Today is Travel Agent Appreciation Day! And I have a favor to ask... If you are looking to travel, please book your trip with a travel agent! Many are struggling to stay in business right now with not as many people traveling as usual and every booking helps! It does not cost anything to use a travel professional and you will get the same rates as booking direct. And sometimes a TA can find you a better deal!!

Even if you know exactly what you want, instead of booking it online, contact a TA and let them book it for you. This way you are still getting exactly what you want and you are supporting a small business at no cost to you at all!!

I am a travel agent, but if you have one you know and love, please contact them. If you do not have a relationship with a TA, I would love to be your point of contact for your travels!! So just email me at [email protected]

Thanks Travel FAM!!

Cruise News: Prices are going up, not just for the cruise but other things.

but bookings are still going up, Cruise ships are filling up.

Feel free to contact me to book your next cruise! I give extra perks that you won't get booking direct.

One of the Cruise Vloggers I follow just posted a video about a slipping and broken ankle thing that happened while on one of the private island stops. Very sad early ending to a Cruise.

One reason I always recommend my clients to get Travel insurance, it would cover emergency, transportation, loss of money from cruise etc. Get the insurance!

Lots of changes always happening with travel these days.
just as things seem to be getting better and back to normal......
Like Cruising, Hope you have your cruises booked (if not not contact me right away to book your next cruise)
Prices are going up with the fuel costs rising.

Airline flight pricing is going up and changing by the day too.
Yikes.

If anyone is traveling to Vegas we just lifted the Mask Mandate for most everywhere, there are still some exceptions to this so be aware.

Governor Steve Sisolak has lifted the state's mask mandate effective immediately.

Masks will no longer be required in public places, but there are locations where Nevadans and visitors may still be asked to wear a mask.

Masks and protective equipment requirements in facilities serving vulnerable populations - like hospitals, clinics and long-term care facilities - will be overseen at the direction of the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services.

Federally, masks are still mandated in airports, on planes and on public buses and school buses.

For more coronavirus information, visit lasvegasnevada.gov/coronavirus.

Cruise news:
Royal Caribbean just announced they are relaxing on their Mandatory Mask Mandate, it is suggested but options starting soon,
Still need to be Vaccinate and be tested.

Want to book cruise? Let me know!
I give extra on board credits that you don't get booking direct. And a lot of times I can find a better price for you too.

Cruise News updates,
Norwegian Cruise lines are stopping the Mask mandates as of March 1st. It is optional and recommended but not required.
Children under 5 do not need to be Vaccinated.
If this tickles you and looking to book a NCL cruise let me know, I can help you with that with my Travel Agency.

If you are traveling to the USA you will need a negative covid test only ONE day prior, not 3 days as before. This might be difficult to get?

Starting Dec. 6: All international air passengers, regardless of vaccination status, must show a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 1 day before to the United States.

If you have questions, CDC’s Travel Assessment can help: https://bit.ly/3mi0932

Travel Updates!
I am getting notices that several more countries are requiring all US visitors to be fully vaccinated. Some will allow un vaccinated with negative test and quarantine for 10 days or more.

Please check the requirements before your travel, these are changing often.

Your Travel agency should be updating you with these things as well. If you don't have a travel agency I may be able to help you book your vacations and keep you up to date!

Great Norwegian Cruise line deals going on!
and get extra on board credits from our agency on top of this for booking with us!

Some Cruise news:
A few cruise lines are requiring a negative test only 2 days out now, used to be 3 days.
So it may be a little more difficult for some if you plan on flying in to departure city the day before (and that is advisable to do)

Be sure you know the protocol is for your cruise before you go, always keep checking their websites. And hopefully you have a good travel agency that helps keep you in the know.

if you don't have a cruise booked yet, well I can help you with this problem. I am a decent problem solver! :-)

Travel PSA:
Oh no, just heard of a sad story of a woman that fell ill while on a Cruise and had to be hospitalized on a foreign island, she had to be hospitalized on this island (not good hospitals) and they didn't have the medicine or care she needed. She didn't have proper Travel insurance with Medical coverage to get her to a better place or back to the USA. She died.

I hear of this a lot, Please, if you travel, esp into foreign countries be sure you get proper travel insurance with medical coverage and medical transportation. I recommend it to all my travel clients.
No, your credit card insurance won't cover it
No, the standard basic insurance you buy from the cruise line won't cover it.
No, your Medical plan you have in the USA won't cover it (usually)
Read the fine print and coverage limitations.
a few extra hundred dollars on a good Travel plan may just save your life and save you thousands of dollars if you have an emergency.

Breaking news: Norwegian Cruise lines (NCL) just won in court over the state of Florida to be able to only offer 100% Vaccinated only cruises.
Cruises are set to start soon too.
