Spontaneous Cruises

SO excited and cannot hardly wait! My husband is self-employed (mobile mechanic) and he says he is having to "flog" himself to get his work done! It is sugarbeet harvest here in Wyoming so he is keeping a bunch of older-than-the-hills trucks running for the farmers for one more year (some of these trucks are 4 trucks taken apart and put together to make one truck!) I got a new digital camcorder and have been practicing up! We have been to Europe before but never for this length of time. Unfortunately, the dollar is so bad it's taking a beating. Travel sites are warning about exchanging your dollars for Euros and no place in Rome will take dollars anymore. It is VERY expensive using taxis or shuttles. The train is fairly cheap but when you have a lot of luggage it is not very convenient (lots of bums and panhandlers too.) Train is safe and fast but not for everyone. I got an email yesterday that there are still unsold rooms on a 12 day coming from Barcelona to Florida and an interior room was 399.00! It was around Thanksgiving but I think you missed the big travel rush dates. Vacationstogo.com always has last minute unsold cruises. Mary

Spontaneous or "Spur of the Moment" cruises are fantastic! If you want to go on one be sure to remember medicines, money, clothing, ect.

I agree, sometimes the best trips are the ones that are just spur of the moment. My family and I decided to take a Disney Cruise literally 24 hours before the cruise was set to sail. It was a little crazy packing but luckily we didn’t forget anything. We didn’t get the first dining or a room with a view but it was still WONDERFUL! Disney did not offer any deals (which is surprising because one would think they would just be happy to have the room occupied rather than empty) but it was still such a relaxing vacation.

That seems so much fun! Do you think you’re going to do another "spontaneous" cruise?

Personally, I like to plan mine ahead of time, but for the right cruise, I could probably consider something spontaneous….

Hi dear friends, Spontaneous cruises may be as short as a single night – yet busy, busy – starting with a sail away party, five-course dinner, Broadway-style show, cabaret, disco.
Thanks
