Central America Closer than Ever with Panama Canal Cruises Departing Galveston

If you’re thinking of nice warm sunshiny islands about now.....it’s the time to book that cruise for 2017! The “Wave” Season is here!

If you're going to cruise, and if you like to imbibe – check your cruise lines packages. 

When a ship returns to its home port late, Lorraine can’t help but wonder how many non-refundable airline tickets will be lost.  

Just because you booked a balcony room does not mean that the balcony is PRIVATE!   Far from it!

Why not consider a cruise?  Now – there’s a “deal!”  And right now, some lines are even “sweetening the pot” with family-friendly offers including “kids sail free!” 

Lorraine is talking about passengers who - in spite of widely-known regulations - continue to attempt to smuggle alcohol aboard a cruise ship. The question is why?

Yep! If negotiations go as planned between the Port of Galveston and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, in the not-too-distant future you could be sailing a Quantum Class ship right from the Island - and that would be awesome!

Yes – they look great! Sure – they’re the newest style! But, is making a “fashion statement” worth risking life and limb?
