I am again honored to present to you on a topic near and dear to me, cruise vacations. I’m calling this year’s talk Vacation 201 – Points Can Make a Frequent Floater Out of You Too. After last year’s talk, I learned a few things. One, a lot more of us miles/points junkies enjoy time at sea than I thought, and two, there is interest in using points to pay for cruises. I will, of course, dedicate a little time to cruising basics, but the majority of time will be spent on various trick to use points to pay for, or reduce the cost of cruise vacations. I’m really excited to return to Chicago, and hope to see a lot of you there.
