For those of you purchasing your air tickets online, be aware that Delta just changed the rules on "Comfort Class". There are 2 now. Comfort Basic and Comfort Classic. Comfort Basic does not allow you to pick seats until you check in. So, if you want assigned seats you need to buy Comfort Classic. Naturally it's more expensive. Way to go Delta Air Lines, nothing like confusing everybody.

My clients got to watch the Eclipse in Iceland aboard Azamara Journey today. What an experience!

Just a warning. I have 3 clients who are supposed to board Azamara Journey in Iceland on 8-8. They left yesterday and are stuck in Minneapolis until SUNDAY night!!! There are no seats before then and Delta is no help. They bought new tickets on Iceland Air for Sunday because Delta was not going to fly them until Monday. Now I have to see if they can board on Monday instead of Sunday. Allow plenty of time to get to your cruise. Anything can happen.

Update: They are booked on Westjet now with a connection, but at least they're getting in tomorrow before the ship leaves.

Have you ever visited Ephesus? It’s one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world. Beyond the iconic Library of Celsus, you’ll discover the beautifully preserved Terrace Houses, the House of the Virgin Mary, the magnificent Great Theatre, and the legendary Temple of Artemis. It’s an unforgettable experience. We’d be delighted to help you plan the perfect trip and make the most of your visit.

If you enjoy cruising with your family as much as we do, you'll love Azamara. Their smaller ships create a more personal experience, and the crew goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. After your very first cruise, it won't feel like you're traveling with strangers—it will feel like you're part of the Azamara family.

Sometimes, it's as simple as being greeted with a smile, remembering your favorite drink, or sharing a quick laugh across the bar.

The little moments have a way of becoming the ones you remember most.
