Just before the holidays I had mentioned Regent Seven Seas Cruises would be announcing it was going to be offering a number of cruises with shore excursions included. What this affords you is the ability to have a truly “all inclusive” cruise experience. With Regent Seven Seas having a complimentary liquor policy (restrictions as to
I have received a number of requests to comment on the post of someone (“Admiral Horatio Nelson” who says he is a former Regent Seven Seas Cruises employee) on Cruise Critic and Luxury Cruise Talk that were pulled. I had said that I would post something, so here it is… As many of you know
I was going to wait until I got all the information, but I figured “What the heck. Let’s start the discussion now.” Seabourn decided a few months ago to end most of its complimentary Seabourn Experiences (http://goldringtravel.blogspot.com/2008/09/seabourn-is-discontinuing-complimentary.html) and, obviously, it was not met with great joy. While I know many of my clients did not
The other day I wrote about Mark Conroy, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ open letter and Regent’s new efforts to provide what it has promised it would be providing all along. I am hopeful, but not enthusiastic. Well, I am a member of the Tahoe Mountain Club – a sort of country club for skiers

(I will post that in a seperate
Happy Holidays! I have been enjoying a bit of quiet time with my family, so I have not been posting these last few days. (OK, so my son breaking his wrist snowboarding the other day wasn’t so quiet, but he has his badge of honor – a cast). Sorry for the lack of new info
It was announced today that NCL’s F3 project will be going forward with an estimated delivery date of May 2010. Very few details have been announced about the deal between STX France and NCL, but what has been said is that as of now the F3 project is for one ship, with the second ship being
A few weeks ago I posted about how being uninformed can lead to misperceptions and result in comments like, “I am not going to THAT part of the world. It just isn’t safe.”…lumping the entire Middle East into a truly undeserved “No Go” area. Frankly, many Americans have difficulty in understanding the geography, no less
Over the past week…and especially the past three weeks…we all have seen something none of us have ever experienced and, worse, we do not really know where it all will be going. Today someone pointed out an article in the New York Times which was a very interesting read: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/04/fashion/04SHOPPING.html?_r=1&emc=eta1. Basically, it is about Saks
