Cruise RunAway
Wow, Baltimore has been a great hit here in Charm City with cruises sailing from our port . The Caribbean being the most popular by far - but the New England cruises are also becoming very popular. My friends just returned from the Royal Caribbean's New England Cruise and enjoyed the ship, the food, the service and visiting the NE. It has been a big hit with families & couples.
There are so many wonderful discounts / deals on Alaskan Cruises. It is very common to travel the inside passage and stay in a suite for $3500 per couple with today's discounts. Not sure how long they will last, but the discounts are worthy.
While researching, I came across a great article in travel & Leisure Magazine about cruising. Generally when considering cruise popularity you will find that it is determined by a number of things, which can include how convenient it is to reach the cruise liner from your home, whether you have a young family, your age, whether it your first time or if you are single or married. This is so true.
It is therefore wise to ask yourself what you expect from a cruise before making a decision. Are you looking for black tie glamour, informal luxury, to travel only with people your own age, plenty of entertainment, beautiful surroundings and nature, a good deal or activity and are you traveling on a shoestring?
The best time to cruise the Caribbean is in January and February as the weather is perfect most days, but there is often threat of hurricanes from Mid June to the beginning of December.
The best time to cruise to Alaska is in the warmest months of June to August, as daylight is longer for sightseeing and taking photographs. It's a special place to cruise by glaciers and snow caped jagged peaks on your way to numerous photogenic ports.
The warmest months and the best time for sun seekers to visit the Mediterrannean is from May to September. It should be noted that many of the ports are often very busy during the summer, but there are certainly a large amount of destinations worth visiting, including the Greek Islands, Costa del Sol, Liguria Coast and the French Riviera.
November to April is the best time to cruise to Mexico, as they are cooler, dryer and less humid than the summer months. This is not the destination for those looking to relax, as Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco and the other ports of call on the Mexican Riviera are full of life and music.
The Hawaiian Islands are a tropical paradise everyday of the year with its green clad volcanic cliffs and awe-inspiring tropical fauna and flora. Visit the magical Dolphin Cove, the fascinating Sealife Park and of course the Polynesian Cultural Centre.
For you cruisers out there, this is the perfect time for getting a bang for your buck!
