Norway and Hurtigruten
During off season or soft sailings the cruise lines will reduce or eliminate the single supplement. A lot of seniors have lost their partner and are reluctant to share a cabin, be it friend or stranger. The usual single supplement is 200% on the cabin cost. That is double the price. When cruise lines come out with promotions with reduced or no single supplement, I contact my singles.
I got excited when I saw this: Hurtigruten Waives Single Supplement through April 14
Hurtigruten waives the single supplement on six- to 12-day itineraries along Norway’s fjord-filled west coast.
The offer may be combined with the AARP Member Discount, which allows guests to save up to 25 percent off select Norway voyages and receive up to $70 onboard credit, and the Repeater Discount, which gives guests who have traveled onboard Hurtigruten within the last three years savings of up to 10 percent off a subsequent voyage. For more information, call me at 1-877-435-3344, 561-202-9020 or visit www.hurtigruten.us.
I live in Florida, need I say more? When I first moved to Florida, I worked in nursing homes and did private duty. I got tired of my seniors being on their last stop of the tour of life. I wanted a career that made people happy. What could be happier than sending people on vacations? Dealing so well with seniors, made finding a niche easy.
Riding the Rails Last week I came back for riding the Rocky Mountaineer. What a great trip! After flat Florida, seeing snow covered mountains and experiencing Canadian hospitality, I look forward to going back. Once I have gone through all my pictures and videos, I will post here.
I had not realized how many trains, beside Amtrak, run in America. Click the above link to see where in the US these trains are and where they go.
The travel agent is not dead. We just specialize now. Apple Vacations has put out a video that shows why you should use a travel agent. Use a travel agent. Click the link to see why.
Turkey is on my bucket list and one of these days I will get there. But till then, I like this quick video. Mark Murphy talks about Turkey
Alaska Story I am making more reservations this year for Alaska than ever. One of these days I will find my pictures of my trip to Alaska and post them. I did the land only portion; Anchorage, Fairbanks and Denali. I had the best Chinese food in Anchorage and was amazed. Next time I will do the cruise and see Victoria Island. So many places in the world to see and so little vacation time.
It might be small, but there is no single supplement. I wish more cruise lines had single cabins.
