Cruise Saving Tip 5. Caribbean Cruise Deals for September 2017 New Page at All-Inclusive-Caribbean-Cruises.netBeach Lovers Cruise Vacation It recently dawned on me that one of the reasons I love cruising, is the opportunity I get to visit many beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. I believe that there are many people like me, who love cruising for that reason. I created a webpage to talk about that and to invite like-minded beach lovers to join me on an annual cruise to explore beautiful beaches. You can learn more about my plan by clicking here.
Cruise Industry NewsHere are two of several things happening in the cruise industry: 1. Carnival Introduces Layaway Payments
The way it works is quite simple. Whenever one books a Carnival cruise at least 90 days prior to the sail date, that person will put a deposit down and then make equal monthly payments over the remaining period of time. These payments are set up for automatic deduction on a credit or debit card.
Starting on December 22, 2017, Holland America will make its inaugural voyage to the intriguing island. That sailing will be followed by several others into 2018. Stops on Holland America's cruises to Cuba will include Havana, Cienfuegos and other popular Caribbean ports of call.
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.

Cruise Saving TipHere is something everyone loves - learning how to save a buck or two on their cruise ship vacation. Tip: Organize Your Own Shore Excursion Taking a cruise is great for many reasons. One such reason to enjoy your cruise destinations by engaging in a shore excursion. Each cruise ship has a shore excursion desk, where you review and purchase something to do when you go ashore. While some ship-offered shore excursions should not be replaced by something else, there are some things that you can do on your own to save money. If you only want to tour your destination or visit a particular beach, more often than not you will spend less by booking your own shore excursion when you arrive in that particular port of call. Get off the ship, head to the "gate" and look for "reputable" tour operators who will give you a tour or beach package generally less than what you would pay on the ship. Note: Take precaution to select a tour operator that offers a good level of trustworthiness. Also, ensure that you're not the only family traveling with that tour operator. That being said, plan your own shore excursion and save money on your next cruise vacation. Happy saving!
