Travel tip #12

Prepare for travel crisis – always have your passport or photo id with you. When traveling bring a copy of your passport and photo id with you. Remember to keep them separate from the real stuff. Another idea, email a copy of your passport to yourself. That way you can get a copy of your passport anywhere as long as you know how to check your email!

On Board Credit

On Board Credit or OBC as it is commonly referred to in the cruise industry, is credit that is given to a cabin's on board account. Any extra that you buy and pay for on the ship is charged to your account. such as spa packages or a bottle of wine. On board credit is like "free money" to spend while on your cruise.

Travel tip #28

If you know you will be staying in a small space with little storage, bring an over the door shoe holder (the kind with pockets). This is a nifty tool to keep small items together and out of the way such as socks, hair spray, shoes, hair clips, books, batteries, cameras. I think you get the idea. Have a good trip!

Europe

Do you know the best way to see Europe right now is on a cruise? If you did not get to Europe this year because of the weak dollar think about next year. Actually now is the best time to get great deals on European cruises. A European cruise is like a floating hotel that is paid in advance in American dollars. (don't forget this also includes your meals and entertainment on the ship) The ship docks in a different port each morning, your stuff never leaves your cabin and your favorite waiter is waiting for you every night. Starting think where you want to go. Need help? Check our www.mycruiseoutlet.com for more information.
