IN THE MOOD FOR A CRUISE????

Beth, our travel agent, writes:

"Don’t assume that online booking is your best bet. Not only do we offer ALL the pricing you’ll find on Vacation.com, but also special group pricing on even more departures. And, when you book with a agency that sells lots of cruises (like we do) you’re more likely to get free upgrades and more likely to get bigger upgrades than if you booked direct with the cruise line. Here are just a few of the great deals we have on the list right now…

Celebrity Solstice, October 17 from Ft Lauderdale
7-night Eastern Caribbean cruise from $610-940 p/p (+ taxes & government fees)
$100 onboard credit per cabin

Carnival Ecstasy, September 18 from Galveston
5 night Western Caribbean cruise from $250-290 p/p (+ taxes & government fees)
$75 onboard credit per cabin

Disney Magic, April 10 from Port Canaveral
14-night Transatlantic cruise to Barcelona from $699 p/p (+ taxes and government fees)
$25 onboard credit per cabin

Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas, April 3 and 10 from Ft. Lauderdale
7 night Eastern Caribbean cruise from $949 p/p (+ taxes/fees)
onboard agency gift (varies depending on cabin type)

7 night Western Caribbean cruises from $899 p/p (May 1, 15, 29)
onboard agency gift (varies depending on cabin type)"

"To me, today at age 61, all prayer by the humble or highly placed has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best impulses which should bind us together for a better world. Without such inspiration we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish." Walt Disney (Source: startedbyamouse.com)
