Just an FYI.......Anyone wanting or needing a Passport wait times are going up. 8-11 weeks min. If you try "Expedited" it is supposed to cut it to a few weeks but they say it's not helping much due to staffing. If you are planning to get yours or need to renew yours Do It Now!

If you are a First Responder, Nurse, or Military member thinking of the FREE cruise from Margaritaville at Sea Beware. It is getting terrible reviews. It also as expected not free. As usual "If it seems too good to be true...."

Airfare Prices Fell Again Last Month, Expected to Continue Dropping Into Autumn

Airfares were down again last month, and they are likely to continue falling through autumn.

Now before we pull a hamstring jumping for joy, let’s temper this news with the realities of the calendar. Most families take their vacations early in the summer, right after school lets out in late May or mid-June, and especially around the Fourth of July holiday. Many families with college-aged children are sending them off to campuses around the country, while others have already elementary, middle, and high schools in many parts of the country.

That said, it is still encouraging news to learn that airfares have dropped. According to CBS News, using data from the Department of Labor, airfares fell 7.8 percent in the month of July compared to June. That was on top of a modest 1.8 percent decrease in June from a peak in May.

And if you’re thinking about traveling by plane in the next two months, this is your moment to book flights.

"If you're looking for a deal on airfare, now is the sweet spot," Haley Berg, lead economist for the travel website Hopper, told CBS News.

Berg said that buying a domestic ticket for September and October flights will cost an average of $238, which would be about 37 percent less expensive than the peak in May.

Berg did caution however that it’s a short window – prices, she said, will rise again in November as the holiday season arrives.

"Though prices have fallen from the peak earlier this summer, well over $400, they are still relatively high," Berg said. "Prices will probably drop a little bit between now and the middle of October. You will want to book your holiday travel by that second week of October."

As you can see, I have completed (for the most part) my transition from being a Cruises Inc agent to being an associate with Dream Vacations. I was working for myself as an agent for Cruises Inc but I am now working as an associate under Kris Monks Bishopp & Associates - Dream Vacations out of NC. I look forward to the next stage of my career as a Dream Vacation Associate. What does this mean to YOU the client? Nothing except more opportunities to travel with confidence and have a “turn-key” travel experience. I will still provide the high level of travel expertise that you have come to know. So come book with me for the “Dean Experience” as some have said….LOL

Well isn't that interesting

01/14/2022

Well it looks like the time is near....The name on this page will be changing soon to reflect the new Company that I will be working for. The main company "World Travel Holding" is doing away with Cruises Inc. This is one of the reasons I wanted to go to the Conference on the Celebrity Apex. Besides the fact that it was a cruise to go on it was also a very important fact-finding mission for the future of my travel business. I had the opportunity to purchase a franchise but did not feel the time was right for me to do that. What does this all mean? Well the contract paperwork is almost complete that will make me an associate member of Kris Bishopp & Associates Dream Vacations. So, I will be working for Dream Vacations very soon and Cruises Inc will be no more. Does this effect you the traveler / Client? NO I will still be able to supply enjoyable travel to you the client and the transition should be pretty seamless. In fact, now I will even have back up so when there are issues or I am unavailable you can still reach someone. I welcome the new adventure and being a part of a great franchise with "DREAM VACATIONS"
