Cruising
Destination Ideas
|
Admit it. Before you took that first cruise, your thoughts about cruise
ships and cruise vacations consisted of flashbacks to Love Boat re-runs.
Cruising was all about sunny, tropical destinations like Bermuda, Mexico
and Hawaii.
Since traveling by cruise ship is more popular than ever before, thanks
to its affordability, you can not only go to those sunny destinations
but also to more unusual ports like Hong Kong, Alaska, Norway and the
Amazon River.
Still, a lot of cruising is done in warm weather. The Caribbean is one
of the most popular places for first-time cruisers to go. Among the
places to choose from are the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
There is also the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.
Usually, cruise ships heading for the Caribbean set sail from ports
along the Eastern United States coast as well as Florida. The same applies
to beautiful Bermuda.
People who live on the West Coast of the United States often cruise
to Hawaii and its islands. The main goal of some vacationers is simply
to see the black sandy beaches of Punaluu. Cool Alaskan cruises are
a big deal not only because of the sights but also because of the cool
side trips that can be taken. Passengers can gaze at glaciers either
by land, by helicopter or even a guided walking tour. They can go salmon
fishing or relive some of the history of the Gold Rush days at some
of the Alaskan ports. These cruises also offer up some wildlife in the
process. Passengers have been known to spot humpback whales, moose,
wolverines, sea lions and bears.
If it is winter time in the United States, you can bet that veteran
cruisers may be heading to places in South America like Rio de Janeiro
or Buenos Aires to indulge in their summer seasons in an exotic locale.
Some of the more adventurous may decide on an Amazonian cruise or choose
to cruise the Galapagos Islands.
The Indian Ocean may appeal to some with an eye for less commercialized
ports of call. Some of these ports include African islands like Madagascar,
the Seychelles and the Spice Islands. Plus, you could even extend your
vacation to include a Kenyan safari.
The Mediterranean Sea beckons to the cruisers who are history buffs.
Some of the places rich in history include Italy and the ruins of Rome
including the Colosseum. Greece is another popular Mediterranean destination
seeped in history. The islands of Corfu and Crete are often included
in a Grecian cruise. Visiting other parts of Europe are a must for those
seeking a travel back through time. From Scottish castles to the Latin
flavors of Barcelona, Spain, there is something for anyone.
Deciding where to go is one of the hardest parts of cruise travel. For
a lot of us, budget dictates where we can go. Want a warm, sunny place
or a cool cruise to Alaska? No matter what your pocketbook says, there
are fabulous destinations to be cruised.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...
|
 Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
 Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
