You can also ask for a full refund and use that money to book a flight on a different airline.

These conditions and exceptions are:</span></div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you do not have a confirmed reservation, you will not be compensated.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you miss your check-in deadline, you will likely not be compensated.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If the airline must substitute a smaller plane than the one you booked, you will not be compensated.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If the flight has 30-60 seats and bumps you due to safety-related aircraft weight or balance constraints, you will not be compensated.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you booked a chartered flight and are bumped, you will not be compensated.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you booked a flight with fewer than 30 seats, you will not be compensated.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you booked an international flight inbound to the U.S., you are not required to be compensated.</span></li>
</ul></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Lastly, if being bumped costs you more money than the airline will pay you at the airport, you can try to negotiate a higher reimbursement with the airline’s complaint department. If you decline the compensation and are unable to receive higher compensation from the airline’s complaint department, you can take the airline to court.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Overbooking is a strategy airlines use to ensure a full flight and accounts for passenger “no-shows”. When a flight is overbooked, the DOT requires airlines to compensate for voluntary and </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">involuntarily bumped passengers. </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To better understanding these definitions:</span><br />

<span style="color: red;">Every passenger’s situation is unique. If you find that your flight is canceled delayed, your bag has been damaged, delayed, or lost, or the flight is overbooked, we recommend that you call your Travel Agent!</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As a travel agent, I get lots of calls from people looking for that "<i><span style="color: red;">last minute</span></i>" deal. So many people call and ask to see if there is some "dirt cheap" pricing on a cruise cabin, all-inclusive vacation, hotel and/or airfare they have been planning on for months.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here are the pros and cons of "<i><span style="color: red;">last minute</span></i>" deals:</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b><u>Pros</u></b></span>: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you are the spur-of-the-moment sort, one of the best things about booking your vacation last minute is the excitement of not knowing where you are going until the very last second. Sometimes those last minute deals are so often hit or miss, you could end up in a vacation destination you normally would not have thought of, had there not been a good last minute deal. Plus, there is the addition of not having to stress about planning, organizing and researching your trip if you’re the laid-back type that prefers to go with the flow. In addition, those last minute hotel deals are a great steal, especially since the hotels are trying to slash those prices close to the date you want to get away. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b><u>Cons</u></b></span>: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Airfare is another story. Finding a cheap last minute flight is a little trickier compared to accommodations since prices typically go up the closer you get to the departure date due to the increased demand of the flight. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Last minute bookings are not for the faint of heart. The biggest con is the risk that you might not end up going anywhere at all. It could be the case that you wait too long to book a great deal and in the end, you miss it. There is also the fact that booking ahead gives you a greater choice of flights and hotels, unlike when you book last minute. So if you have a specific destination or hotel in mind, you might be disappointed if you can't book either flight or hotel due to unavailability. Another potential downfall for those who have limited vacation time or are required to take their vacation during specific times of the year is the lack of flexibility. You might find it difficult to secure a last minute trip if you are looking for very specific times that cannot be changed due to prior engagements.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So..... are you ready to risk it all for that? Is your investment in your vacation worth the stress and havoc of making it happen? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So you’ve done your research, know where you want to go and found your perfect price? Book it <b><u>NOW</u></b> with your Travel Guru at <a href="http://maralohatravel.blogspot.com/p/contact.html">Maraloha Travel, LLC</a>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Listen, you’ve found some pretty great deals online and you have a sense of where you want to go… but it’s never a bad idea to check in with your Travel Guru at <a href="http://maralohatravel.blogspot.com/p/contact.html">Maraloha Travel, LLC</a> before you actually book. Sometimes — like if you’re traveling with an infant — you’ll need to do this anyways. But more often than not, we may also be able to offer you an additional incentive, like free bag checks, an extra excursion or some cash off. Our motto is that it never hurts to ask, and if you don’t like what you hear or the deal you found online is still better, we can match it dollar for dollar!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When you find something great, procrastinating on the actual booking part is almost a surefire way to lose it. While hotels may have lots of rooms left, last-minute travel deals often mean </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">flights, cruises, hotels, and all-inclusive vacations are nearly full. If you want to reserve your spot, now’s the time to pull the trigger. Otherwise, it could be another staycation of storage room organizing and spring cleaning for you.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven’t seen my mom in over a year and I missed her so much. With my mom stranded in NY for the past 6 months so that she can see her grandkids, then longer at 8 months because of her injury, scheduling a visit when she returned was hard. We were originally scheduled for December and now moved to February. With that said, the days and seconds leading up to seeing my mom, couldn’t come faster.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I live in Tampa, only 4 hours away from Delray Beach where mom is, I wanted to try the train to see if it was more convenient and cost-effective.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5y8rlFlI-shWHFn642WFp4J6eR704LUK6EVqNPIJ2QzSUEeUuYdyDGx9EF7rGq1LG6MmVZpcDYs2XB-42aQO35qEIkvdD8-lWXGqHt9GZAFgdb6uGWkc2EqE2sR7D681OAykIOb5jQ/s1600/amtrak-logo-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="552" data-original-width="986" height="111" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis5y8rlFlI-shWHFn642WFp4J6eR704LUK6EVqNPIJ2QzSUEeUuYdyDGx9EF7rGq1LG6MmVZpcDYs2XB-42aQO35qEIkvdD8-lWXGqHt9GZAFgdb6uGWkc2EqE2sR7D681OAykIOb5jQ/s200/amtrak-logo-1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Amtrak (aka National Railroad Passenger Corporation) has been <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">a <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">passenger </span>railroad<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> service since 1971, that provides medium- and long-distance </span>intercity<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> service in the </span>contiguous<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> </span>United States<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> and to nine </span>Canadian</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> cities</span>. I have been taking the train since I was little, however, my last trip on the train was the Autotrain which only runs from Virginia to Sanford, Florida. I remember the train being very pleasurable, meeting new people, and relaxing.</span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So this time, I decided to take the Silver Service Train 91 to see mom in Delray Beach. Think of it this way, yes, you can drive, but you have several expenses, tolls, gas, and mileage on the car. With the train, you can relax, sleep, do work, etc. In addition, the cost comparison of driving as opposed to taking the train…. Priceless! It would cost you around $130 one way and you can’t really enjoy the scenery or do any work. The train only cost $68 round trip, you can even meet new people and make new friends! You don’t have to be sitting in a car for 4 hours and/or be stuck in traffic for a lengthy period of time either. The trains have spacious seating where the seats recline, has a pull-down tray to do your computer work or eat on, they have outlets at your seat or in the café cabin to do the charging of your electronics, and have a Café cart with seating! BONUS!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some great pictures of the train:</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Moving right along, I am now packed and at the Tampa Train Station waiting to board. The train was about 30 minutes late, but the time seemed to go by so fast because I was too excited to see my mom. The staff were very cordial and helped with people’s luggage on the train. Amtrak’s policy is that if you have luggage and going a longer distance than Delray Beach, it would get weighed just like getting on an airplane. However, I was lucky as I brought the big bag and it didn’t matter what it weighted! SCORE! (I had a lot of stuff to bring to mom).</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now on the train on my way to see mom, I did some exploring. I wanted to know what was on this train and the accommodations they had, especially if it was going to be a long trip for some people. Keep in mind that this train 91 goes from Tampa to NY! This is NOT the auto train from Virginia to Sanford, FL. They don’t have the auto train for this kind of trip. However, they do have sleeper cabins and not too shabby. Very roomy, but I would not be doing the bunk bed. LOL.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, onward we go! The ride from Tampa to Delray Beach was great and smooth. Now we are back on the train now going from Delray Beach to Tampa.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The train was on time and of course, easy on. Tried to take a picture with the Train Conductor Elise, but she would not do it. Then Franklin helped me with my bags on board and got to meet three nice ladies. Helped them get acclimated as this was their first time on the train and then I went right to the café cabin to relax and do some work. Got to love the free Wifi!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we arrive in Tampa, the train had to back in. I guess it is much easier when they leave than doing it the other way around. It wasn’t too late that the train arrived in Tampa and honestly, I have a great experience. Really good trip. I would definitely suggest it to anyone to take the train on a small trip.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><u>UPDATE</u></span>: Guess what? Yep…back on the train again. Mom is really not doing too well so I had to take an emergency trip to Delray Beach. However, this time there were a lot more people going and too many groups of people where they love to save seats! Hey, I get that you don’t want to sit near a stranger but there are limited seats on the train when it is fully booked. So waiting for the conductor for over 45 minutes, I decided to go down to the café to get some work done.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As soon as I get to the café, I start to set up my little office. Of course, leaving room for other people to sit and eat, this rude, nasty Amtrak employee decides to “school” me that this café is a community seating café. I told her I understand that and I have been traveling on a train for a long time and I know what to do. Then reiterated that I have been doing this for a long time. She said that she has been doing it for 23 years. I then told her I have been doing it for 30 and I am sure that this is not my first rodeo. UCK!! What a rude person! I got her name Fela the train conductor so that I can file a complaint. Yep, damn skippy! Some of you may not agree but because I am here to relax and get work done, and of course being considerate to others as you can see, I am not here to get a lecture or a mouth slapping from an employee about me being comfortable at the café to do work. Funny thing is that there are others on the train who do the exact same thing and she said no word to them! What the hell?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok. Enough rambling. Time to go back to work and try and concentrate on what matters, my clients! Ok, now that is not going to work because the internet/wi-fi doesn’t work. Geez! You have got to be kidding me?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, another 2 ½ hours until we get to Delray Beach. Keep you posted for the train ride home!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Back on the train home and loving this ride! Jose, the café attendant, and all the train conductors and staff were great! So nice, great to talk to and very down to earth. They always say that sometimes your rides on the train won’t be that great but it makes up for the one memorable time. I have actually come to enjoy taking the train, having “me” time, relaxing, working for my clients and getting to talk to others. You also get to enjoy the scenic route and look around you. A car, you can’t take your eyes off the road, gas is expensive along with traffic! On the train, you relax, talk to people, sleep, work, etc. Bonus!</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I would definitely suggest a train ride on Amtrak for my clients.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So waking up at around 6:30AM was no picnic as we are late sleepers, but it was time to leave the ship. We made sure that we left nothing behind, luggage was already out the night before and on the pier to grab before we went through customs, and headed out to get something to eat with the rest of our baggage.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />

I found that to be much easier to let them do it for me. We already prearranged our transfer back to the hotel with the hotel and prepaid them so getting off the ship was a breeze as usual. I never had any problems with that, however, I had to trek JC's luggage as he was still injured with his foot and could not do much with the luggage. I got the porter to help us as well so that was a little easier for me. Got my exercise it though! LOL.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Once we got back to the hotel, it was easy going home as we only had a 5 hour ride back. We were both still tired but we made it home.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Last day on the ship.. can't believe the time went so fast however, I am not surprised though. Been on enough ships to realize that nothing lasts forever, but the fun can always continue on another!</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Usually the last day of the cruise, the shops and activities seem to explode for the day. They shops always have their "discounted" sale in order to entice cruisers to shop for loved ones or for themselves and take advantage of the pricing and duty free shops. JC was resting as he was just exhausted from walking around Cozumel with his foot so he decided to sleep in most of the day. I ventured out to see what was going on and maybe get a few things for the family or friends at home.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The captain! I told him that I was looking forward to seeing him at the cocktail party but he did not show up. He stated that "I wasn't there?" I said no but I am sure that you were very busy taking care of all the passengers on the ship, and navigating us in safe waters. Of course he agreed and I didn't want to embarrass him either, but really?</span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The ship arrived in Cozumel at 8AM and everyone was ready to disembark the ship. JC and I woke up at 9AM and started to get ready to go ashore. Before we do, we at least needed a little something to eat to get our energy back. </span></div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At around 10:30AM, we disembarked the ship and went to the shops. Because of his fractured toe, we could not do any shore excursion but only walk to try and find some gifts for friends and family back home. Of course, you have to stop at one of our favorite places Caraloha. The pricing for the stocks and t-shirts are reasonable and cheaper than in Roatan. These socks are a must have along with the shirts. The port itself was different than my last visit. Each cruise ship has a unique port location they dock at. I had never been to this one though and much has changed since then. Once you get off the ship you have to go through the long slue of a shops with a variety of different kinds of things you can get, for example liquor, t-shirts, etc. After that, you have the Three Amigos, Margaritaville, and/or Fat Tuesday bars where most go to drink and party. </span></div></div><br />

In the middle of the night, JC turned to get out of the bed to go to the bathroom and slammed his pinky toe, dead on into the wall! He was in pain and thought he might have sprained it but it was not swollen or bruised. We waited until the morning and he could not walk on it as it was too painful, again with no swelling. This was weird no? So we called 911 to have them bring up a wheelchair to bring him to the medical center as he could not walk on it. </span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">As we go down to the medical center, they did the normal review of his foot and at first, didn’t want to take an x-ray. However, I told them to do so as I didn’t want to take the chance that it was broken and not know. The nurses and the doctor were very nice and really took care of JC. The doctor examined him, took x-rays and found out that he fractured his toe! The fracture was in a diagonal and still intact. That was the good news. Bad news is that it would take 4-6 weeks to heal. With that said, the doctor gave him pain medicine, ibuprofen, and crutches. There is not much you can do for something like this but only to bound the toes together as to not further injure it. In addition to the crutches and not knowing how his walking capabilities would be, I also requested a wheelchair. I had to cancel our shore excursion which was disappointing, and find other ways for us to get around the ports.</span></span></div><span style="text-align: center;"><br />

It was very difficult to find accessibility offshore or for Princess staff to help in any way to accomplish this. JC was a trooper and trekked through it and wrapped his toes. We were able to walk off the ship, walk to just the shops, and get back on board while I carried his crutches, just in case he needed them. Although we really wanted to be able to do some shore excursions, any kind of walking would have further risked injuring his foot and I just didn’t feel comfortable in doing that.</span></div><div><br />

Again, this was a very different cruise than an Norwegian or Royal Caribbean Cruise. This was a relaxing cruise and not one where everyone is partying all the time. In one way, that is disappointing as we are night people and love the night life and entertainment. On the other hand, you didn't feel pressured to be anywhere or do anything and that was a bit relieving in some way. But geez!!!…. I felt that this was more of a dead ship than even a lively one. Everything closed so early!</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">We got up later and got something to eat. Then off to explore the ship some more as most people were in bed. Even the casino closed early so we had to call it an early night. Bummer....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

We found the Hard Rock Café, Harley Davidson store, and Margaritaville. Pretty cool to all be as close together as it gets hard to choose where you want to go first. These are just some of the places I like to visit and get some gear. </span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">First stop, Häagen-Dazs as I needed the internet to unlock my phone. They won’t give you the Wi-Fi </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">password until you buy something so we gave in and had a caramel coffee freeze. Delicious!!! I definitely suggest having one of those. After getting the Wi-Fi up and running, I was able to unlock my phone without factory resetting it. BONUS!! Now I had full use of my phone, which of course took about 2 hours to get that done. Just a waste of time but at least I was fully functional again. Amazing how we rely so much on technology and years ago we actually took pictures and savored the memories!</span> </div></div><div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now we were off to Hard Rock Café to see what memorabilia from the rock millennia were at this Hard Rock Café. See, every Hard Rock Café is unique in its own way. Each one showcases outfits, guitars, drums, etc, from famous musicians. For instance, they had Elvis Presley’s hat he wore during the song “Blue Suede Shoes.” Another was Madonna’s outfit from one of the tours she did, and so on. Pricing on food was pretty normal and reasonable. As with every Hard Rock Café I visit, I picked up a pin to add to my collection.</span> </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Without going into a slew of other places that I mentioned that we visited, towards the end we stopped to take a picture at the Cayman Island wall. </span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Taking the tender boat and back on the ship, we went back to our cabin and found an invitation. It was to the Captain’s cocktail party. So we took a little cat nap and got up to get ready to go to the party. When we got to the party, we met several officers, but no captain. As they filled you with free drinks and hors d'oeuvres, they told us that the captain could not make it and to enjoy the party. That again, was very disappointing as I was looking forward to meeting him.</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2liBqKIUPFA7CKqnmjLV2-qBWLc-G_3GsydAW0kVDFktigc7E44MMNI4hphouavvchTxC9xZNiq2kYM6S_e-8fxJn-T4iR7iNXKcMubDEMySKwaAcw9fOIsIcpoU2n6qurZJMOe8E_w/s1600/20180605_004525.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="778" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2liBqKIUPFA7CKqnmjLV2-qBWLc-G_3GsydAW0kVDFktigc7E44MMNI4hphouavvchTxC9xZNiq2kYM6S_e-8fxJn-T4iR7iNXKcMubDEMySKwaAcw9fOIsIcpoU2n6qurZJMOe8E_w/s320/20180605_004525.jpg" width="153" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After being disgusted and leaving about a half hour into the party, we decided to give the entertainment another shot and see a show, Musical Showtime Mike Mentz.

We were really exhausted from the night before and it felt like it was catching up to us. We went to grab some food at the Marketplace and then headed to the Calypo Bar on the pool deck. Funny thing is, we asked the bartender there to make us a drink, right from their menu and he had to look it up! I was a little surprised because this happened the day we got on the ship! Coincidence? Not the same person either but figured he must of been new and just learning. So back up to the pool deck, sunscreen on and all, we had a Caribbean cooler. Great drink and very tasty! After about an hour there and feeling extremely hot, we decided to tour the ship and get our bearings as to where everything was and the public venues. Of course we hit some of the shops on board. One event that was going on was the Effy store. Of course, it’s a big gimmick as they have you standing around, thinking you are going to either buy something or win something, and you don’t. So we entered the raffle and left to continue to see what else was transpiring about the ship.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

If you are thinking about getting the internet package, I would say that it is definitely worth it! I would also purchase it onboard as you get a deal with extra minutes. Remember, that it has to be purchased the first day at sea or you won't get the bonus minutes. If you don't bring your laptop, they do have their own internet/library combo area and printing capabilities. However, their internet is slow. Sometimes it can take up to 5 minutes to get any kind of link or search to run. I brought my own computer and that seemed to help a little but not much. You are able to view your account on your mobile phone through <a href="http://www.caribbean.princess.com/">caribbean.princess.com</a> and not be charged. However, Princess does tell you several times to put your phone on airplane mode so that you don’t get charges the astronomical amount of money in order to use the internet/wireless network. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Still locked out of my phone, there was no way for me to unlock it until I got on land and used the Wi-Fi in Grand Cayman. Just had to wait until tomorrow, which was frustrating enough and I do like to stay in contact with friends and loved ones. I was able to use the camera so that was a plus.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After exploring the ship some more, we went to Slice to get some pizza. They also had Focaccia and some Bruschetta fresh out of the oven! They make their own pizza on board and it was better than Norwegian cruise line’s pizza! On the other side was Salty Dog. Here, you were able make your own hamburger, hotdog, or sloppy joes. Very filling, so be careful not to overdo it. Both Slice and Salty Dog are complimentary so no worries on paying a cover fee. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

So we headed to Club Fusion to play. We purchased the super pack which enabled you to have the bingo table, 5 paper bingos and a raffle ticket. Of course we didn’t win but it was fun to play. The price was about $79 per super pack but there are others you can purchase for less. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

This show was the Princess dancers and their production. I can tell you I was not impressed with it at all. I have seen many on ships, on Broadway, Opera’s, etc. and I was disappointed in this one. The two singers they had for this one show were not that great. I would rate it as mediocre. However, I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and see another one. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well, as we did last year, we were off to a late start and didn’t get to the hotel until 2am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn't so bad that we arrived late as we had a late checkout at 12pm. We were staying at the Four Points By Sheraton in Fort Lauderdale, only 5 minutes away from the cruise pier. The hotel was a reasonably priced and included free parking for the entire time we were sailing. The shuttle to the cruise pier from the hotel was run by a different company, and not the hotel, which the website does not state that. The shuttle was only $16 per person/round trip . In addition, the hotel shuttle, even though it stated that they have it free to the pier, it was not. It only went to the airport so I told management to make sure that they tell that to people as on their website it was misleading that the shuttle was supposedly free through them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On my trip, however, I got locked out of my phone so I spent pretty much most of the day on the ship while in port, to get it to open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I completely forgot my pin, tried to have the system search for my phone thru Samsung and no luck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Either I had to completely factory reset my phone or wait until I got to Grand Cayman to find a Wi-Fi spot to get this phone unlocked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, being stressed just from that, I was still able to use my camera on the phone, had to call my carrier to make sure I don’t get cellular roaming charges, and hopefully get this mess cleared up.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

I bet when there is an actual emergency, and I have been through some, they wont remember a damn thing! With that said, Princess made announcements that parents were responsible for the behavior of their kids, people to be mindful of others late at night returning to their cabin, and if you see someone overboard, grab the life preserver and throw it overboard to the person. Again, this was a nice change as the other cruise lines don’t mention about parents being responsible, late night noise or the life preserver. I smiled at this and hoped that other cruise ships would follow this practice.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We then went to explore the ship, both the Pool on Deck 15 and some of the outside bars. The first bar we went to was the Calypso bar on Deck 16. We went to get a drink, however, when we asked for something on their menu, the bartender didn’t know how to make it??? It was just weird to experience these bartenders, being on the ship this long, don’t know how to make their own drinks that are on their menu?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another great day for ship inspection! I was so excited to go on this ship as it was the first time I’ve ever been on this ship. The Carnival Miracle was first launched on June 3, 2003 and christened by a United States Army soldier Jessica Lynch in Jacksonville, Florida, on February 7, 2004. Her first voyage was a 3-day cruise to the Bahamas. Now, she sails out of Tampa, Florida from 6-9 days to the Western Caribbean and 10+ to the Panama Canal.</span></div><br />

Travel agents have a different section that waits until the ship is ready for us to board to visit different areas. This usually happens before the pas</span><span style="font-size: large;">sengers get on board at noon. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As we started walking on board, there was a fellow travel agent wearing the signature Carnival Funnel hat! I had to take a picture with him. It wouldn’t be all Carnival if I didn’t. Also, my BDM challenged me to wear the Carnival shirt on the inspection, and of course I did. How do you like it?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">There was a big group of travel agents on the ship inspection so we had to break up into groups. The first thing that happens, as I’ve noted in all of my other ship inspections, you visit the staterooms. This gives you and of course, my clients, an idea of what an inside, oceanview, balcony, and suite look like. Here are some pictures of some of the cabins, which hopefully interest you to book with <a href="https://maralohatravel.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_36.html">Maraloha Travel</a> vacation:</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite places is the <b><span style="color: purple;">Serenity Adult Only Retreat</span></b>. Somebody at Carnival knows just what our clients need, and it's pretty much exactly the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat. Look, you'll still be on the same ship as the kids, the hoopla, and all the Carnival-style excitement… but you could easily forget, because when you’re at Serenity you could not be further from it all. The world you'll find yourself in is one of complete peace, sea breezes, swaying hammocks and, of course, a nearby bar. It's the place to get done the kind of stuff you just can't seem to do anywhere else — reconnect with your partner, finish that book, or do absolutely, blissfully, nothing at all. Plus <b><span style="color: red;">IT'S FREE</span></b> <b><span style="color: red;">and INCLUDED</span></b> with your cruise to enjoy! No kids allowed. These pictures just don't do it justice as you will have to experience and see it for yourself.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

She decided that she would like to make a stop over from Orlando (where she was staying) over to Tampa to visit me. So sweet! So off I went to find a Hotel and/or Resort so that she can get a little glimpse of Tampa and how much JC and I love it here. I also wanted to be able to share all that Tampa has to offer with her. In my research, I found Shephard's Beach Resort. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">S</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">hephard's Beach Resort can be a great place to stay ans it is right on the beach, has two restaurants (Ocean Flame and Salt), live entertainment, and lots of activities. Depending on the time you stay there, for instance, February during Spring Break, it is mostly a singles resort for a wide range of people. Other times, around mid-September to December it would be a family resort. Now JC and I originally looked at Shephard's Beach Resort as one of our wedding venue and/or rehearsal dinner options and thought that this would be a good way to see what it was like if we stayed there and a perfect opportunity for Kim to enjoy the beach and all the Resort has to offer. Plus, during this time in February its Spring Break and we had a friend who worked there who could get us a discounted rate. Score!</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Keep in mind that all the resorts are expensive along the beach. Pricing on a normal weekend can range from $150 to $300 per night and require you to stay 2-3 days. However, during Spring Break it doubles and sometimes triples. Starting price can range from the mid $300's to $600 per night! Plus, in addition to that, you have to pay the resort fee and parking!</span><br />

We were greeted by the Hotel Front Desk, Cynthya. Not such a nice person as when she informed us that only one car per room can be parked at the Resort and would cost us an additional $10 to valet park another car, she acted a little snotty. She was very curt stating that there was nothing she could do, it wasn't her fault that no one told us, and that she just worked there. Nice right? I asked to speak to a manger and she wouldn't allow that either! Makes me wonder why I would want to book my clients if that is the way they are going to be greeted right? (P.S. I even thought later on she would change her attitude but that didn't happen either). With that said and trying to make the best of it, we left our stuff in the room and decided to go down to the Tiki Beach Bar & Grill where the pool and outdoor music was playing. We grabbed some food and drinks and talked well until the sunset started to settle in. We were having a great time and the night was young!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

The drinks were buy one and get a double for $1 more was a great deal! That was happy hour until 7PM. All of us definitely took advantage of that as the drinks can be quite expensive if you are getting them at $6 a drink! As far as the service, I do have some gripes about that. When we sat at one of the tables, we had waited over a 1/2 hour for someone to come serve us, let along notice us sitting at a table with no menus. Mind you, I did go across to the bar to let them know that we would like or if they could provide some menus for us, but they would not let me take the menus to the table from the bar. One server, Fernando, just kept staring at us and not coming over to take our order at all. Then about 45 minutes of waiting, the bartender finally got a server, Heather. She was the best! She always checked on us to make sure that our drinks were never empty and the food was good. Although the mold on our grapes that were served to us were gross, but they did compensate us for that. Problem solved!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">JC, Kim and I decided to go up to the hotel room to check out the accommodations. Two double beds, desk, refrigerator, coffee maker, hairdryer, safe, all the standard amenities that would normally come with a standard room. It also had a great balcony. The room we had was a fully handicapped room. I did not mind as the price was right and this was one room that we could have just for one night that was not booked.</span></div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span> <br />

I would give it a 5 out of 10 as the experience was not that great. The rooms were very clean, beds were comfortable but they need to get their act together when it comes to taking care of their guests.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I can honestly say that the first day of Cruiseworld was fantastic! Although it was a pretty exhausting day with the classes and information overload, overall just needed time to process it all. Good thing we were able to have some down time last night.</span></div>

headed to the convention center for the breakfast that was being sponsored by
MSC.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">MSC had a contest going for the
picture submission of your best vacation moment and to put in some “swag” for
MSC.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Since I didn’t have any swag, I
made a shirt with the MSC logo and some bling.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">I really went all out for this contest because the prize was a free
7-day cruise on the new ship MSC Seaside.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">I was disappointed at MSC because one of the submissions that MSC picked
as final submissions was plastered with photoshop pictures.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">The contest rules stated that you could not
do that.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">In addition, someone during the
contest made a minority comment.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Really
people?</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Get a grip.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Hey wouldn’t you know the individual who
photoshoped their picture won?</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Nice lady
and fun but that is really unfair.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">MSC
you need to follow your own rules!</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Trust
me when I tell you… my picture was the BOMB and so were several others who
should have won.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: large;">As Kim and I had to go separate
ways into the Trade show, as part of the STAR program you have a certain amount
of set appointments with different vendors, enabling you to get a one-on-one discussion
about their product and how it helps your clients.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: large;">However, the Trade show is SOOO busy and so
much is going on, it is very hard to keep those appointments.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: large;">I think that I was the only one who was able
to as every time I went to an appointment, there on time, either the vendor was
on the phone or talking to another travel agent and forgetting about the
schedule of appointments that Travel Weekly has set up.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: large;">My personal opinion:</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: large;">The STAR program should have let us in BEFORE
the Trade show so that those travel agents who had appointments could meet
those 5 minutes with that vendor without any disruptions or distractions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Can you believe it? It’s finally here! The first day of Cruiseworld! Of course I wake up super early as I am really excited to see my fellow travel colleagues and see what I can learn from the educational seminars. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Kim, my new bestie and travel guru, brings me coffee so that I can wake up and we are ready to rock and roll!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now 1PM, it was time to head on over to the general session for lunch sponsored by Holland America Cruise Lines. This year was great as they had a very healthy choice for lunch. If you read the last Cruiseworld blog, they had served some fattening lunch, non-gluten free, and full of salt. Almost ready for a heart attack and stroke at the same time! This time it was great and delish!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As the general session usually lasts around 2 hours (because the vendors give presentations about their products), Kim and I took a break in-between so that we could really enjoy taking some memorable pictures together.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We headed back to the general session as the cruise line panel was about to start. This is a panel you don’t want to miss! The panel consists of all the CEO, President, and/or VP’s of all the major cruise lines who are asked questions and give answers to some common concerns and/or personal opinions of what makes each of their brands unique. Of course, Mary Sullivan and Joanne Ogg, who are the speakers for Travel Weekly, throws in some funny questions to make it more interesting and to make sure the travel agents don’t fall asleep or feel bored! LOL!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When that was over, it was time for my assigned sessions that (as a participant of Cruiseworld Star Program) I have to attend, but worth it! This session was called the Showcase. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Showcase consisted of 5 round table conversations with 5 different (pre-selected for your business) vendors to discuss their products. At first, it was ok but one of the vendors (Avanti) did not show up, which to me was a waste of time and most of the products I am not going to sell. There is one that I really was interested in and could benefit from. I look at it this way. If I can benefit from at LEAST 1 vendor for my clients and/or 2, I did very well. Remember that these are just snip-it’s of an introduction to the product and not something you are pushed into selling unless you think it helps your business and/or your clients. I did find it ok, however, I was not thrilled with it. I believed that I could have a little more if I had a chance to pick the ones that I believed would be helpful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now that was over, it was time to head on back to the hotel. Kim and I relaxed a little and then got ready for the after party at the Quarterdeck with David Holman from Bridges & Holman Travel. Everything was a very short walk to get to and convenient. When we arrived there were some of my colleagues there but then later on, people started to trickle in. As always, great food and good service at the Quarterdeck along with the company.</span></div>
