Destination Weddings: Why Marry Away?
In the past, marrying away from home usually meant eloping. The couple would steal away in the night to flee family disapproval or expectations and tie the knot on their own terms. Today, the idea has shed its stigma and a growing number of couples are hightailing it away from the traditional formal affair to a casual, intimate occasion in their dream honeymoon spot.
These destination weddings involve just the couple; the couple and a select handful of friends and family (often just another couple); or the couple plus enough guests to constitute a weeklong family -- or college -- reunion. Then, the just-marrieds can take a second week to disappear on their own. The "reception," if any, is more like a big party and held when the couple returns home. Why are destination weddings a growing trend?
http://www.exquisitewedevents.com/
They're Virtually Stress-Free, so popular, more cost effective, almost guaranteed to be simpler (and faster!) to plan than a traditional wedding and reception.
Some tourist boards are jumping on the bandwagon, with brochures listing ceremony sites and local wedding vendors in their area. Governments are working to ease restrictions and attract to-be-weds.
Honeymoon-happy resorts and cruise lines around the world have made it easier and more appealing to wed on-site. Many have full-time wedding coordinators on staff who are familiar with that country's marriage license requirements and who offer wedding packages that take care of all your ceremony essentials (photographer, cake, minister, etc.). You step off the plane and sign the papers; they take care of the rest.
If you're not getting married at a resort, you can hire a stateside wedding planner who specializes in destination weddings, contact a wedding planner in the town you plan to wed, you won't have to plan a reception, and won't that be a relief?

No scene-stealing family drama. First and foremost,the event is about the two people getting married.
For many, the families are a very large get-together of extended family and business associates. Predictably, each set of parents have their own ideas. " Who needs all that chaos and drama?

Because these weddings are so cost effective, the affordability of a destination wedding has many couples opting for this kind of wedding." To ease the financial burden, many couples choose to travel to a place where they can get married, have a honeymoon, and still have some money left over to start their new lives together.
The world is your altar and since you call the shots, your experience can be unique, with a ceremony and location that reflect their true colors. Perhaps an "Out of Africa" experience? A snowy mountain-peak ceremony? .
Perfect for Second Marriages or the bride and/or groom have done the Hollywood-scale production before and want something quieter or less expensive this time around, or they want to be someplace anonymous, without the watchful eyes and whispers of the hometown crowd

Couples can also opt for a combined bachelor/bachelorette celebration and invite the entire wedding party to a private fiesta on the beach or whereever you choose. You're usually required to arrive a few days early to fill out the paperwork, so by the time your wedding rolls around, you've had two to three days of fun with your sweetie, family, and friends. After the wedding, plan on having some history lessons around the city or town of your choice. Call us for more details and help.

ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISELINES TO SEND AID TO HAITI
Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, was shaken by a powerful earthquake near the capital that destroyed a hospital, a school and the presidential palace, raising fears thousands have been killed.
The 7.0-magnitude temblor hit 10 miles (15 kilometers) southwest of Port-au-Prince, a city of about 2 million inhabitants.
According to reporters," the quake had caused a major catastrophe." Communications to much of the country were cut off, and there were no official reports of casualties immediately available.
Port-au-Prince is in “total chaos,” with clouds of dust from collapsed buildings choking the city and fears that thousands may be dead, a school with children inside collapsed in Port-au- Prince, according to Unicef. A hospital was destroyed in Petionville, an upscale district near the capital city, bodies were seen in the streets(the extent of the casualties unknown), people were screaming for help or digging through rubble to find loved ones, houses slipping down hills, walls collapsing and landslides leaving roads blocked, which will impede any response by authorities.
Haiti’s first lady, reported that the presidential palace had partially collapsed, though President Rene Preval is safe.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. is offering full assistance to Haiti.
“We will be providing both civilian and military disaster relief and humanitarian assistance,” Clinton said during remarks in Honolulu. “And our prayers are with the people who have suffered, their families, and their loved ones.”
http://www.afordabletravelhq.com/
Though Royal Caribbean International’s Independence of the Seas is scheduled to dock at Labadee, its private island off the coast of Haiti, on Friday, travel agents are reporting their clients are unaffected by the earthquake that wreaked havok in the capital and the country. Site inspections of the offshore island of Labadee revealed no apparent damage to the cruise line’s buildings, pier and attractions.

Cunard's New Queen Elizabeth Reaches Major Milestone
Ceremonies Mark the Float Out of the World’s Newest Queen
Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth Reaches Major Milestone
5 January 2010 – Special ceremonies at Fincantieri’s Monfalcone shipyard near Trieste, Italy, were held today to mark the float out of Cunard’s newest liner, Queen Elizabeth. Cunard’s President and Managing Director, Peter Shanks, was joined by 79-year-old Florence (Dennie) Farmer, who served as guest of honour at the event. Dennie’s husband, Willie Farmer, joined Cunard in September 1938 and served as Chief Engineer on both the first Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth 2 until retirement in October 1979. Since her husband’s passing, Dennie has sailed with Cunard many times and her link with the two previous Queen Elizabeth ships is unparalleled. In recognition of this, Cunard has bestowed Dennie with the honour, in Italian tradition, of being “Madrina” to the third Queen Elizabeth.
http://www.affordabletravelhq.com/
The first ceremony involved the welding of significant coins beneath the mast of Queen Elizabeth for good luck. Three coins were chosen – a half crown dated 1938 (the year the first Queen Elizabeth was launched), a sovereign dated 1967 (the year Queen Elizabeth 2 was launched) and a sovereign dated 2010 (to acknowledge the new Queen Elizabeth being floated out in 2010).
After the coin ceremony, the focus moved to the dockside, where the liner was blessed and a bottle of Italian prossecco was smashed against the hull by the Madrina. The valves of the dry dock were then opened and the liner met the water for the first time.
“It is only a little over six months since the keel for this great ship was laid. In that short time, a solitary block at the bottom of the dry dock has, as a result of the skill and discipline of the workforce here at Fincantieri, grown into this awe-inspiring vessel,” said Shanks. “Even in her present unfinished state, devoid of the carpets and curtains, furnishings and facilities, paintings and porcelain that we associate with a Cunard luxury liner, she is awesome. Of the 170 years of Cunard's history, there has been an ‘Elizabeth’ in the fleet for more than 70 and this ship – the second largest Cunarder ever built –will take the name far into the 21st Century.”
Queen Elizabeth will feature many unique Cunard traditions linking her with her sisters, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria, and their predecessors. It also will feature all the modern day luxuries Cunard’s guests have come to expect. Additionally, there will be features that will give the vessel her own style and personality.
http://www.affordabletravelhq.com/
The first Queen Elizabeth was one of Cunard’s greatest ships, and the new Queen Elizabeth will reflect her predecessor in interior grandeur, décor and style, but with a modern twist. From the outside, her distinctive black and red livery will hint at an experience that differentiates a Cunard liner from a modern-day cruise ship. This will be most evident in the ship’s adherence to liner traditions, with elegant double- and triple-height public rooms on a grand scale, luxuriously endowed with rich wood panelling, intricate mosaics, hand-woven carpets, gleaming chandeliers and cool marbles. Art Deco features will pay homage to the original Queen Elizabeth and will allow the new ship to reflect a more civilized era of travel.
As successor to Queen Elizabeth 2, the ship will also reflect this great liner through artwork and memorabilia, and its very own “Yacht Club.” Queen Elizabeth will acknowledge the links that Cunard has enjoyed with royalty and the maritime world over the years with photography, memorabilia and exhibits.
Queen Elizabeth’s Maiden Voyage, now sold out, will depart on Tuesday12 October 2010. This 13-night celebration will leave from the company’s home port in Southampton (UK), and will call at Vigo, Lisbon, Cadiz, Las Palmas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (overnight call) and Funchal.
Her Maiden Season will run from October 2010 to January 2011 and include voyages to the Western and Central Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Fares for the ship’s 13-day Iberian Discovery voyage start from $2,620 per person, based on double occupancy. Departing roundtrip from Southampton on December 1, Queen Elizabeth will visit Vigo, Lisbon, Cadiz, Grand Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma and Madeira.
Queen Elizabeth will depart Southampton on 5 January 2011 on her 103-night epic Maiden World Voyage, which has just opened for sale. This tour will feature 35 maiden calls, including Cunard’s first call ever at Port Denarau (Fiji). In total, Queen Elizabeth will call at 38 ports in 23 countries as she makes her way west around the globe, with maiden transits of both the Panama and Suez Canals and calls at Los Angeles, Auckland, Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and Lisbon.
http://www.affordabletravelhq.com/
Queen Elizabeth will be in great company, as her sisters will be on hand for several Cunard Royal Rendezvous meetings during the voyage: she will sail in tandem en route to New York with Queen Victoria before all three Cunard Queens meet in New York on 13 January; she will meet Queen Mary 2 in Sydney on 22 February and in Civitavecchia on 13 April; and she will meet Queen Victoria again in Aruba on 19 January.

NEW 130,000-TON CRUISE SHIP ORDERED FOR CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES UNIT
MIAMI (December 1, 2009) – Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK) has reached an agreement with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to construct a 130,000-ton cruise ship for its Carnival Cruise Lines brand, scheduled to enter service in spring 2012.
To be built at Fincantieri’s Monfalcone yard under a U.S. dollar denominated contract, the all-in cost of the vessel is approximately $200,000 per lower berth.
The new 3,690-passenger vessel will offer many of the same innovations featured on the recently launched Carnival Dream, as well as some exciting new elements to be announced at a later date.
Like Carnival Dream, which has earned accolades for its creative design and on-board amenities, the new 130,000-ton ship will include a WaterWorks aqua park with a 300-foot-long corkscrew water slide, a stunning indoor/outdoor café and live entertainment venue called Ocean Plaza, and a wide range of staterooms including deluxe ocean views with two-bathrooms, some of which feature five berths and hold particular appeal for families.
Expansive, modern facilities for children and teens, a 23,750-square-foot Cloud 9 Spa, and The Lanai, an outdoor promenade featuring cantilevered whirlpools that extend over the ship’s sides, will be included, as well.
Already under construction at Fincantieri is the second sister ship to the Carnival Dream, the 130,000-ton Carnival Magic, which is scheduled to enter service in May 2011.
“Barely in service for two months, Carnival Dream is already earning rave reviews from guests and travel agents and ordering a third Dream-class ship speaks volumes about the confidence we have in the continued success of this series,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival Cruise Lines’ president and CEO. “The Dream class of ships embodies the evolution of our brand by providing the type of fun, affordable vacations that today’s consumers are seeking,” he added.
Commented Fincantieri’s Chief Executive Officer Giuseppe Bono, “Fincantieri has been working with our partners at Carnival Corporation & plc for more than 25 years. During this time it has been our privilege to build some of the most beautiful and technically advanced ships in cruising and we are honored to construct a third Dream-class ship for the Carnival Cruise Lines brand.”
Carnival Corporation & plc is the largest cruise vacation group in the world, with a portfolio of cruise brands in North America, Europe and Australia, comprised of Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, The Yachts of Seabourn, AIDA Cruises, Costa Cruises, Cunard Line, Ibero Cruises, Ocean Village, P&O Cruises and P&O Cruises Australia.
Together, these brands operate 93 ships totaling more than 180,000 lower berths with 13 new ships scheduled to be delivered between January 2010 and spring 2012. Carnival Corporation & plc also operates Holland America Princess Alaska Tours, the leading tour company in Alaska and the Canadian Yukon. Traded on both the New York and London Stock Exchanges, Carnival Corporation & plc is the only group in the world to be included in both the S&P 500 and the FTSE 100 indices.

More Hot Destinations
At Some time in our lives we'd all love to leave our footprints on a white sand beach in Tahiti and Bora Bora; or snorkel the crystal clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef. It is here, in Australia and the South Pacific, that natural beauty abounds. Fascinating people inhabit peaceful islands and charming cities combine old-world atmosphere with hardy, frontier spirit. I remember my Grandmother saying, "Before I kick the bucket I would like to do certain things or travel somewhere.) Cruising or travelling to the South Pacific/ New Zealand or Australia should be one of our "Before I kick the bucket" thing we would want to do.
Please visit our website for more Hot Destination Ideas and great prices:http://cshettlesworth.cruiseone.com
The South Pacific holds an abundance of natural treasures and the islands of Hawaii and Tahiti are just two of their better-known jewels. From the legendary beauty of French Polynesia's Bora Bora to the lush Hawaiian landscape of Kauai and the pristine beaches of Tahiti, immerse yourself in the diverse, yet singular Polynesian culture and experience the warmth of the Aloha Spirit.
These lush tropical sanctuaries are the ideal places to relax, unwind and embrace "Island Time." Discover Hawaii and its South Pacific cousins.
A cruise to Australia, New Zealand, and/or the South Pacific can fulfill almost every exotic adventure that a serious traveler could dream. Cruises and cruisetours start at 14 nights long and sail seasonally between October and April. The beauty of these itineraries is that you can see as much of the South Pacific as you like in one cruise. For example, you might combine Tahiti with New Zealand, or New Zealand with Australia. This means you could begin or end your cruise in a variety of ports including Hawaii or ports in the Orient and Asia.
Please visit our website for more Hot Destination Ideas and great prices:http://cshettlesworth.cruiseone.com
An Australia/South Pacific Cruise can take you to many of these ports, depending upon your ship and sailing date. By the way, some of our Australia and South Pacific cruises may also visit Hawaii, so you may want to read a little bit more about it in our Hawaii section.
Brisbane, Australia
Perth, Australia
Adelaide, Australia
Sydney, Australia
Melbourne, Australia
Hobart, Tasmania
Cairs and Great barrier Reef, New Zealand
Tahiti
Fiji
American Samoa
Soloman Islands
New Guinea
Far from the routine of everyday life, there is a lush paradise... Shimmering emerald islands in the sapphire Pacific. And there's a stretch of beach beneath swaying coconut palms with your name on it. It's but one of many magical sights you'll encounter. Sail to the South Pacific and Australia with Charmaine at Cruiseone, and your tropical fantasy will be a dream come true.

Famous Destinations
More than 2000 miles from the nearest major land mass, the Hawaiian Islands form the most isolated group of islands in the world. Palm-fringed beaches, tropical sunsets, Polynesian luau's, glowing volcanoes . . . there's something for everyone in Hawaii.
Hawaiian cruises are the ultimate "island-hopping" adventures, affordably taking you from one tropical Hawaiian Island to another while experiencing the luxurious features of your cruise ship. 7-night Hawaiian Islands cruises are offered weekly by American Hawaii Cruises. However, most cruise lines offer 10 or 11 night Hawaiian Island cruises in April, September and October on the fringes of their Alaska seasons.
For more Info on destinations, visit: http://www.cruiseone.com/cshettlesworth
The 7-night cruises begin and end in Honolulu and visit a different port everyday, possibly including an overnight stay in some ports. The longer 10 & 11-night seasonal cruises are one way repositioning cruises to or from the North American Mainland or South Pacific and Far East.
Depending on your ship and itinerary, you will more than likely visit these ports:
Honolulu, Oahu
Nawililiwili, Kauai
Kahului, Maui
Hilo, Hawaii
Kona, Hawaii
Each of the islands in the Hawaiian chain has its own personality. Discover them all on your Hawaii cruise. From the Big Island and its active volcano to the lush Garden Isle of Kauai and the immaculate beaches of Maui, this cultural melting pot of peoples and ethnicities keeps the aloha spirit alive and well. The beauty of Hawaii can be seen not only in its lush greenery and beaches, but also in the smiles of its inhabitants.
Hawaiian Islands
Diamond Head
While in port in Honolulu, you can hike up to the crater's ridge for breathtaking panoramic views.
Kaneohe Bay
Protected by a barrier reef, this calm blue lagoon is ideal for both snorkelers and divers on our Hawaii cruise.
Kona (Kailua), Hawaii
Kona, the sunny side of the Big Island, is home to both world-class coffee plantations and golf courses, and you can enjoy both.
Maui, Hawaii
Upscale resorts with low profiles, gourmet restaurants and pristine beaches are plentiful on this Hawaii cruise’s port of call.
The longer cruises can begin or end in:
Vancouver, British Columbia
Acapulco, Mexico
Papeete, Tahiti
Los Angeles
San Diego
Whether you're taking a 4-wheel drive mountain adventure in Kauai; a helicopter ride over the Haleakala Crater in Maui; hiking on the active Kilauea Volcano in Hilo; snorkeling off the sunshine-bathed Gold Coast of Kona; or making a trip to the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, you will find a Hawaiian Cruise to be a trip of a lifetime.

The Renaissance of Falmouth, Jamaica
Treasured memories revisited my thoughts as I refresh my unusual fascination with the town of Falmouth during my youthful years. The Georgian style buildings speak eloquently of its rich British heritage, inhabited by friendly natives that articulately expressed the aboriginal dialect of patois and proudly embraced their deep-rooted culture and family values. Twenty years later, my fascination with Falmouth became an interesting discovery and realization at Royal Caribbean Cruise line. Falmouth, carefully laid out with narrow streets, named after 18th and 19th century, is the site of a new cruise port, currently under construction. It will be able to occupy two of Royal Caribbean's Genesis class ships. Once a very affluent town, and is reported to institute secured pipe water before New York State. In the late 1820s there was an estimate of 25,000 slaves that were held captive in Trelawny alone. Merchants built shops beneath their homes- Georgian style Townhomes said to be the finest known outside of Great Britain. Some of the houses featured, stone built lower floors and wooden upper floors, with wrought iron balconies and verandahs supported on wooden columns, reaching out over the sidewalks.

Falmouth, capital of Trelawny has great historical relevance, closely linked to the Sugar and Rum industry of the 17th and 18th centuries. Situated between Montego Bay (20 minute drive) and Ocho Rios (30 minutes), Falmouth is on her way to becoming the fourth Jamaican port, to make a huge contribution to the cruise industry. (The less-used Port Antonio on the eastern end of the island is the third). Tourist infrastructure is somewhat minimal -- a shopping and historical center, an 18th-century Anglican Church, Georgian-style plantation houses, spelunking adventures -- but the new port addition is expected to drive remarkable improvements. In centuries past, Falmouth has served both as a catalyst and a thriving gateway for the export of sugar and rum. It boasts what is believed to be the Caribbean’s largest collection of Classic Georgian buildings. For more information on the hottest spots in Jamaica and the rest of the world, contact us at:

The Port Authority of Jamaica has won government approval to build a Genesis-class cruise facility in Falmouth. The goal is to restructure and refashion the area into a Colonial Williamsburg of the Caribbean, i.e. a place where tourists can capture and recreate the experiences of the "English heritage" of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Jamaica (not too sure all will want to relive this). This project will have a significant impact on the Falmouth economy and vastly supercharge the local shopping center, which will channel their focus on arts and crafts.
When Oasis of the Seas begins sailing its Western Caribbean route in spring 2010, the Jamaican port -- Falmouth -- will be ready to accommodate the massive 220,000-ton 5,400-passenger mega-liner. Royal Caribbean is working in conjunction with the Jamaican government on the multi-million dollar revitalization project.
According to The Port Authority of Jamaica estimates the waterside infrastructure investment will cost in excess of $100m. The pier is poised and well positioned to become fully operational in August 2009 and will be open to all lines.
The cruise terminal and shops will be ‘completely themed on the Georgian architecture. The historic area surrounding the port will be totally rehabilitated and restructured with improved additions and new ideas, including horse carriage rides and other greatly anticipated attractions.
Many people optimistically believe that the development of Falmouth has given ‘a kick start in revitalizing the industry’s view of Jamaica. A new port will reignite and revive the world wide appeal and recreational interest in Jamaica as a whole.

Why hire a Travel or Honeymoon Specialists when you can do it yourself!!!!
A love of travel and knowledge of this industry coupled with the enthusiasm for advising the travel enthusiast about travel destinations and itineraries, superb communication and computer skills are important traits for a Travel Specialists to have.
Travel Specialists assist travelers sort through vast amounts of information to help them determine the best possible travel arrangements. They offer advice on destinations such as the weather conditions, local ordinances and customs, attractions, and exhibitions and make arrangements for transportation, hotel accommodations, car rentals, and tours for their clients. They are also the primary source of bookings for most of the major cruise lines. In addition, resorts and specialty travel groups utilise travel specialists to promote cost effective packages to their clients. For those traveling internationally, specialists also provide information on customs regulations, required documents (passports, visas, and certificates of vaccination), travel advisories, and currency exchange rates. In the event of changes in their itinerary whether it is in the middle of a trip, or any such eventuality, travel specialists intercede on the traveler’s behalf to make alternate booking arrangements.
For more info on the ideal places to visit please email us at: cshettlesworth@cruiseone.com or visit us at: www.cruiseone.com/cshettlesworth
Travel agents make use of a variety of published and computer-based sources for information on departure and arrival times, fares, quality of hotel accommodations, and group discounts. They may also make prearranged visits to hotels, resorts, and restaurants themselves to evaluate the comfort, cleanliness, and the quality of specific hotels and restaurants so that they can base recommendations on their own experiences or those of colleagues or clients.
Specialists are increasingly facing competition from travel and airline websites for low-cost fares, but travelers still prefer using travel Specialists who can provide the personal customized touch through planning for complex itineraries to remote or multiple destinations.
Travel Specialists spend most of their time behind a desk conferring with clients, completing paperwork, contacting airlines and hotels to make travel arrangements, and promoting tours. Most of their time is spent either on the telephone or on the computer researching travel itineraries or updating reservations and travel documents. They may be under a great deal of pressure during travel emergencies or when they need to reschedule missed reservations. Peak vacation times, such as summer and holiday travel periods, also tend to be hectic.
