2017 Alaska - Buck List ? Whose already booked … AND what folks are booking !

Alaska is one of the most popular cruise destinations in the world, and is very high on most cruise lovers' list.

2016 has been a great Alaska bound season !

So many of my clients taking advantage of their 1^st time to Alaska !
Lots of repeat cruisers to Alaska too !
And last minute buyers still jumping on 2016 opportunities !

Those who couldn’t find time in their schedule to visit in 2016 …

Began booking 2017 … Way back in May !

WHY ?

(1)Cruise Line offers !
(2)Folks know … Space is limited !
(3)Many cruises LOVE getting their next vacation on the books (before they even vacation this year)

You’re thinking … HOW COULD SPACE BE LIMITED ?  All these ships ?

#1 REASON … I call it … YOUR rules !
When you’re not flexible … AND … You have specific requests … YOU are making your own available space … LIMITED !

YOU SAY … You have no rules ?

Hehehe …. 90% of cruises … HAVE RULES !
If you answer NO to any of the below … You have rules too (smile).
If not ... Then you are in the 10% who don't ! (smile)
These questions apply to ALL CRUISES (not just Alaska)…

Are you ok with ?

(A)Vacationing ANY week or ANY month, May-Sept, for Alaska 2017 ?
(B)An inside cabin ? (balconies & suites go 1^st)
(C )Accommodations for only 2 in a room ? (Triple & Quad cabins are limited – go quick)
(D)Do you need more than 2 rooms ? (Group space, 5 or more cabins, go 1^st.  Cruise Lines limit groups)
(E ) Cabins not side by side, to friends/family ?  Or not even on same deck ?
(F)Cabin location, front or back of the boat ?
(G)Not including a specific glacier ?  (Glacier  Bay, very popular)
(H)An itinerary that leaves out one of the more favorable ports ? (Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway or Sitka)
 

#2 REASON ... You want a land package too ?
OH WOW … You’ve just limited yourself even more !
These SELL OUT before 7 night cruises do !
The cruise lines have many many land packages !  However, they can ONLY sell so many cabins for EACH of their different packages. 

Think about it !  20 packages per ship/sailing … X 100 people = 2,000 people !  That’s only 50 cabin (based on 2 in a room) opportunities available per package !  Who’s limited NOW  ?

And let’s say …  400 of these 2000 people, buy just the 7 night cruises … Now, only  40 cabins have an opportunity to buy the land package !  WOW !
 
Oh … I could on and on !  Insight for the consumer  !

And … Did you know this @ cruise line offers ?

(1)It’s selling space !  Your available space, continues to become more limited !
(2)Drives rates UP.  The more that sell, the more the rates go up !  You might be getting FREE drinks or FREE gratuities, but the rates keep climbing !

 

Oh … And what are folks booking mostly ?

(A)Naturally, the cruise lines with all the spectacular offers … Go here & see:  www.BestCruiseSavings.com
(B)Cruises with Land Packages included !
(Want land package too ?  Call me.  Let’s look at packages a different way)
(C ) Many folks are turning Regent Seven Seas ... FREE UNLIMITED SHORE EXCURSIONS & more.
