E-TRAVEL TIPS AND INFORMATION

Dear Travel Friends
THE INAUGURAL CRUISE, NORWEGIAN BLISS - JUNE 2018
Gillian and Bob were invited on the inaugural cruise on the latest of the mega cruise ships, Norwegian Bliss, recently introduced into service by Norwegian Cruise Line.
This was our opportunity to experience this fabulous, massive and beautiful ocean liner as we cruised from Seattle, WA to Victoria, Canada.
In the ensuing four days, guests celebrated this landmark event being wined and dined, treated to great entertainment, experiencing restaurants and buffets and investigating what is offered on board to amuse and entertain guests. We were accommodated in a brand new luxurious state room with private balcony. Click here to see pictures we took while on board.
At the end of this fabulous cruise, we disembarked as Norwegian Bliss was being readied for it's very first commercial passenger cruise to Alaska. Everything about this inaugural cruise experience was top-of-the-line fantastic.
We can highly recommend choosing a cruise aboard this gorgeous new cruise ship. Read more about Norwegian Bliss.

DID YOU KNOW?
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION CREDIT CARD FEE CHARGES, CAN EASILY ADD UP TO A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY
Do you frequently travel internationally and use your credit card for purchases while abroad? If so, you should make a point to check if any of your credit cards charge foreign currency transaction fees on the purchases you make abroad.
This fee is generally 3% of the cost of every foreign transaction you make and can easily add up to a substantial amount of money. If your credit card company does charge a foreign transaction fee, research and find another credit card that does not charge these fees. Click here to find unendorsed credit cards that do not charge foreign transaction fess.
We have used Sam's Club Business Mastercard and Wells Fargo Business Platinum Visa cards for many years and neither charge a foreign transaction fee. Click for more information.

TIPPING IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Tipping is discretionary and one should "tip if pleased" when deciding to tip for services received. The amount you tip is personal and should be relative to the service provided. Tipping etiquette in foreign countries is not the same as in the US and your hotel reception desk or concierge is a great resource for tipping suggestions. Click here for more tipping information and see our Tipping travel tip.
