Kids sail free on select Disney cruises

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Cheap cruises
The only thing better than a cheap cruise is a free cruise, and that’s just what kids get on select Disney cruises.

For a limited time, kids ages 12 and under sail for free when they stay with parents in select staterooms on 3-night Disney Cruise Line sailings departing January 22 through May 28, 2009. Parents just pay for kids’ taxes and fees.

Disney offers cheap cruises for adults, with a 3-night Bahamas cruise starting at $349. The trip includes stops in Nassau and Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island. At Castaway Cay, travelers can enjoy a beach barbeque, go snorkeling or parasailing, or relax with a massage in a beach cabana.

Onboard, kids, teens and adults will find plenty to do. There’s a kids pool and water slide and supervised activities for children age 3-12; volleyball and basketball courts; and an adults-only pool with two whirlpools. At night, families have their choice of shows: comedy, musicals — even a ventriloquist show.

Cheap cruises
If you’re wishing for a tropical getaway this winter, put one of these cheap Caribbean cruises on your list.

Cruises can be a great way to combine the ease and relaxation of an all-inclusive vacation with the excitement of visiting several different islands. And travel deals on a variety of Caribbean cruises mean that there’s an affordable option for everyone.

This Seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise won’t feel like a cheap cruise, with ten restaurants, a spa, champagne bar and much more. But book an interior room for the February 14 sailing, and you’ll pay just $499. This cruise on the Norwegian Dawn includes stops in St. Thomas, the British Virgin Islands and a private island in the Bahamas.

On this Seven-night Western Caribbean cruise, you can dine at 12 restaurants, swim with dolphins in Roatan, Honduras; explore the coral reef off the coast of Cozumel and much more. All of that comes with a cheap cruise price tag of $479 for an interior room for the February 22 sailing.
