Saylor Cruises was among a select few agencies invited to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to experience the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s groundbreaking ships firsthand. Paula Saylor participated in comprehensive training seminars that imparted in-depth knowledge about Royal Caribbean’s offerings, from the vast array of complimentary onboard experiences to custom shore excursions, specialty dining, and the cruise line’s private beach destinations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We toured both the Oasis and the Allure of the Seas as well as gaining valuable insight to Royal Caribbean’s continued efforts to not only intrigue but also meet the ever changing needs of our clients. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This experience will definitely enable me to help my clients choose the ship from the Royal Caribbean portfolio, that most suits what my clients are looking for in a cruise vacation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agents experienced an intense weekend including both work and play. The weekend included staying in local recommended pre- and post-cruise hotels, and tours of ships including Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, and the beautiful sister ship Allure of the Seas. These are two of the most innovative vessels on the market. Seminars interwoven throughout the weekend loaded agents with details on the brand’s newest and most innovative ships, new experiences onboard and on shore, plus new destinations among Royal Caribbean’s roster of more than 280 ports worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We rely heavily on travel agents, our valued partners, to showcase the wide range of incredible experiences our ships and destinations offer to their clients,” said Vicki L. Freed, Senior Vice President of Sales and Trade Support &amp;amp; Services for Royal Caribbean International. “Our Familiarization Weekend is the best way we can build upon their knowledge and grow their expertise, so they can continue to be the go-to resource for clients looking to book a Royal Caribbean cruise.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past year, Royal Caribbean has won accolades including “Best Cruise Line Overall” (from the Travel Weekly Readers’ Choice Awards, for the eighth consecutive year), “Best Cruise Ships” for Oasis and Allure of the Seas (Frommer’s), and “Best for Families” (Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks Awards). Clients wishing to learn more about a Royal Caribbean cruise with one of Saylor Cruises’s expert-level agents can call 440-779-7032 or email Paula at saylorcruz@aol.com for more information.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34860502-7358378038095329159?l=saylorcruises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saylorcruises.blogspot.com/feeds/7358378038095329159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34860502&amp;postID=7358378038095329159' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34860502/posts/default/7358378038095329159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34860502/posts/default/7358378038095329159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saylorcruises.blogspot.com/2011/07/saylor-cruises-participated-in-royal.html' title='Saylor Cruises Participated in Royal Caribbean International Familizaration Weekend'/><author><name>Bob Collett</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12318798002226425273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o6aAj5ijZC0/S23e8Vei9_I/AAAAAAAAAGg/hqUWdZISUWE/S220/IMG00063-20091113-1606.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860502.post-2306327363185869718</id><published>2009-10-06T15:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-06T15:27:20.492-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stump pass marina'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='don pedro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='englewood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boat launch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='manasota key'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eldreds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boca grande'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='don pedro state park'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cape haze resort'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cape haze'/><title type='text'>Cape Haze vacation rental by owner</title><content type='html'>The family just returned from Cape Haze, which is located about 30 mile south of Sarasota across from Lemon Bay. I am told that we can just barely see the intra-coastal waterway from our front door.  This was a pleasant surprise, because we are across the street from the intra-coastal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are also able to walk to Don Pedro State Park, where we can then take a boat across to Don Pedro State Park Beach.  Other easy beach alternatives include taking the ferry across the intra-coastal waterway to Palm Island, or driving 3 miles to the Boca Grande causeway.  There are three beaches on Boca Grande island.  The other beach option is Englewood beach which boasts miles of public beach.  Englewood beach is on Manasota Key about 10 minutes from Cape Haze Resort.  Along the way you will find all sorts of beach fun stuff, like water skiing and jet skiing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Placida public fishing pier is also just about 3 miles away, right next to Fisheries, which is one of everyone's favorite restraunts in the Cape Haze - Placida area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cape Haze Resort has all the amenities you could imagine, including on-site tennis courts, basketball courts, a beautiful swimming pool, a putting green complete with sand trap, a state of the art fitness center, and a gorgeous clubhouse.  There are nice cooking grills next to the pool area, and miles of hiking trails in our nature preserve just behind the resort property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For boating enthusiasts, we have our own boat parking lot for guests of Cape Haze Resort, and several marinas within a 10 minute drive.  We have a great tackle shop for the fishermen, and boat rentals at Stump Pass marina.  We have boat launch at Eldred's at the entrance to Boca Grande.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For photos and more information visit &lt;a href="http://www.capehazeresorts.com/"&gt;http://www.capehazeresorts.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34860502-2306327363185869718?l=saylorcruises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saylorcruises.blogspot.com/feeds/2306327363185869718/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34860502&amp;postID=2306327363185869718' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34860502/posts/default/2306327363185869718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34860502/posts/default/2306327363185869718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saylorcruises.blogspot.com/2009/10/cape-haze-vacation-rental-by-owner.html' title='Cape Haze vacation rental by owner'/><author><name>Bob Collett</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12318798002226425273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o6aAj5ijZC0/S23e8Vei9_I/AAAAAAAAAGg/hqUWdZISUWE/S220/IMG00063-20091113-1606.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860502.post-2573083518401133776</id><published>2009-10-02T08:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-02T09:19:11.459-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='florida fishing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='backwater fishing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='englewood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vacation rental by owner'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cape haze resort'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cape haze'/><title type='text'>Cape Haze Resort</title><content type='html'>We have a wonderful new Florida Vacation opportunity for our readers.  We have access to a luxury vacation rental condo at &lt;a href="http://www.capehazeresorts.com/"&gt;Cape Haze Resorts &lt;/a&gt;Florida.  Cape Haze is located about 30 miles south of Sarasota on Lemon Bay.  For those familiar with this beautiful area, Cape Haze Resorts is located between Manesota Key (Englewood, Florida) and Boca Grande Florida. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Florida has certainly been efffected by the recession, but winter rentals in Southwest Florida are as strong as ever.  If you are looking for a deal, you can get a week at Cape Haze Resorts at 50% off the normal rates.  This means you can get a luxurious vacation rental by owner for $375. per week during the month of October 2009.  There are also some weeks available at this rate for November 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Cape Haze condo was built in 2007, and has been newly furnished within the past month.  Every amenity you would expect in a Florida condo is included.  Cape Haze is part of Englewood, Florida.  The condo is just across the street from the Intercoastal Waterway, and only minutes from several beaches.  You can walk to Don Pedro State Park, and from there take a ferry over to the beach.  You can also take the ferry across to Palm Island Resort and have dinner at Rum Bay, or bicycle on Palm Island.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This area has some of the best Tarpon, Redfish and Snook fishing in Florida.  The shallow waters of Charlotte Harbor Estuary, Lemon Bay, Gaspirilla Sound, Pine Island Sound suport dozens of species of game fish year round.  The owner will hook you up with one of the best backwater guides in Florida, who uses all artificial jigs, spoons, and jerk baits.  Imagine catching a 50 pound Tarpon on light tackle!  There is a nice fishing pier just behind Fisheries restaurant, about 3 miles from the Cape Haze Resort condo.  You will also find Eldred's Boat Launce a perfect place to launch your fishing boat.  Cape Haze Resorts guests can park their boat at the resort's boat parking area.  Fishing opportunities abound.

Government taxes/fees, optional air transportation and pre and post cruise vacation packages are additional. Ship registry: Panama&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carnival offers great shore excursions on this crossing. While in Malaga Spain you have several to choose from. One of my favorites is the tour of Marbella and Puerto Banus. Here are some of the highlights.&lt;br /&gt;Visit two of Spain's most prestigious and well known resort towns, experiencing their charm, climate and beautiful landscapes.&lt;br /&gt;On this beautiful excursion you will:&lt;br /&gt;• Board your motor coach and take the panoramic coastal road, for approximately one hour, to Marbella.&lt;br /&gt;• Proceed on foot to the old town where you will see the picturesque narrow streets and houses with typical flowered balconies and many quaint shops.&lt;br /&gt;• View the Plaza de Los Naranjos, one of the most beautiful squares in Spain, along with the City Hall and the Nuestra Senora de la Encarnación church.

C. at Saylor Cruises Cruise Night last month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;·        To avoid last minute anxiety, make a thorough packing list before traveling.&lt;br /&gt;·        Avoid over-packing.  Do not bring things, just because they may come in handy.&lt;br /&gt;·        Pack mix-and-match clothes to help minimize baggage and yet enjoy a variety.&lt;br /&gt;·        Take things that dry quickly, like synthetic fabrics and lightweight cotton.&lt;br /&gt;·        Iron before packing and then roll-don’t fold clothes. &lt;br /&gt;·        Stuff rolled bulky sweaters in pantyhose legs to take up less room.&lt;br /&gt;·        Hang clothes immediately upon arrival to prevent wrinkling.  If clothes do wrinkle, hang them in the bathroom, while taking a shower to steam them.&lt;br /&gt;·        Place liquids, like shampoo and make-up in plastic bags, so they do not ruin clothing.&lt;br /&gt;·        Place shoes in plastic bags.  Also, stuff, socks, underwear, or belts in them.&lt;br /&gt;·        Pack a small lint brush.&lt;br /&gt;·        Bring a day bag like a small backpack.  It can be used as a beach bag for suntan lotion, sunglasses, and reading material or as tour bag to carry maps and shopping souvenirs.&lt;br /&gt;·        Don’t forget a small first-aid kit of aspirin, anti-diarrhea, and cold medications, band-aids and anti-bacteria cream.&lt;br /&gt;·        A security pouch that can be worn concealed is a good idea to carry traveler’s checks, money, passports and other valuables.&lt;br /&gt;·        Keep personal medications and eyeglasses in your carry-on luggage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cruise Vacation Check-List&lt;br /&gt;Swimwear (bathing suit and sandals)&lt;br /&gt;Sunglasses&lt;br /&gt;Sunscreen&lt;br /&gt;Jackets and ties; elegant slacks and blouse or a summer gown for formal dining&lt;br /&gt;Shorts&lt;br /&gt;T-shirts&lt;br /&gt;Short sleeve shirts&lt;br /&gt;Sweater for evening&lt;br /&gt;Comfortable walking shoes and light backpack for exploring ports of call&lt;br /&gt;Pajamas&lt;br /&gt;Underwear, socks, and pantyhose&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34860502-5662880768369278223?l=saylorcruises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saylorcruises.blogspot.com/feeds/5662880768369278223/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34860502&amp;postID=5662880768369278223' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34860502/posts/default/5662880768369278223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34860502/posts/default/5662880768369278223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saylorcruises.blogspot.com/2006/12/cruise-packing-tips.html' title='Cruise Packing Tips'/><author><name>Bob Collett</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12318798002226425273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o6aAj5ijZC0/S23e8Vei9_I/AAAAAAAAAGg/hqUWdZISUWE/S220/IMG00063-20091113-1606.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860502.post-116615201172889096</id><published>2006-12-14T18:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-14T19:06:51.740-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Theme Cruises -</title><content type='html'>The cruise industry has come to realize that to compete for customers today, they need to offer something special.

Every spring, the cruise lines need to move some of their ships from their winter itineraries to their summer locations, and ever fall they move ships from thier summer homes to their winter locations.   Since these long sailings with 9 to 21 days at sea are less popular with the majority of vaction goers, you can save some real bucks by booking one of these repositioning crusises. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who have the time, love cruising, and are looking for a unique add on to their next European vacation... plan the trip home with a repositioning cruise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a couple of repositioning cruises to ask about:  The Carnival Spirit spends the winter in the Mexican Rivera then moves to Alaska via Hawaii in the fall.   The Carnival Liberty spends the summer in the Mediterranean then sails across the Atlantic ocean in the autumn.  Celebiry Constellation moves to Europe (from the Caribbean) in the spring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the best values in cruising for those who enjoy days at sea, repos may cost under $100 per day, sometimes (Windjammer BArefoot Cruises) as little a $50 per day! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not sure if you want to try a repositioning cruise... Here is the checklist to see if you "qualify":&lt;br /&gt;1.  Do you have time for a longer vacation, perhaps 15 to 30 days&lt;br /&gt;2.  Do you love days at sea&lt;br /&gt;3.  Do you want to keep you cost per cruise day to a minimum?&lt;br /&gt;4.  Does the idea of combining a land trip with a cruise appeal to you?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34860502-116601704111423904?l=saylorcruises.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saylorcruises.blogspot.com/feeds/116601704111423904/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34860502&amp;postID=116601704111423904' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34860502/posts/default/116601704111423904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34860502/posts/default/116601704111423904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saylorcruises.blogspot.com/2006/12/repositioning-cruise.html' title='Repositioning Cruise'/><author><name>Bob Collett</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12318798002226425273</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o6aAj5ijZC0/S23e8Vei9_I/AAAAAAAAAGg/hqUWdZISUWE/S220/IMG00063-20091113-1606.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860502.post-115998929734860963</id><published>2006-10-04T12:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-04T12:14:57.363-07:00</updated><title type='text'>There is still time..
