First off if this needs to be in the Sandbox let me know...
OK so the wife and I celebrated our tenth ann. back in September. Our original plans where a trip someplace warm and sunny during this upcoming spring break. I contacted a travel agent (first mistake) and specified no children, adult only (second mistake). Now when the T/A sent over the first sets of email I checked everything out and was fine with untilI caught a section pretaining to escorts and how we could have our pic every 24 hours. Apparently the T/A thought I meant a "Lifestyles" vacation for my wife and I. Though I pondered it for a minute (long enough to hear the whistling sound of my wifes hand before it left a dent in the side of my head) perhaps we aren't ready to explore that aspect of our relationship. Soo.... I've been instructed by the wife to find us a nice cruise to go on. Without Porn stars, escorts, or nudity. Thoughts, advice, opinions? Thanks! Mike D. |

My wife has been a travel agent for 15 (?) years now, so I've been all over the world.
#1- Your agent should be very clear on what you want. Adults only should not mean swingers. #2- Your agent should be able to put you on a cruise line that suits your age. Some lines draw an older crowd, some a younger crowd. Experience is a big factor here. #3- Do you want glitz, shows, and 5 star food, or a small ship/educational/ecotourism type trip. We tend toward the small ship sort of thing, and I would say my personal favorites have been central america to see the myan ruins. Belize, Honduras, Cancun, etc. Also the Sea of Cortez is pretty amazing during the whale season. IMO the Hawaii cruise is pricey, only Norweigien does it, and there is too much to see to see it on a cruise. A good agent can get you a land package, 2 islands, 3 islands, 7 days, 10 days.........you name it. My wife tends toward Pleasant Holidays, but there are several good wholesalers out there that specialize in tour packages. Maybe you need a better agent, or be a bit more specific with the one you have. The western carribean itinerary is nice. If memory serves, it hits Jamaica, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and.....I forget. Almost forgot. I don't know if it's still nice, but we spent one anniversary at Sandals in Jamaica. Very nice place when we were there. Souples only. All inclusive pricing is pretty painless too. That's my $.02 BTW If you have triple A (you must, you own a 914) use thier agents. I think they tend to be pretty good. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
