to Cruise"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Cruises are great vacations.\u00a0 They go from destination to destination carrying you along in comfort often for a passage price that is less than the airfare to get to any one of the destinations you visit.\u00a0 On a basis of activities and food on offer versus price a cruise is a great value.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that\u2019s its cheap. \u00a0The best way to think of cruises is as an a-la-carte vacation, and like an a-la-carte meal it\u2019s easy to spend too much on expensive and indulgent options that leave you weighed down with more than you need, and poorer.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are some tips to make saving up for your cruise, saving when you book your cruise, and saving while on your cruise easier.\u00a0 If you research thoroughly, plan wisely, and stick to a budget you can have an amazing vacation, and still have money to spend when it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration:

The stop for coffee or breakfast on the way to work.\u00a0 Eating out instead of packing your\u00a0lunch and having a dinner at home.\u00a0 These aren\u2019t huge costs, but they do add up.\u00a0 Planning your meals and cooking for yourself is a great way to save money.\u00a0 It is also a good way to eat healthier, and helps you stay in shape.\u00a0 It\u2019s a two-for-one savings of your health and your finances really, and it can help you save up for a cruise while alleviating\u00a0that nagging fear of swim wear.<\/p>\n<p>Phone apps and other digital time wasters are another expense most of us could stand\u00a0to do without.\u00a0 You need to ask yourself before you buy the next bit of paid DLC if you really\u00a0want it, or if you&#8217;d rather have a\u00a0Mai Tai while looking out at the ocean over a frothy wake instead.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to raise funds for your cruise is to get rid of some of the mostly forgotten items you have in your home.\u00a0 Many closets, garages, and attics are filled with items you could stand to part with, and that would be useful to someone else.\u00a0 This is another twofer where you get a cleaner house, and a cruise in the bargain.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Booking Your Cruise<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a

save when the time comes\u00a0to book your cruise.\u00a0 One way is to wait until six to three weeks before you the cruise you\u2019ve had your eyes on leaves to book.\u00a0 An empty stateroom is little more than a waste of fuel for a cruise line, and often they\u2019re willing to start \u00a0booking rooms for a bargain price as the departure time nears.\u00a0 The downside is that you\u2019re accepting accommodations that everyone else passed on.\u00a0 Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the room you\u2019ll be staying in.\u00a0 If you\u2019re the sort who isn\u2019t planning to spend any time in your stateroom this probably isn&#8217;t a problem.<\/p>\n<p>The more discerning cruiser on a budget may want the stateroom of their choice, but only if its a price they can comfortably afford.\u00a0 The best way to get deals like this is to get involved with the cruising community in general, and an individual cruise line\u2019s community in particular.<\/p>\n<p>There are cruisers with decades of experience taking vacations at sea, and that\u00a0experience has taught them the ins-and-outs of the cruising.\u00a0 They\u2019ll have insights into what is actually a good value for the price, and what seemingly good deals are just marketing ploys.\u00a0 They can direct you to the best deals.<\/p>\n<p>The season you plan to cruise in matters too.\u00a0 Prices are at their highest during the summer months.\u00a0 In the depths of winter cruise ships leave the colder ports for warmer seas.\u00a0 In between is what is known as the shoulder season.\u00a0 A period where temperatures are still warm enough to enjoy a day on the beach, but kids and college students are back in school.\u00a0 September and October are excellent times to take a cruise because of the savings.<\/p>\n<p>Florida ports and Port Canaveral specifically are\u00a0home to cruise ships all year round, and some years the warm weather lasts well into December .\u00a0 This makes for what is potentially a very long shoulder season with cruises that can be booked for a song from September through March. \u00a0The caveat is that no one can predict the weather, and you will have to be flexible in order to have fun on your cruise.<\/p>\n<p>The weather and other factors can interfere with your travel plans. \u00a0Creating the possibility that you might miss the cruise you&#8217;ve spent so much time and effort saving up for. \u00a0A cruise missed due to factors outside of anyone&#8217;s control\u2014your\u2019s or anyone else\u2019s\u2014is generally nonrefundable, and a credit towards\u00a0another cruise isn&#8217;t that much of a recompense\u00a0if you&#8217;ve spent a great deal of time saving and planning for your cruise.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent this you need to plan to arrive a day early whether you&#8217;re flying, or driving to meet the cruise ship. \u00a0It allows you the time to deal with any unforeseen delays without missing your cruise. \u00a0It can actually add to your cruise. \u00a0Dinner at a steakhouse, or an evening by the pool might be just the recharge you need after a long day of traveling. \u00a0Consider this: a Go Port <a

several expenses on your cruise that can be reduced, or even eliminated with enough foresight.\u00a0 Laundry and dry cleaning services aboard are costly.\u00a0 Finding out if there is a self-service laundry option at your hotel and using it can save you money.\u00a0 Packing with a plan to do your washing in port after your cruise can save you even more.\u00a0 Other things like making sure you bring along enough SD cards, or another way to save your photos can keep you from having to buy them aboard the ship.\u00a0 Planning to share your photos online while in port will keep you from having to buy an expensive\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goport.com\/cruise-blog\/the-internet-at-sea-cruise-internet\/\">internet package<\/a>, or save you from exorbitant roaming charges from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goport.com\/cruise-blog\/smartphones-at-sea\/\">cellular carrier<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Excursions offer another opportunity to\u00a0save with advanced planning.\u00a0 For your convenience cruise lines offer the option to book excursions through their website, but with an additional fee for the service.\u00a0 Some excursions you can book on your own through the operator\u2019s website, others you can find a cheaper alternative for. \u00a0The internet is an invaluable resource that can help you discern legitimate tour operations who take you to something you want to see or do, from those that just take your money. \u00a0Finally, with enough research you can ditch the tour guide all together, and go sightseeing\u00a0on your own. \u00a0All of which is much cheaper than what the cruise lines offer.\u00a0 It leaves you more money to spend on board, or on whatever you want.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">On Board<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a

your ship the same convenience for a cost principle applies.\u00a0 Often, you\u2019ll be able to save by simply finding out where the appropriate venue is, and taking yourself to it.\u00a0 After midnight both Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Lines charge for room service.\u00a0 Those that find themselves afflicted with the midnight munchies can save themselves the fee by making their way to one of the\u00a0all-night eateries.\u00a0 Drinks delivered to you cost more than the same drinks picked up at the bar yourself.\u00a0 There is also the added benefit that the ability to make it to the bar serves as a handy\u00a0test to decide whether or not you should have another.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goport.com\/snooze-park-cruise\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
