I'm No Longer A Cruise Virgin!

Taking a cruise was something I've heard about from folks I know who were close to retirement age and who had spent the year saving for this event. The pictures they brought back made me say "ooh...and aah" but thought I may end up waiting a few years before I could make that trip myself. Also when shopping around for cruises the port charges, taxes and other fees on top of the cost of air made me wonder how close to retirement I would have to wait before my first cruise.

Fortunately after I signed on with TraVerus Travel Network I was able to take advantage of their fantastic member trips. They're not fam trips where you're expected to take tours or have a tight schedule of inspections, this was a real VACATION exclusively for TraVerus members! That was worth the low price I paid to join of only $119.95!

The cruise was wonderful. We sailed on Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas for 5 nights going to Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios, Jamaica for only $285.00 per person, which included all taxes and fees. It would cost me more money to stay home! Meals were included and the ship was beautiful as well as having the ultimate in customer service.

So I can honestly say now that I am no longer a "cruise virgin" thanks to TraVerus Travel. Also they have lots of member trips available including a 4 night cruise on Carnival to Cozumel for only $313.00 all inclusive sailing in January.
