LOL…after the Carnival fiasco, I have to wonder if other cruise lines are offering steep discounts to lure customers to them. Having been on a Carnival cruise I would not go back with them, but I would try another cruise line though.
I went on a Caribbean cruise a number of years ago. Hands-down it was the greatest holiday I have ever been on. However, beware! The food is so fabulous that I gained 12 pounds in 10 days (and that was with a daily trip to the ship’s gym!).
Some of these prices seem way too good to be true. It’s awakened my skeptical side, haha.
wow! this really is helpful in reaching my goals!
I’ve never been on a cruise. Thanks for all the details.
I wish I could afford one of these trips. They sound like good deals!
The prices for the Treasure Island in Vegas with tickets to Cirque du Soleil are great. I’m considering this. Thanks for sharing.
i have always wondered what it would be like to go on a cruise! sounds so fun!!
I would love to take advantage of that Las Vegas deal…some of these prices are just amazing!
