Here are some tips for planning a
value-added cruise vacation
Raye & Marty Trencher
Cruise Traveler Magazine
- CLIA member cruise lines offer inclusive pricing.
Accommodations, meals, entertainment, use of most ship's
facilities, and transportation from destination to
destination are all included in the cruise price; this
means the consumer is already off to a great start in
realizing value for money spent.
- Cruises are offered in every possible price
category. Spend a little or spend a lot; it's easy to
pick the line that matches your budget.
- Cruises come in every length, from three days to
three months. If budget is a high priority, pick a
shorter cruise.
- CLIA member cruise lines operate all over the world.
By picking an "off season" destination - the Caribbean
this summer, for example - travelers can often save
money without losing any of the fun, excitement and
pleasure of vacationing in the tropics.
- With a weak U.S. dollar, planning a European cruise
and paying in advance, in dollars, often represents
added value compared to a European vacation paid in
local currencies.
- On most ships, the price of your cruise is based on
your choice of accommodations, nothing else. Most ships
offer a wide choice of inside and ocean view staterooms,
staterooms with balconies, even suites. If budget is a
consideration, choose an inexpensive inside stateroom
and enjoy the same dining, entertainment and use of
ship's facilities as everyone else.
- Most CLIA member ships offer a wide variety of
accommodations. If spacious, luxurious accommodations
are your top priority, choose a cruise line whose suites
match your budget.
- Cruises are an ideal choice for families, extended
families and friends who want to share a memorable
vacation. Put together your own group of cruisers and
ask for a group rate.
- There are more than 30 homeports for cruise
ships in the United States. Wherever you live, pick a
cruise you can drive to in order to save on the cost of
airfare.
- Most important, take advantage of the expertise,
experience and knowledge of a CLIA-certified travel
agent. No type of vacation offers more variety than
cruising; you'll enjoy extra satisfaction–and that,
after all, is what value really means–by matching your
cruise with your tastes, interests and budget. And, that
is what CLIA's 16,000 travel agents around the country
do best.
