Greetings, Cruise Fans: Tonight, Pat and I have a special plea to all of you who've read (and I hope, enjoyed) the 7 Seas Cruise News over the years. We need sales! Okay, it's not that urgent, but we sure could use your help drumming up some new clients. If you know someone who is thinking about a cruise, would you please recommend us? Tell your friends about 7 Seas Cruises (www.7seascruises.com) and share our phone number (toll free 1-866-424-1090). There are a lot of good reasons why Pat is your very best bet for cruise shopping. Here's why… 1. While advertised prices may look good, including the prices "quoted" by Travelocity and Orbitz and all those online booking engines, they aren't telling you the whole story. You have to add taxes and the current fuel supplement to those prices. Suddenly, they aren't so attractive. With Pat, you get a total price- cruise, port charges, taxes, fuel supplement- the whole thing. 2. Pat discounts. He earns the lowest legal rates for cruises from all the cruise lines- and then, whenever it is legal to do so, he cuts his own commission to get you an even lower price. 3. Pat is a real person. He sits by the phone. (Okay, his desk is right by the TV and he does put his feet up) When you call, you talk to him. He is the original "salt of the earth" -a genuine good guy and he' ll love meeting you and helping you to go cruising. Because Pat is a real person, he'll ask a lot of questions when he books your cruise. He'll check for every possible discount-senior, resident, military, past guest, etc.-even airline employee, police, fire and teacher's discounts. He'll also do everything he can to wrangle an upgrade (free) for you. He'll call sales managers, regional sales managers, if that's what it takes to get you on the right ship at the right price. 4. If you have to cancel, or you decide to upgrade, or Aunt Bernice and Uncle Jim decide to come along, Pat will take care of everything. If you have 8 cabins, he' ll get you a free passage. We don't believe in booking fees or cancellation fees. We charge only those levied by the cruise line after your full-fare date has passed. And Pat will help you to get a great cabin. He'll check to make sure your view is not obstructed. Again, no Orbitz computer will do that for you. 5. If a lower price comes along, Pat will get it for you. Once your cruise is booked, Pat checks all the time to make sure your cruise fare hasn't dropped. If it has, he'll get you the lower price. Please note: Travelocity will NOT do that! 6. Pat is all about service. He wants you to have the best vacation of your entire life. He'll answer any question. He'll give you his 2-cents' worth about ships and ports and cruise lines. And I'll give you my 2-cents' worth, too. If he finds that you can save 20% by sailing a week earlier or later, he'll tell you about it. Likewise, if Princess is a whole lot less expensive that Royal Caribbean, he'll tell you that, too. This is all good information. You deserve it. Pat wants you to have it, so you can make solid, informed decisions and know what you're buying for the rock-bottom- Pat-Crane-7-Seas-Cruises-price! Ok. Thanks for your help. And now, I'll hop off my soapbox and share just a bit of cruise news… Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) received top billing in Cond? Nast Traveler magazine's special August cruise issue, which hits newsstands today. The top-rated travel magazine recognizes Norwegian Gem as one of the best cruise ships for "spa lovers" and Norwegian Jade as one of the best for "foodies." Norwegian Gem, NCL's newest Freestyle Cruising ship, was lauded as having one of the best spas at sea. In the Yin & Yang Spa, guests can receive a wide range of exotic and rejuvenating treatments in 18 rooms, plunge into the thalassotherapy pool and relax on heated poolside loungers. Norwegian Gem is currently sailing seven-day Western Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona. From November through April, the ship sails seven-day Bahamas & Florida and 10 and 11-day Exotic Southern Caribbean itineraries out of New York. Sailing year-round in Europe, Norwegian Jade is touted in the magazine for its 12 restaurants which give guests the opportunity to eat whenever and wherever they want. The ship caters to a wide range of tastes and features Le Bistro, NCL's signature French restaurant; Cagney's Steakhouse; Papa's Italian Kitchen; Paniolo's, offering authentic Tex-Mex; an Asian complex featuring Japanese teppanyaki, a sushi bar and an Asian fusion eatery; a 24-hour diner; and an action station restaurant. With the recent Freestyle 2.0 enhancements, all of Norwegian Jade's restaurants have new, expanded menus and Lobster Galore, where foodies can find lobster in a different restaurant every night of the cruise. Norwegian Jade homeports in Europe year-round sailing three to 23-day itineraries with ports of call in the Mediterranean, Greek Isles, Africa and Spain. Speaking of NCL, their new ships will have an ice bar on them- a 17-degree frozen bar with frozen bar stools and lots of very well chilled alcohol. Patrons will be loans hats, gloves and fur coats to sit at the bar. Okay. Weird, but that's what they claim! Celebrity will have real grass on the top-deck lawns of its next generation ships, so why not ice? That's it for this issue. Keep those calls coming in! 1- 866-424-1090. (Don't I sound like a telethon?) And if you're looking for an interesting cruise experience and a slightly different cruise itinerary, here's an idea… come join Pat and I aboard the Carnival Miracle sailing on Saturday, November 29 from Fort Lauderdale. The 8-night itinerary is great-- Fun Day At Sea ; Fun Day At Sea ; Colon, Panama ; Limon, Costa Rica ; Fun Day At Sea ; Belize ; Fun Day At Sea ; Ft Lauderdale, FL. Belize is amazing. Puerto Limon is terrific and Colon…well, I haven't been there yet, but if you haven't seen the Panama Canal, this cruise offers plenty of opportunities to explore the canal. And here's the best part…Pat offers a guaranteed inside cabin (2 lower beds) price of $693 per person, double occupancy. And this price includes taxes and fuel supplements and port charges! Call Pat to talk about it-and if you're an airline employee, active-duty military or a past Carnival guest, your price will be even lower! Similar savings on ocean- view and balcony cabins, too. Come on! We'll have a great time! Until next week, smooth sailing, my friends! Teri |
