your comfort zone and into the moment. Because when you’re sailing with artists, DJs and fans who live and breathe country music, why not become part of the show?
Book Your Stateroom
As you can see, there’s a world of fun to be had on Top Shelf Country Cruise. And this is just the beginning—there’s plenty more to come.
If you’ve already reserved your stateroom, we can’t wait to welcome you aboard. If not, staterooms are filling up quickly—and with programming like this, it’s easy to see why.
Don’t wait to claim your place on Country Music’s Top Shelf Cruise Program.
4.2.25 – From the Top Shelf #4: Keith Urban’s Performance in Nassau
From the Top Shelf #4
Welcome to the Edition #4 of From the Top Shelf, your source for all things related to Country Music’s First-Class Cruise. If you missed any of the first three editions, or wish to read them again, you can find them on the Top Shelf Country Cruise website.
For the next few editions, we will share programming highlights for the cruise. This is the fun part! While there will be dozens of hours of music programming, live events and programming for you to enjoy on Top Shelf Country Cruise, the main attraction is, without a doubt, this edition of From The Top Shelf will focus on county music icon Keith Urban’s performance.
Top Shelf Country Cruise Presents: Keith Urban
When Signature Cruise Experiences began working with iHeart Media to create the best country music cruise in the world, securing the performance of a country music icon was our first objective. Keith Urban was our #1 choice and we are thrilled that he and his team are joining us in Nassau.
Our second objective is to make that show an amazing experience for each and every guest. Enter Nassau and its brand new $300M venue and port facility. As you can see from the photo below, we will be able to dock our ship immediately adjacent to the new amphitheater, which is located within the port facility. It is about a 10 minute walk from the ship’s gangway to the venue and, by the time the venue opens for our guests, our ship will be the only ship in port.
Though the venue is called an “amphitheater,” it provides an intimate experience that can accommodate up to 3,000 people, a number slightly more than the guest population of our ship. This beautiful lawn setting provides unobstructed views of the stage and the event. Every sight angle is great. Everyone is close to the stage.
Since the Keith Urban show is exclusively for our guests on the ship, there will be ample room for everyone to move about and to enjoy the show.
Signature Cruise Experiences is known throughout the industry as master producers of live entertainment. While most of our productions have been on cruise ships, we have a long history of land-based productions, both indoors and outdoors.
Brian Rachko, our Production Manager, has 25 years of experience in the industry including huge touring shows, Disney Productions and more. Sound is his specialty, his passion and his domain. Brian and his team are working now to make sure that all the production elements that are part of a typical Keith Urban show will be included and presented.
Preliminarily, we are scheduling the show to start at 9 PM with the venue opening for seating at 7:30 PM. The Show Guidelines will be the subject of a later edition. Arrangements for those who need assistance with both arriving at the venue and seating will be announced as well.
Prior to the concert, there will be a Top Shelf Pre-Party onboard with live entertainment, food and drink. The showtime should allow for time to enjoy a great dinner on the ship in a variety of locations and formats. No one will go hungry. Food and drink may also be purchased in and around the performance venue.
Once the show concludes, guests will be treated on the ship to the Top Shelf Post-Show Celebration. With a Day at Sea following this night, there should be no curfew in force. Plus, by 1 AM, the ship will be sailing away from Nassau in the moonlight. If you have never been on a sail away, be prepared to be in awe.
In short, it’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime day, afternoon, show and night.

3.10.25 – From the Top Shelf #2: Your Headliners & the iHeartMedia Team
From the Top Shelf #2
We know that you are interested in sailing on Top Shelf Country Cruise. To tell you more about the event, on February 24, 2025, we initiated our From the Top Shelf newsletter, a series of notes intended to provide you with all the information you may need to learn about the cruise and how to complete a reservation.
This is the second edition of From the Top Shelf and is ready for reading. If you would like to review or reread the first edition, click here. We hope that you enjoy our information and that you will join us on the inaugural sailing of Top Shelf Country Cruise.
The Cruise
Top Shelf Country Cruise is a 7-night cruise on the ultra-luxurious Celebrity Reflection. The cruise departs from Ft. Lauderdale on 2.27.26 and returns on 3.6.26. The final ports-of-call and lineups will be announced shortly.
Performers/Entertainment
Your Headliner
Top Shelf Country Cruise will present Keith Urban, winner of four GRAMMY®s, 15 Academy of Country Music Awards, 13 CMA Awards and six ARIA Music Awards, as its headliner. The lineup of performers is not complete currently, but we are off to an amazing start!
The iHeart talent Team
At the heart of this cruise is the iHeartMedia talent team of Bobby Bones, Lorianne & Charlie, Amy Brown, Lunchbox and Eddie. They have made this cruise their own and will be there to greet you, sail with you and help you enjoy the programming. For several years now, Bobby Bones has been encouraged to host a cruise, but he was waiting for the right time, the right cruise partner and the right program.
Bobby Bones has selected Top Shelf Country Cruise to be HIS cruise program.
Additional Performers
Our complete lineup of Performers will be announced very soon. This information will be provided directly to you as soon as we have confirmed the lineup.
The Experience
What sets Top Shelf Country Cruise apart from other country music cruises? That’s easy: the pedigree of its talent and the diversity of its programming.
With Keith Urban and the iHeartMedia talent team confirmed and more first-rate acts to be announced very soon, this cruise program is committed to providing nothing short of the best, most in-demand musicians and personalities the country genre has to offer.
Alongside top-tier performers comes top-tier programming. Signature Cruise Experiences has been producing full-ship charter cruises for over 25 years and is unrivaled in creating a simply unforgettable week of entertainment — and the Celebrity Reflection cruise ship is the perfect vessel for a wide spectrum of musical experiences that offer something for everyone.
The Theatre is a multi-tiered venue perfect for nightly headlining acts that are sure to be the highlight of each day. The Sky Lounge is a great party spot for gameshows, dancing, karaoke and late-night entertainment.
The Pool Deck is tailor-made for festival-style outdoor shows, all set in a warm, breezy environment. The Opus Restaurant, our main dining room, transforms into a unique concert space for matinees and evening performances. Finally, the Ensemble Lounge serves as an elegant and intimate venue that invites you right into the performers’ worlds.
Add in delicious included and specialty dining options, a selection of drink packages, coffee bars, spa treatments and more amenities, and you’ll find that you’re in for a “Top Shelf” cruise experience you won’t soon forget.
The Value
There’s no getting around it: Seeing your favorite performers is expensive. Between plane tickets, hotel accommodations, show tickets, food and beverage costs and more, a trip to a country musical festival is pricey.
A country music cruise, though, offers unbeatable value for your money.
Top Shelf Country Cruise provides a nightly headlining performance and several additional shows at the ship’s other venues each day. The week will be packed with dozens and dozens of hours of musical entertainment. Your cruise price also includes:
- Breakfast and dinner every day in the Opus Restaurant and lunch on Days at Sea
- All-day buffet-style dining in the Oceanview Café
- Unlimited use of the ship’s state-of-the-art gym
- Full days at exotic ports of call
- Use of the ship’s sports court and walking track
- A pool deck for swimming and sunbathing
- Comfortable and relaxing stateroom accommodations
You’ll enjoy all of these amenities among fellow fans and even the artists themselves for as low as $500 per person per day. For lovers of country music, travel, adventure and a good party, there’s simply no better value.
For more information, visit our pricing & reservations page.

We urge you to get ahead of the pack which will be reserving staterooms when the details are announced (very soon). If you are ready to join them, click the button below to get started.
Not Familiar with Cruise Terminology?
Check Out These Helpful Hints!
Stateroom Categories – Those names correspond to the room offerings by Celebrity Cruises. Rather than assuming information about the stateroom by the category name, you can check out every detail and amenity of a Stateroom on our website by clicking here.
“Veranda” or “Verandah” – This designation means that the stateroom has a balcony. All staterooms on our ship, other than Ocean View and Inside Staterooms, have a “veranda”.
“Prices are based upon Double Occupancy” – All stated prices are per person and assume that two people are in the stateroom. Several staterooms allow for more than two persons and the charge for the “extra” person is significantly less. If you are a single passenger, a few staterooms have been designated as singles and a single supplement price will apply. You will need to speak to our office for this information.

For several years now, Bobby Bones has been encouraged to host a cruise, but he was waiting for the right time, the right cruise partner and the right program. Bobby Bones has selected Top Shelf Country Cruise to be HIS cruise program.

Not Familiar With Cruise Terminology?
Check Out These Helpful Hints!
Stateroom Categories – Those names correspond to the room offerings by Celebrity Cruises. Rather than assuming information about the stateroom by the category name, you can check out every detail and amenity of a Stateroom on our website by clicking here.
“Veranda” or “Verandah” – This designation means that the stateroom has a balcony. All staterooms on our ship, other than Ocean View and Inside Staterooms, have a “veranda”.
“Prices are based upon Double Occupancy” – All stated prices are per person and assume that two people are in the stateroom. Several staterooms allow for more than two persons and the charge for the “extra” person is significantly less. If you are a single passenger, a few staterooms have been designated as singles and a single supplement price will apply. You will need to speak to our office for this information.
