You Deserve a Cruise: A place for finding cruise deals
Back in January when I was writing about cruise line deals, I thought that if they are such a deal, I should go on one. That's what I'm doing in August. My mom, son and I are heading to Venice in August to hop on MSC's Musica Greek Island cruise. My mom and I were half price and had a free upgrade to a superior ocean view balcony room and my son is free. That's right FREE. All children ages 17 and under are free with an accompanying adult on all MSC cruises, all the time.
Cruise lines are continuing to be a travel bargain thanks to a campaign held by Cruise Lines International. According to this article in Mercury News the campaign, "You Deserve a Cruise" is highlighting travel deals for later this year and on into next year. There are 23 participating cruise lines which means you can probably find a cruise that matches your tastes and your budget. Here's a link to the Web site, plus you can check out the deals on the Web sites on the participating cruise lines. MSC is listed as one of them.
The article gives a rundown of some of the deals and perks and tells how to get them. Booking in advance is one way. That's what we did to get our deal, plus the agent we worked with was able to snag us the better rate for an upgraded room.
The message is cruise lines want passengers and are willing to toss you incentives to tip you over to pulling out that credit card. I'm glad took the bait. I certainly deserve a cruise. And so does my mother. My son gets to go because the way I see it, his presence makes my share of the trip cost a real bargain. With kids' activities on board, I'm assured some me time. With the money I've saved, maybe I will treat myself to a spa treatment. I deserve that too.
