Herricane Season in the Carribean!

On Saturday, Aug. 16 - 3 named storms were named! So far been a very quite Hurricane season, but that is getting ready to change! Tropical Storm Claudette is still out headed towards the Florida Panhandle. Several Cruise ships had to change their itinerary this past weekend and some will be changing itineraries this week.
You need to make sure that your travel agent is watching your itinerary and lets you know what changes will affect you and your cruise. On my cruise aboard the Carnival Valor during the storm surge resulting from Katrina, our itinerary was not affected. However, that was not the case for the Carnival Victory! She had to change itinerary and could not return to Galveston for a extra 2 days!
Make sure that you are aware of the hurricane season and know the possibilities of a storm hitting during your cruise. One of the most wonderful facts of a cruise ship is the fact that it is mobile. Unlike your island vacation that cannot move out of the path of the hurricane, a ship has the ability to miss a port and replace it with a different port if possible! Normally, your vacation will not be drastically impacted by the impending storm, but you may stop at a new destination that you did not have plans to see!
So, go plan your cruise vacation and expect to still have a wonderful time. We can help you plan that trip for your family, friends, or group cruise. Currently the prices that the cruise lines are offering are at a all time low, but that will change when the economy changes. Now is the time to book your 2010 vacation while you can still take advantage of the remarkable prices being offered.
Some of the specials that we have this week include –
· 4-Night Baja Mexico Cruise from $159
· 4-Night Bahamas Cruise from $175
· 5-Night Western Caribbean Cruise from $249
· 7-Night Greek Isles and Turkey Cruise from $499
· 7-Night Western Mediterranean Cruise from $516
· 7-Night Bermuda from $549
We are also hosting a group cruise aboard the Carnival Freedom for a Singles Spring Break Cruise – March 21 – 27, 2010! This cruise will include group activities as well as a onboard raffle for future cruise travel! Prices are – Inside $561, Outside $661 and Balcony $811 including port taxes on the ship!
