This 2013 Fall season, up till Christmas, “last minute” cruiser buyers are truly amazed at how much money they’re getting to keep in their pocket ! Actually planning a 2nd vacation.

Posting earlier than Wednesday this week, because of this hot topic.





According to the cruise industry, it’s seemingly some of the “all time savings seen” in last minute cruise space.  Those folks, who have yet to plan their Fall get-away, can plan to have more money, in their pocket for spending while away.  Many are using this savings to deposit 2014 now ! 




This savings have caused many folks to getaway twice this year.  Why not !  Of course, if folks wait much longer to take advantage of these savings, the quicker decisive folks will be the only to not be left behind !

 
Amenities, upgrades, special promos and more.  !  Personally, I haven’t yet looked to see if there’s’ any additional savings for Seniors, Military, Past Guest, Resident rates, and others, with the rates for the “general consumer”, already at all time lows.  Cruise-only prices below are per person; Govt fees additional.  Here, feel free to use my cheat sheets to view Itineraries and additional category rates: www.VivianWebb.com; just search by name of ship, month, or destination.

 
First, I looked close to where I live, Norfolk.  Remember, October is the only month left and the last month, for ships to sail from Norfolk for awhile.  It’s amazing, how the 5N’s, on the Carnival
Glory, are pricing close to the same as their 2N.  Starting from, just over $ 300 pp.  That’s a no brainer !

Then I glances at Baltimore, such as on Royal Caribbean’s Granduer.  October 17 for 8N’s to Canada/New England, from $ 669.  October 25, 7’s to Bermuda, for Halloween, from $ 399.  November 1, baloncy from only $ 1199/Suite from $ 1299.  November 8, their 8N Bahama cruise includes Key West, from $ 449.  November 26, after Thanksgiving is always a great price for cruising; and it’s a 10N from $ 599.  If you can get away before Christmas, December 14 for 10N’s, from $ 499.

 
There are of course, so many sailings in the Fall.  For now, when looking at other embarkation ports, I just focus on 9N – 72N examples in September.  Listed below is either inside or balcony rates. Remember, there can be amenities available and lower rates for select folks !

You too can agree, that getting away this Fall, even if this will be your 2nd cruise vacation, is a great way to keep money in your pocket, for that destination on your bucket list !   Act now ... Space is getting away from you as you just sit there visualizing and dreaming about it !
