Cruising the Caribbean By Heather Watt  |
| |
 A cruise vacation can be the perfect balance of fun, sun, and relaxation. We know you'd love to stay with your sister and her five kids for five extra days, but the best way to start the new year is a getaway, and what better way to escape from reality than to cruise the Caribbean for five days! You can enjoy the best of the amenities on the cruise and see some beautiful places.
Amenities
After bathing in the Caribbean sun while sipping a margarita, you may need something to give you a jolt and cool you down. There are always pools to prevent guests from diving into that inviting water they're sailing through.
-Entertainment is stereotypically Las Vegas style shows, but there may also be musical guests, lecturers, seminars, and cooking classes. There are even cruises for singles who want to meet new people.
-Restaurants range from classy and casual dining, and accommodate the simplest palate to the most delicate.
-Games and activities to relax include a library, game rooms, a spa, salon, and fitness center.
-There are specific cruises for families with young children, such as the Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean, but most offer childcare and tons of fun activities for them, including a skating rink, arcade room, or a rock-climbing wall.
-You'll have everything you need to keep you connected to the real world, should you so choose, including satellite TV, movie theaters, Internet cafe, and even shopping!
-Wheelchair accessible rooms and medical services are always available.
Destinations
There are departure ports in 22 cities within the United States in a variety of climates. Your destinations can stay within the U.S. or touch land in Mexico, Jamaica, or The Bahamas. You can cruise the Caribbean from Carnival Ecstasy Cruises port city of Galveston, Texas to Cozumel, Mexico. If you want to embrace the winter, take a 10-night Celebrity Cruise Tour to witness the unforgettable beauty of snow-kissed Alaska. Cruising the icy waters is the best way to see the glaciers and mountains.
Prices
Most cruise trips range from 5 to 15 days. As with a hotel, you can choose a double room or a suite with views ranging from oceanview to balcony. A four-night cruise for two adults can be as little as $2000, including airfare, food, and entertainment. (In fact, airfare is usually more than the cost of the cruise, unfortunately.) Additional pampering such as spa treatments is up to your budget. Kids under 12 are usually half price as well as Seniors (over 55).
Start booking the vacation of a lifetime now while there are still rooms available! After you've experienced a wondrous cruise getaway, you'll want to make it a tradition! |
