Vacations R Special Travel

Welcome to Vacations R Special Travel, where your special vacation begins!  This is our new blog to keep our clients informed and maybe amused with our adventures.  We also want to share knowledge with our clients on destinations, suppliers and travel news.  For the next few weeks I will be sharing my recent adventure on RCCL Harmony of the Seas which is currently the largest ship in the world, until tomorrow when the Symphony of the Seas becomes the largest ship in the world! 

Right now RCCL is having a great sale which is 50% off of the second guest, this is a great time to consider your first cruise or your next cruise.  This is a great way to plan that vacation with all of your family, because it is a really big ship so you will get to enjoy what you want during the day then join together at night in the Main Dining room for a wonderful meal with great service.  And do not worry about the kids being bored, with the kids or teen club they will make great friends.  Between the slides, climbing wall, escape room and the many other things to do as a family. 

Let's start with a little background, I have been a travel consultant for twelve years and I have done a few short work cruises, one was a 5 day RCCL cruise to Bermuda and a few short Disney Cruises but they were basically for work.  So this was my first vacation cruise for 7 nights, and I really wasn't sure if it was a great idea or not!  My husband and I usually do a warm weather trip each year to a fun beach destination so the idea of spending a week on a ship with 6500 other people, well I wasn't sure it would be my cup of tea! 

I did my homework!  Yep I printed deck plans for each deck so I would not miss a thing, my goal was to have a drink at all 22 bars!  Actually there are probably more than 22 if you count the bars in each restaurant, but let's go with 22!  Did I accomplish my goal?  What do you think?  Actually I did not but I did see all 22 so that was good enough for me. 

So enough for now,  my next blog is going to wrap up the booking process, pre night hotel and transfers to the port.  Then we can focus on that week of fun??  Remember at this point I was not sure if the life of cruising was for me.  Have a great day
