After reviewing cruise listings of VTG for a year, I realized that great deals were available for those who could drop everything and go in a week, a daunting task for a retiree staying in Asia who never cruised before (say bucket list). I missed my 1st attempted booking (2 weeks b-4) when the super deal was pulled while I was emailing details - no international phone service for me. I was consoling myself thinking "next year" when I saw the deal re-listed. This time VTG got on my order & processed it the same day (night for me) twice, as I had to 'reactivate' my USA bank card that had not been used for many months. I got my plane tickets & visa organized the next day myself, and was off to Singapore with my girlfriend for the trip of our life 2 days later! Cruise was great even with a little sea sickness the 1st morning. Will do it again for sure. Complaints? only 1; I waited too long to do it - would be more fun if i wasn't over 60 (if I remember correctly!).
