      Upscale?

      Moderate?

      Family?

      Small/specialty?

*What about your cabin?

      Category?

      Location?

      Dining options?

      Package (drinks, WiFi, gratuities)?

*What about shore excursions?

* What's the best time of year to visit?

* What are the best airline options?

* How many days do you need to properly experience the location?

* What type of accommodations best suit your needs?

* What are your transportation requirements?

* What are the best activities for you in this venue?

* Which are the best restaurant/dining options for you?

* What are the visa/legal requirements?

* What's your budget?
