Would you like to take a cruise this summer but don’t have the time or money to slip away on a 10-day Caribbean cruise? Think about taking a quick sailing , from overnight to a four-night getaway, which gives you a taste of cruise living and a wonderful respite from your daily routine. Once you are onboard the ship you won’t have a single worry, because everything will be taken care of for you. Your biggest dilemma will be deciding what to do next: laze in the sun on a deck chair and catch up on your reading, go for a stroll around the deck, or nap, dress for dinner and then go to the evening entertainment. See - you still can enjoy sailing the high seas even if you are short on vacation time or the recession is cutting into you travel funds.
Carnival, Celebrity, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean offer most of the weekend or short cruises. After the events of September 11, 2001, these cruise lines started offering shorter cruises to appeal to travellers avoiding air travel. They established more cruise-ship ports so that more people could drive within a day to board cruise ships. The prime destinations are The Bahamas, Key West, Florida, Cozumel, and Ensenada, Mexico. In addition, a shortened cruise schedule allows more people the ability to take a weekend cruise or take fewer days off work. These cruise packages allow people to spend some leisurely time with friends and families. As well, many businesses are using short cruises as a way to reward their employees.
This year, there are many specials for shorter cruises with great rates. In the past, tickets started around $500 per person (assuming double occupancy). Royal Caribbean has just advertised a 4 Night Western Caribbean Cruise sailing on July 16 to July 20, 2009 starting at $340.00 CAD on Enchantment of the Seas.
