Luxury Cruising Is More Inclusive
Getting the best value for your money is something all travelers should seek when planning for a cruise vacation. Do you want a two-star or a five-star cruise experience?
Many times I find that people focus on getting a cruise vacation for the cheapest price they can when they should focus more on getting the best value for their money. To determine the best value, travelers need to look at what they get for the price they pay for a cruise. With contemporary and premium lines, most carrying 2,000+ passengers, you may find yourself paying way more overall than you originally intended. In addition to the cruise fare, which includes accommodations, meals, entertainment and transfer from port to port, cruisers on contemporary and premium lines can expect to encounter fees for many onboard services and products that are included in the price of a luxury cruise. Examples include soft drinks, alcohol, bottled water, specialty coffee drinks, crew gratuities, shore excursions, spa services, select exercise activities, etc.
Dollar wise, the best part of luxury cruising is the ships all-inclusive factor. Many even include complimentary shore excursions (one or more, depending on the cruise line) and all include shipboard gratuities and beverages. Luxury liners also tend to be smaller and carry fewer passengers resulting in a more pleasurable, less crowded, experience. If you're looking for a high level of quality service and pampering, a luxury cruise product will offer you more for the money. If you think you can't afford to sail on a luxury line think again. Where discounts were seldom available from luxury lines in the past, the various luxury lines now offer up to 50-percent savings on select itineraries, some with free airfare. With advance planning, early booking discounts are also available. To make the most of your next cruise vacation, cruise luxury.
