Best Deals on Winter Cruises

It is the middle of winter and you're sick of being cold and have bad case of cabin fever, it's time for a cruise. Every year about this time, the winter blahs start to set in and our thoughts turn to those ads on TV for cruises in the Caribbean. We see them all the time but can you really get a good deal on a cruise, or are these commercials just a come on to get you to spend too much money for too little fun? Let's take a look at three places that offer the best deals on cruises and what they offer for that low, low price.

Cruises.com : offers deals on several of the best known cruise lines such as Celebrity, Norwegian and Carnival. They also offer last minute booking deals on all of them. Here you can book your cruise with the flight included or not. Cruise itineraries include trips to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Hawaii, Mexico, the Bahamas and other exotic locations. Prices vary with your choice of cruise line and destination, but can start as low as $299 per person plus taxes and fees.

Best Fares.com offers much more than just cruises; in fact they offer discounts prices on just about any type of vacation and travel needs you might have. Their cruise offerings include all of the best known cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Holland America, and Carnival to name a few. Packages start as low as $209 per person for a 3 night cruise to the Bahamas; on the Carnival Imagination it starts in Port Canaveral Fl and spends one day and night at Nassau in the Bahamas. This price does not include airfare and all other applicable fees.

Travelocity.com is definitely one the more well known companies offering discounts on everything from cruises to hotel rooms. Although perhaps not the lowest prices I found, they definitely have some great deals as long as you are willing to spend a little time searching through their site. Booking a cruise with one of their many lines including Disney, Princess and Holland America amongst others, can also net you upgrades for a discount and sometimes on board credits. You can use these to pamper yourself or that special someone with trips to the spa. Prices start as low as $249 per person not including fees and taxes.

Beat those winter blues with a cruise in the sun, you come home feeling like a new person and looking like a million dollars with a great winter tan. All of the prices here are based on a three night cruise to the Bahamas on a variety of cruise lines. They were all for an inside cabin with 2 passengers and did not include such fees as tips, port charges and taxes. Please make sure you get the full price from your agent before booking your cruise. You are also responsible for getting yourselves to the port of departure but, since all of these companies offer corresponding air fare deals you can book your entire vacation through them. Then all you have to do is pack your bags and relax. Have a great cruise.
