How to explain blue cruise holidays to your wife?
You are going to the same hotel and the same destination for 10 years in a row and you are sick of it. You just learned how amazing blue cruise holidays are and now you have to convince your wife to give it a go!
Good luck.
This is not as easy as it sounds and lots of times you get this kind of impression on her face!
“Naaaaaaaaaah – I prefer the same thing we did the last time”.
If you really wish to convince her, here are a couple of tips you can use. Of course, you know your wife way better then we do, but here is the formula that always works:
- Declare the problems you had while going to your last holidays
- Present the solution gulet cruises can offer.
If you need “tailored” explanation of gulet cruises for your wife – let us know and we will do our best to present this in the best way we can.
Step No. 1
You will avoid masses
How to explain this to your wife?
“Darling, do you remember how our hotel is always full of those annoying Russian tourists and their tall, blonde, long-legged wives that are running around in their bikinis?
I really hate that, because they are so loud and you can not really relax as you would want to.
Do you know that if we book a gulet, that we will be alone there with only our family and friends! No other people will bother us and we will have everything just for ourselves”?
Step No. 2
You do not need to clean and cook and you do not have to wait in lines in a restaurant
How to explain this to your wife?
“I really hate when in the self-service restaurant we have to wait in line to get our meal. It takes us 30 minutes to get food for kids and then also for us. Do you know that while in a Blue Cruise, all you have to do it sit down to a prepared table with incredible sea view, we are served by a nice crew and you do not have to move a finger”?
Step No.3
We will not bother you to leave the beach
How to explain this to your wife?
“Do you know, when you relax at the beach and we always convince you that we should be more active?
All you wish to do is fill your batteries and we bother you with water sports, going on day trips or doing stuff you hate!
On the other hand, we are all nervous and bored to death while just lying on the beach?
On a gulet you have your own place on deck (either in the sun or in the shade) and while you are reading your book, we can do whatever we want. Kids will use the canoe and swim (5 meters away from you), I will play chess with my friend on the back of the gulet and we are all happy”.
Step No. 4
You do not need to carry anything to the pool
How to explain this to your wife?
“Do you remember how every year we have to carry all the beach towels, toys for kids, extra clothes and all the other accessories to the pool? No need for that anymore. On a gulet, you have everything close by. All you need to carry with you is your book.
Step No. 5
Every day different destination
How to explain this to your wife?
You can pack only 1 set of evening clothes. As you are in a different destination every day – nobody will notice you are dressed the same way you were yesterday! (we are not really sure this will work with your wife)
Just in case there is another option how to explain this:
“Different place every day means different shops every day! Would you not just LOVE to explore all these new possibilities every day“?
Step No. 6
Safety issues
How to explain this to your wife?
You will not get seasick. Kids will always be close to us. A professional crew will take care of everything for us.
No street hustlers.
No crime.
Bottom line! Gulet cruises are much, much safer than hotels!
“I really think we should give it a try honey? What do you think?”
Hope this will help you convince your wife.
