We
are going to be hearing more about fuel surcharges being added to
the price of your cruise. Today no one enjoys a visit to the
gas station but you might want to consider that the modern cruise
ships use approximately 2000 gallons of fuel per hour. Also
consider that Royal Caribbean is reporting that their fuel costs
increased costs by $60 million in the first quarter 2008. Increased!
We
are getting so many news stories that it is getting impossible to
put them all in our Newsletter. So, we are going to just give
you the hilights of the articles. If you want to read the rest of the
article, just click on the link which will take you to a page with
the "long version" of the stories. Hope this works
out ok for everybody. (You can also access these stories any
time by clicking on Cruise
News. on
The
Cruiseman Web Site.)
Trying
to decide what to do with your Stimulus Check? May we suggest
making a deposit on a cruise for this year's vacation?
Deposits on most 3 night cruises are just $100pp, on most 4 day
cruises they are $150pp, on 5 day cruises $200pp, and $250pp on all 7
day cruises. It's your money, and you deserve a great vacation this
year! Give us a call, and we'll help you with the selection process.
Attention
East Coast Cruisers
Particularly those
of you in the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia, etc. The NCL
Majesty has been sailing from Charleston, SC for
several years now, doing the Western Caribbean and a few
Bermuda Cruises. Starting Nov. 15th she is going to shift to a
new itinerary featuring Grand Bahama Island, Nassau, Great Stirrup
Cay (private island), and Port Canaveral, FL. The stay at Port
Canaveral will be an extended one allowing time to visit the
attractions in Orlando, or a trip to the Space Center.
We checked dozens
of dates looking for the best rates, and it looks like Jan. 3rd
& 10th are the very best. All inside cabins are priced
at just $399*pp. All oceanview cabins are priced at $449*pp.
(the remainder of Jan. is just a bit higher) With "Run of
Ship" pricing like this, those that book the earliest will get
the best cabins. Call our office to reserve your place now.
(*govt. taxes & fuel charges are additional)
Happy
Hour is tomorrow! CLICK

Funnies
Yesterday I went
to the doctor for my yearly physical. My blood pressure was high, my
cholesterol was high, I'd gained some weight, and I didn't feel so hot.
My doctor said
eating right doesn't have to be complicated and it would solve my
physical problems. He said just think in colors; fill your plate with
bright colors; greens, yellows, reds, etc.
I went right home
and ate an entire bowl of M&M's and sure enough, I felt better
immediately. I never knew eating right could be so easy.
