 The Secret to Getting Highly Discounted Cruise Tickets

The luxury, the excitement, the open sea ... a cruise can be the perfect vacation. Whether a first-timer, or a seasoned veteran, there are a variety of cruise destination and tailored options that can make the trip perfect for you. But what could make a cruise even better? How about paying 75 percent less than your fellow shipmates?

Believe it or not, if you are looking for a cruise vacation at a low price, you do have options. Since 1984, Vacations To Go has helped tens of thousands of people save millions of dollars on discount cruises.

Over the years, the company has built up a special relationship with the cruise lines. Through this unique relationship, Vacations To Go gets the best deals, many times before other companies, and sometimes even exclusives. Here’s a sample of what the Web site offers:

 

   

 90-Day Ticker
Find the best cruise deals at the 90-Day Ticker. This is a complete listing of last-minute cruises on the world's best cruise lines. The site is easy to use and you can view last-minute deals with information on destination stops, port city, ship type and more. It’s not uncommon for users to save more than half what they would normally pay, with some cruises selling for up to 75 percent off. Or book early, or check for specials. Most of the Vacatiions To Go prices, while very good are not better than if you book early. Also, the prices they quote are full brochure price not the discounted prices.

On the other hand, sometimes you can get a really good bargain through them

Find a Bargain
If you prefer to book further in advance, or if you have a specific cruise line in mind, you can still find discounted prices in the “Find a Bargain” section. There you'll find a treasure trove of early bird discounts, two-for-ones and other cut-rate promotions, on every cruise line in the world. Special discounts apply for military personnel, police officers, teachers, groups and people who are 55-plus.

Cruise Specials
Cruise lines develop trips and itineraries to appeal to all types of people, and there are more than a thousand cruise destinations around the world. Cruises are perfect for singles, families with kids, people who have special needs, and more.

All you have to do to gain valuable access to this information is sign up for Vacations To Go’s free weekly newsletter at www.VacationsToGo.com. Once you've found the discounted cruise you want, simply call or e-mail a cruise specialist and you’ll enjoy a great vacation while saving a bundle. Book as soon as possible and then let your agent monitor your rates to see if any specials are offered that would lower your rate. Vacations to Go does not offer any rates that are not offered by any other agent. It's just a marketing gimmick! They compare their rates against the brochure rates, which nobody sells, not even the cruise line. Bottom line is they deal in quantity and not quality.

If you book early, you get your choice of the best cabins. Then you can begin to plan ahead of time, especially securing your airfare, because as we all know airfare won't be going down any time soon. If you wait and book your cruise later, the price may have gone up, plus the airfare will have gone up, also.

You are about to get a taste of the most unique, successful money-saving strategies of a master travel guru, Justin Wizard. He has been a world traveler for many years and loves to discover and share the very best bargains and techniques. It doesn't matter if you want to go total budget or in pampered luxury -he has something to thrill you.

In case you didn't know, most people in the travel industry will not share their preciously guarded secrets. They needs to be pried out nugget by nugget, like mining for gold.

The majority of people pay too much for their travel. They would love to pay less but don't know WHERE to look or WHO to call. With Justin's information you will be saving time and money, avoiding mistakes and disastrous situations while learning inside information other people only wished they knew.

Are you curious how the author got into this project? It was an accident! Read on:

HOW THIS BOOK CAME TO BE
This whole adventure started five years ago in a Denny's restaurant when the author overheard someone mentioning a fare dirt cheap to Bangkok for $250 round trip. It's not polite to eavesdrop but he was captivated. With heart pounding, he told them he would buy their dinner if they would tell him their secret. They looked surprised but consented to divulge their information. He became hooked on finding unadvertised travel specials.

He found out through effort and diligence how to do it even cheaper and went to Bangkok for only $147. He enjoyed spectacular sightseeing, shopping bargains, tours, colorful music, street markets and adventures by the minute.

He was hooked! He became an enthusiastic travel bargain research fanatic, reading, visiting, asking and spending a small fortune in phone calls. He pestered and bribed people looking for insider information that really works.

To prove his information he just came back from Singapore for $80 round trip. He had never been there before. He was not that excited about the destination- a total mystery -but he went there and loved it. You can too! Singapore is a clean, safe country with fabulous food. It has both jungle and a modern city with many other attractions. Malaysia is only a one hour bus trip away with almost unreal, low prices and friendly people.

You may find travel books bragging about how to get $1200 courier trips for "only" $600. Justin blows the lid off flying as an air courier with the most detailed done-that-been there information on how to get International trips for five cents on the dollar, with exact people to call, what to do, best time to call, and what to say or not to say to get them.

Let this jump start your imagination. Here's a small sample of the information you will learn for making traveling cheaper and easier to do.

AMAZING SECRETS OF BEING AN AIR COURIER
Many people have heard vague stories about what a travel courier does, but know almost nothing based on actual fact. Where do you find out the real details? What are the job duties, why are couriers needed, is it hard to get started, when are the very best times to go, do I need licenses or classes, what are the restrictions, who can go, how safe is it, how long can I stay, can I bring someone, how soon can I start, what are dumb things not to do and what's an actual courier run like. This and many more questions are answered in detail. We think you'll enjoy the actual courier stories complete with joy, excitement, apprehension and pure inexpensive adventure. What a rich learning experience.

Why going through conventional channels almost guarantees you conventional high prices.

The Greatest Collection of "Walt Disney World, Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line Discounts, Deals and Money Saving Tips"
Ever Released to the General Public!
1. Booking your Cruise

It may seem logical to book your cruise directly with the cruise line, but this isn’t always going to get you the best price. You may find a travel agent can offer a discounted price on the same cruise which means great savings for you. But don’t make the mistake of assuming you will get the best quote simply by walking into your high street agent, come on, you have to do a little work to save yourself some money! Which leads me to my next point  Getting Highly Discounted Cruise Tickets

2. Getting Quotes

Accepting the first price you are quoted wont always get you the best deal. The key is to get prices from a few different companies. Travel agents work hard to earn commission on each sale, and the more they have to discount for you, means less money for them. Again, this is where a little hard work now pays off later. It seems just about every travel agent promises to price beat, so, take advantage and hunt around for the lowest price. When you have it, why not go back to the most helpful agent, and see if they can beat it? It’s not always just the lowest price you’re looking for either, P&O, Princess, Cunard and Ocean Village for example will offer onboard credit to selected agents on different dates on many of their cruises.

3. Customer Loyalty

It’s sad but true; loyalty does not always pay off. You may have received a great deal on your last cruise and have gone back to your same agent expecting another. It is still important to be ringing around. As an existing customer, these travel agents know they already have your custom, they also know you are less likely to be ringing other companies for prices. Obviously, this isn’t always the case, some agents will genuinely reward their loyal customers, but it’s always worth checking.

4. Booking Onboard

We have all been there; 13 nights into your fortnight holiday, and it all feels like it’s over far too soon. And, if it’s been really good, all you can think about is when you can come back again. Well, good news - on many cruises you will be given the opportunity to rebook a cruise onboard with the purser or at the future cruise desk. They may be offering discounted prices, onboard spending money and lower deposits to secure your booking there and then. If you do rebook onboard, but feel discounts and onboard credit still isn’t enough, once you get home, why not check a few prices offered by travel agents? If they can offer a further discount, you may be able to get the booking transferred to them. The best part is, you still get to keep any benefits offered to you for booking onboard whilst taking advantage of the lower price.

5. Cruise Only

It is becoming increasingly popular to tailor make your own cruise holiday, this not only gives you the luxury of flexibility with your travel plans, but can be a more cost effective way to holiday.
It may be surprising to hear that when booking your cruise package (flights, hotel stays and transfers) with the cruise line, the flight can cost more than the cruise itself!
The idea is to get “cruise only”. This means you are just taking the cruise from the cruise line and will find alternative flights and hotels elsewhere. Your travel agent can then search around for you to find a suitable flight, transfer and hotel stay as required. This can save you a whole lot of money, and allow you to choose your preferred flight and hotel, too.
It isn’t always advisable to do this, particularly if it is your first cruise, or if you are going to a destination that you are unsure of, but for many popular cruise ports including Miami, New York, Barcelona and even Vancouver it is very easy to do yourself.
Importantly, by booking the flight through your travel agent, you will still be covered by their ATOL license which protects your travel plans, (something to check before booking) and, furthermore, they will be knowledgeable about transfer times and can book a flight that will get you to your destination in good time for your cruise.

6. Shore Excursions

My final tip is to do some research on the ports you will be visiting before you go. Yes, I’m afraid it involves a little work on your part, but its well worth doing.
It is easy to play it safe and go along with the sometimes pricy excursions offered by the cruise lines, and in many cases, an arranged excursion is a great, safe way to see places. However, often the destination is at the port, so you can explore yourself, or you may find it cheaper to hop in a taxi and head to places you really want to see and not the places the cruise lines want to take you. Also, be aware that if you pay for arranged excursions before you go, and they are cancelled, due to weather or a change in port of call on the itinerary, you may not be refunded.

Well there it is, enough inside information to make any travel agent squirm… So go out there, do a little work, and make sure you get the very best deal on your next cruise.
