New Page at All-Inclusive-Caribbean-Cruises.netHow to Check In for Cruise After booking your fun cruise getaway, you will need to check in. Cruise lines no longer mail cruise documents. Similarly to airline tickets, you must check in and print cruise documents. One of our newest pages at All-Inclusive Caribbean Cruises looks at how to check in for cruise sailings before sail-day. Interested? Click here to read all about it.
Cruise Industry NewsHere are two of several things happening in the cruise industry: 1. Princess Cruises to Add Third Ship in New Class. In 2013, Princess Cruises added its biggest ship, the Royal Princess, to its fleet. Earlier this year, another ship in that class, the Regal Princess debuted. Princess now reports that it has ordered a third ship in its new class. This new ship will debut in 2017 and will have similar features to its sisters. In addition, it will carry over 3,500 passengers at double occupancy, will offer 80% of its cabins with balconies and will have new innovative features. Look out for this one!
Carnival Cruise Lines looks to add some longer cruises to its line-up from Galveston, Texas. There will be an 11-day cruise from Galveston to San Juan with stops in places such as Aruba, Bonaire and St. Maarten. There will be a 10-day sailing from San Juan to Galveston. Stops include St. Thomas, St. Croix and Falmouth (Jamaica). There will be a 12-day round-trip from Galveston. Stops include Costa Rica, Panama, Cartegena and Santa Marta (Colombia - Carnival's first visit here).
Plan A Group CruiseA group cruise is comprised of at least 8 cabins (Carnival Cruises - varies with other 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.

Cruise Saving TipHere is something everyone loves - learning how to save a buck or two on their cruise vacation. Tip: Book a Guaranteed Cabin Whenever Available! Each cruise line divides its cabins into categories. You can select which category cabin you want and where on the ship you would like to be. However, there is something called a "guaranteed cabin" in some categories. This cabin is simply one for which there is no room number assigned at booking. The cabin number is assigned before or upon checking in. More often than not, the guaranteed cabin will have the lowest rate available. Why? While you know that it is a particular type of cabin (inside, oceanview or balcony), you do not know where on the ship you will end up. For that inconvenience, the cruise line sells this cabin at a lower price. I say, select the guaranteed cabin whenever available and save that extra money. Use it to buy specialty drinks on board. Happy cruise saving!
