Starting life in the late 1960’s the Royal Caribbean now stands as the world’s second largest cruise line and also one of the most popular. It started due to the fact a consortium of Norwegian ship owners wanted to get involved in the rapidly expanding American market and that is exactly what they have done. Its first ship debuted in 1970 and since then they have prided themselves on introducing new shipboard innovations. By the early 1990’s the Royal Caribbean moved into their next challenge, which involved designing ships for use outside its traditional cruising grounds in the Caribbean. This challenge was then met in 1995 with the introduction of Legend of the Seas, a spectacular new ship that brought Royal Caribbean into a whole new era.

 The Royal Caribbean cruise line now visits over a hundred ports of call in some of the world’s most stunning locations. These locations include the rugged beauty that is so often associated with Alaska and Canada through to the appeal of Europe and the luxuriant landscapes of Mexico, the Caribbean and Hawaii as well as the Panama Canal, Bermuda and the Bahamas. This particular cruise line isn’t however only popular due to its vast list of locations it is also down to the diverse activities that they ships have to offer, so what are these activities? And is there something to suit all tastes?

 Rock climbing, mini golf and ice skating as well as swimming pools and FlowRider® Surf Park are just some of the activities that holiday makers are able to take part in. It is important to have variety when it comes to activities in order to cater for everyone’s needs, plus on top of this you also get to take part in shore excursions that occur across a vast array of destinations. These leisure facilities and entertainment also go on throughout the day and even late into the night

 Staying on the subject of entertainment, all good cruises need a decent selection of both daytime and evening entertainment. On a Royal Caribbean cruise you are generally presented with two main types of evening entertainment. The ships tend to put on glitzy Vegas style production shows, which have been named as some of the most impressive among cruise lines. As well as this they also host passenger participation games that allow guests to get a bit more involved. These two examples represent the main forms of entertainment but as I previously mentioned there needs to be variety, which is why there is also a wide range of musical entertainment available in a number of public rooms. These ships even have parades and “street performers” in the Royal Promenade, which is a unique entertainment feature that can’t be seen on any other ships.

 The ships that make up the Royal Caribbean cruise line were voted the best family ships available so what makes this particular line stand out from others? Well one factor is they are considered to be the most diverse as they cater the most for everyone, where as other lines tend to focus on a particular age group or section of people. For example the NCL line considers itself to be a ‘freestyle’ line. This generally means you will have to undertake aspects such as making dinner reservations every day. Another example is Carnival cruise. They are an example of a cruise line that is aimed at a particular crowd of people; they aim at a younger crowd as they have more of a party atmosphere, where as the Princess line leans more towards an older crowd.

 It is important that when you are considering this type of holiday that you look into the different cruise lines that are available to you, including the Royal Caribbean cruise line, who I genuinely feel you will find what you are looking for with.

For many of us we wait all year, and save all year, to go on holiday and when we do go on holiday we like to make it worth while, which is why so many of us now opt to go on cruises. However with aspects such as the current economic climate there has never been such a need to find means of saving money whilst on holiday and cruises are no exception. So just how do you go about saving money whilst you are on a cruise?

 Believe it or not if you are thinking of booking a cruise you can save money from the moment you book through to when you are actually on your cruise, so let’s start with when you are booking your cruise. Either book really early or very late as either way you could typically find yourself saving between 10 and 40 percent. When you are booking you may wish to think about enlisting the help of a travel agent as they will be able to gather information from you that they can use as a means of gaining you the best deal from a cruise line. What will help you on top of this is the fact that these cruise lines are always offering you discounts for particular things such as discounts for people on their honeymoon, family reunions, senior citizens and frequent cruisers as well as groups and military personnel.

 Before you do decide to go on a cruise with one of these travel agents it is important that you look at the other options open to you, to do this successfully you should get yourself on the Internet. This is a great place for you to shop around and gather tips etc. By doing this you will ensure that you are getting the best deal possible, also you are more likely to discover deals that are operating at the moment, so keep your options open. 

 When you are booking your cruise you should look into the different cruise lines to see who offers you the best options and deals. As well as this you need to take on board aspects such as your cabin. The cheapest cabins available will be those inside the ship, i.e. the ones with no balcony or windows. This isn’t exactly something that you should concern yourself with too much for the fact you will unlikely be spending most of your time in your cabin anyway. You probably won’t be in your room unless you are sleeping so does it really matter too much what type of cabin you stay in?

 One of the biggest ways to save money when it comes to a cruise however is through the destination you choose and the time of year you choose to go. With cruises a lot of people automatically think that they can only go to places such as the Caribbean or Alaska etc, this however isn’t the case. Most, if not all cruise lines now operate trips such as European River Cruises and Transatlantic Cruises. These are cheaper alternatives that offer you the same stunning views and scenery as well as ensure that you can still partake in activities you would on larger cruises. If however you have your heart set on a destination such as Alaska all is not lost. Opting for the early or late season months such as May, early June or September will offer you some huge savings, in fact you could be saving as much as half the money you would pay to visit places such as Alaska in July or August.

 Another major saving comes within sightseeing/excursions. With shore excursions chances are you could have eight to eleven hours to explore. However depending on how close the port is to the city you could end up spending hours travelling and this could have cost you a lot of money when you booked the tour. This is why in many cases you shouldn’t book your shore excursions as part of your cruise; you should make the arrangements yourself. By doing this you can use a variety of modes of transport, getting you to the city quicker, instead of using whatever the cruise line/travel agent laid on, also you will find that you enjoy the experience a lot more.

 By organising your shore excursion yourself you can go wherever you choose and decide how you want to spend your time. You will be saving yourself money doing this but you will also be providing yourself with a much more authentic experience as well.

 If you are hoping to book a cruise in the near future then my advice to you is to keep aspects such as the above in mind. The more ways in which you can save money the better and by doing it in ways such as the above you won’t be taking away any of the fun or enjoyment out of your holiday but you will have peace of mind knowing you haven’t overspent.

Cumbria Cruises has been privileged to work with some of the most unique cruise providers, among them - Ocean Village, P&O Cruises, and Cunard. For those of you who are planning to go on a cruise this year, we have compared the premier cruise offers from the above companies.  

Cunard, established by Sir Samuel Cunard, is dedicated to maintaining the majestic opulence of the first transatlantic liners. History meets modernity here, as you go on a cruise with the company that has been in operation for over 150 years. If you are aboard of Queen Elizabeth, choose between an afternoon white-glove tea service and ballroom dancing at the Queen’s Room, or entertain yourself to the Caribbean beats and hip tunes at the Yacht Club - both are state-of-the-art experiences. Those who are fascinated by the Titanic story and movie will surely enjoy travelling on Queen Elizabeth the Second for just the right reason, although with much more security. Many a famous face has stepped on board of the ship, including Her Majesty and the Emperor of Japan, David Bowie and Dame Vera Lynn, only to enjoy her effortless luxury, soft glow, and impeccable yet unobtrusive service. The restaurant menus boast mouth-watering dishes, and you are surely to be amazed at the exquisite wine list.

The story of relaxed, elegant sophistication of Cunard liners continues aboard of Queen Victoria and Queen Mary, with mahogany decor, silver service, diffused lighting, and carefree atmosphere. On all ships you are treated to live performances, exquisite healthcare packages, Internet facilities, and well-stocked libraries. Depending on your accommodation, you receive a daily newspaper, daily basket of fresh fruit, a carefully attended bar room service, with an attentive butler at hand at all times. Queen Victoria is children-friendly, with play areas for kids staying open until midnight.

Cunard liners criss-cross the seas and oceans, and you can well relive the awe of the 19th c. travellers if you do a world tour with Cunard. Upon leaving Southampton, the ships go in all directions, particularly to the popular Caribbean, Mediterranean, and European destinations. The newest addition to the Cunard fleet is Queen Elizabeth. The ship is to go into operation in October 2010, and the bookings for her Maiden Season have recently started.

The stately, grand experience of Cunard is carefully challenged by Ocean Village.  For those of you who are hip and modern, and prefer bikini sunbathing to donning an evening gown for a ballroom dance, Ocean Village is certainly the choice. The name says it all: for the time of your cruise you are relocating to a friendly resort, complete with jewellery shops, fragrance boutiques, and a casino.

In addition to the open deck pools and Jacuzzis, Ocean Village is very children-friendly, having a kids’ pool, a night nursery, and a hideout area for teenage travellers. Inspired by the Caribbean cultures, both original Ocean Village cruise and Ocean Village 2 provide a vast range of unforgettable experiences. The original Ocean Village ship boasts luminous and trendy interiors, with colourful neon works, however Ocean Village 2 takes it one step higher, with more chic and more services aboard. There you can indulge in a sauna, a steam room, take a dive in the ice fountain, or relax with the help of Hammam therapy, hot stone therapy, or Thai yoga. Ocean Village takes seriously its ambition to make your holiday as carefree as possible, stacking their on-board shops with healthcare products, including sun lotions. On the Ocean Village ship, you certainly can sunbathe to your utter pleasure, and sip on cocktails or exercise in the gym in between the sunbathing sessions.

Cunard and Ocean Village cruises are a perfect choice for those of you who want to enjoy their life at the open sea, conveniently forgetting about the existence of the sweet home on the native shores. If, though, a ship is but a vehicle for you on which to sail for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, then look no further than P&O Cruises. Their personalised and attentive service will surely surprise you, but this shipping company is dedicated to attending to your needs before you even realise that you have them. To that end, the P&O Cruises staff delivers to you a daily ship’s newspaper, offers a dedicated children’s pack for family travellers, remembers your favourite drinks, and diligently watches that you do not have an empty glass at the dinner table.

Still, it is the destinations and carefully planned onshore excursions that make going on a cruise with P&O Cruises so unique. You can make up your mind about those by just looking at the newest additions to their already long list of off-board activities. You can go on a Breton strawberry farm or visit the Diamond Factory and Museum in Amsterdam. Among the tried-and-loved activities are the glacier trekking in Norway, a visit to the Hermitage Museum in Russia, pizza-baking in Naples, scuba diving at the Grand Cayman, and sightseeing on the Isle of Capri. The indie travellers can do their own tours in Italy, Tunisia, Greece, and Spain.

Back on board, you can satisfy your hunger with the exquisite creations from the renowned chefs, and if you do not feel like leaving the ship, Tate Modern and Tate Britain speakers will tease your artistic and intellectual taste buds. P&O sails to the Far East and Australia, and organises a convenient fly-cruises to the Caribbean. If you are looking for a fresh, modern and somewhat maverick cruise experience, P&O Cruises is surely the best.

For more information on P&O Cruises and other major cruise lines, please visit Cumbria Cruises.

Let’s explore three of the top cruise lines in the United States which are Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and Princess Cruise Line. First, let’s start with more information about the Carnival Cruise Line. Carnival Cruise Line is often known as the “fun ships”. This cruise line offers a wide array of fun, practically endless activities to choose from, and therefore it definitely lives up to its nickname! A Carnival cruise is a great choice for upbeat, happy people who are looking to have a wonderful time.

The Royal Caribbean Cruise line offers many exciting vacation packages! However, they offer one especially great cruise that you may want to consider.

It’s a vacation package that combines a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida with a cruise to the Bahamas.

Many people are interested in Carnival Cruises Deals because they are so wonderful and can still be affordable. What one should do is visit websites that will give them information and allow them to book cabins and tickets before the cruise is due to board. In some cases, cruisers should book their tickets well before the cruise. Some even book as far back as five or six months. If it is a short journey you are going on then booking three months before should be fine. By booking your tickets early you won’t have to worry about cabin availability when the time comes. You know that you can just take your place on the cruise.

The carnival might ask for a non-refundable deposit to ensure your place on the cruise, but if you really want to go on this cruise then that shouldn’t be a problem for you. However, you should only do this if you are 100% sure that this is the cruise you want to go on. By paying the deposit you will have to go on that cruise, otherwise you will lose your deposit. You never know what can happen in those 3, 5 or 6 months. You may find a cruise that you think suits you better, or it is cheaper. So unless you are sure that this is the cruise you want and no other cruise can take its place, then feel free to pay your deposit and jump aboard when the time has come.

Deals like these are great for people who like to plan their outings in advance and are committed enough to make sure that they keep checking on the cruise and making sure that nothing has changed. However, if you are someone who is not really the plan ahead type and you prefer to do things at the last minute, there are Carnival Cruises Deals websites that email you once a week with the most recent and affordable cruises if you sign up with them. You can also get discounts based on your age and occupation, and in some cases you will receive discounts if you are over the age of 55 or if you are a firefighter, in the police force, military or a teacher.

There are many websites that have great deals on Carnival Cruises Deals, even if you are booking during the off-season. Some have deals that will suit your exact needs. A great idea for someone who is looking for deals like this is to use a travel agent. In many cases an independent travel agent will be able to help you find exactly what it is that you are looking for and they will look for the most affordable deals for you. They normally also bargain with the cruise controller for cheaper rates, otherwise if they can’t do that they can bargain for extras like free shore excursion or an upgraded cabin. Agents find that bargaining and negotiating works wonders when their clients are interested in those cruises that have prices a little over the top.

You can take a short cruise on one of 12 ships from 12 North American home ports. A short cruise gives passengers a good idea of what cruising is about so they like it. Carnival has a short New York Cruise to know where you can enjoy excellent service in a relaxing atmosphere. You’ll be back to the New York City Port in a few days.

A Carnival 2 day cruise is perfect if you don’t have time to take a longer cruise. This means you can take a short cruise over the weekend and be home or back at work by Monday. Smelling the sea air, eating fantastic food and watching great entertainment for two days is a nice way to refresh yourself from the routine of every day life. You can exercise at state-of-the-art fitness facilities, go swimming in the pool or get pampered at the spa.
