Normally when somebody gives you three choices for something, they call them “good,” “better” and “best.” If you are one of the people considering joining the Aramco ExPats Travel Club’s 7-day Mexican Riviera cruise planned for this coming October, you’ll have five, not three choices. All of them are luxurious; a couple of them might be considered super-luxurious. Thus, we’re creating two new categories of comparison that go beyond “best”—“Wow!” and “Fabulous!” You won’t go wrong with any of the five choices. Depending on your budget and your ‘druthers, there’s something to match any taste. GOOD - Interior Stateroom
