Princess opens Alaska 2011 cruises

TravelWeens — Sat, 15 May 2010 16:23:13 +0000

One of my favorite cruises I’ve ever taken was a roundtrip Princess Cruise from San Francisco to Alaska. We sailed along the Pacific coast from California up to Alaska’s Inside Passage. The views were just astounding (and we went late in the season).

Princess has just opened up Alaska bookings for 2011. Now is the best time to reserve your room on board the most breathtaking adventure to the Alaska wilderness!

These fantastic Alaska cruises start at $649 per person!

That last W-2 has come in! You are finally ready to do those taxes, and — SURPRISE! You have a huge refund coming! Why not turn that refund into a cruise vacation?

When I did my taxes this year, I found out that I gave the government way too much money in 2009. Thankfully, they plan on giving me that money back. It’s going right into my cruise fund.

So, really the question is where would you like to go with your tax refund? There are all sorts of deals available nowadays.

Royal Caribbean recently lowered their rates on some of their spring voyages. Norwegian Cruise Lines is offering free upgrades and other bonus specials. Carnival Cruise Lines has just finished renovating the Carnival Fascination.

There are also some great deals on some upcoming voyages to the Caribbean, Europe and Alaska!

If you’ve never been to Alaska, let me tell you from personal experience, you are really missing out on one of the most beautiful landscapes the United States has to offer.

My wife and both traveled to Alaska at the end of 2006, and we were taken aback by how gorgeous everything was. Have you seen the show “Northern Exposure?” It’s almost exactly like that. The people are very laid back, and the glaciers continue to amaze!

Fuel Surcharges Burn Out!

TravelWeens — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 00:29:21 +0000

It may seem like the economy has hit rock bottom, but for travel lovers, there has never been a better time to book a cruise. Most cruise lines have announced plans to do away with the ridiculous fuel surcharges they implemented earlier this year.

When oil prices were more than $160 per barrel, it made sense to the cruise lines to try to recoup the cost of operating their ships through this surcharge. Still, anything called a “surcharge” is never popular with travelers. Now that oil is down to $45 per barrel, the excuse the cruise lines used to raise prices is no longer applicable.

For most cruise lines, this means cruise lovers won’t be paying these dumb fees starting in 2009. It could return in the future if the price of oil goes back up, but let’s hope that the cruise lines come to their senses and realize that hidden fees and surprise surcharges are NOT what their guests want.

Princess still has Alaska cruises available for the 2009 season. Be sure to book your cruise as soon as possible so you don’t miss out!
