Cruises of Excellence, a division of Travel Time Inc. and a member of the Ensemble Travel network, has been assisting clients with cruising since 1992.

Heavenly Father, look down on us, your humble obedient tourist servants, who are doomed to travel this earth, taking photographs, mailing postcards, buying souvenirs and walking around in drip-dry underwear. 

We beseech you Lord, to see that our vessel is not attacked by pirates, our luggage is not lost and our overweight baggage goes unnoticed.

Protect us from surly and unscrupulous taxi drivers and of course unlicensed English speaking guides.

Give us divine guidance in the selection of our cruise ships that we many find our reservation honoured, our cabins made up and hot water running from the tap and shower.

We pray that the telephones work and that the operators speak our tongue and that there is no mail waiting from our children which would force us to cancel the rest of our voyage.

Lead us Dear Lord to good, inexpensive restaurants where the food is superb, the waiters are friendly and the wine is included.

Give us the wisdom to tip mercifully in currrencies we do not understand.  Forgive us for under tipping out of ignorance and over tipping out of fear.  Make the natives love us for what we are and not for what we can contribute to their worldy goods.

Grant us the strength to visit the museums, the cathedrals, the palaces and the castles listed as "musts" and if per chance we skip a historic monument to take a nap after lunch, have mercy on us for our flesh is  weak.

FOR THE HUSBANDS: Dear God, keep our wives from shopping sprees and protect them from "bargains" they do not need or I hardly can afford.  Lead them not into temptation, for they know not what they do.

FOR THE WIVES:  Almighty Father, save our husbands from making fools of themselves in cafes and nightclubs, but do not forgive them their trespass, for they know exactly what they are doing.

When our voyage is over and we return to our loved ones, grant us the favour of finding someone who will look at our self made videos and listen to our stories so that our lives as tourists will not have been in vain.

Amen!

"NEW" 7 DAY BERMUDA CRUISE (SUNDAY DEPARTURES) - BEGINNING APRIL 25, 2010

Holland America Line will be the only major cruise line to go to both Hamilton and St George and will be overnighting in both ports. 

• St George -  St. George was founded in 1609 is a UNESCO world heritage site and is the second oldest settlement in North America next to Jamestown. 

• Hamilton - The ms Veendam will essentially be docking at Hamilton’s front door.  Evidently this is quite a navigational feat and something that larger ships cannot perform..  The streets of Hamilton will be closed down to allow only pedestrian traffic and further enhance the wonderful Bermuda experience. 

Love is different things to different people ... but few venues will rival the romance of a Holland America Line Wedding Cruise. 

An onboard Wedding Consultant will handle all the details so that you can relax and indulge and be at your very best for the ceremony ...

- On your own Holland America Private Verandah

- On your own Private Island
