The Cruise Line International Association (CLIA) has a phrase that states “You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Cruised”.  I believe this statement to be 100% true. I love to travel and been to many places around the world, but my favorite mode of travel to new destinations is via a cruise.

Statistics agree with my personal feelings about cruising. Its a fact that cruising has a higher percentage of satisfied customers than any other vacation experience. There are over 150 distinctive ships available to cruise on and more being built with over 1800 ports around the world to explore.  There is a cruise ship and destination that can meet anyone and everyone needs and wants.

Chose to cruise for you.

You will have the vacation of a lifetime.

You will be able to see the world, completely unwind or find all the unique peccadilloes of any destination you choose.

Youcan dine on fabulous cuisines, you can dance the night away or you can spend hours being pampered in the spa.  

You can meet new friends and you can learn something new.

You can bond with your extended family or you can steal precious moments with your special someone.

Whatever your heart desires, you can find it when you cruise.

There was a movie that was showing in 1968 with Buster Keaton, it name was “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum”. I mentioned this only because my family always referred to this incident I am going to describe with this movie title.

While visiting Rome, Italy my family and I learned some very valuable lessons about travel, about human nature and the goodness of people around the world.

Travel over the past few years has not been easy and the problems do not all lie with September 11, 2001. There are more people traveling and so you will run into more issues from, when you can travel, when you can get a flight, to what  hotel, resort or cruise is available and not sold out. Then there is, are there cars available?Is there a big convention in town? Weather, travel documents, health alerts to overall all lack of common curtsy, to being rushed to everything done before you travel either for business or pleasure.

So if you can be flexible. Business travel is needed – ask your clients for two or three date options so you can get all your travel needs aligned. Want to get points for your loyalty program – choose two and make sure they offer points from varying air,hotel and car vendors. Then when one is not available then you have another choice and you can still get your loyalty points.

Taylor Sailor will be a very welcomed guest at the free seminar Terry is hosting along with Holland America Cruise Lines on Thursday January 31st at the McNair Farms Club House in Herndon, VA.  He will enjoy a beautiful video previewing the awe inspiring sights of Alaska and then hear Terry speak about some of the stops in Alaska the Holland America Cruise ships visit.

Can you imagine cruising through Glacier Bay and spotting a moose or seeing a small heard of mountain goats? It is experiences like these that the reason the camera was invented, so we can all capture these magnificent moments of time and brag to our friends and family about them and show off our pictures.

 

He is excited about attending this event and hope to meet lots of new friends as well. Since he works for Terry at Cruises, Inc.,  he can’t enter to win one of her great door prizes but hopes that all who attend make sure they fill out an entry form. If you are in the area come join us all are welcome. See Terry’s web site for more details. www.TravelLadyCruises.com

When planning your first cruise here is a question many clients ask about … laundry. There are a few items under this subject to be addressed.

First of all, not all cruise ships have laundry facilities. So it is best not to plan on doing you laundry on board your cruise. To every rule there is an exception…of late many cruise lines are now offering laundry or dry cleaning services. They can be costly, so if you don’t mind paying for the services, then take advantage of them. Otherwise I would suggest to wait till you get off the ship to do your laundry. Again another exception to that rule is that on many cruise lines, if you have purchased a suite, then often laundry is a free service provided by the cruise line, so take advantage of this if you can because it is so nice to come home from a weeks vacation with clean clothes!

SeaDream yachting is different than the other cruise lines. It is like being on your very own yacht, where you are pampered and experience the ultimate in luxury.An offer like this for SeaDream does not come often but because of a special situation SeaDream is offering a three day cruise starting in Antigua and ending in St. Thomas for only $995.00 per person plus tax. This cruise starts on Easter Sunday, March 23rd and ends on March 26th. The ports of call on this very special sailing are Antigua, St. Bart’s, Jost Vandyke and then St. Thomas. This is repositioning cruise after a full charter cruise done by SeaDream and so it is not listed as a regular cruise itinerary by SeaDream.

Imagine yourself on a private yacht sailing the most beautiful parts of the Caribbean…what could  be more wonderful? There are only 55 cabins on this ship so these prices will NOT last long. Call today to reserve your luxurious cabin today for this very unique cruise.

Look and see where all of the coldest places in the USA right now..

If you wanted to warm up and thaw out, you could be on a cruise in these wonderfully warm places and enjoying yourself emensely!

The Pride of Aloha sails the Hawaiian Island – today’s temperature in Honolulu, Hawaii was 80 degrees

San Juan, PR has several cruise ships that depart from this southern Caribbean port – Today’s temperature was 78 degrees 

You have your choice of nine cruise lines that sail the Eastern, Western or Southern Caribbean. Today’s weather in some of these ports of calls are as follows:

Grand Cayman Island – 81 degrees

Puerto Vallerta, Mexico – 75 degrees

Kingston, Jamaica – 79 degrees

Cozumel, Mexico – 72 degrees

St. Thomas,VI – 76 degrees

So run away from the cold, snow and ice. Warm up and thaw out. There are some really hot deals right now in places allot warmer that over 1/2 of the United States. I’d be happy to help you not just imagine that warm Paradise but cruise to it as well.

Taylor Sailor just showed me the new Royal Caribbean Cruise Line Contest to name it’s newest ship and win a free cruise. He is very excited, he immediately grabbed the dictionary plus a thesaurus and is searching for the perfect name to win this ship naming contest.

If you want to join Taylor Sailor in his pursuit to win this contest go to  http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruises/namethatship.aspx

Have fun with this and good luck to all of you with this Royal Caribbean International event!
