The Gatwick Incident, 1966
London. 20th July, 1966
On the morning of July 20th, 1966 flight 729 returned from Madrid to Gatwick airport, only to be forced to abort its attempted landing due to an obstruction on the intersections of runways five and two. The pilot reported the presence of a police box on the runway, prompting air traffic control to dispatch police. Police chased away four strangers, and the police box was collected from the runway. Control initially believed it to be the product of a practical joke. If only they knew what they were in for that day…
If you were a student in 1966 looking for a cheap gap year, Chameleon Tours were your best budget option. For just £28, Chameleon Tours offered people between the ages of 18-25 a package holiday to any one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe: Zurich, Rome, Athens, Dubrovnik, and Freiburg, Madrid, and Baden-Württemberg. It was a popular choice, with 50000 young people taking to Europe from Gatwick via Chameleon Tours, who operated four of their own planes from the airport.
Fifty-thousand young adults left Gatwick for various European flights, and not a single one returned. One of those people was Ryan Briggs, who took a Chameleon Tours flight to Rome. Everything seemed normal to his family at first. Ryan caught his flight, and sent back a hand-written postcard shortly after arriving. However, that was the last the Briggs family heard from Ryan for some time. His sister, Samantha Briggs, implored the authorities for help, but was unable to get anywhere with them. She contacted the hotel at which Ryan was supposed to be staying, only to find he had never checked in. Police in Rome found no trace of a Ryan Briggs, and neither did Rome's international airport. Inspector Gascoigne was the first to take Samantha's worries seriously and, on the 20th of July, arrived at Gatwick to investigate. While airport security was dealing with the matter of a police box and four trespassers, Gascoigne was investigating the private Chameleon Tours hangar. That is where his corpse was later found, his clothes singed as though he somehow died by electrocution.
A police box on a runway, a missing young man, and a murdered police officer. You would think things were already as strange as they were going to get, but you'd be wrong. Two people arrived at Immigration and Customs attempting to report a dead body. They arrived with no passports, despite coming from the arrivals gate. One was a scruffy-looking gentleman in a frock coat and the other a boy with a Scots accent wearing a kilt. When interviewed by journalist James Stevens, Samantha Briggs would describe the scruffy-looking man's accent as "blurred," and referred to him as "a short man with a mournful face and dishevelled clothing." He seemed to her to be "incredibly well informed." Everyone seemed to call the man "Doctor," as though it were more of a name than a title. The Scots boy wearing the kilt went by the more conventional name of Jamie. Curiously, a white-haired man also calling himself "Doctor" was present with Sir Charles Summer in South Kensington at the time, seemingly involved with the on-going War Machine threat caused by the activation of WOTAN.
The airport manager, Charles Gordon, was called to satisfy the Doctor's demands to see a figure of authority about the body, and escorted the mystery man and Jamie to the Chameleon Tours hanger, where they found nothing more than a crate of plastic cups. Unamused by the Doctor's claims, Gordon tried to have trespassers arrested, only for them to escape.
It was around this time that Samantha Briggs arrived at the Chameleon Tours kiosk to make enquiries about her missing brother Ryan Briggs. She found the representitive entirely unhelpful but ended up meeting with Jamie, who promised that he had a friend who might know how to help her, and mysteriously asked that they meet later. It was Samantha that made an important discovery in the case of the missing passengers - Chameleon Tours had their customers fill out postcards before leaving on their flight. The postcards were collected at the kiosk, sent out to Chameleon Tours facilities at the country the flights were supposed to go to, and then posted back by Chameleon Tours to the families in the UK as if from the passengers. Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Crossland arrived in search of his missing collegue: Detective Gasgoigne.
Inspector Crossland was able to convince Charles Gordon to humour the Doctor further, and it appears some members of Gatwick staff were starting to come around as it was the manager's assistant Jean Rock who made the next key discovery. Having called around the various international airports to which Chameleon Tours were chartering flights, she discovered that Chameleon Tours only ever picked up passengers but never dropped them off. It was as though the passengers disappeared mid-flight.
Gatwick usually only monitors flights for around fifty miles before they drop off the radar, otherwise they would have too much traffic to monitor. It was not unusual that Chameleon Tours flights disappeared from their radars after fifty miles, as they simply weren't looking that far. Manager Gordon could not have expected to see what he did when he requested the RAF to tail the 1530 to Rome, however. As the Chameleon Tours flight to Rome reached the edge of expanded radar range, the RAF jet was seen to go completely out of control and crash into the sea, disappearing from radar. The Chameleon Tours flight then appeared to stop moving, something that could only indicate that it was dropping straight down. The plane then disappeared off radar.
The initial assumption was that the two aircraft had collided, dropping into the ocean. When rescue services found the wreckage, however, there was only wreckage of the RAF fighter jet and no sign of the 1530 to Rome. The pilot was found electrocuted in his seat. So where did the Chameleon Tours flight go? Where do all the Chameleon Tours flights go? Perhaps the plane did not drop out of the sky, but instead shot directly upwards beyond the scope of radar, into space. Maybe that sounds farfetched, but how else do you explain an aeroplane hovering in the same spot on radar but without leaving wreckage in the sea below? Admittedly, many wrecks are lost at sea, but then how do you reconcile the fact that the RAF flight, which went down at the same time, was found while the Chameleon Tours flight was not?
Let's break down what was happening. Chameleon Tours planes would leave from Gatwick carrying a cabin filled with young people. They would fly fifty miles out of the UK and disappear. The flight would then return without passengers. Postcards from the passengers, filled out before the flight, would be sent to the plane's supposed destination and then posted back to the UK to make it appear as if the passengers arrived safely. But to what end?
The reports of DI Crossland simply refer to "holiday fraud," and while there are no police reports regarding the recovery of the fifty-thousand missing people, they started to turn up on delayed flights for the rest of the evening, trickling back into society as if they hadn't gone missing at all. Twenty-five members of staff at Gatwick airport recall waking up lying on the concrete in the carpark, missing hours of time with no recollection of how they got there.
Some theorise that Chameleon Tours were a cover for a human trafficking ring and even though they were busted the whole thing was covered up so London's second biggest international airport could save face. Others theorise that it was a money laundering front involving simply moving the same group of people around to make the company look busier than it really was. More outlandish theories include Chameleon Tours being a result of C-Day and the computer WOTAN trying to wipe out humanity, a system of alien abductions replacing people with shapeshifting duplicates, and a government test of international security where they abducted real people and wiped their memories before returning them later.
Whatever the truth was behind Chameleon Tours, there are plenty of witnesses to the presence of "the Doctor" and it features one of the most convincing blue box sightings in history as it comes from a pilot.

Reasons Why the Travel SEO Service Industry Differs from Others
The travel industry is one of the most dynamic and competitive sectors, with millions of travelers searching for flights, accommodations, and experiences online every day. As a result, businesses in this sector must prioritize SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to stay relevant. However, travel SEO service providers face unique challenges that set them apart from other industries. In this blog, we’ll explore why the travel SEO service industry differs from others and what makes it a specialized field.
High Competition for Keywords
One of the main reasons travel website SEO differs from other industries is the intense competition for keywords. Common search terms like "cheap flights," "best hotels," and "tour packages" are incredibly competitive, making it challenging for travel businesses to rank for high-volume keywords. Unlike niche markets where long-tail keywords may have low competition, the travel industry requires strategic keyword targeting and optimization to gain visibility on search engine results pages (SERPs).
Furthermore, travel companies must balance their SEO strategy between targeting global audiences and focusing on local SEO. This is because travelers search for both broad terms like "European vacations" and specific phrases such as "budget hotels in Paris." Effective travel SEO must include both local and global keyword strategies, which adds complexity to the SEO efforts of travel businesses.
Frequent Algorithm Updates Impacting Travel Websites
Search engines, particularly Google, are constantly updating their algorithms. These updates often have a significant impact on travel websites, as the industry relies heavily on organic traffic for bookings. SEO agencies that offer travel SEO services must stay up-to-date with the latest algorithm changes, such as Google’s emphasis on mobile-first indexing or updates that prioritize user experience, site speed, and mobile responsiveness.
For example, travel websites tend to have image-heavy pages (like galleries of vacation spots) and complex booking systems. Without proper optimization for speed and user experience, even the best content may fail to rank. Therefore, travel-specific SEO requires constant monitoring and adaptation to ensure travel businesses don’t lose visibility.
Seasonality and Consumer Behavior
Travel is an industry that’s highly seasonal, which directly affects the approach to travel agency SEO. Seasonal peaks (e.g., summer vacations, holiday travel) create periods of high demand, while off-peak seasons see reduced traffic. SEO campaigns in this industry must be timed to match these fluctuations. For example, travel SEO experts often ramp up efforts before the summer vacation period, targeting specific keywords related to popular destinations, deals, and offers.
Additionally, consumer behavior in the travel industry differs from that in other sectors. People typically spend more time researching and comparing travel options before making a booking. As a result, travel SEO must account for the entire customer journey, from initial interest in a destination to final booking. This requires creating content that caters to various stages of the buyer’s journey, such as blog posts, guides, and reviews, as well as ensuring that landing pages are optimized for conversions.
The Importance of Local SEO in Travel
Local SEO plays a crucial role in the travel industry, especially for businesses like hotels, tours, and attractions that rely on geographic-specific traffic. Travelers often search for terms like “best hotels near me” or “top-rated restaurants in [city].” Optimizing a website for these location-based queries is essential for ranking in local search results.
SEO agencies specializing in travel must focus on optimizing Google My Business profiles, collecting local reviews, and building citations to improve visibility in local searches. For other industries, local SEO might be optional or secondary, but in the travel sector, it is critical to success.
Conclusion
The travel SEO service industry is unique due to the high level of competition, the impact of algorithm updates, seasonality, and the need for a strong local SEO presence. Travel businesses require specialized strategies to address these challenges, and those that invest in tailored SEO efforts can reap significant rewards in terms of visibility and bookings. By understanding the distinct aspects of travel SEO, businesses can develop a more effective strategy to attract and convert potential customers.

Whether you're visiting Denmark as part of a larger Europe trip or diving into a curated Europe tour package some tips to help you save money and still have an amazing experience.

🚋 2. Use Public Transportation
Denmark’s public transport system is top-notch! From buses and trains to the metro, you can get around cities like Copenhagen affordably. Even better, get yourself a Eurail Pass if Denmark is just one stop on your European tour, and explore the country and neighboring nations on a budget.
🚶♂️ 3. Free Attractions Are Everywhere
Why spend money when there are plenty of free things to see? Take a stroll around Nyhavn, visit the iconic Little Mermaid, or check out Copenhagen’s vibrant Freetown Christiania. Don’t forget to explore the parks and gardens—they’re free, beautiful, and perfect for picnics!
🍴 4. Eat Like a Local
Sure, Denmark is home to world-class restaurants, but you don’t have to dine out every night. Grab some fresh groceries from local supermarkets or hit up street food markets for cheap yet delicious meals. Try Danish hot dogs or the famous smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) for a quick bite that won’t hurt your wallet.

When in Denmark, do as the Danes do—bike! Renting a bike is affordable, eco-friendly, and gives you the freedom to explore hidden spots. Copenhagen, in particular, is a cyclist’s paradise. Some hotels even offer free bike rentals, so be sure to ask!
🏨 6. Stay in Budget Accommodations
Hostels, Airbnbs, or even Couchsurfing can significantly reduce your accommodation costs. If you’re booking through Europe tour packages, look for those that include accommodation to bundle your costs efficiently. Alternatively, stay outside of city centers for cheaper rates and use public transport to get around.

🎟️ 7. Get a City Pass
Planning to visit lots of attractions? Invest in the Copenhagen Card. It gives you free entry to over 80 attractions and includes public transportation—perfect for maximizing your stay without overspending!
✈️ 8. Book Flights Smart

Suggested Blogs: Best Things to Do in Switzerland

I grew up in a tiny farm town. Said town is now being eaten by urban sprawl. When I was a kid you could walk for an hour in any direction from the town and find creeks and thickets and wild fields to explore. Then every summer we went camping 2 or 3 times a summer because camping was cheap enough poor people could afford it. We ran wild as kids, an there were snakes and bears and deer, and we were told what to do if we saw one. I now am disabled and live in a tourist town, and all the nature is package tours and expensive. I just want to go lie in the middle of a field when the weather is 80 degrees, I have memories, but I feel so bad for the kids who won't have them because adults decided to wreck everything.
I agree with the idea that a lot of humans nowadays have a severe lack of curiosity about the world, but I think there has to be a solution other than shame.
I think about this every day because the fate of our world hangs on curiosity: either we will rediscover the importance and wonders of the soil and bugs and flowers and water and finally with the whole natural world, or this way will be forgotten.
People raised in the great wasteland of the suburbs and roads and buildings have never seen most of the plants and creatures that are supposed to fill every field and meadow. So many humans have never seen with their own eyes more than a scant few of the most common of hundreds of wildflowers that are supposed to surround them. Some live in biomes designated forest and have never witnessed truly mature trees. They do not know what the birds sound like. When they see an ordinary deer, they are awed and amazed by it or even afraid of it. They have never eaten any of the delicious wild fruits that grow in their homeland; all birds except starlings and robins and sparrows are so strange and beautiful that they stare in wonder. They confront insects like people on an alien planet encountering an unknown life form: What is this? Will it hurt me?
I cannot even describe the grief I feel on behalf of humans that grow up and live in the wasteland of pavement and lawn. That we are expected to live in these brutal environments, that we are expected to be content without the right or ability to live alongside living creatures, to walk among wildflowers, to hear birdsong, to feel the plush softness of moss, to see even common bees and butterflies—the fact that we live, work, and raise our children in poisonous wastes where nearly everything has been wiped out, and the simplest and most abundant of natural pleasures are rare privileges—it's cruel. It's a crime against the human spirit. It makes me so angry and sad.
When I started researching plants, I had no idea that I would end up expanding my mind so much that I would be virtually a different person within the year. Before I learned, I could not have imagined the diversity and beauty that exists in the world. My mind did not have the tools to come up with it.
I lived for over twenty years believing that there was only one species of firefly. I lived for over twenty years not knowing that the Southeastern US has native bamboo. I had never tasted the indescribable flavor of a pawpaw or seen the iridescent vibrance of a red-spotted purple butterfly. I had only seen a Pileated Woodpecker out the window of a car. I had never touched true topsoil, the soft, living blanket of rich, sweet-smelling earth full of mycelium, as springy and plush as a mattress. Just one year ago, I knew nothing!
Humans, as creatures, are insatiably curious and hunger for beauty. It is so cruel to deprive a human of relationship with their natural environment.
It is no wonder that we are all addicted to the internet—we have a crucial need that is unfulfilled. Compared with a forest, the world of lawns and buildings is so ridiculously flat and unstimulating. You would expect humans in such a place to feel constantly bored, restless, frustrated, and incurably sad.
I feel that lack of curiosity can be a chosen thing, but it is also a defense mechanism against a world that will feel like sandpaper on the senses of the curious.
But we need curiosity to fix this—we need the ability to notice the living things that have crept in at the edges of the wasteland and be infected and tormented by their beauty. We need to recognize the forest reaching into our cage in the form of tiny saplings. We need to discard the word "weed," not because it is derogatory because it is fundamentally incurious—it designates a plant as needing no identity outside of its unwantedness. We must learn their names. We must wonder what their names are.

One of the bare handful of countries I've ever been to outside of America(there was a tour package offered by some group or agency that had a deal with my college one summer that was absurdly cheap, and me and some friends decided that this was our chance to see the world, as it were) and it was by and large a very nice place. Everyone was friendly, Sofia was utterly gorgeous, and it only took me three tries to find a cabbie who offered me a rate that wasn't a scam(the tour guide went the extra mile and told us the proper rates to get back to the hotel whenever we were away from the buses for awhile, because she knew they'd peg us as tourists and try to charge us double what they ought to have). My cabbie drove like he had a personal vendetta against everyone else on the road, but then, that's how they all drove too. They don't deserve their current political chaos, and I hope they're able to form a government without the involvement of the pro-Russian socialists or nationalists.
Bulgaria is the poorest EU member but still is richer than most countries of the world in GDP nominal per capita terms

How Much Does a Disney Cruise Cost in 2023?
https://lifesporttravel.com/?p=1683 How Much Does a Disney Cruise Cost in 2023? - https://lifesporttravel.com/?p=1683 Before you begin planning your @DisneyParks cruise, you need to make sure you budget accordingly. The cost of a Disney cruise is not cheap when compared to other family-friendly cruise lines. To help families preparing to experience some Disney magic at sea, we put together this video detailing how much a Disney Cruise costs in 2023. DISNEY CRUISE COSTS 0:00 Introduction 1:10 What’s Included in a Disney Cruise? 2:25 Factors Affecting Cruise Costs 3:50 Cruise Cost by Ship 5:36 Disney Cruise Costs by Destination 7:25 Disney Cruise Costs by Cabin Type 9:20 What Costs Extra on a Disney Cruise? 9:33 Shore Excursions 10:35 Internet Packages 10:58 Cruise Gratuities 11:38 Premium Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Drinks 12:14 Specialty Dining 12:55 Souvenirs 13:28 Arcade 13:55 Spa and Salon 14:28 Exclusive Onboard Experiences 16:20 Disney Cruise Discounts 17:08 The Verdict HOW MUCH DOES A DISNEY CRUISE COST When looking at prices for a Disney cruise, there are several different factors you need to consider. The main determinate of the overall price of a Disney cruise will be the cruise ship cabin category. Interior rooms will be the least expensive, whereas concierge level and suites will be the most expensive. Disney Cruise Line consists of only 5 ships. However, it is generally true that newer ships are more expensive. Further, the region in which the ships are sailing and the time of year will impact the total costs of your trip. How much a Disney cruise costs will definitely vary depending on the destination. Sought after locales, like Alaska or Hawaii, will be more expensive than the Bahamas or Caribbean. Certain times of year like the summer and school vacations are also considerably more expensive. Once onboard the ship, the Disney cruise fare includes most food, non-alcoholic beverages, entertainment, and onboard activities. However, the price of a Disney cruise doesn’t include everything. Additional costs include specialty dining, shopping, and alcoholic beverages. Further, Disney Cruise Line does NOT offer drink packages like most other cruise lines. Of course, Disney cruise ships also have spas and salons that cost extra as well as makeovers at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for the little ones. Not to mention, there are other upcharges like shore excursions and cruise gratuities. When determining the total Disney cruise cost, you will need to also allocate funds for transportation to and from the cruise port. Flights and hotel stays will also increase the costs of the overall trip. Therefore, for a week long cruise, for a family of 4, we suggest budgeting $10,000 for a Disney Cruise. Yes, it can be done cheaper, but if you want to experience a little of everything, this is a pretty reasonable estimate.

They are for children who are six months to 35 months are reduced even further unfortunately When it comes to pricing children aged 13 to 17 are considered adults up to five people can share One stateroom depending on the category there's also the option to book connecting staterooms Typically the cruise fare is about 50 percent cheaper for that third and fourth passenger if They're under 12. but those passengers still need to pay the full amount of port fees and taxes Which can still be a couple hundred dollars per person Cruise Line only consists of five ships but Still a good rule of thumb to know is that newer ships for any Cruise Line with the shiniest bells And whistles also tends to be the most expensive to book of course this is because they're brand New and there's higher demand prices should taper from there with older ships in the fleet typically Displaying the most reasonable affairs ships in the same class should reflect similar pricing Depending on where they're actually deployed even with that in mind all of Disney ships Are immaculately maintained and prices vary slightly based on the age of the ship and due To the smaller Fleet they typically have one ship or at most two ships in one particular Region so if you're thinking of taking a Disney cruise choosing a ship will probably come down to Where you're looking to sail though each vessel has its own special design touches and exclusive Venues which keeps guests coming back for more sailings on various ships for example the brand New Disney wish is currently the only ship with a dinner theater based on the hit franchise Frozen This increase line currently operates Disney Magic which was built in 1998 and Disney Wonder which Was built in 1999. there's also the Disney Dream which was built in 2011 and Disney Fantasy which Was built in 2012 and the brand new Disney wish which launched in 2022. searching for a four night Bahamas cruise four people in September during the Halloween the high seas entry-level State rooms On Disney wish were about 270 dollars per person per night now a similar sailing on Disney Magic Which is over 20 years old was around 182 dollars per person per night which is a 30 difference and These are entry-level State rooms if you want to upgrade to something like an ocean view Veranda Or concierge Suites that will certainly cost you more money there are two major costs associated Considerations when booking at Disney Cruise based on the destination these include the Ports you'll be selling to including the length of the cruise and the port you'll be departing from For example Alaska is one of the most coveted and therefore pricey for assassinations however if Your family lives on the west coast and can easily jump to Vancouver British Columbia Transportation Won't be as big of a hassle of course the same holds true for families in Florida Port Canaveral Is the ultimate Disney Home Port just miles from Walt Disney World in Orlando so Cruisers within Driving distance can cut costs by choosing a port that doesn't evolve long-haul airfare The Caribbean is one of the most in-demand Cruise itineraries but there's plenty of competition in Those Waters thus Cruise fares remain relatively steady with plenty of options for three and Four night cruises on the same token a European adventure with the whole crew might just be the Ticket though you'll have to likely shout out more for transatlantic plane tickets to Ports Like Barcelona plus these ceilings are usually a week or more at Sea which means more money down It's important to keep the entire door-to-door experience in mind when considering the overall Cost of your Disney Cruise some destinations have limited availability and therefore you should Build as far in advance as possible some Cruise Lines offer closeout deals however the Disney Cruise crowd is usually one for advanced planning leaving little last minute availability on unusual Itineraries with only a few sale dates like Hawaii 10 nights one way from Honolulu is 190 per person Per night for a family of four the same one-way Hawaiian Adventure from Vancouver jumps to 328 Dollars per person per night as you've already seen one of the most obvious price disparities When booking a Disney cruise is between an inside cabin and a suite choosing your cabin type is one Of the most important and sometimes complicated decisions when booking any sailing and considering The cost luckily DCL is nothing if not family oriented so even entry-level accommodations Comma quote amenities like a privacy current that separates sleeping from living areas Some rooms even feature a magical portal that displays video images of the ocean And Disney characters at the ocean view level and above a half bath with a toilet expedites Getting ready in the morning and bathtub is a wonderful touch for those who have little kids Dcl's General cabin categories include inside Ocean View Miranda and concierge the most Notable difference is the inclusion of a window or balcony at the concierge level the fares might be Higher but rooms come with more perks these perks include premium bedding free Wi-Fi reservations At specialty restaurants and a dedicated Lounge on the same one week Western crewing Crews from Miami On board Disney Dream an inside cabin has a price tag of over six thousand dollars for a family of Four the concierge level was more than double that at over thirteen thousand dollars however The price difference quoted between an inside and Ocean View room was just under 127 dollars total Remember that four night Halloween in the high seas Bahamas cruise on Disney Magic well to go From an inside cabin to a balcony would be 218 per person per night or roughly a 20 increase Now if that family of four really wanted to splurge and get a concierge Suite on the brand New Disney wish for the same fortnite Halloween on the high seas cruise they'd be paying over fifteen Hundred dollars per person per night which is over five times as high as the entry-level Cruiser now While the crews will include your accommodations most dining and entertainment there are several Additional costs you need to budget for the most expensive element of any Disney Cruise vacation Apart from the cruise fair is probably what you'll do in each destination which Disney Cruise Line Refers to as Port Adventures or if you Cruise you know them as shore excursions short three-night Getaways at Disney's private island of Castaway Key might help reduce additional charges as you're Able to enjoy many of the amenities in that Port included in the cruise Fair but longer wow worthy Family vacations to Alaska Europe or Mexico mean multiple port calls and multiple opportunities to Book shore excursions Disney shore excursions are highly rated so the experience is not in question However they can certainly add up for a family of four in Jamaica a beach and water adventure Is quoted on dcl's website as 109 for anyone age 10 and up 99 for kids six to nine that's A potential of 436 dollars for one day of Fun in the Sun but for most ports you can save money into Shore excursions by booking through independent tour providers you can check third party websites Or book directly with the tour providers that often get a cheaper rate and a more authentic tour While basic Wi-Fi is included at the concierge level most other passengers dealing with social Media addicted teens and iPad Reliant younger ones will need to pay for an internet package packages Range from 12 to 36 dollars per day per device yet even the top tier package won't support certain Streaming services Cruisers can make calls and tax over Wi-Fi but a regular phone call is additional A recommended gratuity of 14.50 per guest per night or 15.50 for guests and Suites is added To each Cruise fare including infants for our family of four that equates to additional 58 per Night of your cruise this automatic gratuity is designed to support the wait staff in the dining Room and your stateroom attendant amounts can be changed by visiting Guest Services on board However this is highly discouraged unless there's significant service issues additional tips to any Crew members who made your cruise outstanding are always welcome but at your own discretion Disney has you covered when it comes to soda during meals in the teen club or from O'Fallon Though any alcoholic beverages as well as smoothies bottled water and other premium drinks The little ones comes at an added price a cruise line is unusual in the sense that it doesn't offer Traditional all-inclusive drink packages still adults 21 years and over it can purchase bundles Of wine Free bottles for about 95 dollars or six beers for the price of five any drink of The day costs under seven dollars and Cocktails on the ship usually hover around 10 to 12 dollars While the unique rotating lineup of included main dining rooms is unique to Disney Cruise Line there Are restaurants that incur an additional charge these are referred to as specialty dining Remy An upscale French restaurant named after the rat gifted with culinary arts and rat tattooi carries A hefty cover of a hundred and twenty five dollars per person so 250 for a couple not including any Drinks the venues for adults only and available on Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy other adults Only at a few restaurants on board Disney ships are Apollo a Wonder magic dream fantasy And Disney wish and on Shantae on wish inspired by the Beauty and the Beast film Did a Disney cruise even happen if there isn't a character photo packages are just one of the many Additional charges you might rack up once on board the ship Disney's also a master merchandising Everything from glowing Lawns and plushies to clothing depicting the latest film characters Are also sold in shops admittedly even us big kids here couldn't resist buying a Disney Cruise Line T-shirt or two as well as some ornaments and other souvenirs so our advice is to set a budget with The expectation that there'll be some additional treats and surprises to account for along the way Some Disney cruise ships do have arcades and all it takes is a swipe of your cruise card or a top Of your band and your kids could rack up quite a bit TCL allows spending limits to be set on Board accounts for all children so don't let Miss Pac-Man eat through your entire vacation budget All Disney ships have a dedicated adults-only pool and Lounge which is completely free And allows mature travelers to unwind if you're looking for more relaxation such as a Swedish Massage facial blowout or mani pedi there is a spa that comes with a price tag the census Bond Salon has a full menu of treatments for weary caregivers our favorite part is access to the Luxurious thermal Suite with aromatherapy steam room sauna and loungers it wouldn't be Disney Without something for the kids so the Chill Spot is a dedicated self-care space for teams 13 to 17 years old with tailor-made treatments like an acne attack facial for 94 dollars And then there's some exclusive Disney Cruise Line experiences aimed right at the little ones Expensive and typically sold out before boarding the Royal Court tea is a coveted event on board Disney cruise ships if you're a prince or princess is set on attending this elaborate afternoon tea Book way in advance also be prepared to spend two hundred and twenty dollars per child and 69 per adult one adult is required to accompany a child so it's a minimum of 289 dollars note that Teens 13 to 17 May attend for the Adele prize do not receive any special gifts like those who are Ages 3 to 12. planning to make a family event a mission for two kids and two adults will run you 578 dollars at those prices you could easily put down a deposit for another cruise and then there's The Bibby Bobby Boutique here's the opportunity for a child to receive a makeover transforming Them into their favorite pirate or princess and it certainly makes the evening a little more special These packages are available at the fleet-wide onboard Peak which is styled after Cinderella and Unfortunately they're not cheap they range from sixty dollars for a pirate makeup and accessories To a staggering 450 dollars which comes with the Keepsake Crystal Tiara in a box and a custom gown In addition to hair styling makeup nail polish and more think your kids won't be interested They might not be until they see all the other Junior Cruisers sporting glitter and eye patches Prepare yourself for the inevitable ask or be smart and pack your own costumes from home Snagged at a discount the least fun but possibly the most important part of budgeting for a Vacation considering adding insurance it's get sick plans change and we've all lived through A global pandemic travel insurance protects you from The Fallout of the unexpected and provides Some added peace of mind you're less likely to hear about a wild deal on a Disney cruise that You might with some other Cruise Lines however DCL does offer discounts and occasionally runs Promotions Florida residents enjoy up to 30 off select Bahamas and Caribbean salons Southern California residents are enticed to sail from San Diego to Baja for up to 25 off Members of the military also are eligible for special rates at the time of this recording Disney was running a promotion that allowed the third and fourth guests to cruise free When selling select baits with two full Fair subscribers The streaming service Assistant Plus The best way to stay on top of raids make sense of room categories track add-ons and Extras Bundle packages and seek special promotions is to work with a Disney certified travel advisor Who specializes in cruising based on average Cruise

10 Tips for Seeing Oman on a Budget
The country Oman, located in the Middle East, is a fantastic destination that is best known for its centuries-old desert fortresses, warm hospitality, beautiful beaches, wadis, and also breathtaking natural scenery.
Unfortunately, many people think that Oman is quite an expensive place to travel to, and hence, they miss all the natural beauties. However, just by following a few tips and affordable Oman tour packages, you can easily enjoy those beauties of Oman within your budget. So, let us discuss ten important tips that will help you to explore this beautiful country and its treasures on a budget.
Ten tips for traveling to Oman on a budget
Look for low-cost flights
While planning your Oman trip, you must check a flight comparison website to compare the rates of various flights. With these sites, you can choose your traveling day and flight according to your budget.
You may think about traveling out of season
The peak season for visiting this beautiful country is between the months of October and April. The reason is the temperature here may be really hot during the months of summer, so you should travel to Oman in winter, autumn, or spring if possible.
However, no matter what time you choose to explore Oman, you won’t meet with big crowds of tourists, as Oman is still not a very common travel destination. However, just like any other country, prices in Oman also will be a lot higher in peak season than at any other time. So, if you can avoid the peak season, you can be able to save almost 50% on your flights, accommodation, and car rentals.
Try to find reasonable tour operator
Availing tour operators Oman can help you in exploring the country with ease. Choose the best tour package which include desert safari Oman etc, meet and interact with the local people and explore some new things on a budget
Consider the entrance fees to historical sites
One of the most popular places to visit in Oman is the Nizwa fort. However, its entrance fee is really expensive, which is 5 OMR. So, to finish your tour on a budget, you must create a small note of these entrance fees and how much you can afford, and know that you don’t have to pay entry fees every place you go.
Rent a salon car instead of a large SUV
The perfect way to get around this fantastic country is to rent a car. This is true both visiting Muscat and some other popular cities of Oman, along with inter-city travel.
Public transport around Muscat does not cover all the important parts of the city and also runs infrequently. So, you should hire an affordable saloon car instead of an expensive SUV to explore all important corners of Oman on a budget.
You may take buses between famous cities
If you want to visit only the popular cities in Oman, then you can just choose public transport. Though infrequent, a few buses run between Muscat and Nizwa and also between Salalah and Sur. Also, the bus tickets are very cheap, and all buses are air-conditioned.
You may eat out in Oman
Eating out in Oman is not very expensive. A lot of cafes and restaurants in Oman are operated and owned by migrant workers from the Indian subcontinent to Oman’s neighbor Yemen. There you can get small snacks and sandwiches for a couple of dollars. Moreover, you can taste simple Arabic dishes or even Indian curries for just 5 or 6 dollars. However, you must avoid eating out in Muttrah, as restaurants here are really expensive.
You can look for home-stays to save money
Previously accommodation in Oman was limited to luxury resorts and hotels. However, today this country is increasing its accommodation options which include Airbnb and home-stays. As the cost of renting rooms in Oman can be a little expensive, you can think about home-stay as a very good accommodation in Oman. In this way, you can spend your days in Oman both comfortably and on a budget.
Avoid currency conversion
Instead of changing your local currency, you must withdraw money from the local ATMs in Oman. Also, if you need to visit a currency exchange in this country, remember to avoid places like exchange offices in hotels, airports, etc., as they offer some terrible rates.
Shop at souks and local marketplaces, and don’t forget to haggle
Browsing and shopping must be done in the local marketplaces and souks in Oman. Also, you must haggle. Never accept the first price quoted in the shops of Oman, as it is always inflated.
So, to enjoy your Oman visit on a budget, you must remember and follow these ten vital tips, along with consulting a reliable tour operator in Oman.
