Celebrity Cruises' Century Presents Venetian Gem

EM publisher Bob Zucker took his first cruise on a Carnival Cruise trip from San Diego, CA to Ensenada, Mexico for an extended weekend. This cruise travel special was a repositioning for Carnival Cruise Line. Repositions offer cheap cruise discounts so the ship can fill up while it changes direction for the season.

Cruises are now cheaper than ever before!

The slowdown in the travel industry is a boom for travelers looking for bargain basement deals on cruises. More new cruise ships- nearly a dozen planned to carry 3-4,000 passengers- will be launched this year.

Ocean cruises are a more affordable and convenient way for a couple or a family to spend an extended weekend or more aboard a luxury cruise ship with almost every amenity included. Cheap cruise travel is now possible because of the influx of large ships that can hold 2,000 or more guests plus a crew. These massive ships are like luxury hotels. Now, the trend is for multi-amusement and luxury cruise ships.

Cruise vacations drop in price

The costs have dropped in the past years, due to a drop in tourism since 9/11 and the current economic conditions.

Now, a luxury cruise is well within the financial reach of more people. Singles cruises have become a popular way to meet someone on board.

Be pampered by your steward, waiters and crew to your every whim, indulge in the constant flow of food and entertainment throughout the day and night, bask in inside the outside jacuzzis, pools, take a chance in the casino, lay out on the deck or roam from deck to deck. Fill your stomach virtually 24 hours a day from a deck full of food choices.

A complete all-in-one cruise vacation includes (mostly) everything you need, without your wallet, rolled into a huge floating hotel.

Entertainment Magazine has added a section on cruises and has several affiliation with travel industry agencies for some excellent priced cruise packages. More on Carnival Cruise Lines.
