New Page at All-Inclusive-Caribbean-Cruises.netAdditional Costs Onboard Ship Whenever you book a family cruise vacation, it is generally all-inclusive. Your ticket price includes accommodations, meals, activities, entertainment and visits to fun places. However, while you do not have to spend any extra money onboard the ship (except for gratuities automatically added to your onboard account), there are some things onboard which will incur an extra charge. Would you like to learn more about additional costs onboard ship? - Click here to get the information.
Cruise Industry NewsHere are two of several things happening in the cruise industry: 1. Celebrity Makes Packages More Inclusive
Guests sailing with Celebrity may choose to add certain things such as a beverage package, unlimited internet minutes or free gratuities, at the point of purchasing the cruise ticket. The big plus for doing this is that it will cost less to buy these items before sailing. Note: The more inclusive cruise packages are available to guests in oceanview cabins and above.
On a sad note, Norwegian has announced that it will not renew its contract with Nickelodeon, when it expires at the end of the year. The cruise line will take pains to remove all things Nickelodeon from its ships, but has promised to continue to invest in offering exciting programs for families with children.
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.
On this cruise, each guest is asked to bring a backpack with supplies for orphans in Cozumel. Petes Travel Center will provide the backpacks and guests are asked to volunteer to add the supplies.

Prices for inside cabins start under $400 per person and under $450 per person for oceanview cabins. In addition, each cabin will have $50 to spend onboard the ship.

Cruise Saving TipHere is something everyone loves - learning how to save a buck or two on their cruise ship vacation. Tip: Cruise Just For Cruising If you want to cruise simply for the reason of "cruising", then you can save. Cruise just for cruising means that you will not be bothered about which cruise line is headed in your direction. If that is so, then you will find that one cruise line may offer a lower price for the same itinerary as another. This may set you up for a nice saving. For example, my family will sail out of San Juan this July to the Southern Caribbean. At the time of checking on cruise rates, we had two options - Royal Caribbean and Carnival. We quickly discovered that a cruise with Carnival with the same itinerary as Royal Caribbean would save my family of five (5) more than $400. You can bet which cruise we chose. Do the same and you will save too. Happy saving!
