By the way, did you know the Mariner of the Seas begins sailings from Los Angeles in February? The largest ship ever to sail from the West Coast, this ship also receives the most consistent praise among my clients for the Voyager-Class ships.

As part of the 2nd Annual First Time Cruisers Month, Royal Caribbean is offering past passengers and members of their Crown and Anchor society dollars off selected cruises. Yes, there is logic here, as they're extending the offer to not just the Crown and Anchor member's cabin, but also to another one on the same cruise.

The offers range from $50-$200/cabin discount as follows:
  • 3-5 Night Cruises - $50/cabin discount
  • 6-9 Night Cruises - $100/cabin discount
  • 9+ Night Cruises - $200/cabin discount

The applicable sailings and discounts can be found at First Time Cruisers Event Crown & Anchor Dollars Off Offer. The offer is good for bookings made November 10-30, 2008. So call or email me for your booking(s)!

Exclusive Savings on Celebrity and Azamara!

October 30th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Azamara cruises, Celebrity, Exclusive Savings, November, dollars off
No, you're not imagining things. While this is the time of year you tend to see a plethora of offers from the various cruise lines, the offers are increasing in frequency (and value). Cruise lines are doing what they can to attract your vacation dollars, and help you to keep travel within your budget.

Is all this confusing you as to what and when to book? You're not alone. I'll be writing a feature editorial here this weekend which will help you make sense of when you should book, and perhaps on which lines, so that you can maximize your savings. You may be surprised by what I have to say.

In the meantime, however, Celebrity and Azamara have released some exclusive pricing just for my family of companies for bookings made in the month of November! (How on earth did it get to be November already?)
