Carnival Cruiselines is already the best value in cruising, and now they have introduced the Early Saver Program.  It’s a new Special Rate that rewards consumers who book early with the lowest rate guaranteed!  If, after booking, you find a lower Carnival advertised fare for the same sailing and accommodations, Carnival will issue the difference in an onboard credit.  This policy is in effect for up to two business days prior to sailing.

In addition, you also have the added benefits that come with booking early - wide availability of staterooms, dates, and destinations, and a deposit that is refundable up to the final payment date! 

It is never too early to start planning your cruise, and now with Carnival it is beneficial that you do!  I am an Accredited Cruise Counsellor, and I’d love to help you choose YOUR perfect cruise!

Wave season it’s here!  It’s the beginning of the cruise industry’s year, and they mark it in style by offering fantastic promotions including free upgrades, on board credits and reduced deposits.  If you have been thinking of taking a cruise, now is the time to book it!  

Booking a cruise is different than an all inclusive vacation, where last minute sell offs abound.  Booking early allows you to take advantage of specials and also means choosing from the best cabins in each category.  There is no risk, since deposits are refundable until final payment (a few weeks before sailing), and if the cost of the cruise does drop before that time, we can always adjust the price.

Also, I am an Accredited Cruise Counsellor and can help find you the best deal on the ship most suited to your needs and preferences!

So, WHAT ABOUT THOSE DEALS!?!  Here are some of the cruise promos that are being offered this month: (more…)
