Fantastic Getaways that Don’t Break the Bank! -Part 1

Did you ever dream of a vacation that would bring you the relaxation you deserve or the excitement you crave, but the pocketbook just wouldn’t stretch that far? We may have just the escape you’re looking for, and you may still have money left in your savings account when you return home!
Before I became a travel agent, I never would have considered a cruise vacation. It seemed to me that cruises were reserved for the “rich and famous”. But with a little education, I’ve become convinced of the contrary. Did you know that cruise getaways are really no more expensive than your traditional vacation? In fact, in some cases, they can save you money!
A cruise can be as action-packed or relaxing as you choose. Your accommodations and meals (except drinks) are already included in the fare. On-board activities, some included-some extra, are plentiful. You may choose from organized social events & games, casino action, Vegas-style shows, movies, dancing & nightlife, pampering at the spa, sunbathing, children‘s programs, and many other activities that vary by ship. This is a fantastic way to get so much vacation for your money. Then, once you have docked in foreign ports, there are unlimited opportunities for sightseeing and shopping. You can even pre-book tours (shore excursions) so that it is included in the cost of your cruise! (Some cruise lines allow you to leave the kiddies aboard with qualified counselors to enjoy their own activities while the adults slip away to enjoy some time alone in port.)
Cruises are available in virtually any part of the world. North American cruises include such destinations as Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, West Caribbean, South Caribbean, East Caribbean, and the Panama Canal. Sometimes you can

even take “cruises to nowhere”, when a ship just leaves port for a couple of days at sea and returns without docking in any other ports. An example of a fantastic deal on a cruise includes one of Carnival’s current specials…3-Day Cruises to the Bahamas starting at just $229 per person, plus taxes & fees. Airfare & transfers not included. What a great way to sightsee & shop abroad, appreciate the luxury and relaxation of a vacation on the open seas, and enjoy an all-inclusive getaway package!
