As to all the noise about Royal Caribbean continuing its calls at Haiti, the people who benefit from those calls are Haitians who have no industry, no income and the 100 or so employees who maintain and work on the island are supporting many people.…

Newspapers and magazines are pretty much out of it when it comes to making assignments to writers they don't know. Budget cuts impact this writing business big time and travel feature writing has suffered quite a bit. Most print pubs are doing every…
I will be on Silver Spirit Jan 20 and 21 for the naming ceremony and hope to meet you. Would love to cruise for 10 weeks....And I agree, cruising is a great way to see the world.
Single travelers - who constantly lament the surcharge for not sharing a cabin - can get a break through Jan. 31 on MSC Poesia, offering discounted single rates on select February and March Caribbean cruises from Port Everglades.
Port Everglades - set in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale and a bit of Dania Beach - has interesting new signage enabling tourists to get around with greater ease. The new signs readily identify ships by name and where to drop off, etc. Port Everglades is…
It really is NOT true that every cruise line has a laundry set up somewhere on the ship. Costa and Holland America, for example, do not. Laundry is a revenue item and what more and more ships are doing is to offer a one-day special laundry rate (jus…

MSC Poesia

- Great to see you here, Marcy! I hope your summer has gone OK -- we haven't bumped into each other somehow, go figure! I hope that changes soon. And BTW, if you have any short piece in your drawer, let me know -- we'd be happy to consider them for our blog!

Tripatini said… - Good morning, Marcia, and welcome to Go-Lo! It's wonderful to have you with us -- and we think you'll find our site productive as well as interesting and enjoyable.
To get the most out of Go-Lo, you may want to take a few minutes to join several of our many groups which you might find of particular interest, such as Media Only!, Florida, Eating/Drinking the World, Cruising, Airfares & Air Travel, and various others covering many topics and most destinations in Europe, the Caribbean, and throughout the world.
FYI, on your profile you'll see a blue bar marked "Text Box," which you can turn into a box containing not just text but also photos and even videos about yourself, your writing, and your outlets. You may also send us the titles of any currently available books you've authored, to feature in our Book Club, Go-Lo Shop, and Read of the Week.
Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, and clients. It's fast and easy to use our "INVITE" function above left on the navigation bar to enter e-mails (even your whole list at once!). Any coverage you could provide of Go-Lo in any of your outlets would also of course be greatly appreciated; we're happy to provide quotes, graphics, and any additional information you might require.
We wish you the best of luck in 2009 and beyond and look forward to hearing more from you... !
