that your cruise takes place the week of your kid's Little
League championships, just call Travelocity and they'll
contact the cruise line and request a refund of your deposit
as long as it is before your final payment due date. No
questions asked. *Deposits placed with the cruise line are
typically fully refundable up until 90 days prior to your
departure. Policies vary by cruise line. Some cruise lines
have non-refundable deposit policies. Check with Travelocity

Cruise lines and ships

Ports of call

Cruise
Tip Of The Week
Are some
ships better than others for children?
While most cruise lines offer supervised
activities for children—such as
swimming, sports, movies, and games—some
ships don't, and some ships have better
programs than others. In addition, some
programs have minimum age requirements
(generally age 2 or 3). To find the best
children’s programs, we suggest you read
the the cruise ship’s
review. Though you may initially
think of Disney Cruise Line® when
shopping for a family-friendly cruise
(and it certainly is family friendly),
many other ships offer children's
programs (and adult activities) that may
be just as appealing.

The Insider's Guide to Booking Cheap
Travel
Money-Saving Tips and Tools from
Travelocity
Think you know all the ways to save on
travel? Think again. We've found the
best money-saving tips and tools
insiders use to find cheap airfares,
hotels, cruises, and car rentals.
Combine several of the key steps below
and you could save $500 on your next
vacation.
Tricks and Tips to Find Cheap
Airfares
Flying is often the biggest expense of
your trip, but it can be a source of
huge savings if you know how to work the
system. Use the steps below to find the
cheapest airfares.
-
Let the deals come to you.
Use a free automated service
that tracks fares and alerts
you when the prices drop.
-
Be flexible on dates. When
you fly is one of the most
important money-saving
factors. Start your search
by figuring out the smartest
days to travel.
-
Consider surrounding
airports. In major
metropolitan areas there are
often several airports, and
prices can vary dramatically
at each.
-
Look at flexible dates and
surrounding airports in one
search. You might need some
extra information for this
little-known trick.
-
Bundle everything together
and save a bundle. Buy a
Flight + Cruise or even
Flight + Cruise + Transfer
package and save $315 on
average per person. You can
even add in Shore Excursions
for extra savings.
-
Being spontaneous pays.
Traveling at the last minute
limits your choices, but it
could help you save up to
70%. Take off in two weeks
or in two hours and enjoy
final-closeout prices.
-
Pack lighter and smarter.
Many major airlines now
charge from $20 each way to
check a bag (and from $30
each way for a second bag).
Keep your luggage to a
minimum and fly cheaper.
Plus, bring your own food
and you could save $10 each
way. These steps could save
you up to $120 round-trip.
|
The Best Ways to Save Money on Your
Hotel
The average nightly rate of a U.S. hotel
room is topping $100 according to Smith
Travel Research. Take overnight flights
and sleep on the planes instead--and you
could save $200. Plus, when shopping for
a hotel, use the tips below.
-
Are your dates the cheapest?
Maybe not. Try doing a
dateless hotel search to
find the best days to save.
-
Add value to your trip with
special promotions.
-
Many properties offer perks
like complimentary spa
treatments, free nights, and
special discounts to reel
you in.
|
Insider Tips to Save on Cruises
Not all vacations involve taking a
flight to stay in a hotel. Home port
cruising offers some of the best ways to
stretch your budget. Check out these
cheap cruise travel options.
-
Packaging your travel
components together helps
keep costs down--and cruise
ships often provide a
boatload of savings. In
fact, cruising costs $1,000
less on average than a
traditional land-based
vacation.
