Cruise lines last week endorsed a "Cruise Passenger Bill of Rights".
CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) said it's members unanimously endorsed a 10-point plan that in a power outage would guarantee the rights of passengers to emergency power, timely information and a trained crew.
Passengers would also be guaranteed the right to leave a ship if essential provisions cannot be provided, but only if the ship is already docked.
The idea for such a bill of rights was first floated by a New York senator in March with his six-point plan. CLIA took the six-point plan and added four more than seem relevant.
This bill of rights seems to demonstrate the commitment of CLIA's cruise line members to be transparent and clear about that passenger right are in the rare event of a mechanical or power failure.
In many cases, cruise lines are already doing what the bill of rights requires... however it will be included in the cruise line's contract of carriage, making it enforceable.
For the full text of CLIA's Cruise Passenger Bill of Rights, send me an email!

Viking Plans to Cruise Mississippi, and...
In 2015, Viking River Cruises plans to bring a version of the Longships to the Mississippi River!
This will challenge the traditional paddlewheel model that has come to define the overnight passenger vessel experience on the largest US waterway. Most leisure cruises on the Mississippi have been offered on paddlewheelers modeled on classic 19th century steamboats. Viking, however, says they see room for a smaller, sleeker, European-style vessel.
Viking also noted that while it is focused on the Mississippi, it will also be looking into other US river systems such as the Pacific Northwest... if the demand justifies it.
I don't know about you, but we're looking forward to seeing Viking here in the US starting in 2015... a great way to experience their wonderful product right here close to home!

AmaWaterways gets more all-inclusive with drinks
AmaWaterways plans to offer complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks to passengers this year with lunch -- a first for the river cruise line.
The California-based company has offered passengers free beer, wine and soda at dinner since its founding in 2002, but until now drinks at lunch always came with an extra charge.
The complimentary drinks will be available on AmaWaterways' entire European fleet with the exception of the Russia-based AmaKatarina and the soon-to-debut, Portugal-based AmaVida.
Scheduled to begin operation on Portugal's Duoro River in March, the 106-passenger AmaVida is one of two new AmaWaterways ships arriving this year. Also new is the 164-passenger AmaPrima, which will debut on April 3 in Amsterdam. The AmaPrima will operate on Europe's Rhine and Danube rivers.
In addition the Duoro, Rhine and Danube, AmaWaterways operates river ships on Europe's Main, Mosel, Seine and Rhône rivers.

Princess Cruises adds more Tahiti, Hawaii sailings
Princess Cruises has added more Tahiti and Hawaii voyages for early 2014 in a change to its previously announced schedule.
The line says the 680-passenger Pacific Princess will offer three additional departures of its 10-night Tahiti & French Polynesia itinerary starting in late February 2014. Also added to the schedule is a 16-night New Zealand & South Pacific sailing from Sydney to Tahiti; a 12-night Hawaii & Tahiti voyage from Tahiti to Honolulu; and a 10-night Hawaii sailing from Honolulu to Vancouver, BC.
The new trips replace elements of the Pacific Princess' previously announced 2014 World Cruise, which is being cancelled.
While the World Cruise won't take place, what had been scheduled as the first segment of the voyage — a 35-night sailing from Ft. Lauderdale to Sydney — will remain available for purchase. The trip includes a transit of the Panama Canal and calls in Ecuador, Peru, Easter Island, French Polynesia and New Zealand.
The three new 16-night Tahiti cruises will include calls in three New Zealand ports — Auckland, Tauranga and the Bay of the Islands — as well as stops at the islands of Pago Pago, Bora Bora and Moorea before arriving in Tahiti.

How Not to Miss the Boat!! - Cruise Tips
Some great tips from Fodor's!
Trust us. You never, ever want to play a game of "catch the cruise ship." That’s when you miss the boat—literally—and are left to decide if you should bag the vacation altogether and head home, or if you should embark on your own version of "The Amazing Race" and try to catch up to the ship at the next port of call. Neither option is appealing so you should vow to never put yourself in that particular predicament.
Let’s start by examining the reasons why travelers miss the boat in the first place. Most often, cruisers miss embarkation because of a travel delay. Other times, individuals misjudge the time allotted in port, aren’t familiar with the region and local traffic, and don’t leave enough time to return to the ship. There are ways to hedge your bets in both cases to make sure you’re never left standing on the dock watching your ship weigh anchor and sail out to sea without you.
Make a Plan That Fits Your Comfort Level
It’s important that you arrive at the cruise terminal with plenty of time to spare before embarkation. The absolute best way to ensure this is to fly in the day before your cruise and stay over at a nearby hotel or motel. This way, even if you experience a major delay—airline issue or trouble on the road—you’ll be in town long before the ship sets sail.
Of course, not everyone wants to give up an extra day or invest in a hotel room for the evening. If you insist on flying out the day of embarkation, be sure to book the first flight of the morning. If you plan to fly in the day of the cruise, consider booking your airfare directly through the cruise line. Then, if there’s an issue, they are obligated to get you to the ship. Sometimes that means the ship is held in port for stragglers, and other times that means the cruise line will rebook you on alternative transportation so you can meet the ship at the second port of call.
Be Prepared
Like we said, fly out on the first plane of the day, and if you have to connect, do so in a major city that offers multiple flights to your destination throughout the day.
Keep all your cruise documents in your carry-on bag, and make sure you’ve got the address of the cruise terminal handy. Pre-book ground transportation so someone is waiting for you when you land at the airport. Alternatively, book ground transportation directly through your cruise line.
If you are running late, call the ship’s port agent so they are aware of the problem. The appropriate contact information can be found in your cruise documents.
It’s also wise to invest in travel insurance. Make sure the policy covers things like trip delays, lost baggage, and trip interruption.
Avoid Travel Delays and Misconnects
When it comes to travel, be an informed consumer. Sign up for automated alerts from your airline so you’ll be the first to know if your flight is delayed. You can also use free third-party services like TripIt that file all of your flight, hotel, car rental, and cruise details and itineraries right in your phone (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or Windows Phone 7) or iPad. The upgraded (aka paid version of) TripIt Pro app instantly alerts you to flight delays, cancellations, and gate changes. It can also help you find alternative flights so if you have to rebook, you can tell the airline representative what would work best for you.
Know Your Options
Be your own advocate, and know what alternative flights will get you to your cruise port on time. If your airline has a mechanical issue, for example, ask them to "protect" you on another flight—even if that means putting you on a competing airline. Research all potential flights in advance, and carry that list of options with you. Hopefully you’ll never need to refer to the list, but it will be incredibly helpful if your original flight is cancelled.
If you do have to rebook while at the airport, don’t wait in the long line with everyone else. Call the airline’s toll-free number for faster service. If you have access to the airline’s elite lounge, you can head there and have an agent assist you in person.
Know When to Fold ’Em
Sometimes a vacation is just doomed from the get-go. People in the hospitality business call that a "trip in vain." It’s when, despite your best efforts, everything goes wrong. There’s a crash on the highway so your car service can’t get you to the airport on time. You miss your initial flight and are rebooked on a second flight, which then is delayed due to weather issues. You finally get to your destination only to find that your bags were misdirected and are at a different airport altogether, and your cruise ship has already sailed.
If you’re ever in that situation, you’ll need to determine if you’re going to try to catch the ship at the next port or head home. Your decision will hinge on a few things. For example, did you book your airfare directly through the cruise line? If so, the onus is on them to get you to the ship. If you booked transportation on your own, it’s up to you. What’s the next port of call? Is it an easy to reach destination or a far-off island with no airport? Did you purchase an insurance policy? Will you get a refund if you return home without ever setting foot on the cruise ship, or will you lose out on the fare you paid?
As you can see, it’s just so much easier if you’re never in this situation to begin with! Follow our tips and you’ll get to your cruise ship on time—every time. Bon voyage!

Places I Have Not Been
I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart!
And, sometimes I think I am in Vincible but life shows me I am not!
