Cruisin for a Cruise?

I don’t much follow, nor do I post about cruises here much. But I did come across a few deals that I thought worth at least mentioning. You can go on a three-day Carnival cruise from Florida to the Bahamas starting at $249 per person double for an inside upper and/or lower cabin. Which means you’re staring out the porthole and watching the wonderful blue world pass you by. The deal, should yo uchoose to accept it, will avail you of three sailings in October and November on the Fascination, a big opulent ship or on the Fantasy. Similarly, you can hop aboard the Norwegian Coastal Voyage and steam your way across the Atlantic to the wonderful world of Norway. If you book now, you savings will be from between $100 to $500…and that ain’t chump change. For example, the 17-day “Grand Norway” trip in May with round-trip air from D.C., an 11-night cruise and four hotel nights starts at $3,440 per person double. But you have to act quickyl and book by March.
