Taking the Pineapple Express "Outta Here"!

Yes, such good timing! The Pineapple Express is about to inundate the Los Angeles area with up to 7" or rain this weekend.

This nasty bout of mother nature will be many a cruiser's ticket out of the wet and into the sunshine from the Long Beach and San Pedro piers.

Hop aboard Holland America's MS Amsterdam with me. Our Vacation Vignette group as I host cruisers from all over the country through the Panama Canal. 

Now this is a VERY festive cruise! That's right. We get to celebrate the holidays at sea connected together by wonderful balmy central American ports of call.

I will post as much as I can - meanwhile, better get those last minute gift cards.

There will be lots of deals here at SeaCrest Travel!!! 

if you get any standard gift card issued by a credit card company, be sure to call in and apply that baby in January.

We have bonus resort and cruise bucks to further credit your bottom line!

Now - have you been naughty or nice? Let's get down to the most important topics this week.
Yes, I think it is too late to be good.

Wishing you tons of adventure and relaxation in 2011!

Best of Italy!

I have proof that cruising beats out land vacationing in Europe after a recent 14 day cruise around the infamous boot of Italy. It does depend on the region in Europe and Italy is ideal.

Especially, if you happen to be on an Azamara cruise ship! Experiencing overnights in the most exciting destinations Italy has to offer is priceless. Never having to pack and unpack in two weeks is heaven. I loved that I had time to sit and sip espressos and people watch. Racing to a few museums and then back to the ship never happened. Strolling happened!

Use the services of a seasoned agent to help you align the itinerary and ship so that you too, can enjoy the stressfree touring of Europe. The cost of your vacation will also be nearly cut in half if your agent really knows her/his ships.

Watch for upcoming hosted cruises on Azamara with SeaCrest Travel agent, Bonnie Danard.
