ALASKA TIP: You and friends hoping to cruise & travel inland in 2016 ? Not yet booked ? Heads-up, 2017 !


Sorry, no article next Wednesday, October 28 ... I'll be sailing with 80 others, out of Norfolk, to Bermuda, on Carnival's only 7 night cruise in 2016 !  You should have planned to go with us !

-------------------------------

Are you and friends hoping to cruise & travel inland in 2016 and not yet booked ?
Why are you waiting ?

Folks have been booking since LAST MAY !  Peak season for booking was September !
Know what that means for you ?

As each day goes by, your choices become more limited !  Whether it’s tour package choice or cabin location.  Whether it’s sailing southbound or northbound.  Whether you’ll pay higher cost or hook up with a different cruise line offer.

Planning Alaska isn’t something you can do in 5 minutes.  Not even in 12 hours.

First you’ve got to learn, choices.  What you’re getting out of the package or “not” ! Then you must see, if what you wish for, is still available for the dates you can travel.  Then you’ve got to determine, which cabins are still available.  And if you’re traveling with more than just your cabin, you’ve got to discuss this with everyone else !

After you book your tour, then you need to decide if you may should come in a day early, in not missing your first day of the package.  Then airfare.  Now you can calm down a little.  The worst part is over !

It’s a true education process !  Get the hard part out of the way, as early as you can (decision making before you are booked).  Then have months to “savor”, that you’re on your way to Alaska !
 
Instead, planning for Alaska in 2017 ?  Rates aren't yet out.  In your spare time, look at cruise line itineraries now.  Start talking to family/friends now ... As to what you want to do and how long you can be away.  Then mark your calendar (and tell your friends/family NOW) ... That you want to get yourself booked in May of 2016 for 2017 !
