Greetings from sunny Florida! Once again it’s time to set sail on another
cruise adventure, and I’m sure this week will be filled with WONDER-ful new
experiences and fun. Yes, I’m setting
sail on the Disney Wonder, leaving out of Miami, FL for a 5-night Western
Caribbean itinerary. This cruise will
different from my last Disney cruise in October, (when my lovely bride came
along with me) – different since my lovely bride is not coming along with me,
rather I’ll have another travel professional as my roommate. This is an Agent Education experience, so we’ll
be in a conference room each day for a couple of hours at the least, and
specific activities that we “recommended” to experience for ourselves.
Just as my last Disney cruise was, this is a business
research and building trip. It is a FAM,
or familiarization trip, offered to travel professionals, specifically to other
CRUISE PLANNERS agents like me, so that we might experience first-hand the
ships & itineraries for ourselves, so that we can then have a better
understanding of what we sell – and of course, to be able to sell even more of
it. But beyond the deeply discounted
price, there are no special perks that I’m receiving as a result of going on
this voyage. It will be interesting to
be able to enjoy spending time with other Cruise Planners. My roommate, in fact, acquired his franchise
at the same time as we did, and went through initial training when I did. So it will be fun to reconnect with him and
spend the week together.

Our itinerary includes stops in Grand Cayman and
Cozumel. Unlike the last cruise, I do
not have any pre-planned port adventures, though Jeff, my roommate, has said
that he’s been trying to get us to be able to explore a specific resort in
Cozumel as an FAM tour. So we’ll see if
that works out or not. I was just planning to head over to the beach or
something myself, so if we can get in to see a resort, great! If not, I’ll just put on lots of sunscreen
and head to the beach for a while.
It’s been cold and snowy at home, so my family isn’t all too
thrilled about me being able to escape winter’s cold while they have to stay
home. So for now, there will be no talk
about the weather right now, except to say that it is a good deal warmer here
than at home. With that, I will bid you
adieu, and hope you have a great week… I know my week will be WONDER-ful.
Until next time,
