Crusing In 2009 – If You Snooze You Lose!

In today’s economy people want to have their cake and eat it too. Despite financial concerns travelers are unwilling to give up their favorite past time. Many people are simply modifying their vacations by shortening the duration of their trips or finding other more economic venues. This is very evident in the Family Travel Sector of our industry.

It is our opinion that the travel sector that gives travel mavens the most bang for their buck in this economy is cruising. If you love to cruise or have always wanted to explore this fantastic travel venue there has never been a better to indulge in your passion.

Many of the major cruise lines are offering amazing deals in the year to come. For example:

* MSC Cruises is having a European Balcony Blowout. You can sail to Europe (7 days) during the months of May, June, October & November 2009 for as low as $999 P/P. For example; you can enjoy a 7 night Western Mediterranean Cruise aboard the ‘New’ MSC Fantasia (Mediterranean Fantasy Cruise) for $999 P/P (Balcony State Room). Children under 17 y/o travel for free.

Many Cruise Lines are also offering deep discounts for 3rd and 4th travelers staying with you in your suites. The point here is that you will be able to find an affordable cruise package that suites your wants, needs and budget in 2009. You may have to plan ahead and spend a little more time than usual searching for the right package but you will not have to give up your vacation this year. On the other side of this coin there is another option for those with more flexible schedules. You can find some great bargains by searching for ‘last minute deals’. You can often find cruises that start at less than $100 per day per person. When you stop to consider that you would be hard pressed to find hotel accommodations alone for that price it is plain to see the advantages that cruising has to offer in today’s economy.

One must also take into consideration the theme aspect of cruising. These theme cruises will make your cruise experience much more entertaining and will surely create fond memories. Carnival Cruises, for example offers a Who Done It Mystery Cruise. You will be given Clue 1 before you board the ship and you will be given Clue 2 on boarding day. When you board you will be given your own mischievous role to play. You will also encounter suspicious characters during your cruise. Don’t worry, if you are on the shy side you can just sit back and watch the plot unfold. But if you are not shy, then you can use your character to find out as much as you can. You see, the actors will be mixing among you and in character for the entire cruise! This is just one example of how you can get great value for your travel dollars if you consider taking a cruise on your next vacation. Another great example is Carnival’s ‘Simple Man Cruise’ . On this cruise you can enjoy five stages full of music featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd out on the high seas, alongside legends Marshall Tucker Band, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Blackberry Smoke, and many, many more., a full-service casino, 24-hour room service, beautiful swimming pools, games, events and enough bars to keep everybody happy.

The options are endless and the price is right. Give us a call and let us help you put together a cruise package for you, your families and friends. Also keep in mind that deep discounts can be realized if you put together a group of friends and family to join you on your cruise.

The Bottom Line here is that if you snooze and don’t cruise you lose!
