Cruise Saving Tip 5. Caribbean Cruise Deals for November 2016 New Page at All-Inclusive-Caribbean-Cruises.netCarnival Cruise Caribbean Schedule If you are thinking of sailing with Carnival Cruise Line to the Caribbean, then it's helpful to know what this cruise line offers in itineraries and from which U.S. homeports. I encourage you to read more about Carnival Cruise Caribbean schedule by clicking here.
Cruise Industry NewsHere are two of several things happening in the cruise industry: 1. Carnival Announces New Ship
Carnival Cruise Line has announced that it is building another Vista-like ship, which will bear some similar features and some new ones. The new ship, Carnival Horizon, will debut in 2018 but its itinerary and homeport are still unknown. Stay tuned for more information.
The reality of no cruises sailing from Houston was quite pronounced when Norwegian Cruise Line did not announce any sailings for its 2016-17 schedule and Princess Cruises followed suit. Norwegian and Princess were the only cruise lines offering sailings from the Bayport Cruise Terminal. As an alternate, residents of Texas and neighboring areas may book cruises from Galveston.
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 needy children at the Hague Primary School in Falmouth, Jamaica. Petes Travel Center will provide the backpacks and guests are asked to volunteer to add the supplies. The dates are February 20-25, 2017 - Presidents' Day week. It is a 5-day sailing aboard the beautiful Independence of the Seas out of Ft. Lauderdale to Haiti and Falmouth, Jamaica.

Cruise Saving TipHere is something everyone loves - learning how to save a buck or two on their cruise ship vacation. Tip: Check With Your Timeshare Company This tip is not good for your travel agent, but it is good for you. You may be able to save some money on your next cruise package, if you book it through your timeshare company. I know a couple that has taken a cruise this summer and they booked it through their company. They checked with me after consulting with the timeshare company and the price I received from the cruise line was more than what the couple got through their timeshare company. I do not quite understand how it works, but I know that it could save you money if you book a cruise package with your timeshare company. Happy saving!
