I received the above title email today and a new question. We want to cruise The Nile but how far in advance should a couple in their seventies plan? No problem getting the reservation but you have to prepay or make a substantial down payment.
What if something better comes along? Perhaps George and Amal Clooney will invite us up to their chateau on Lake Como at the last minute because Rande and Cindy had to cancel and Amal had her heart set on some thought-provoking and witty conversation. (I hear George is pure eye candy; nothing up top). It could happen. We would miss the refund deadline and get stuck eating fifteen thousand bucks in unused reservations? A conundrum. Should I book a trip almost 2 years in advance with so many unknown factors?
Maybe, just to be safe, I should give Amal and George a call before booking a cruise. Does anyone have their phone number?
