In This Issue1. New Page at All-Inclusive-Caribbean-Cruises.net - Carnival's Early Saver Rate 2. Cruise Industry News - Cuba Opens Door To More Cruises 3. Plan A Group Cruise 4. Cruise Saving Tip 5. Caribbean Cruise Deals for March 2017 New Page at All-Inclusive-Caribbean-Cruises.netCarnival's Early Saver Rate This is not a new page, but one you need to be reminded of. You may already know that Carnival Cruise Line offers the best cruise rates to the Caribbean and elsewhere. Carnival aims to make cruising affordable to every segment of the population. What you may not know is that Carnival offers something called the "Early Saver Rate." It is usually the lowest rate available, but it comes with conditions. You can learn more about Carnival's Early Saver Rate by clicking here.
Cruise Industry NewsHere are two of several things happening in the cruise industry: 1. Cuba Opens Door To More Cruises
And now, more cruise lovers can sail to Cuba. Earlier this month, it was revealed that several top cruise lines have been given permission to sail to Cuba. Among the big names are Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited. While there remains some uncertainty as to how long the door will remain open, you may now book a cruise to Cuba with Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, and others. Check with your travel consultant.
Norwegian Escape currently sails from Miami, but will offer seven-night Bermuda cruises from April to September beginning 2018. The Escape will also offer Canada/New England cruises in September. See your travel consultant to begin planning to sail with Norwegian Escape from New York.
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 at 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.

Cruise Saving TipHere is something everyone loves - learning how to save a buck or two on their cruise ship vacation. Tip: Book Your Cruise Vacation Early It is no secret that the early bird catches the worm. This is also largely true when it comes to cruise fares. More often than not, if you book your cruise at least a year in advance, you will pay less than if you wait for six months or closer before your desired sail date. Cruise lines start out with a set price, but then makes adjustments as the time gets shorter. Note: Do not book a nonrefundable rate. Book early, but leave yourself some wiggle room, in the rare event that there's a lower rate offered after you have booked your cruise. Happy saving!
