It was only a matter of time, but I just read about a group of travel agents and agencies (which shall remain nameless for now) have come up with a new scam. I find it to be deplorable. With the present market having so many price reductions, which usually results
Back on July 21, 2008 I laid out many of the details for the new Seabourn Odyssey. I thought it might just be a good time to repeat some of that content since Seabourn is providing a bit more information about the Seabourn Odyssey on its blog. Here is what
After a lot of thought and work I have just “gone live” with the new Goldring Travel website. You can find it at: https://goldringtravel.com/ And now you can simply go to the site, click on This Is My Yacht and see this blog without having to go to another site

I remain fascinated (sort of like a moth with a light bulb) by the rather perverse cheerleaders for Regent Seven Seas Cruises. These once or twice a year passengers (especially one from Bellingham, Washington) have an obsession with “correcting”, challenging, even outright harassing of anyone…and I mean anyone…that dare speak anything but
Last year was a bit of disappointment for me. I went to a Jimmy Buffett concert expecting a great crowd of laid back partiers. Instead I saw a bunch of overweight and over-the-hill people that I could not conceive of ever having been “wasted away in Margaritaville”. Then I went
