How Long?
Do you have a specific amount of time in which to travel? Keep in mind that you must allow for travel time from your home city to the departure city or port.
Within North America, most of the flights get you to your destination and back home on the same day of traveling.
However, in Europe, South America, Asia and Africa, flight schedules may require a day or more for travel. Our full-service reservation department can assist with your flights and any hotel accommodations when we make your arrangements. For now, check the boxes that indicate how long the cruise or vacation portion of your travel can be:
Up to 6 days
7 days
8 to 10 days
11 to 14 days
15 to 30 days
31 or more days
Or exactly daysI must depart on a
If you need to fly to your destination, indicate the Airport and City from which you would fly:

With Whom?
We realize that you may be traveling as a single, a group of singles, couples, families... or any combination. We need to know who is going to be in your room or cabin.
If you need more than one room/cabin, we'll get to your specific requirements when we make a reservation for you, but for now, please indicate who'll be staying with you:
Just Myself
Singles
Couple without Children
Family with Children
If your party includes children, check all that apply:
Infant(s)
2 - 6 years old
7 - 11 years old
12 - 14 years
15 - 17 years old
18 - 20 years old
It will help you a lot if we knew what age bracket you're in. There are cruises, resorts and tours that cater to particular age groups.

How Much?
Well, we had to get to it eventually - How much do you have budgeted for this cruise or vacation?
Here's how to find out what you really want to spend:
If you're thinking that you'd like to spend between $1,000 and $2,000, what you're really thinking is,
"I don't reasonably expect to pay less than $1,000, and I choose not to spend more than $2,000."
When you tell a travel agent you want to spend "...about a thousand dollars," the agent will scramble
to find a cruise for that price, perhaps stretching it to $1,200, not knowing that you can afford $2,000...
and never offering you the special trip for $1,875 where you can get a higher class of service, a preferred accommodation
and much greater pleasure and satisfaction than you will on the $1,200 cruise... and still be within your
REAL budget!
We're counselors, not just agents. So we advise you to be honest about your budget and, with the
anonymity of the Internet, indicate the higher end of your range:
Per Person
Total Cost
Up to $1,000
Up to $2,000
Up to $3,000
Up to $5,000
Up to $7,500
Up to $10,000
No limit, within reason. I like luxury and pampering.
Lots More!
There are many other things we could ask, but we've gone far enough for now.
