I asked my clients ... What do you love about a cruise vacation and/or a land tour/all-inclusive ?


Why I love cruise vacations ...

Apparently I think cruising is the best vacation ... I've been on 113 cruises. Vivian M. Webb, MCC

It is the only vacation that I can truly escape from the “real world”, helping to get back a little sanity ! Samantha G., Colorado Springs, CO

I love that you pay one price and everything I need is included. And that I know the price and pay for it before I leave. Amanda C, Hollywood, CA

It’s all about no phones ! I don’t take my cell phone nor my computer. Mark F, Dallas, TX

I love all the food options on the menu, and not having to pay for each thing you order. And ordering more than you want, so you can pass it around for all to enjoy. When you have teenage boys, this is a plus for us ! And for my younger kids, if they don’t like it, I have no problem with them leaving it on the plate. Marie W., Daytona Beach, FL.

I love all the music and the dancing opportunities. Fred S., Charlotte, NC

I still love the “set dining time” on a cruise. 1st, I don’t have to decide where the group will dine tonight, like on land. And, I don’t have to remind my group to show up for dinner. If they don’t want to show, that’s their option. Jack M, Philadelphia, PA.

I love the option of doing a few things my wife likes to do, like shopping onboard together, then she turns around and does things I like to do, like gambling in the casino. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy things we each like, together. Jeff N., Atlanta, GA.

I like having a daily schedule and not having to figure out what I wish I might want to do. And then having the option to do all or none. Marion K, Biloxi, MS

It’s a great opportunity for my husband and I to get away for some alone time. And to meet new friendly people, every where we turn. Harriett M, Boston, MA

For me and my family, it’s the only vacation I will choose. Everyone comes home happy. George F, Charlotte, NC.


Land Tour Packages/All-Inclusive

I have not taken a total true land package before. I have visited several All-Inclusive resorts, to get to know these resorts, when I was in port on my cruise. I did take a guided tour in Greece once, which I loved, but it also included a cruise ! There are tour operators out there, that will offer cruise & land tour package combos ! These are nice; Best of both words.

Sometimes I like to go to one place, but not often, so we choose All-Inclusives as a change. Samantha L, Orlando, FL

When you choose a Tour Operators like Globus or Trafalga or Tauck Tours, you experience, first hand, their knowledge and their love, for the destination you are taking on their tour. Olivia F, Augusta, GA.

I prefer guided tours, versus going off into the foreign countries on my own. Gary N, Boloxi, MI.

I love All-Inclusive resorts, because it’s all included ! Kashandra L, Washington DC.


Which vacation will you take next ?
