Single cruise supplement

10/6/2013

0 Comments

 
Most cruiselines charge a single supplement of 200% cruisefare which makes things very pricey for a single traveler. Some lines are building single cruiser cabins into the new deck plan to make this more affordable. This still comes at the expense of your wallet and a smaller cabin.

Wouldn't there be some way the cruiselines could discount the fares a bit, this seems like such an unfair practice. It is not the single cruisers fault if they do not have someone who they would like to travel with. I also realize the lines are in business and a single cruiser produces less revenue from fares along with on board spending. I definitely think the single staterooms are a huge step in the right direction.

Keep it up cruiselines! We as consumers love to see our input being implemented onto the new ships. It encourages us to keep traveling with you.

Celebrity Millennium

9/20/2013

The unfortunate issues with the propulsion system on the Celebrity Millennium has resulted in quite a few unhappy cruisers. Some were unhappy due to the cruise being cancelled before they ever left, others having to juggle and adjust plans while things are changing mid trip for them.

Compared to the compensation I have seen offered during other problem cruises, I very much feel that the compensation that seems to be offered is fair. The passengers who were on the cruises that were cancelled and cut short midway through the trip are really the ones I am referring to. At initial amount of refunds and looking at the overall total cruise cost, it did feel a bit small. But once you truly break down what the cruise fares were from the taxes and any land portion, the fact that they are offered a full refund of cruise fare along with a future cruise credit equaling the same cruise fare.

Anytime things don't go as planned on a vacation that you have put your time and money into it is a very stressful time. This one unfortunately tied many hands in the process of rectifying and trying to salvage what is left of a vacation. Hopefully all of those onboard are now ready to try to re-book their Alaskan trip using their refund and future cruise credit to replace their lost trip.

Mexico: safe for the president's daughter

3/22/2012

I have been hearing all the warnings about avoiding travel to Mexico from the US State Department among many others. While I am aware that these warnings do not include tourist areas but focus on the areas that there is no tourist draw in the first place, not everyone waits to find out the additional information. The majority of the public hears "Avoid Mexico" and that's what they think they should do.
President Obama, with all of his advisors, recently had a daughter that was visiting Mexico so obviously the Obamas listened to the entire warning US citizens about Mexico travel. If the American public gathered all of their information before making a judgement, there would be more people enjoying the beauty and history that exists in Mexico.
My best advise is to not send your common sense on vacation just because you are away from the day to day grind. Be smart and always remain aware of your surroundings and you should be just fine.
