1. A Great Value
Cruises offer great value for your vacation dollar because the fares include nearly everything you’ll need for a memorable trip: food, accommodations, and transportation between destinations.
We regularly see fares on cruise lines for under $100 per person, per night, which is cheaper than you’d spend on land for a hotel, dinner and a show.
On some lines, kids even sail free or at discounted rates when sharing a cabin with two adults.
2. Many Destinations…Unpack Once
On a cruise, you unpack your bags only once and your floating hotel takes you from city to city or from island to island.
Every morning, you’ll wake up in a new place without having to move yourself. Pick an itinerary that visits all the cities on your wish list.
3. Family Friendly
Cruises are fun for all ages. If you’re struggling to find a vacation that your kids will love and that has adult activities too…then a cruise is for you. Ships now have extensive kids’ facilities, split by age.
Teens have their own cool hangouts, far away from the play areas for the little ones and certainly a nice distance from parent-friendly pools and bars. How can you not love a trip that separate time for those that want it–while offering time for families to be together at dinner or on shoreside excursions?
4. Something for Everyone
Today’s cruise ships are designed to keep everyone happy. Want to pamper yourself at the spa while your spouse hits the cruise ship casino? Or lounge in the sun reading a book while your family plays basketball? You can do it all and then some as there are numerous cruise ship activities to choose from.
You can go to an art lecture, a wine tasting, a cooking class or a dance workshop; learn a language or do yoga… dine at a casual buffet, a fancy sit-down restaurant, a sushi bar, a diner or a steakhouse; and watch a movie, a comedy routine, or a live performance.
And if all you want to do is nothing while the ship sails from port to port, you can do that, too.
5. Easy to Plan
Because cruise vacations package together transportation and accommodations, they’re very easy to plan. Pick your ship, itinerary and cabin, and away you go. No searching for hotels in your price range, no coordinating travel between cities.
You can even get your travel advisor to arrange your airfare for you — or choose a departure port within driving distance to eliminate that extra planning step.
It’s a cinch to book group cruises as well. Cruise lines have plans in place for group travel, eliminating the hassle of coordinating your 20 family members and friends from around the country who want to vacation with you. Book enough cabins and you may even get extra perks.
Every agency works differently. Some agents charge for there time and expertise. Other places do not.
I do not charge a fee for my services. I am a retired educator and simply want to help you plan an amazing memoryfor you and your family.
As an educator, I have had the chance to travel with my family throughout the U.S., Europe and Caribbean. We have traveled with kids of all ages and also with grandparents…sometime needing special assistance.
I will listen to your needs and ask questions to try and plan a memorable experience for you.
