Cruise Industry NewsHere are two of several things happening in the cruise industry: 1. Carnival Corporation's Newest Port of Call Opens
Carnival Corporation has said that eight (8) of its ten (10) cruise lines will visit Amber Cover, although most of its guests will arrive via Carnival Cruise Line. Amber Cover is located on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. Its pier can accommodate two large ships. The port features a shopping village, bars, restaurants, a pool, ziplines, rental cabanas and a large excursion-staging area. You will enjoy your visit to new port!
Carnival has now reversed course. Guests are allowed to bring as many as a dozen 12-ounce cartons or cans of soda, water, juice or other soft beverages onboard. However, bottles continue to be banned.
Plan A Group CruiseA group cruise is generally comprised of at least 8 cabins (number varies by cruise lines), each with 2 or more passengers. Group Cruise Ideas: graduation celebration, retirement celebration, family reunions, employee appreciation, club or organization fundraiser, girlfriends' getaway, couples' retreat, church outing, wedding, etc. Reasons for Planning a Group Cruise: Cruising with a group is much more fun than cruising alone. I have done both and really prefer sailing with a group. Furthermore, there are perks to be had when cruising as a group. Plan your group cruise today. Learn more about group cruises here.
On this cruise, each guest is asked to bring a backpack with supplies for orphans in Cozumel. Petes Travel Center will provide the backpacks and guests are asked to volunteer to add the supplies. The dates are February 15-20, 2016 - Presidents' Day week. It is a 5-day sailing aboard Carnival Elation out of New Orleans to Cozumel and Progreso, Mexico. Prices start under $450 per person.

If you believe that you deserve to celebrate the end of winter, then this cruise is for you. Sail like royalty aboard the beautiful Emerald Princess next March, as you kick winter out the door. The cruise is set for March 14-19, 2016 and will sail from Ft. Lauderdale. For more information and to reserve your cabin, click here.

Cruise Saving TipHere is something everyone loves - learning how to save a buck or two on their cruise ship vacation. Tip: Budget For Photography There is no question that cruise ship photographers take amazingly beautiful pictures. It is simply difficult to walk away from these finished products. However, if you cannot walk away from some, you will find yourself with a huge bill at the end of your cruise ship vacation. The solution - Budget for photography! Before you leave home, decide among yourselves how much money you will spend on photos. Remember that you can take beautiful photos with your smart phone, so you do not need to buy all the pictures taken by the ship's photographers. Yet, you want to bring home some professional photos. Budgeting solves this problem and saves you some money. Happy saving!
