Unfortunately, I have not been traveling much this year other than my annual trip to Peace River, FL and Busch Gardens in Tampa. It seems that some years are quieter than others and the consensus opinion of the economy this year has proven that I am not the only one that has experienced similar slowdown.
But, in the upcoming weeks I will have a reprieve as I sail on back to back weekends on one of the newest ships out there and one of the oldest ships still in the mass-market cruise industry. The day after Thanksgiving, I sail on the Oasis of the Seas; Royal Caribbean’s goliath ship that has been the talk of the industry for a couple of years now, and the following weekend, I board Carnival’s Imagination for a light 3-night cruise to the Bahamas with the family. What a difference these two ships are, but if you love cruising the way I do, I will enjoy them equally, yet differently.
And finally, somewhat off topic, I managed to join Facebook after all the requests from friends and family. Although I am somewhat reluctant about it, I have come to grips that it is here to stay (in some format or another) and figured if I was to be on it, I would use it as a tool to reflect my travel business. Look me up and read about what is happening in the Travel sector and look for the other specials and group opportunities that I will be posting there. Till next time…
