Cruise Sweepstakes: Win a 7-Night Holland America Cruise!
Introduction
I hesitated to share this, feeling selfishly protective of my own odds of winning. But then I figured sharing might actually increase my odds. After all, it’s a cruise for two and if one of my treasured readers were to win, surely they’d cast aside their regular travel companion in favor of sharing a tiny cruise cabin with a questionable stranger they follow on the internet solely for her cruise menus and food pics (and not the detailed cruise reviews or guides she spends weeks preparing). Great! Now that we have that settled, here are the details…

Today’s Cruising Tip
I ALWAYS buy travel insurance to cover my cruises, but I NEVER purchase it through a cruise line. It costs more and usually covers less than policies you purchase on your own. I go through sites like travelinsurance.com* to compare plans and prices and get the best deal for the coverage I want. Just enter your travel dates, total travel costs (cruise fare, hotel, air, etc), and answer a few basic questions about yourself and quickly and easily see all your options. You can also read reviews before you purchase a plan. Spend less on insurance and spend more on excursions, special onboard cruise experiences, and…future cruises!
Homework (10 points): Follow Prof. Cruise on your favorite social media sites:
