Taking Care of Travel . . . for YOU!
Credentials you can count on. Von
Bears is pleased to announce
Linda Logsdon, CTA, ACC
CONGRATULATIONS to our new CTA!
To
learn more about this achievement conferred by The Travel Institute in Wellesley, Massachussetts, call for press release.
A Pre-CTA workshop will be offered by Von Bears later in 2012. If you are interested in becoming a Travel Associate
of Von Bears, please call for details and availability.
While none of my clients were onboard most of you heard that the Costa Concordia ran
aground on rocks off Islo di Giglio near the coast of Northwestern Italy. Carrying over 4000 passengers and crew, most
eventually escaped to Giglio where they received as many blankets as the tiny community could muster.
Getting home without documentation, financial tools and cell phones was another battle. Such incidents are the reason
I always recommend leaving a copy of your documentation with a family member at home who can fax it if needed. Those
who grabbed their travel packets as they left ship have obvious advantage, especially if they purchased travel insurance and
their agent included their policy # and international 800 # in their documents packet. Sadly, such unforeseen emergencies
are one reason for purchasing travel insurance. You hope you’ll never need it but if you do virtually nothing
less than travel insurance meets this unique need.
My advise to passengers while traveling is to listen carefully
-- however boring -- to be sure you know what you're supposed to do in such cases. If the ship is listing, don't wait
for the intercom to tell you to vest-up and head to your muster station in your own language. Of course, if they
do come on the intercom in a language you recognize, pay close attention and cooperate fully with the instructions as they
are announced and explained.
Though I’ll probably not be recommending Costa to mid-American cruisers for
a while . . . if you both speak and understand fluent Italian, you can undoubtedly expect to find some incredible values on
Costa over the coming months, if not years. And I daresay, they will amend their muster station drills procedure as
promptly as possible.
