Cruising is economical and we have enjoyed it. I would argue that if you have to travel to board the ship much of the benefit is negated.
Living in Houston we can just hire a car to take use to the cruise terminal 30 miles away in Galveston. This puts my mind at ease as I don’t want either of our cars parked in a lot or garage for a week. Nor do I want then parked right by the salt water…
We took a seven day to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. Granted it is touristy and much focus is placed on shopping but it is relaxing. I enjoy the sea days more than the ports. There is much to do, eat, and drink and it is all included except the booze and the sodas.
If you don’t get carried away with drink, shore excursions, and shopping it is cheaper than spending a week driving, eating out, and staying at hotels. It is also cheaper than flying to a destination and staying a full week or so. This last time we splurged and got a suite with a balcony, Jacuzzi tube, etc. and still only spent just over two grand…
X2, cruises are an amazingly great value.
I cannot begin to tell you what a bargain they are. My Wife and I have been all over on them without a bad experience yet, maybe we're just lucky.
Absolutely the best vacation out there for less than a hundred bucks a day complete!!! Check out vacationstogo.com and other sites for amazing bargains...
