Carnival Cruise to South America - see Machu Picchu, Galapagos, Rio & More

See America del Sur (South America) on a "Fun Ship" with  Carnival Cruises

Yes, there is an entire continent to explore just south of - well, Panama - but still pretty close as continents go, I mean heck, it's close enough to share our last name (if you live in the US of A or North America that is)

So what, you ask is there to see there? A LOT, read on....

Carnival Splendor will offer three South America voyages in February and March 2013. A 17-day “South America Explorer” cruise will depart Long Beach Feb. 3 and arrive Santiago (Valparaiso), Chile, Feb. 20, 2013, visiting Cabo San Lucas and Huatulco, Mexico; Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala; Quito (Manta),

Ecuador, where guests can embark on an excursion to the Galapagos; Lima (Callao), Peru, offering an opportunity to visit Machu Picchu; and Arica, Chile.

A 13-day “Fjords, Glaciers & Patagonia” voyage will operate from Santiago (Valparaiso) to Buenos Aires, Argentina, Feb. 20 to March 5, 2013, calling at Puerto Montt, Chile, before cruising the Chilean Fjords and Darwin Channel. This breathtaking itinerary is followed by calls at Punta Arenas, Chile; Ushuaia and Puerto Madryn, Argentina; and Montevideo, Uruguay.

An 18-day “Brazilian & Caribbean Splendor” voyage sailing from Buenos Aires to New York March 5-23, 2013, will feature ports that include Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Recife, and Fortaleza, Brazil; Bridgetown, Barbados; and Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands.

If you have some time to spare and a willingness to experience a huge part of the world that shares so much with the US (after all, South America is part of the "New World" also) then get with EZTravelPad for ideas. There are many, many ways to see the world, and a Carnival cruise is one affordable way

Costa Concordia Accident - Some Perspective

Costa Concordia Cruise Fallout

It has been only a few days now since the Costa Cruise Ship Concordia ran aground off the coast of Italy. There is still an ongoing search for possible survivors and speculation abounds regarding what could have caused this tragic and sensational accident. Carnival Corp - the parent company of Costa - is scrambling and all blame is pointing toward the captain, and I believe rightly so. It is hard to imagine, yet still not surprising that a lapse in judgment could cause such a terrible tragedy. No doubt that the investigation and inevitable trial will be in the news for months, if not years to come.

So what does that mean for the cruise industry? Will people still want a cruise vacation? From my perspective all signs point to yes - for now. This appears to not be a failure of a company, or an industry, or a product -  but the failure of a man. It appears, at this early stage, that this is just a tragic accident that was totally preventable. There are systems and rules and procedures that should be followed each and every time to prevent things like this from occurring. There is a little thing called training that should be implemented more consistently across all industries, especially those that serve the retail public.

Since I am sure that all travel consultants, advisers and agents are now dealing with answering the question - "is it safe to go on a cruise?" I thought I would just take a moment to share my response to that concern - my reply to the concern voiced from a client recently booked on an Alaska cruise for this coming spring. It seems some of the group is seriously rethinking whether to go now - here was my reply

"I can see why that would give someone pause, but like anything else, danger is all around.
By and large it is an exceedingly safe industry.
I could probably find some stats to rattle off, but why bother. To the unlucky person that does get struck by lightening on the golf course, there is little consolation that the odds are against it.
To me a small amount of risk in return for seeing and experiencing is worth it. That said, you won't find me jumping out of a perfectly good airplane even if I am jumping tandem with the world's best skydiver - no way baby!!
Cruise, pretty safe all in all."

What do I know? Not much I suppose, in the big scheme of things - but I do know that I will not let the stupidity and cowardice of one individual keep me from experiencing as much of the world as possible. I mean, I saw the Poseidon Adventure (the original) and Titanic (DiCaprio version) and did not let that dissuade me from a cruise vacation - I saw Jaws (skipped the remakes) and still get in the ocean - I saw Airport (what an excellent disaster movie) and still fly.....

Life is short and there is much to see - and a cruise ship is a great way to see a good part of the world, so here's to the next great adventure-

Lastly, we would like to express our sincere condolences to those who lost a loved one, and those that experienced this horrible event firsthand yet survived.

Paul Gauguin Cruise Ship - Subtle Luxury

Paul Gauguin Cruises in South Pacific

If you read this blog frequently - even occasionally - you will see that I have posted much about my trip to French Polynesia (Tahiti) earlier this year and have several videos on EZTravelPad's YouTube Channel. Why? - simple - it was amazing. The beauty, the people, the food, the other travelers, it is simply one of the most romantic destinations on the planet. It interested me, and I needed to learn more - and sell it more, so recently I completed a specialist course pertaining to Paul Gauguin Cruises. Now I know what I need to know to more fully represent all of the amazing choices that are available on a vacation to French Polynesia.

 

Why Paul Gauguin Cruises? Here are a few of the reasons

Best Dining– 1st Place Small Ship"
Cruise Critic - Cruisers' Choice Award (2011)

That's right - of all the small ships cruising the planet, this ship was named best in dining, and to me that is so important!

Paul Gauguin cruises is owned by a parent company that offers a wide range of options throughout French Polynesia (without going into detail, their land based resorts were among my favorites) and their newest project is building The Brando

The Brando, a luxury eco-resort featuring 47 deluxe bungalow villas on the late actor's remote private island, 100% fully self-sustaining by renewable energy.

When it opens, this place won't just be on my Bucket List - it will be on top of my Bucket List....but back to Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin Cruises French Polynesia and The Cook Islands

French Polynesia

Comprised of 118 islands and atolls scattered over 1.5 million square miles in the South Pacific, the islands are divided into five island groups or archipelagos: the Marquesas Islands (North-East), the Tuamotu Islands (East), the Society Islands(West), the Austral Islands(South-West) and the Gambier Islands (South-East).
Of these, the Paul Gauguin visits the Society Islands, the Tuamotu, the Marquesas as well as the Cook Islands which are owned by New Zealand and in 2012 we will be visiting the Australs.
Each of the islands has its own particular charms and character, and warm, friendly people who have adapted the ancient rhythms of the ocean and the sun to the modern day. Consisting of either "high" volcanic islands or low lying coral atolls, aside from Tahiti itself and Bora Bora, the islands are still sparsely populated and remain mysterious and intriguing even in this modern day.

You will discover ports as varied and spectacular as a South Pacific sunset. Plus, thanks to the ship’s small size, you’ll visit spots that larger cruise ships just can’t reach - all in style and luxury aboard the award-winning m/s Paul Gauguin.

Tahiti is a year-round destination! It enjoys pleasant tropical weather that averages 80 degrees Fahrenheit, year-round. Situated south of the equator, the seasons in Tahiti are reversed:
-November to March is summer in Tahiti…warm, humid and often sunny.
-April to October is winter in Tahiti…typically warm and sunny.
The French Polynesian Islands enjoy a tropical climate with one of the highest numbers of hours of sunshine per year in the world at nearly 3000! Average air temperature is 79°F; average water temperature in the lagoons is a fairly constant 80°F.

What About Beyond Tahiti?

Moorea- (moh-oh-ray-ah), is only 11 miles from Tahiti and many visitors say it is worth the visit just to see the islands spectacular bays. The volcanic peaks, reflected in the waters of Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay, rise like a shark's jaw from the island's base. The bustle of Papeete is behind you as we spot the sharp volcanic peaks on the horizon, crowned by a few pearly clouds. Shark sighting on nearly every dive makes this island a popular diving destination. At times a tuna will come by or dolphins will be heard clicking just out of sight.
A wide, shallow lagoon surrounds the island's vertical mountains where poetic threads of waterfalls tumble down fern-softened cliffs. Peaceful meadows flanked by pinnacles of green will fill your senses and renew your belief in the majesty of nature. Pastel-painted houses surrounded by gardens of hibiscus and birds of paradise, circle the island in a fantasy of happy, yet simple villages.
Polynesian legend describes the panorama of volcanic ridges as the second dorsal fin of the fish that became the island of Tahiti. These pinnacles later inspired the mythical "Bali Hai" that was based on James Michener's book, Tales of the South Pacific.

What's Included?

Depending on the category of your suite, you can select up to 2 bottles of spirits from m/s Paul Gauguin's extensive standard list; selections are available from the premium list at an additional charge. Soft drinks, bottled water and mixers are all available complimentary.
Additionally, guests can select blankets or duvets and the number and type of bed pillows, and even the types of fruits to be included in their basket!

This, of course, is in addition to excellent Polynesian entertainers on-board

Thinking of Taking Young Ones?

Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society -
Ambassadors of the Environment Youth Program
Explorer and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau is committed to the belief that the survival of the world’s oceans depends on capturing the imagination at a young age. In order to ensure that conservation remains a priority among future generations, he created the Ambassadors of the Environment Youth Program under the auspices of the Ocean Futures Society.
This unique, groundbreaking program introduces young travelers (ages 9 to 17) to the extraordinary natural wonders of French Polynesia through direct, hands-on, interactive experiences with marine and island ecosystems. Young Ambassadors explore coral reefs, hike rainforest trails, and visit marae (ancient Polynesian temples). They also learn how black pearls and vanilla are cultivated, how volcanic islands become coral atolls, and how to paddle an outrigger canoe. Parents are encouraged to join children on some of the eco-excursions and other activities aboard and ashore. The Ambassadors of the Environment Youth Program is available on cruises during the summer months, as well as select holiday sailings for a nominal fee. Mr. Cousteau is also occasionally a guest on board.

Tip of the Iceberg

While there are no icebergs in French Polynesia, what I have just describes is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what you can expect cruising French Polynesia with m/s Paul Gauguin. Here is an example for 10 mights-

The possibilities are endless, but you might

Snorkel with whales, swim with sharks, dive the "wall of sharks", hike, picnic on a private island, learn, experience and fall in love with a place so beautiful it will make you want to cry.

Hey, it's a short life and you better experience all that you can - while you can - and this is one experience that you would never regret splurging on.

I am just back from a week at a Sandals resort in Ocho Rios Jamaica, and boy did I learn alot!

 
part of the private Sandals beach in Ocho Rios

 

• I learned that the Sandals Grande Riviera is really looking good -

• I learned that Negril still looks the same as it did 20 years ago (except Rick's Cafe has expanded some)
• I learned that the "new road" is still not the same as an interstate
• I learned that if you want to scuba you better download the form before you go and get any required physician's signatures in the US (they are VERY cautious with guest's health at these resorts)
• But mostly I learned that people really believe that stuff about 65% off

Seriously? I guess I (and other travel agents also) do a lousy job of getting the word out that all these sales (Sandals is perpetually 60-65% off anytime you go to their website - at least anytime in the last 3 years...) - these perpetual sales that you can find any moment on the internet...they are just fluff. Everything is ALWAYS on sale - cruises are routinely 75-87% off - but off of what?

Who pays full fare?

Don't get me wrong - Sandals does a fantastic job of marketing their product - and it is a good product. I experienced it for 7 days last week and have VERY few complaints (there is always something that isn't 100% perfect, right?).

I guess my surprise, and the point of this post stems from several conversations with guests. Sandals guests tend to be very friendly ad out-going (alcohol maybe??) - I met many great people and invariably the topic of "what do you do?" came up. Frequently when guests learned that I was a travel agent/consultant/adviser we would talk travel - where have you been, where do you like best, etc. They were always very generic conversations, i mean- the last thing I would want to do is go to someone's place and start selling THEIR customers, so I was always very careful in how I responded to questions like - "so what do you think about this place?" - it's awesome of course!

The thing that I found most interesting was the amount of certainty that people held in their belief of their price being really special - the "I got a great deal" syndrome was rampant. People just don't believe that the Sandals price and the internet price and the agent price and the EZTravelPad price are exactly............THE SAME!!! Furthermore, it's the same situation with just about every resort company or cruise line or hotel or tour operator or wholesale packager on the planet. Nearly every time the agent price and the direct booking price are identical.

• Is there anything wrong with going directly to the source? No.
• Is there any advantage to booking direct? No.
• Is doing your own direct booking wrong? No.
• Is doing your own direct booking smart? Not really - because by using an impartial agent/consultant/adviser you can get advice - advice that you will not get from going direct, and you will usually pay ZERO (zilch, $0 - Nada)for that advice.

So, what did we learn? That if you want 65% off your next all inclusive vacation you need to go directly to the source - or the internet - or your preferred agent, because the pricing is ALL THE SAME almost every time - and when it's not (I cannot speak for every agent on planet earth) most agents will match the price.

Plus- even if you are paying a premium for your agent (and some top agents do charge premium fees)- how much value is their in having a go-to person when things go wrong? Do you REALLY like dealing with the call center? Really?

An Agent can help you make the best choice

What incentive does a resort have with making sure you have the best connections or even digging a little deeper to find a non-stop? Not much...

How likely is it that a tour company (Apple Vacations for example) will suggest that their competitor has a better flight option, or a better price? Not a chance in the world.

Do you know every place to shop for best combination of price/flights/room availability? Unlikely

How likely is it that the internet based travel agency is going to take the time to meet with you 1-on-1 to REALLY find out what you want for your next experience (and the one after that?).

Vacation planning is an art - and a science. It is something that someone like myself takes pride in - helping people get the most value for their most important commodity - TIME

So people, next time you are contemplating going somewhere - find an agent that you can be comfortable working with, and at least ask them for a quote - what do you have to lose? What do you have to GAIN?

But, just in case I haven't yet convinced you, and you are still holding out for the biggest sale yet - here you go.

THIS Fall - Oct 3-6 to Riviera Maya in Mexico.... an EZTravelpad exclusive at 99.98% OFF List Price - It's UNBELIEVABLE

Package includes RT air from Chicago, 3 nights at a 5 Star All-Adult All-Inclusive Resort ...plus a T-shirt plus.... 2 bottles of water!!.....all for only $855 pp dbl - That's 99.98% off the regular EZTravelpad price of only $42,750 per person*** - WOW - the deal of a lifetime!!

*** - ok, the 99.98% off is made up, so don't believe it - I'm just trying to illustrate the point that these savings that companies are routinely touting (off list price) are just numbers pulled out of thin air - numbers that sound enticing.... but the $855pp is real - and it's a steal! Hope to see you there!

European River Cruises On Sale Now For Singles

Want to avoid the "Single Supplement" on your European River Cruise?

Uniworld, a leader in European River Cruising has recently announced that they are waiving the dreaded "Single Supplement" on many European River Cruises for departures in 2011. What does this mean?

What it means is tremendous savings for single travelers- Read on.

 

Traditionally cruise ships price their cabins for double occupancy. For example, if a departure is priced for $3000 per person, a single traveler can frequently pay 150-200% of that amount to travel alone! Yet, for many departures in 2011 Uniworld has waived the single supplement, meaning that single travelers can cruise many of the rivers of Europe at tremendous savings.

Some of the departures available this year are:

 

Enchanting Danube

7 nts Budapest-Passau

June 26, July 10 & 31,Aug 7, Oct 23, Nov 06

 

Castles Along the Rhine

7 nts Amsterdam-Basel

Imperial Capitals of Europe

14 nts Istanbul- Vienna

April 16, July 17 & 25, Oct 10

 

Danube Holiday Market

7 nts Budapest- Passau

Dec 12 & 19

and there are many more from which to choose!

Do you love history, food, wine, architecture, and music?

A European River Cruise is something on the bucket list of most baby boomers seeking travel experiences that they can cherish for a lifetime. There is nothing quite like meandering along the rivers of Europe as castles and vineyards pass by just a few hundred yards in the distance. Essentially you experience a guided tour in a 4 star hotel at your own pace, and best of all, you see much of Europe but only need unpack once!

There is nothing quite like the enrichment and educational programs offered by the cruise lines that specialize in bringing The Old Country to life as you pass through the heart of Europe and see it from a perspective like those that navigated these waters centuries earlier.

So if you would love to see Europe from a unique perspective but don't have a travel partner, this is your opportunity.

You can do it yourself, or you can enlist the help of "Your friends....in the travel business" - EZTravelpad

Cruising Outside the Box- Small Ship Cruise in Great Lakes or Great Rivers

Think Cruising is All About Oceans? Think Again.

European River Cruises not the only option for Cruising Rivers

As a travel agent I'm supposed to know everything- right? Well, none of us do - but we know who does.... Being a travel agent (or as I like to think of it- a travel consultant) means that we know who knows the answers to questions. There is WAY too much to know about all things travel, and there is WAY, WAY too much information out there for the average consumer to digest- so most people rely on word of mouth - or the TV (so why do you trust the TV news now all of ta sudden?) - or they rely on past experiences. Other people ask their travel consultant. When someone asks me a travel related question that I don't know the answer to, I go to the community of agents for the answer- they know absolutely everything, because between them they have experienced everything!

Recently I asked such a question and ran across a small company specializing in small ship cruises through some of the most beautiful and interesting destinations in the US

So how is it then, that you find out about something cool like a Small Ship Cruise on Lake Michigan? How do you learn about the luxury delivered right from the heart of Chicago? Maybe from your travel agent? Here's an interesting and wonderful cruise right in the heart of the Midwest-

• Day 1: Chicago, IL
• Day 2: Holland, MI
• Day 3: Beaver Island, MI
• Day 4: Sault Ste Marie, MI
• Day 5: Mackinac Island, MI
• Day 6: Sturgeon Bay, WI
• Day 7: Milwaukee, WI
• Day 8: Chicago, IL

 Ever been to Mackinac Island? Here's a little more info and some phootos of a place with no motorized vehicles- only bicycles and horse-drawn carriages!

 Ever taken the time to see Chicago- so many things to do and see, from world class museums and shows - to world class skyscapers and more

Cruising Lake Michigan isn't the only option either- you can cruise

• Lake Erie to New York City
• Coastal cities of Southeast (Savannah, Charleston, Beaufort, Jekyll Island, Amelia Island & More)
• Islands of New England
• Chicago to New Oleans
• Many more itineraries

There are simply so many things to do that just require some time, imagination, and yes- some money... so what do you do? Get with your travel consultant and discuss what apepals to you - so where do YOU want to go? If you don't have a travel consultant- check out EZTravelpad for some great ideas.

River Cruises- Watching the Castles of Europe pass as you float by in Luxury

European River Cruises Offer Europe from a Seldom seen Perspective

You may have never heard of a European River Cruise, or it may be on your bucket list. You may have cruised the Danube or Rhine, or may know someone who has. In any case, if it's not yet on your radar, it soon will be. As U.S. Baby Boomers see their portfolios recover from the Great Recession - and enter retirement with an energy and youthful exhuberance not seen before - with a desire to see the world, and the means to make it happen, what is on their bucket list?

As more mature couples fall in love and marry, what are they looking for in a Honeymoon? Beaches and a tropical paradise are great when you are young but at a certain point- for many, the desire for a little something different emerges...
