If you can't beat them join them.
If you can't beat the Snow, join us on a cruise.
It seems like the people in the snow belt are calling for cruises more this year than they have in the past.
The snow has a way of tiring people. They need to take a break away from the snow, so they head south to the 80 plus degree weather South Florida has been having latley. Seems that cruising is on thier minds more than years gone by. I am sure word of mouth has a lot to do with that. Thier friends go on a cruise, can't stop raving and plants the seed of cruising. Next thing you know, they are on the phone calling us up to get a way from the cold, so they have a few stories of their own to tell.
We still have some room left on the 2, 3 and 4 night cruises and we are getting tight for space on the 7 night cruises, so hurry and call today 954-969-0069 or toll free 888-969-0069.
I will see you down here, where you can take your winter coat off and enjoy the warm Sun.

Cruise and Travel Insurance
What does cruise and travel insurance cover
- Personal illness
- Cancellation of plans by a travel partner
- Airline delays
- Lost baggage
- Cruise line going out of business
A common feeling is, "This will never happen to me" attitude or you might even say, "Nothing that exciting ever happens to me"
Just cover yourself, be safe this time, at least on my watch.
In addition to comprehensive packages, insurance companies offer stand alone add-on's.
They could include:
"Cancel for any reason" these policies are very expensive and may only make sense in certain circumstances
Airline accident coverage
Car rental collision coverage
Upgraded medical coverage.
Emergency evacuation
Cruise-Line or Third-Party Insurance?
When purchasing trip insurance, you have lots of options. Almost every cruise line offers their own travel insurance program. Here is the bad news about cruise lines insurance, it is, "secondary coverage" (secondary coverage means, you will need to try to get recovery from your regular home owners, auto or health insurance company first, then the cruise lines insurance will help with the rest), It is more limited than coverage you can purcace on your own. Ask your travel agent for third party insurance. The Travel Agency always shops for the best coverage for it's clients.
Purcase your Cruise - travel insurance with your first deposit. Waiting too long to buy the insurance can cost you some important benifits.

European cruises and 2 night European cruises
Barcelona and it's city and night life, Dubrovnik, Florence and the Renaissance treasures, Istanbul and it's mystical people, Portofino you got to be there, Rome and their ruins and Venice and it's enchantment.
All wonderful places to visit, but is it still safe?
My direct answer to you is, YES.
It is a good bet, that if the cruises lines are sailing to a particular area, then it is safe. In some cases about as safe as it is here in my home town of America.
So the only thing you should concern yourself with, is how much time will your boss or your schedual wil allow you to take for this European cruise thing.
I found some cruises that Our Agents can help you with.
Call Wally for the experience or Amy for her patience.
