Cruising Tip: Noticed other cruisers are receiving such great “cruise deals”, and not you. Could it be you’re choosing the wrong cruise line !




So many folks automatically assume, that Carnival has the lower rates, and stop there.  If you are signed up to receive Carnival specials, have you noticed, actually not much is offered ?


With Carnival, you may see …
1.       Free upgrades.  Did you know ?  This is most often offered only on their higher prices.  Folks think they are getting the better deal, but maybe not !
2.       Reduced deposit.  Did you know ?  Again, this often on higher pricing.
3.       Onboard credit.  You don’t see this often !
4.       Military Rates.  Did you know ?  This is not available every date.  And military rates don’t often beat other offers !
5.       Past Guest Rates.  Did you know ? This is not on every date.  And doesn’t often out beat other offers.

 
The way to save with Carnival is their “Early Saver Rates”.  Book 5 months or more from sailing.  Other rates, like Military, Senior, Resident Rates, or even Past Guest Rates, are for the most times, not the lower rates.  Folks calling Carnival direct, and asking for these rates, are most often paying a higher rate.

Are you signed up to receive offers from other cruise lines ? (are you signed up for our e-Savers to see my staff's weekly cruise line Exclusives ?  www.SignUp4CruiseDeals.com)
Their added savings amenities, can often outbeat Carnivals pricing.
Free gratuities … Free drinks … Free onboard credit … and more.

Choosing your cruise, shouldn’t be all about price.  Maybe for a little more money, or taking advantages of their amenities, you may receive a better value.

Check out this savings, my client received yesterday !
10 night on Princess … Balcony started at $999pp.
My customer is past guest of Princess.
She moved up to a BE-Balcony, only $ 959pp.
She received $150 pp onboard credit from Princess.
And we had another $ 42.50pp onboard credit for her.
That’s $385 in onboard credit for her cabin.
Go here for itinerary:

We have 1500+ dates, on “other cruise lines” to save cruisers money !
Of course, we sell out of these quick … Yet, we may be able to get you the same amenities … Must call !

Could it be time to venture with other cruise lines ?

Cruising Tip: Discover a favorite dish, at dinner, while onboard your cruise ? Wishing to repeat that dish another night ?



Ever been on a cruise and discovered a dish you truly loved at dinner ?  And wish you could have that another night too ?  Maybe you can.  Ask !

 
Years back, I was on a Royal Caribbean cruise, and they ran out of our table having a 2nd lobster that night.  We asked if we could have another night … Sure enough, we received the next night.
 

 
My cruise last week was onboard Carnival.  I fell in love with the Bread Budding.  It was so buttery …I love butter !  I asked my waiter if I could have again the next night.  Sure enough, it was delivered the next night !  And to beat it all, I was sitting at a different table/different waiter (near by) and my waiter set this up for me.

 
On Princess … Folks love the soufflés … you must order these in advance, to have multiple times !
 
ENJOY !
