Money Saving Tips For Your Next Luxury Cruise

Vacations give you a splendid opportunity to step back from life's unrelenting pace and smell the roses.

If your choice of vacation is a luxury cruise, you have probably found out the hard way that while the package may be affordable, hidden expenses can drive up the cost of your vacation significantly.

Don't fret though.  You can still take a luxury cruise for your next vacation.  You just need to keep in mind a few money saving tips.

Plan ahead

What do you want to do next time?

If you plan to spend most of the day soaking up the sun on the deck, or going on excursions, or partying until the sun comes up why not book yourself a basic cabin?  If you don't intend to spend much time in your cabin, go for the less costly option instead of spending more on the luxurious cabin you're thinking of.  

Check the itinerary

Find out if there are any interesting spots in the ports that you dock in.  Go exploring with a group.  Or you can use the break and organize an onboard picnic.

An independent excursion provider may be able to give you a better value for your money compared to the trip the cruise operator is offering.  Compare both offers.  Note that excursions offered by cruise operators have a very decided advantage.  If you go on an excursion sponsored by the cruise operator and you get delayed, the ship won't leave until you get back.  Other excursion providers cannot make that guarantee for you.

Transfers

Transfers are charged on a per person basis.  You may find that taking a cab can be more cost effective than paying for the transfers.  If you're traveling with companions, you can also share the cost of the cab, driving the price per person lower.

Photos

Bring a digital camera and extra memory cards.  There will be lots of photo opportunities you will want to take advantage of.  You don't have to have your picture taken by the ship photographer and you don't have to buy the photos that are taken of you.  If you're traveling with friends, take pictures of each other.  Or ask another guest to take a picture.

Drinks

Bottled water, sodas and alcoholic drinks can total quite a bit.  Drinks are rarely included in standard cruise fare so you'll need to plan for that.  If you're traveling with kids or if you like drink a lot of soda, find out if the ship has a soda package.  You can save quite a bit if you take advantage of this offer.

Although the practice is not encouraged, you can bring your own wine aboard.  You'll be charged a corkage fee but this will still be less than if you bought the wine on board.

Phone and Internet Bills

Find out what the charges are for the use of the satellite phone on board.  You can activate roaming on your cell phone if this proves to be the cheaper option.  

Be aware that some ships charge by the kb while others charge by the time you spend online when surfing or emailing.

A cheaper alternative may be to wait until you get to port and send your emails from a café.  You can upload your pictures to free memory, send videos or just surf for a while.

Dining

Since meals are included in your cruise fee, eat at the designated dining room.  There are alternative restaurants you may choose to try but this would just be an added expense.  These restaurants will be a bit pricier than the usual so be prepared.

With a little planning and self restraint, your next cruise doesn't have to burn a hole in your bank account.  Plan your cruise ahead and you'll be sure to enjoy your vacation.

How can I send a package or a letter to someone who works on a yacht?


This person works on a luxury motor yatch that spends winter cruising in the Caribbean and summer in the Mediterranean. I´d like to send a package once it´s in the Med, but I still don´t know where, exactly, it´ll be: the most probable places are the Cote d´Azur or Viareggio in Italy. At least I know the name of the person and of the yacht, but I don´t know what else is necessary to make the delivery. Still no answer from Fed-Ex and the like.

Thank-you!

You need to know where the boat will be before you can send anything out. Once you have a destination, you can ask your friend/person who works on a yacht to ask the harbormaster/marina office where they moor for a delivery address and phone number for a package.

For example:
John Smith, "name of boat"
care of Porto Viareggio
P.zza Palombari dell’Artiglio, Viareggio, Lucca
55049 Italy

Plan on about 7-10 days for delivery from the United States if the package includes anything other than papers. And don't send it until you know they are there, have a confirmed reservation etc. or the harbormaster could refuse your package completely.

The Caribbean vacations travel guide.When it comes to vacation destinations that are all about having fun in the sun, nothing beats the Caribbean. Situated just to the south and east of Mexico and north and west of Venezuela, South America where the waters are clear and the sun is hot, a Caribbean travel vacation has something for everyone - whether you are one for water sports, hiking, swimming, diving, and just plain frolicking in its white sand beaches. But travelling to a hot destination like the Caribbean can be quite expensive, and for this reason, many people balk at the idea of a Caribbean travel. Indeed, why spend so much on a single vacation when you could visit much cheaper vacation destinations? Never mind if these places don’t even come close to what a Caribbean travel entails.Ah, but what if we told you that there’s a much better way to spend a vacation? What if we told you that you can go on a Caribbean travel vacation without having to spend a lot of your hard-earned money?

The following pages were written to beguile the tediousness of a long voyage from Hong Kong to England, during the spring and summer of 1844.

CHAPTER I.TAKING A LINE IN THE SERVICE. That there is a tide in the affairs of men, has very naturally become a figure of frequent and almost hackneyed use in the cockpits, gun-rooms, and even the captains' cabins of our ships and vessels of war. Like its numerous brethren of common-places, it will be found, perhaps, but of small application to the real business of life; though it answers capitally to wind up a regular grumble at the unexpected success of some junior messmate possessed of higher interest or abilities, and helps to contrast the growler's own hard fate with the good luck of those about him. Still, the metaphor may have its grateful use; for certainly in the Navy, and I suppose elsewhere, there is a period in the early stages of every man's professional life at which it is necessary that he should, more or less decidedly, "take his line," in order best to profit by the tide when the flood begins to make. It is difficult to say exactly at what stage of a young officer's career the determination to adopt any one of the numerous lines before him should be taken: but there can be little doubt as to the utility of that determination being made early in life. In most cases, it is clearly beyond the reach of artificial systems of discipline, to place, on a pair of young shoulders, the reflecting head-piece of age and experience; neither, perhaps, would such an incongruity be desirable. But it seems quite within the compass of a conscientious and diligent commanding officer's power by every means to cultivate the taste, and strengthen the principles and the understanding of the persons committed to his charge. His endeavour should be, to train their thoughts in such a manner that, when the time for independent reflection and action arrives, their judgment and feelings may be ready to carry them forward in the right path; to teach them the habit, for instance, of discovering that, in practice, there is a positive, and generally a speedy pleasure and reward attendant on almost every exercise of self-denial. When that point is once firmly established in the minds of young men, it becomes less difficult to persuade them to relinquish whatever is merely agreeable at the moment, if it stand in the way of the sterner claims of duty."Download Fragments Of Voyages And Travels Now!"

At last we, too, were crossing the Atlantic. At last the dream of forty years, please God, would be fulfilled, and I should see (and happily, not alone) the West Indies and the Spanish Main. From childhood I had studied their Natural History, their charts, their Romances, and alas! their Tragedies; and now, at last, I was about to compare books with facts, and judge for myself of the reported wonders of the Earthly Paradise. We could scarce believe the evidence of our own senses when they told us that we were surely on board a West Indian steamer, and could by no possibility get off it again, save into the ocean, or on the farther side of the ocean; and it was not till the morning of the second day, the 3d of December, that we began to be thoroughly aware that we were on the old route of Westward-Ho, and far out in the high seas, while the Old World lay behind us like a dream.Like dreams seemed now the last farewells over the taffrel, beneath the chill low December sun; and the shining calm of Southampton water, and the pleasant and well-beloved old shores and woods and houses sliding by; and the fisher-boats at anchor off Calshot, their brown and olive sails reflected in the dun water, with dun clouds overhead tipt with dull red from off the setting sun--a study for Vandevelde or Backhuysen in the tenderest moods. Like a dream seemed the twin lights of Hurst Castle and the Needles, glaring out of the gloom behind us, as if old England were watching us to the last with careful eyes, and bidding us good speed upon our way. Then had come--still like a dream--a day of pouring rain, of lounging on the main-deck, watching the engines, and watching, too (for it was calm at night), the water from the sponson behind the paddle-boxes; as the live flame-beads leaped and ran amid the swirling snow, while some fifteen feet beyond the untouched oily black of the deep sea spread away into the endless dark.Download A Christmas In The West Indies Now!
