Plan To Go Agreement

Posted by Unknown


Dear Loyal Clients of Value Cruises and Travel,

As of August 8, 2011, Value Cruises and Travel  will require a Plan to Go Agreement and Deposit on all itineraries.

In order to perform the professional services required to plan and arrange your travel a deposit is required. The deposit is non-refundable, but 100% is applied toward your final payment of your vacation.

Vacation planning involves much time. My work is based on years of personal experience and professional expertise. I research cruises, hotels and tours to meet your specific needs, contact suppliers, coordinate transportation, and draft itineraries according to your specific needs.

Your final itinerary and documents will give you as smooth a vacation as is possible. Once Value Cruises and Travel has constructed your itinerary, you are free to shop it on the Internet, or wherever you would like. If you choose to book your vacation with another agency, the Plan to Go Deposit will be retained by Value Cruises and Travel as payment for services rendered. All vacations arranged through Value Cruises and Travel offer peace of mind, as we are experienced professionals in the business of planning travel for sophisticated travelers who demand the most professional individual attention to detail and execution of a well planned vacation.

Planning for group travel is different than independent travel but still requires a Plan to Go Deposit.  However, the deposit for a group is a flat fee of $200.  Contact me to discuss group deposits and how application to final payments should be made.


We thank you for entrusting your travel needs to us and look forward to working with you more in the future.

Some cruise lines take the 'all' out of 'all-inclusive

Posted by Unknown



By Sean O'Neill, Budget Travel
The days of all-inclusive cruises including the cost of all of your meals seems to be vanishing.
For a few years now, cruise ships have been offering "premium" dining at a higher price. ("Want a steak dinner? Splash out for a night at a higher price.") But in 2011, a mania for up-charging for meals may be kicking into gear.
Case in point: Royal Caribbean International  has bumped up its fees for a couple of its so-called "premium" restaurants: Rita's Cantina and the Seafood Shack on Allure of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas.
Passengers used to pay $8 for meals at Rita's Cantina, for instance. They'll now pay a fee of $3 to dine at the restaurant and then pay a price for each item ordered a la carte, too. The 15 percent gratuity isn't included either. (A tip of the hat to Cruise Critic for breaking this story.)
The first absurdity here, I think, is that cruise company RCI considers Rita's Cantina and Seafood Shack to be "premium restaurants."
Rita's Cantina and Seafood Shack serve the type of food that ought to be included in the "all-inclusive" price in the first place. The menu at Rita's Cantina includes such glamorous items as chicken tacos ($2) and taco salad ($3), while Seafood Shack goes all fancy with a basket of grilled jumbo shrimp ($7). Cruise Critic says that these changes amount to a price hike, noting that a meal with guacamole, a quesadilla and grilled chicken that cost $8 in the winter now costs $11.25.
But, of course, that's because there's now ultra-premium restaurants, like Chops Grille. I'll agree that Chops Grille, with its selection of prime rib and lobster dishes, counts as a premium restaurant. I also agree that it's nice to have the option of splashing out on a fancy meal during a cruise. I'm willing to pay an extra cost for the meal, which is now $30 per person (a fee hiked by $5 this year).
Yet the danger here is that all cruise lines will begin to serve sub-standard food in their main dining rooms. After all, by making the dining hall experience less attractive, a company can make more money by upselling customers on fee-based meals elsewhere on-board.
I don't mean to pick on RCL, which offers an outstanding cruise experience overall. That corporation just happens to have been the latest one to do this.
Another example from this summer:
Norwegian Cruise Lines has put into place a $4 fee for late night room service. Room service used to be free. Royal Caribbean instituted this fee about two years ago.
In another twist, if you order a pizza to your room on Norwegian, you'll pay $5 at any time of day.
