“UNWIND , UNPACK AND COME BACK NEW WITH PRINESS CRUISES”Are you ready to go on vacation and come back new? I know I am.One of my favorite shows growing up (and a strong influence on my travel career) was the television series “The Love Boat”. Broadcast from 1977 to 1986, “The Love Boat” , brought cruising to the forefront and made it possible for everyone to cruise, not just wealthy retirees.One of the best-known names in cruising, Princess Cruises is a global cruise line and tour company operating a fleet of 17 modern cruise ships offering a wide array of choices, entertainment and amenities. A premium cruise brand appealing to families, couples and multigenerational groups at a good value for the vacation dollar. I’ve been onboard Princess cruises many times and Saturday morning, July 22nd at 11:00, my “Let’s Talk Travel with AAA” guest is Judy Kale, sales manager for Princess. Judy’s first Princess cruise was to Alaska where she was hooked, came home and began her career selling Princess cruises. That was 35-years ago and her passion is Alaska cruising and land tours – and she’ll tell us all about it.

“LEGENDARY VOYAGES ABOARD CUNARD”For over 175-years, Cunard - the operator of Queen Mary 2 , Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth , has been taking passengers all over the world in grand style and comfort.If you’ve been dreaming about the “Golden Age of Ocean Travel” – you can stop dreaming and start doing at a price you can afford.Cunard has it all. Glamour…gracious service…luxurious accommodations…magnificent public rooms…and it’s all so civilized – and a British tradition.I’ve had the great pleasure sailing aboard all three “Queens” and Saturday morning, July 15th at 11:00, my “Let’s Talk Travel with AAA” guest is Judy Kale, sales manager for Cunard and veteran cruise expert.Many people are under the impression that a Cunard cruise – particularly a transatlantic crossing – is cost prohibited. It is not. A crossing is more affordable than you think and the price varies with your cabin category and the time of year.Guests may choose an onboard premium experience in the Britannia category or a luxury sailing in Grill Class suites. Is a future cruise aboard a Cunard ocean liner the right match for you? It probably is and you’ll learn all about the ships, the sales and ongoing promotions during Saturday’s show.Luxury on a grand scale – Cunard – the most famous ocean liners in the world.

"EXPERIENCE ALL-INCLUSIVE LUXURY CRUISING ABOARD REGENT SEVEN SEAS CRUISES"Luxury means different things to different people, just as value has a different meaning to many of us.Is it possible to combine both luxury and value?You bet it is - and it is very obvious when you take a Regent Seven Seas cruise.I've been a huge fan of Regent since first stepping aboard the "Mariner" in 2002. Since then I have sailed on "Navigator" , "Voyager" and most recently - the spectacular "Seven Seas Explorer", the world's most luxurious and expensive cruise ship ever built. (She is magnificent!)No detail is overlooked and with airfare, transfers, excursions, spirits, wine, soft drinks, wi-fi, gratuities, and so much more included in your cruise fare - you are never nickel and dimed - ever. Everything is included and that is where the true dollar value comes in. Most guests walk off the ship with a zero balance. A zero balance - do you get that? And if you take a Regent transcontinental cruise - business class air is included. (Have you actually checked the cost of business class airfare to Europe? It's crazy-expensive - and it's included.)Kate Otto, Regent Sales Director and luxury cruise expert for 36-years will be my "Let's Talk Travel with AAA" guest and will tell us all about the Regent Seven Seas difference and why it's time to visit your AAA travel agent and compare all Regent costs with the other premium and luxury lines. In addition, Randall Soy, Regent's Executive Vice President, will join us for a segment on why Regent is such a great value for your vacation dollar , what sets Regent apart from the other luxury lines and why now is the time to take a Regent Seven Seas cruise.Regent Seven Seas Cruises - "The most inclusive luxury experience" - Saturday, June 17, 2017, from 11am til 12pm on "Let's Talk Travel with AAA" on WHP580.For more information, go to www.whp580.com and click on the link to "Let's Talk Travel with AAA"
