Best Caribbean Christmas

Did you know you could get cruise tickets on many of the best cruise ships for prices up to 75% off? Well you can. You just need to know where to go online. A little known company handles many of the best deals around.

The site you want to visit is called Vacations To Go. This company not only offers special deals for just about anyone but you’ll get an even better deal if you happen to meet one or more qualifications: single, a teacher, policeman or woman, military, firefighter, EMT, or you are age 55 or older. Plus they have specialty cruises for families, honeymooners, special needs individuals, weddings, and more!

How can they offer the tickets so cheaply? Good question. Vacations to Go is what you call a clearinghouse for deeply discounted cruises. They are able to offer special cruise deals you would not believe because a number of years ago the company convinced the major cruise lines to drastically reduce the price of unsold cabins close to departure time.

The cruise lines were reluctant to provide “sale” prices that might undermine their business relationship with travel agents. What they decided to do instead was offer discounts on unsold cabins to the exclusive and confidential client list of Vacations to Go. You can be a member of this list by just signing up on their website (I’ve been on the email mailing list for a couple of months now. There’s no fee to sign up.)

To get an idea of the kind of savings you might find just cruise over to the site and check out their 90-Day Ticker. This service provides you with a list of last-minute markdowns. You just need to register.

I’ve always wanted to go on a Caribbean Cruise! Now that I know about this service and the amazing bargain prices offered, I will be taking one of these trips as soon as I have enough time. The price is no longer an issue.

There are a lot of advantages to making your trip (especially a first trip) to the Caribbean a cruise trip. Have you considered all the possibilities? Here are 7 top reasons why a cruise may very well be your best choice for travel to the Caribbean.

1. First and foremost is the value you receive for the cost of the cruise. For one price you are paying for most of the expenses you will encounter on your trip. One fee pays for your cabin, meals (usually 1-2 meals a day at minimum), shipboard activities, and entertainment. In addition, if you live within a few hundred miles of the coast you can save on airfare. Cruises to the Caribbean depart from many U.S. cities including Baltimore, New Orleans, Galveston, New York, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, and Miami.

2. The Caribbean is by far the top cruise destination. This means you will have many choices for picking the cruise itinerary that suits you best.

3. Cruises are no longer just about bingo, shuffleboard, and entertainment that might have excited people a decade ago but not today. The three top choices for activities include intriguing educational opportunities, enjoying outstanding cuisine, and taking advantage of comprehensive fitness options.

Explore educational possibilities such as music classes, digital photography, acting, web design, pottery and many more. Enjoy delicious food everywhere you turn from buffets to ice cream parlors, pizza stands, food and wine festivals, and specialty restaurants. If you are concerned about overindulging then take advantage of the many ways you can get a workout. Most cruise lines offer gyms with the latest fitness equipment and pools. In addition you might find yoga classes, pilates, wave simulators, and more. There’s also plenty of excellent entertainment. Enjoy live music, disco, dance extravaganzas, gambling, or simply lounging on deck while taking in the sights and sounds.

4. Going on a cruise can be a great way to sample the various cruise destinations. Stops at different ports of call will give you first hand knowledge about different Caribbean countries so that someday you can plan a trip to your favorite place for a longer stay. The Caribbean Sea covers a huge geographical area extending in the north from the tip of Florida to the edge of South America in the south. On the western border is Mexico and Belize. And on the east you’ll find a string of islands with a wide diversity in cultural heritage.

5. It’s simple! A cruise ship is a floating hotel so you don’t have to do extensive research to find the perfect place to stay. And there is no need to make elaborate travel arrangements. An experienced travel agent can help you choose a cruise and then handle all the details. Or you could sign up online to be notified by travel agents when a cruise that best meets your specifications becomes available at a price you can afford. Try MyBestFareFinder or CruiseCompete.

6. Cruises are great for families. Many cruises offer special activities for kids. This includes designated areas of the ship where kids can enjoy a variety of fun supervised activities giving adults time to relax onboard or go sightseeing on their own at a port of call.

Cruises are great for couples. There are private activities for couples located away from the high energy and noise of kids. Some cruises are designated as adult-only. You can enjoy secluded beaches, spa services, or dining for two on your own private balcony overlooking the sea.

Cruises are great for singles. The best are those that specialize in providing service for the single traveler. For more information you will want to read “Best Cruise Lines for Solo Travelers.”

7. You have an opportunity to experience small privately owned islands that are not reachable any other way. Some of the cruise lines actually own the islands and the exclusive rights to the unspoiled beauty. Many people report that these private island get-aways are their favorite destination or port.

So take a look at the cruise opportunities available. Give a cruise a try and you just might get hooked. Cruises are for everyone.
