The secret of getting what you want in life is simple.

Decide what you want, then do a little each day to achieve it.

I think most people have dreamed of a cruise calling on the great ports of Europe, a region steeped in history and displaying remarkable beauty. 

The books you’ve read and movies you’ve seen can really come alive.

Celebrity Cruises enhances the experience on all fronts, with comfortable, modern luxury on board, including sumptuous meals and outstanding entertainment in some of the most gorgeous ships in the world.  Their itineraries bring you to fantastic ports.

Why should you book a Celebrity cruise in Europe before the end of November?  Let me count the ways.

1. Get the best flight choices now, so that you don’t have additional stops and lengthy layovers.  To make this decision easier, Celebrity will give you $1000 onboard credit on any 2013 Europe Air/Sea Cruises in Veranda Staterooms and above.  You know you definitely want a private balcony to enjoy the Mediterranean or coastlines of Northern Europe, and this is just one additional rationalization for your logical decision to make the most of your vacation.  This promotion runs from November 7 to December 1 for the general public.

2. For Captains Club Members (past guests of Celebrity), you’ll receive Double Cruise Credit Points, with up to 6 on a single cruise.  That’s great for building up your past guest amenity status.  And, because you are in the Captains Club, you get a 1-week advance window from November 1 to 7, so that you have the best selection of rooms. 

3. Move up to a Suite, and receive $1000 onboard credit.  This is good for the entire month of November, and it also applies to 2013/2014 Alaska and Caribbean cruises, too!  How Suite it is!

4. If you think about it, you obviously have a better selection when you book early.  Enjoy departing from Venice luxuriating in a large aft balcony seeing one of the great cities of the world, or have the convenience of a midship room for making stops between your sumptuous meal and the evening’s great entertainment.

Allow me to introduce you to my client Cheryl, who understands the secret of getting what she wants in all aspects of her life. 

As a working mother, she needed to focus on her children and aerospace job for twenty plus years, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t also pursue other avenues including art and leisure activities which she found equally rewarding.

When her children grew into competent adults themselves, she left aerospace to make art her primary vocation.  Her love of travel and history permeate her award-winning work.

When Cheryl and her husband Albert decided to go on an Eastern Mediterranean cruise, she contacted me, on the recommendation of her good friend and cruise enthusiast Kim White.  I helped her narrow down her choices, and we’re all happy she went with my top recommendation of Celebrity Equinox, easily one of the finest large cruise ships in the world. 

A goal-oriented woman, Cheryl booked the cruise over a year early, which gave her the opportunity to anticipate her remarkable voyage for fifteen months.  She understands, you see, that a vacation is more than just the time clocked out of the office, although that week or two in paradise is an amazing part of it.

Anticipating an outstanding vacation is something that excites you every day until you leave and leads to a lifetime of memories, which you can relive periodically.

Booking early allowed her to check out ways to stretch her vacation with a few days in Rome and other parts of Italy.  It allowed her to read up on places they would visit to ensure they didn’t miss what they “must see.”

By the time she and Al went, she was thoroughly prepared and got the most out of her trip, both from a leisure and artistic perspective, as indicated in her gallery.

Don’t take my word for it.  Here’s a message what she wrote me on her return:

Hi Wes
Al and I returned late last night from our FABULOUS cruise, many thanks to you.  We enjoyed the wine you had delivered to our stateroom and want to thank you for your thoughtfulness in sending that very attractive photo album, it was at our front door step when we returned.

The ship was lovely, the land tours fabulous and tour guides top notch!  We met some New  Zealand couples on the ship and had dinner with them each night, very enjoyable.

Now to get back to “normal” and go through our 1000’s of photos!  As you can imagine, our heads are swimming with good memories, wanting to share them soon with our friends and family.

Thanks so much, Wes, for your assistance in this once in a life time trip!  You’re the best!

Cheryl and Al

Aren’t you ready to live your dreams?  If you don’t, who will?

Better service leads to better trips!
