Cruise Tip: How many people are YOU choosing to put in your cabin ?




CRUISE TIP:  When you elect to put 3, 4, or 5 people in your cabin (cruise).  These extra persons will be on a bunk or a rollaway or a sofa bed.  You may soon discover, the length of the bed is not long enough, nor as comfortable, or a hassle in climbing up to or the added space it takes up in your room.  Once there (discovered), this is beyond anyone’s control, that it now doesn’t suit your needs or personal expectations.


SUGGESTION: Since you do not know these answers in advance, truly consider buying that extra room. Or know in your mind, in advance, that there “may be” some un-pleasantries, in choosing to add additional persons to your room, outside of 2.  It's understandable, that it may be a matter of extra cost for the room.  This is the choice you have to personally make, "for yourself" ... Money ... Comfort ... Expectations ?
 
REMINDER:  If you buy a cabin with no cabin number (TBA-To be announced), there is no promise to the type of bedding.  A sofa bed is considered a bed.  So is a rollaway.  Your room for 3 or 4, could be a bunk bed and rollaway for the 3rd & 4th in the room.  Often, it cost "more money" to receive a cabin # at time of booking.  Again, it's YOUR choice, in opting to pay, any additional necessary money, to meet your true expectations.

Travel Tip: “Where in the World” is your top bucket list dreams ? 7 Continents; 193 member countries of the UN




 
If you stopped to think, about 5 destinations, in the World, where you would want to venture to, “where might these be” ?

Yes … STOP … List your first 5 thoughts.
The best way to begin your dreams of seeing the World, is make a list.

 
Did you list, by way of continent, country, specific locations, or adventure ?
That’s just it … There’s many ways, to answer, what seems to be, such a simple question !
And next … Will this venture take you by way of land, cruise, or river cruise ?

There are 7 continents:  Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.
There are 193 member countries of the United Nations:  Go here for list, http://www.un.org/en/members/

I’ve traveled many locations around the World, mostly by cruise ship and river cruising.  Yet, there so many more places I want to see and adventures to experience ! 

My first thoughts in answer this question, for me, of which 5 destinations ?  Yangtze River Cruise, Canadian Rockies by rail, Christmas Marketplace River Cruise, Prague/Vienna/Budapest, and an African Safari.  However, I would also like to venture more in Ireland, Turkey, and all the many river cruises I’ve yet to explore !

I’m looking for folks who have the same type of travel dreams.  Call me, let’s get away together !
