LUXURY CRUISING
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF LUXURY CRUISING! ©
LUXURY, as they say, is all in the details. It is so often that the attention to those "little details", is what makes all the difference between a luxury cruise, compared to a mass market cruise. And those differences are many. One of the biggest, and nicest differences, is that these luxury vessels - some of which, are actually considered yachts, rather than ships - are designed for guests numbering in the hundreds, rather than in the thousands. The ambiance onboard is very personal, individual and accommodating - "upscale, but not uptight".
We began cruising many years ago, on the mass market cruise lines. Those of you who've cruised before, may remember the first time you walked onto a cruise ship. A waiter was standing there with drinks, so you took one. Then, to your surprise, the waiter asked you for your boarding pass, and you asked "Why?" "Because I need to charge it to your account".
Well, it's not much different today, except that most of the "mass market" cruise lines nickel and dime you for every little thing. Amenities such as cocktails, sodas, bottled water, specialty coffees, alternative dining, and even ice cream, all come with a price these days. One line is even going to start adding a surcharge for late night room service, which has always been complimentary in the past. The list goes on and on. So much for that "all-inclusive" vacation.
If you're frustrated by the nickel & diming, the waiting in long lines everywhere you go, because you're just one out of thousands of passengers onboard, and the impersonal service, we've got the solution for you!
Most luxury cruise vacations include at no extra charge: Alternative Dining, soda, bottled water, cocktails, butler service, 6-star dining and impeccable service, gratuities, some shore excursions, lifestyle classes, and many other options as well. And you pay far less for all of this, than you might believe! In most instances, you can go on a Luxury Cruise, for LESS than a traditional mass market trype of cruise! Think about it: If you pay $2,000. for a regular cruise, and then have a $2,000. onboard bill, for all the cocktails, soft drinks, cappuccinos, bottled water, alternative dining, gratuities, etc, you're probably paying more than you would for a Luxury Cruise, where all of those items are INCLUDED!
