Learn some key factors to consider, when planning your family cruise vacation. I encourage you to read more about this by clicking here.
Cruise Industry NewsHere are two of several things happening in the cruise industry: 1. Carnival's Newest Ship, Vista, Is Here
Carnival Vista will spend its earliest days (this summer) in Europe. From there, she will cross the Atlantic Ocean for limited sailings out of New York, before moving to her homeport of Miami this fall. Plan to be among the first Americans to sail on the Vista. Ask about Carnival Vista's itineraries from Miami starting in late November.
These excursions allow guests to leave the ship in one port and rejoin it at the next one. Included in the excursion package are things such as fully guided tours, dining, airfare (if required), hotel accommodations and transportation. Currently, these overnight excursions by Royal Caribbean are available in Greece, Bangkok and Tikal, Guatemala. Note: For those of you who may be interested in longer cruises and longer stays in ports of call, you may also consider Azamara Club Cruises.
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 needy children in the Hague Primary School in Falmouth, Jamaica. Petes Travel Center will provide the backpacks and guests are asked to volunteer to add the supplies. The dates are February 20-25, 2017 - Presidents' Day week. It is a 5-day sailing aboard the beautiful Independence of the Seas out of Ft. Lauderdale to Haiti and Falmouth, Jamaica.

This cruise is only for you and yours. Plan to get away with your lover on this exciting Royal Caribbean cruise aboard Allure of the Seas. You will enjoy the time together! There is a group cruise planned for October 30, 2016 to November 6, 2016 on this beautiful ship, and you are invited. For more information and to reserve your cabin, click here.

Cruise Saving TipHere is something everyone loves - learning how to save a buck or two on their cruise ship vacation. Tip: Sail With Carnival Cruise Line If you really want to spend less money on a cruise ship vacation, then plan to sail with Carnival Cruise Line. The truth is that when compared to all the other cruise lines, Carnival is more often than not the least expensive option. Does Carnival cater to your age group? Certainly! Carnival cruises are geared towards family members of all ages. There is something onboard for everyone to do. Note: If you want a party atmosphere and will not care about the abundance of activities, plan to sail during the holidays or school breaks. If you want a more relaxed atmosphere, plan to sail during the off season whenever the kids are in school. Whenever you choose to sail with Carnival Cruise Line, you will spend less money than you would on another cruise line. Happy saving!
