		<description><![CDATA[For most of us the opportunity to take a "vacation" comes once a year or even twice. You pack your family and the dog into Ye Olde Faithful and do the routine run to Des Moines or Wichita or Whatever! The destinations may differ from year to year, but the "vacation" comes with the standard features: motels all booked up, Junior realizes he wanted to go to summer camp after all, Baby's got the runs, and Suzie is crying over her first pimple! But sometimes, grudgingly rare sometimes, you want something special, really special. You got the directorship over Bill Grady, or maybe Helena has come back to you. Whatever the reason, you don't want to take a "vacation". You want a vacation, the genuine article, the real thing! OK, this is when you listen to that little voice in your head whispering with all the force of a Chinese-made 2 billion watt PMPO handheld MP3 player: "Cruise! Cruise!" You decide it can't be Tom, so you book yourself and the family (Ruff can stay with Mrs. Doherty) onto a fabulous magical vacation aboard the cruise ship "Mirabile Dictu". You don't know what it means but you also know that the father-in-law won't either!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most of us the opportunity to take a \&#8221;vacation\&#8221; comes once a year or even twice. You pack your family and the dog into Ye Olde Faithful and do the routine run to Des Moines or Wichita or Whatever! The destinations may differ from year to year, but the \&#8221;vacation\&#8221; comes with the standard features: motels all booked up, Junior realizes he wanted to go to summer camp after all, Baby\&#8217;s got the runs, and Suzie is crying over her first pimple! But sometimes, grudgingly rare sometimes, you want something special, really special. You got the directorship over Bill Grady, or maybe Helena has come back to you. Whatever the reason, you don\&#8217;t want to take a \&#8221;vacation\&#8221;. You want a vacation, the genuine article, the real thing! OK, this is when you listen to that little voice in your head whispering with all the force of a Chinese-made 2 billion watt PMPO handheld MP3 player: \&#8221;Cruise! Cruise!\&#8221; You decide it can\&#8217;t be Tom, so you book yourself and the family (Ruff can stay with Mrs. Doherty) onto a fabulous magical vacation aboard the cruise ship \&#8221;Mirabile Dictu\&#8221;. You don\&#8217;t know what it means but you also know that the father-in-law won\&#8217;t either!</p>
<p>The first thing to bring a smile back to your face is the fact that you get a package deal from start to finish. One figure takes care of all the nitty-gritty. There will be exceptions that can only be expected, like drinks or off-board sight-seeing trips, things like that, but in the main, everything is covered by a single amount which is presented to you upfront, not in bits and pieces during the vacation.</p>
<p>The cruise ship is a luxury liner with every facility on board for your enjoyment. The rooms are all well-appointed, with extremely courteous and efficient room-service. There is a party atmosphere on most of these cruises because that is what you want, don\&#8217;t you? Merriment, relaxation, recreation, rest, entertainment and a feeling of having left it all behind (your troubles, that is). The scenic beauty of the balmy ocean, the fantastic breeze playing through your hair, and the thought of Bill Grady doing the annual reports makes it feel a little bit like heaven.</p>
<p>You have so many avenues of amusement, entertainment or just plain ol\&#8217; fashioned relaxation open to you! Swimming pools, covered promenades, courts for games like shuffleboard and squash, reading rooms, beauty salons, spas, gyms, you name it and a courteous attendant will direct you to it. All these facilities are of the highest standard, and nothing short of luxurious. The evening entertainment is usually in the form of events performed on a grand scale by professional troupes. Some of the special guest artistes are specially flown in every day for the evening\&#8217;s entertainment. After all, they\&#8217;re called luxury cruise ships!</p>
<p>If you have children, you need not be concerned about how they\&#8217;ll entertain themselves. Trained staff is on hand to take care of them for you, if you two want to catch up on your close dancing at \&#8221;The Club\&#8221;, or if you want to whisper sweet-nothings on the promenade deck \&#8217;neath the silver moon! For bigger children there are so many activities crafted for all tastes and talents that every child will be thoroughly entertained and occupied at the same time. </p>
<p>Let\&#8217;s talk money. You\&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised that contrary to general opinion, these cruises do not require you to have an oil well in Texas to afford one! The cruise operators design the whole cruise in a very professional manner, taking the advice of financial and business experts. So they have \&#8221;packages\&#8221; or \&#8221;plans\&#8221; which are designed to suit every budget. The packages vary in two different aspects: tour duration, and accommodation. A three-day cruise will be appreciably cheaper than a fortnighter. Similarly, an interior room will be less expensive than a stateroom. Just to put things in perspective, a \&#8217;small\&#8217; room on one of these cruise ships is as large as a large hotel room, so you\&#8217;re not exactly going to get cramps in that \&#8217;small\&#8217; room!</p>
<p>Cruise ships have specialists who design activities and entertainment for all age groups and tastes, from chess tourneys to squash matches. Book yourself onto a cruise ship for your next vacation and enjoy the vacation of a lifetime!</p>
<p>You surely want the finest cruise at the cheapest possible cost.
