Food Network Now Offering Themed Cruises [Insert Eye Roll Here]
![]() |
Calling all Food Network fans!
Have you been wasting hours, sulking miserably around your office, because you haven’t been able to convince a famous celebrity chef to go on a cruise with you? WELL SULK NO MORE, ’cause the Food Network is now in the travel business!
No, seriously! They are!
This new foray into the cruise business, which Food Network cleverly named “Food Network At Sea,” means we ordinary folk can now rub Caribbean sun-kissed elbows with some of the network’s biggest personalities. And boy, did they pull out the big headliners for their first trip… CAT CORA AND AARON SANCHEZ!
[crickets]
How much will it cost? The 7-day Caribbean cruise will set you back $1500 per person for a cramped ocean view stateroom. Prices go all the way up to $4600 per person for the royal suite.
[crickets]
I know it sounds like a lot, but the price includes “VIP Pier-side check-in” and “Enriching Culinary Demonstrations” by Cat Cora and Aarón Sánchez!
[crickets]
AND, you get to have your photo taken with Cat and Aaron! ON A RED CARPET!
[crickets]
SO, WHO’S GOING?
[cricketssssssssss]
I just have two more comments:
1) WHAT IN THE HELL?
and 2) HOW OLD IS THAT PHOTO OF AARON SANCHEZ? I don’t think he’s looked like that since 1998.

Now… If it were Mario Batali and Alton Brown, I’d be all over that. This though… Eh. Not too excited about it.
I mean Cat Cora is nice and all…
See, I’m just shocked I didn’t see this coming. I really should have.
OH! OH! You know what’s next?
FN Theme Parks.
I’d pay good money to watch Sandra Lee spin out of control on the Teacups, absolutely!
heh… very funny, Jamie.
She’s dizzy without those!
WTF? Does FN have ANY shame whatsoeva? Cruises? That just makes my head uncontrollably bang on anything made of metal.
FN Theme Parks… how funny!!!
Just imagine:
Guy’s Wild Ride
Rachel’s Shimmy Shake Coaster
The Neeley’s Tunnel of Love
Aunt Sandy’s Fun House (complete with tablescapes!)
Tyler’s Ultimate Merry-Go-Round
See, we know what would be fun! They should take there cues from us! LOL
We better by god get royalties from this though! :)
Holy crappoly! Shimmy Shake Coaster, Tunnel of Love and Fun House are scary!!! But dang if I wouldn’t go to such a theme park. Oh no – I hope TFN isn’t mining this site for ideas.
;^)
You are watching waaay too much FN, girl!
‘The Neeley’s Tunnel of Love’
EWWWWW!!! LMAO!!
will the emeril live band be there for entertainment or will they go with New Kids on the Block (since they do have cruise experience)
i wonder if foodnetworktravelhumor.com is available? :)
Good pint, Empty. Hello, Jillian! Git’n'done!!!!!
Whoops, too much vino here – that should have been “good point!” LOL!!!
LOL clo!”good pint” a freudian slip?
Now why didn’t I think of this….
Having this article following the two dog food articles, I honestly thought this would be a joke and that the snapshot is Photoshopped. That is, until I hit the hyperlink on “They are!” I really should have realized by now that when it comes to the FN, you don’t have to make this stuff up. I guess FN wants to take over the world, first by land, then by sea. Next, they will have these celebrity chefs demo cooking skills on planes. And finally, demos in outer space.
Why don’t we just skip the intermediate steps and send them into outer space now? I vote that Bob Tuschman and Susie Fogelson be the first to go.
Great idea! The ‘leaders’ should be the 1st to go!
I hate it when people shorten their names to make themselves sound all cool. Cat Cora’s first name is actually Catherine, just like I suspected. I admire the openess in her personal life but, the shortening of her name….I just don’t give a rat’s ass. But, congrats to those who do.
Maybe she shortened her name to hint at what she likes to eat. And I don’t mean the feline.
Hehehehe! I’m from the south, if “Cat” was, we’d be callin’ her “cooter”
RRowr…a bit “catty”, Alex…
Rachel calling herself Rach is like finger nails on a chalk board to me. As far as Cat Cora, I believe she is from Mississippi and I do know several Catherines that go by Cat. I don’t really mind her going by that name, but then again she does not annoy me like Rach.
She went by Cat in college, so it’s not a fame thing. Squirrel, she is from Mississippi! *doink*
EVERYthing’s up for abbreviation with RRay. She’d probably abbreviate abbreviation = abrev.
Then, you might as well lump BOBBY Flay in there. Who (over the age of 12) calls themselves BOBBY when you are Robert?
Well, people probably call her Cat! lol What if she HATES catherine. I know people like that. but i enjoyed the “maybe it’s what she likes to eat”. LOL More poer to her though, so glad to see strong people coming out, really strengthens their community!
You have to remember the target audience for food network is the vacuum pushing, mini van driving, fanny pack wearing, cruise types…it should be a hit for them..
also, the cat cora photo is from 2004
the air-ohn photo must be from high school
hey hey i take offense to this one. i am 24 years old, no children, and a fairly successful artist. i drive a sporty car that is Bright blue.
i agreed with the majority of what had been said until this.
as well as my self, people i know whom are in my age group also watch food network. we are all in agreement as far as very much enjoying Alton Brown’s “Good Eats”
we are all in agreement on that blond anorexic lady and if she didn’t speak as if we were slow we might just watch more of her.
Rachel was much better in her earlier shows, now she is too much.
Cat is better to look at then she is to watch cooking.
has Aaron ever had a cooking show of his own? o.o;
Is Dirty Sanchez going to fall down again? (preferably overboard)
I want to like Cat Cora… shes mildly attractive, and knows her way around the kitchen…. But she’s into a lifestyle that I find repulsive. Mediterranean cooking, really?
Repulsive? Because she’s gay, or is there something else we don’t know?
Some of my best friends are gay (channelling Ina here)
Whoa, what???? All’s fun and games until somebody says something like this, if it’s in the context I understand it to be.
I think it’s a joke — the Mediterranean cooking is the repulsive lifestyle.
Yeah.. what the heck, Cannon?!?? Some of my best friends are Mediterranean cooks!
[...] See the strange post here: Food Network Now Offering Themed Cruises [Insert Eye Roll Here … [...]
I watch a lot of Food Network programming, because my husband enjoys it. I must be watching the wrong shows, though. I don’t think I have ever seen Aaron Sanchez.
He’s a judge on Chopped, PaulWellerfan…Ted seems to enjoy rolling the R in ARRRON.
He’s also on Chefs vs. City, can’t comment on that as I’ve only seen the promos.
Love that name Ina! So being a judge qualifies him to be a “chef” on a themed cruise? I don’t think I am missing much. Thanks for the info!
That is what I am taking about, his insistence that everyone pronounce Aaron with that dam rolled R drives me insane!
Rumored to be an expert on Latin cuisine, whatever that is. Mexican? Don’t know.
you seem really smart Ferd Berfle.
he’s a “mami’s” boy” people. she owns a bunch of unsucessful mexican restaurants in nyc so he fell into the biz. she pronounces his name that way so now everyone must follow suit or it will upset mami. his manager has been booking him on anything that bites since that head shot was taken. regarding the cruise, he probably thought it was in a low rider. should they have to jump ship, everyone knows mexicans can’t swim. i’m mexican but i would jump anyway. drowning is better than having to be on a cruz with cat.
Can’t quite place the look on (Iron Chef) Cat Cora’s face. It’s a sort of come hither naughty school teacher expression.
Not enough Dramamine on the planet to overcome the nausea. Cat and Aaron? Barf!
I’d rather have a “Deen Family” cruise with Pauler, Cap’n Michael Grooooooooooooooover and Bobby and Jamie! Now that’s a cruise!
Would it be on the Captain’s tugboat? lol
I’ll bet Bobby Deen would love to join the NAVY and cruise the high seas.
Um, may I just how riotously funny your screen name is? I have an image of her liver drowning and screaming for help. Too clever.
Thank you, Coffee-n-Toast!
LOL at Groooooooooooover!
Everyone would be slathering butter on by the pool.
So left me get this straight, FN wants me to cough up $1500 a person without airfare to go to the Caribbean on a cruise?!? Thanks, but NO!
For the same amount ($1500) I can get a stateroom for myself on a cruise to Mexico, a flight to LA, and 1 days worth of drinks…
*rolls eyes*
And I wouldn’t have to listen to a bunch of people oooooh over the “celebrities” on the ship.
Aaron Sanchez – gag. I never liked him. There’s just something about his face that creeps me out.
I can remember seeing Aaron on “Melting Pot” several years ago and back then he didn’t have any sort of accent. Now all of a sudden he does?? What a phony!
I remember he used to cook with another Latino chef, and both of them seemed high all the time, like they shared a joint right before the cameras started rolling.
Was that the show where they called every food “so sexxxy!”?
Thank you, thank you. I was trying to think of the name of that show. I believe the rotated the chefs around in twos. That was “back in the day” (as Rach says..all the time) when the network had credibility and acutally….wait for it….cooked. GASP
Oh goody, a cruise so you can listen to Cat Cora pat herself on the back for a week and make sure you know what a faaaabulous chef she is.
Um, NO THANKS.
I’ve also seen Food Network — very recently, I might add — use a photo of Aaron WITHOUT the facial hair, one that has to date back to high school at least.
They need to use pictures of Aaron Sanchez with facial hair, otherwise you would confuse him for Rachael Ray!
‘Food Network at Sea’
Bwahahahaha! Well, at least you’d have a vast ocean in which to vomit.
What, pray tell, does an Enriching Culinary Demonstration entail? If it means watching Aarrrrron make hueeeeeeeevos rrrrrancherrrrros and listening to Cat talk about being Greek AND from the south (Debbie, anyone?) I think I’ve had all the enrichment I can take.
I’m full-blooded Greek and from Tennessee and I love to cook. But, believe me, I’m NOTHING like Cat Cora. Gag me on both of them! I’sd rather stay at home and watch it rain. ‘Bout as exciting.
And cheaper too.
Celebrity Cruise line is awful, I went on a cruise in 2002 and it was terrible so I wrote a letter to the company they sent me vouchers for money off the next cruise I book. After that experience I’m leary about cruises. I don’t care for Cat or Aaron, they are boring. You probably won’t see much of them anyway they’ll have other fn staff working the demonstrations or something.
Cat Cora is worth it but Aaron Sanchez, not so much. I think they should have paired her with another Iron Chef and charged more, or one of the more popular chefs like A.B., or RR (who I can’t stand, but is popular)
I’m surprised too, but i think the rest of them probably have something else going on in their lives. LOL I would have actually considered it if it was a more popular set of chefs.
I cannot stand Aaron Sanchez on TV let alone being trapped on the Food Network trash barge floating at sea. Something about the way that guy expects people to pronounce his name makes me want to slap him.
Would I get to ask Cat Cora about her strange and weird B-movie-esque lesbian relationship?
Would I be able to ask AAron Sanchez just what the hell he does and when he Mexican-ized his first name?
I don’t think HE did. I think Ted Allen did, and he went along with it. The first time I ever heard the “Latino” pronunciation was on a Chopped intro, and Ted Allen was saying it. Really, what do you say then? “The Latin food expert, Air-on Sanchez”. “No, no, it’s just Aaron, but I really AM a Latin food chef.” I think he just rolled with it, and now it’s become a big deal.
Is this one of those Rosie O’Donnell cruises?
I don’t think it would be out of place to see Aaron Sanchez on this website:
