Viking Embarks on Ocean-Going Cruises
Viking Cruises announced that its new ocean-going brand, Viking Ocean Cruises, will begin sailing the high seas in May 2015. The river cruise line’s first ocean ship, the 928-passenger Viking Star, will embark on its maiden voyages in Scandinavia, the Baltic and the Mediterranean.
Is there such a thing? A few weeks ago I questioned the value of staying at an all-inclusive. Is it worth it? Oh my gosh, is it ever! And this is coming from first-hand experience.
I’ve had my fair share of all-inclusive resorts throughout the Caribbean and Mexico. Everything from couples only in what was deemed a “luxury” resort to a family friendly resort with characters roaming the property.
Read More...The all-inclusive resort used to be considered the “budget inn” of travel. Images of a rowdy crowd drinking in the Jacuzzi, bland food, forced group activities and limited entertainment was the norm. Today, the all-inclusive concept has expanded to unlimited activities such as golf on a championship golf course, gourmet meals, and more upscale and intimate resorts.

Read More...Is GROUP BUYING the newest way to save money
Source: SUN SENTINEL Broward, FL edition
The new year brings the promise of the power of "group buying."
"Group buying is an online shopping strategy where several people agree to approach a vendor of a specific product in order to collectively bargain with the proprietor as a group. The idea is to get good discounts. The group agrees to purchase the same item. The shoppers benefit by paying less, and the business benefits by selling multiple items at once."
Cruise Planners has been in the "GROUP BUYING " business for YEARS!!!
In fact Cruise Planners has hundreds of groups already booked. Group buying isn't a new concept in the cruise business. If you are flexible with your dates, you will have lots of choices. If you need specific dates, we can arrange that too. Bring your family and friends and create your own group
or just join one of ours.
How can you get pricing? Which ships and sail dates are available?

If you’ve vacationed with your children you know the look - a couple of bleary-eyed, bedraggled parents returning back to the hotel at 6 p.m.. In tow, are 2 hyper-active offspring wearing mouse hats or whale t-shirts sporting cotton candy hair extensions. Next it’s the big choice: wash them up and suffer through another dinner or collapse in the hotel room with another room service or take-out pizza meal. And today’s receipts for all this fun? Well, let’s just say it cost more than your first car did?
If this is how you define vacation in your household, maybe it’s time for something different. How about an experience where EVERYONE actually gets a vacation? The answer is quite simple and does not end with the words “Park”, “World” or “Land”. But it does end with the word “Happy”. On a cruise it is possible to make everyone happy with their vacation.
Contemporary cruise lines figured out quite a while ago that if you can keep the kids happy and occupied, then the parents follow right along. Over the years, children’s programs on board ships have blossomed from having one children’s counselor on board over the holidays to full blown year round programs and separate facilities for the different age groups. Every year from 6 months to 16 years is covered and child care is offered at various levels.
Cruise lines are now savvy enough to plan nighttime activities for the children so their parents can enjoy the facilities of the ship in a relaxed style simply unavailable at most land-based resorts. Cruises are an exceptionally good idea for single parents as they have a controlled environment and child care on the ship, but have the freedom and time to make new friends around the ship. Extended families also love ships because cousins and friends can hang together on the ship while the adults reconnect.
Before you plan your next road trip, let a cruise expert fill you in on the many choices and the “secret” affordability of family cruising. Oh, did we forget to mention that all meals, snacks, entertainment, accommodations and transportation are included in one upfront price? This year take a cruise and leave the mouse hats, maps, and (cotton candy remover) shampoo at home.
