My good friend, who does not need to be mentioned, is having family troubles. His Mom caught his dad cheating on her. To make matters worse, this home wrecker(as I call her) has the audacity to call at 2AM in the morning to speak to his DAD.

We have decided that a trip(financed by us) would be in order. It would allow, both parents to get away from it all and focus on the underlying issue; their marriage.

Could anyone recommend any travel agencies(online or concrete) that provides cheap cruise tickets?

Thanks In Advance,

FK


P.S My friend live in Colarado Spings.

I commend your interest in helping them fix their marriage. But I'd recommend against a cruise as the method of doing it. To me it sounds like their marriage is in need of more repair than a vacation will provide.

They have serious issues that need to be worked out, and counseling would be a place to start, IMHO. When they are on the road to recovery, perhaps that would be the time for a vacation. I don't think an activity-packed cruise is going to help fix it.

But if you are set on the cruise, check with AAA. They have dozens of cruise packages available that include airfare.

Good luck to your friend.

May I suggest you and your friend take a vacation and let the parents be at home to resolve their problems?

The objective is a "getaway". If the parents stay at home, then they will be susceptible to outside factors...*cough*Home Wrecker*cough*

I would also recommend to you that you suggest to them that they get some counseling.

While a vacation might help, once it is over they wil be returning to what they left, and the other woman will still be there. Counseling will help.

JiGGaTRoN - Kranky has a point, and I will try to say this in the nicest possible way - it seems that your friends father needs some practice at resisting the offerings of outside factors... Getting away from it all wont help him next time he is faced with the same choice. Its a wonderfully thoughtful idea, but your friend really has to let his parents deal with this without his efforts. Counseling sounds like it would be more helpful than a cruise.
Anyway here is a link to LowestFare

Turn your pm on, I'll post you an email I just got from a travel agency we used on our last cruise.
