GROUP travel has never been more popular, and for good reason:

• Travelling with friends and family can be more fun
• Save money with group rates
• Potentially travel for free if you are the group organizer or leader!
• Added amenities and bonuses, and better payment terms
• Make memories together!

A GROUP can be smaller than you might think:  An all-inclusive or tour group can be as few as 10 people, and a cruise group is typically 16 people

Think you might have a GROUP?  Contact Me - I have experience with putting together groups for flights, cruises, mission and volunteer trips, and all-inclusive vacations (including Destination Weddings)!  I can source exactly what you need and also negotiate the best rates and amenities for your group.

Are you considering taking a cruise but aren’t sure if cruising is really for you?  Let’s address 10 common questions about cruising:

1. Is Cruising Expensive?  Depending on your departure point and the itinerary you choose, the price of your cruise may seem high at first glance, but take into account that your cruise fare includes accommodation, meals, entertainment and activities for you and your children. Compared to the costs of a land vacation, a cruise will quite often be a more economical choice.  Also, if you haven’t looked lately, some of the prices out these days are very low, and the value is exceptional.

Travel brochures are packed with useful information and pictures, and can be a great help when planning a trip.  In their traditional paper version, they are also bulky, certainly not eco-friendly, and they quickly become out of date and obsolete.   Many of my trusted travel suppliers actually produce electronic versions of their brochures, and so I added a section on my blog site to list them for you.  Just click on ‘E-brochures’ tab!

Sunquest is partnering with MSC again for it’s 2010 cruise program -choose from one of 4 fabulous ships with unique 7 night itineraries, and air is included with all bookings!    In addition to already low prices, the first 500 passengers to book inside cabins also get a free upgrade to a balcony!   Don’t wait, contact me today for a quote.

When you book virtually any cruise you can get the price adjusted if it drops before final payment date (usually 70 days prior to sailing). With Royal Caribbean’s new Price Guarantee, even if the price drops after final payment date, they will honor that rate by applying an onboard credit to the reservation equal to the price difference.  Book your Royal Caribbean cruise in advance to get the best sailing and stateroom locked up, and you are still guaranteed the lowest rate!
