New Page at All-Inclusive-Caribbean-Cruises.netBahamas Cruise-Resort Packages Some people are constantly looking for a quick getaway for the weekend or whenever. Others would like to combine a cruise with a resort stay. Now you can do both year-round. There is one cruise line that offers 2-night Bahamas cruise getaways, and longer cruise and resort stay combos. Interested? Click here to read all about it.
Cruise Industry NewsHere are two of several things happening in the cruise industry: 1. Royal Caribbean's Newest Ship Sails In October In October 2014, Royal Caribbean's newest ship, in a brand new class, Quantum of the Seas, will set sail from the shipyard in Germany to Southampton, England. After short sailings from there, it will make its way across the Atlantic Ocean to the Cape Liberty Port in New Jersey. For six (6) months, Quantum of the Seas will offer sailings from Cape Liberty to the Caribbean. After this, the ship will head to China to boost Royal Caribbean's market share in Asia. (She will later be replaced by her sister, Anthem of the Seas.) Book your cruise on this amazing ship - dubbed "first smart ship" - before it sails for China.
Royal Caribbean's newest ship, Quantum of the Seas, will offer a first at sea - something called dynamic dining. Instead of having all guests sitting in one of two main dining rooms for dinner, passengers will now have 4-5 complimentary restaurants serving different cuisines from which to choose each night. This is in addition to several other restaurants which incur a cover charge. Royal Caribbean has decided to add dynamic dining to Oasis of the Seas, one of the world's largest cruise ships. The ship will head to Europe this fall and be prepared to offer dynamic dining to all passengers by spring of 2015. Pretty awesome!
Plan A Group CruiseA group cruise is generally comprised of at least 8 cabins (number varies by cruise lines) with 2 or more passengers. Group cruise ideas: family reunions, employee appreciation, club or organization fundraiser, girlfriends' getaway, couples' retreat, church outing, wedding, etc. Reasons for planning a group cruise: 1. 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.

Make this a "Bahama Spring Break Thing!"
Cruise Saving TipHere is something everyone loves - learning how to save a buck or two on their cruise vacation. Tip: Request the Early Saver Rate on a Carnival Cruise! If you are looking to sail with Carnival Cruise Lines and can book early - about three months or earlier before the sail date - ask for the Early Saver Rate. This rate is not published online and so you must check with your Travel Agent for it. Why get this rate? The chances are great that the cruise rates on that sailing will go down. With the Early Saver Rate, you are guaranteed a refund in the form of onboard credit when the rates drop. Your Travel Agent will watch the rates for you (ask to make sure) and when he/she notices a reduction that person will submit a refund request to Carnival. The cruise line will then add the difference in prices as onboard credit and you can use that money to do anything on the ship - buy drinks, pay for a photo, etc. Getting a refund due to having the Early Saver Rate is a great way to spend less money from your pocket onboard the ship. Happy cruise saving!
