Cruise With Carnival to the Caribbean


By Junaid Ashraf Mianoor


Carnival Cruise Line is the world's largest and most popular cruise line with twenty-one "Fun Ships" travelling via special and affordable roundtrip tours from three to seventeen days to the Eastern, Southern, and Western Caribbean among five other picturesque foreign destinations. Possessing a festive-yet-casual reputation, Carnival offers multiple choices in dining, entertainment and activity. Each Fun Ship has at least three swimming pools, a full gambling casino, on-board duty free shopping, "Nautica Spa" health and fitness service, and a complimentary fleetwide children's program known as "Camp Carnival". A daylong line up of activities for all ages enable Carnival to be the sole cruise line with the capacity to provide a Vacation Guarantee to every guest who comes aboard.

Cruising is ideal for solo travelers because it is so easy to meet other people. Nonetheless, couples, friends, honeymooners, families, and business associates take cruises. The Carnival is like a floating resort with all the deluxe hotels have to offer. You can, breathe in the sea air, bask in the sun, or watch the ever-changing seascape. A reservation for fine dining at the dining room awaits you at all times. Nevertheless, you may opt to enjoy a laid-back buffet-style meal at "Seaview Bistros" or the 24-hour pizzerias. Nightlife is also possible on board with the presence of high-energy dance clubs and the sing-a-long piano bar. For relaxation, you may indulge in their spa that offers massages, loofah treatment, hairstyling, sauna, nail treatment, soothing masks, and even micro-facelifts. If you simply want a quiet private moment or savor a romantic night with your loved one, feel free to stroll along the deck under the starry night.

Carnival cabins are twice larger than those of any other cruise line's cabins are. They have a balcony, twin beds convertible to king sizes, sitting area, dressing room with vanity area, walk-in closet, wall safe, refrigerator, a private bath, television, and VCR. For more comfort, there is wall-to-wall carpeting and cheerful indirect lighting, and a 24-hour room service.

For kids aged two to fifteen, entertainment covers exploring their "FunShip", enjoying all kinds of games and contests, engaging in workshops on interesting hobbies, attending parties, participating in talent shows, arts, crafts, watching movies, and swimming. Every activity is under the friendly supervision of Camp Carnival counselors. Each counselor are either college-educated, has child-care expertise, or both. They make sure your children are safe, busy, and having a very enjoyable experience.
In addition, Carnival offers wedding packages suitable to every budget. Knowledgeable and approachable wedding coordinators will handle every detail necessary for the occasion. Either weddings are at beautifully designed lounges onboard or Carnival will cater to your choice of breathtaking locations.

Throughout this warranted break from your busy or monotonous life, your attention will remain fixated as though by a spell. Nothing could be as memorable as the pleasure gained on these tranquil yet enlivening and wondrous days with the persons you so dearly love. Carnival intends for your voyage to be as special and meaningful as you are to them so they offer the perfect holiday within your reach.

There are many cruise lines in which one could choose from to go on a Caribbean cruise. However, the best Caribbean cruise can be found with the Royal Caribbean cruise line. Frequent cruisers say that this is the best cruise line in the world. They offer cruises all over the world and each cruise is a delight and an adventure.

The Royal Caribbean cruise line began in 1968 when three Norwegian shipping companies came together to form a cruise line. Their first ship was the Song of Norway which was ready for service by 1970. By 1972 they had three large cruise ships offering seven and fourteen day cruises to the Caribbean.

The Royal Caribbean company was growing so fast that on one of their ships, the Sun Viking, they added an 85 foot section in the middle increasing the passenger capacity from seven hundred to one thousand. This was quite an undertaking and had never been done before. They did the same to another ship and by 1982 the Song of America enters service with the capability of holding up to two thousand passengers.

By 1986 Royal Caribbean had firmly established itself as the best Caribbean cruise line in the Caribbean. It wasn't long before they expanded their business to include cruises all around the world. Today they are the most popular and well known cruise line in the world. They remain dedicated to providing good service to all their cruises.

Royal Caribbean offers the best Caribbean cruise with great accommodations, exclusive stops, and fabulous excursions. On board you will enjoy some of the top chefs in the entire world as well as spa treatments and many other amenities and activities for all ages.

Do you want to take a Caribbean cruise but want to find the best deal? Many cruise lines offer great deals so you can experience the Caribbean for less. Most people only check into cruise lines they are familiar with such as royal Caribbean, which is a wonderful and popular cruise line. However there are many other ships that also offer a great Caribbean cruise deal so don't overlook them.

The trick to finding the best Caribbean cruise deal is in the timing. For instance, if you wanted to cruise during the busiest time of year you will find that it will also be the most expensive time of year. To find the best price check out different dates and compare prices. Try to find the dates that cost the least to save you money. This may take some time, but be patient, it is well worth it. Sometimes you can even find fantastic prices by booking a cruise at the last minute as this is the time that cruise lines are trying to fill all the cabins to take a full ship. The good news is that the Caribbean usually has good weather all year long.

There are many avenues to finding the best Caribbean cruise deal such as through travel agents, calling cruise lines, or searching online. Any of these options are great for finding good deals for you; however, timing is still the key. So do your homework and be flexible and you will find the best Caribbean cruise deal to fit your budget.

Spend your vacation dollars wisely with help from Caribbean Cruise Adventure and find the best Caribbean Cruise Deal available.

Fun Cruises - 8 Valid Reasons For You To Consider Cruising



By Abhishek Agarwal Platinum Quality Author


Any idea about what a cruise is? You may think that it may refer to a Hollywood actor named Tom Cruise, correct?

Well, you are very wrong. (Is this any game show?) But, cruise vacation is enhancing the popularity over families, groups and individuals who would want to relax in some way.

Do you really want to learn more about cruising? Read this article and learn what it's and why people prefer cruising on their holidays.

Cruise refers to voyages over few days or much more. It's done over ships, sails and those powerboats, which are ideal for trips continuously for 3-4 days.

But, if the cruise would last for one week or more, the travel would include various destinations over longer distances, strong-built and powerful cruise ships will be preferred.

History

Idea of cruising got started after a guy called Joshua Slocum, retired sea captain, who circumnavigated the globe from 1895 to 1898.

Although during those times, going trips around the world was merely impossible, He rebuilt his sloop which is 37-foot named it Spray and sailed it single-handedly around the globe.

Board one ship for VALUE

Some cruise packages are inclusive of all the things which you need on-board. The cabin where you would stay, the dining needs, and the entertainments on-board, and things which would make you feel like you're just on home-everything in the price of a single one.

Take one cruise for the sake of ROMANCE

If you're on cruise with your husband or wife, you may enjoy some secluded beaches on all stop over, dining over the balcony seeing clear water, and spa's for 2. You may also have one romantic date in a main dining area in evenings.

Take one cruise for CUISINES

Be ready for gaining seven pounds every week with some delicious delicacies to give on-board. Dishes would be served with various exotic elements and cooking styles.

There are good old side foods like pizzas and ice creams and the spa cuisines for some healthy alternatives. You may also dine some small bistros or some casual eateries.

Take some cruise for its VARIETY

Different options are there before you-150 ships, 1800 travel ports and wide array of places for visiting and stuff to do. See the ways from which you can generate one perfect cruise for yourself.

Choose a cruise for its ACTIVITIES

You might be dealing with some activities for keeping you occupied when you are over-board. There are sports and site seeing activities, some cultural presentations, tours which are led by selected educators and historians, or you might simply lie by the pool and start relaxing.

The show continues during night. You may enjoy a dance revolution, music presentations as those which you see in the Broadway, try the luck at some gaming stations, or spend the evening gazing the great wide sky in these ship's balcony.

Select a cruise for its SIMPLICITY

Unlike backpacking where you must have a travel map for locating hotels where you might possibly be or some restaurants where you might dine, all you require is one travel agent for handling all details.

When you are over-board, almost every expense of yours is already paid-you should enjoy having it.

Select a cruise for your FAMILY

It's a friendly- family vacation. Child-oriented activities would keep your kids busy and very happy while you're getting some nice time alone.

Select a cruise for your SATISFACTION

Regardless of budget, cruise lines should make all packages offering first-call service round the clock. Hence your satisfaction guaranteed very much indeed.

Take a cruise on the next vacation holiday.

Onboard the Holland America Westerdam - My Recent Cruise


By Denise Stone




My husband and I just cruised with Holland America on the Westerdam. First, let me tell you this ship is has been very popular with my clients, I am a travel agent that specializes in cruises. Last spring, I had a client that sailed in the Caribbean on the Westerdam. She loved it so much, she turned right around and booked it for an Alaskan cruise. She loved it just as much the second time. Now, me myself, I typically like to try a different ship each time I cruise. But I have to tell you, I would definitely cruise on the Westerdam again.

What a beautiful ship. The Holland America Westerdam is 4 years old but nearly spotless. Her decor is beautiful...I loved the crystal ship model rotating in the chandelier of the Atrium, right across from the Pinnacle Grill. Our room was a typical balcony stateroom but it was very well appointed compared to some of the other ships we have sailed on. There was plenty of storage space for all the clothes and gear we brought. We appreciated the full bathtub rather than just a shower! We also got a look at the suites onboard this ship. They were very nice. I loved the large seating areas, enormous bathrooms (for a cruise ship) with double sinks and the spacious balconies.

What did we enjoy onboard? Well, let me name a few things.....first and foremost we enjoyed the before/after dinner melodies of the string trio, the Moonlight Strings. They played, in the Explorer's Lounge, each evening from about 6:30-11:00. This trio from Hungary played classics, recent music and even a little Disney music when a child was in the lounge. The music was enjoyable and the lounge chairs were very cozy so we were never in a hurry to leave. It was a great place to relax with an after dinner drink. They were great!

We also really enjoyed the pool areas. The Lido pool has a wonderful sliding dome cover so regardless of the weather, it is good swimming/relaxing weather anytime. Also, the two pools onboard were larger than most we have seen on cruise ships.

We found ourselves in the Queen's Lounge and Culinary Arts Center frequently. The most enjoyable event here was the Culinary Art's event "Chef Andreas Turns Up the Heat". We had fun watching Chef Brad (the Pinnacle Grill Chef was called in when his boss got pulled into a meeting), cook a Mediterranean Chicken dinner & Austrian Apple Strudel. The setup was great.....the kitchen is setup like Emeril's and there are a couple large screens with live shots looking directly down at the counter and stove top so you have a good view of everything the chef is doing. Chef Brad was entertaining and in the end, he shared samples of the Strudel with everyone in the audience. We also got to bring home the recipe cards! I can't wait to try the Mediterranean Chicken dish although I am not so sure about trying to tackle the Strudel. That looks like a little more work than I am willing to do. Also in the Queen's Lounge, there were daily movies, all recent! One evening, we watched a very funny Westerdam Superstar contest of karaoke singers...some very bad an some surprisingly good. The room was packed, standing room only, and we laughed hysterically at times.

And the library....also very different than most of the other ships I have been on. The Exploration's Cafe is combined with the Crow's Nest Lounge forward on deck 10 of the Westerdam. This library was wonderful.....it was large, well organized and had a great selection. It also included the internet access area. The coffee bar was great and the views were wonderful! One morning, even though we had a great balcony to sit on back at our room, my husband and I sat in some very comfortable lounge chairs basking in the warm sun from the large windows, and relaxing with a good book. We really appreciated the down time.

Oh, and did I mention the Pinnacle Grill....scrumptious! The wait staff was attentive while not overbearing, the ambience was very nice.....be sure to ask for the corner table if you want the perfect romantic spot! The food......yum. I enjoyed a delicious fillet mignon and prawns. Dessert was to die for....chocolate souffle. I want this every night! Although there is a small surcharge for a meal here, I encourage everyone to try the Pinnacle Grill. Be sure to book quickly as the reservations fill up within the first day or two.

There were so many more things to do, I couldn't even get to everything but let me just mention a few more.....the Piano bar is rocking every night with lots of fun music and many happy guests! It tends to be standing room only later in the evening. Of course the Westerdam also has a beautiful spa featuring all the current health and relaxation opportunities available in the spas at home.....even a hydro therapy pool. And, if your husband feels like he is going to miss his sports, there is a nice sports bar near the casino. When we were onboard, the Phillies were playing the Rays in the first couple games of the World Series. In the Vista lounge, the shows were fun and what I enjoyed most was seeing one of my clients end up on the shoulders of a unicyclist. And I always thought the people that were pulled from the audience for things that dramatic were plants. Not this time! Now I know. Oh my goodness, just glad my husband didn't volunteer me!
