“We would like to take a Caribbean cruise this winter,” Betsy Toures said to Lem when she stopped in the travel agency recently. “What do you recommend and what about the cold?” “There are a number of cruises that we can recommend,” Lem replied, “and in doing so we like to emphasize a few things about the cost. Inflation and the recession has affected the cruise business just as it has everything else. But we find that cruise companies guarantee the rates shown in their brochures, in the event of a price increase, to those who have paid deposits or in full. However, we are told that fare levels for an ocean-going holiday should hold as shown through spring.” “Another suggestion is that if you are planning a cruise it is* wise to budget some $l4O a day per person to make your vacation estimate a close reality. That may sound high but it includes every cost for transportation, accommodations, and a multitude of meals. It does not include personal expenses such as booze, tips, shore excursions and purchases. Air-fare is included if you buy a fly-cruise package. When you consider that the ship is yo'ur hotel for the whole time as well as transportation, you may find the estimated budget comparable to a land vacation including any of the islands visited by cruise ships,” Lem added. “We can spend only a week so what do you suggest?" asked Betsy. “There are a number of sevenday cruises sailing on Saturday or' Sunday, and returning the following Saturday or Sunday in plenty of time to make air connections for home. Most of the cruise ships sail from the Port of <Miami but there are a few which originate their cruises at San Juan and this allows time to visit more islands. You will note that the itineraries vary. Port calls in the Bahamas, San Juan in Puerto Rico and in the Virgin Islands are often included. Another itinerarymay stop first at Cozumel then cruise over to Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios and Saint Thomas. Another ship spends most of the time at sea and makes only two ports of call These ships all are “floating resorts with many

activities and entertainment plans available besides the swimming pool (or pools) for the sun lovers,” Lem explained. “So look through these brochures for the cruise that includes islands you would like to visit, and study the deck plans so that you can list several preferences for cabins. We always ask for one or two choices in case first choice is not available,” Lem advised. “Also, you will notice that cruise lines may be owned and operated by steamship companies of European countries, and elsewhere, too. For the most part each ship’s crew is made up of natives from the country of the cruise line. This of course adds an international flavor to your vacation as the customs and habits of that nation are reflected in the daily management and service of the ship. This may or may not be a consideration in making your choice of cruises. ' “We have heard our friends talk about the different steam ship lines and the comparison of different nationalities. So we will do as you suggest and study all of these brochures. They are beautiful and very tempting,” Betsy commented. "And while 1 am here, tell me about the Hawaiian cruise we are hearing so much about.” “That’s another delightful experience and gives you seven days among the islands. They call it Hawaii’s floating island. Your ship is your hotel from the time you go aboard after landing by air at Honolulu. This ship; the Oceanic Independence, sets- sail at midnight on its tour of the islands, and visits five of the most popular ports-of-call on four different islands. Programs are arranged for half-day and fullday shore excursions for sightseeing and shopping. Take this brochure with you, too. The information for booking this cruise is the same as for any other,” Lem added. “Incidentally, this ship is owned and operated by an American steamship company.” “We ll spend some time going over these brochures and decide which cruise is for us<” Betsy said adding that she was sure they would be back soon to ask more questions and make reservations."
