Cruises & Budget Travel                                    

By: Sandy Ingram

OK, lets face it; if you are a budget traveler, one of your top "keywords" has to be "cruises" No other word in the vacation vocabulary can provide such enormous benefits for a budget traveler.

If you say "cruise" a budget traveler says, "(free) gourmet all you can eat food, free entertainment, free party, plenty of rest, sun tan, all inclusive"

Repeat cruisers understand all too well that once the cruise is paid for, stress over paying for your vacation decreases.  All that is left to do once the cruise is paid for,  is to put aside monies for the tip (added to your cruise billask your travel agent what the tip amount is per day), the wine with dinner, alcoholic drinks at the pool, day at the spa, maybe one or two land tours and mad money for gambling.

That's it! Once the cruise is paid for, your stress level drops dramatically.  This is every budget travelers dream, to know 'exactly' what the travel cost will be.

Of course cruises are romantic, relaxing and stress free and can be suited for persons traveling alone.  You can visit six ports/destinations (10 day cruise) and only unpack once.  You have all the comforts of a 5 Start Resort, the only difference is, this resort floats.  The mega ships are so large you rarely feel the motion of the ocean. 

Try a 3 day cruise.  See what all the hoopla is about. Go to:  Travel360degrees.com  Discount (Carnival) Cruise Site,  See the discounts afforded to clients by Carnival Cruise Lines.
