You may want to look at RCCL or Carnival 7 day Caribbean cruise. You will find that it will be chepa

I have been thinking about planning a cruise for our family for a long time. We have never been on a cruise before but it seems like it would be a perfect thing to do with young children (7 and 10 yrs old) because of the variety of things offered. guided tours of europe Unfortunately we have a very small budget to work with and it seems like the Disney cruises would be about $4,000-$5,000 guided tours of europe with air for a family of four to take a 4 or 5 day cruise to the Bahamas. Any advice on how to get the best price for a Disney cruise or less expensive cruise lines that might be just as good as Disney? We live in St. Louis, MO so I am guessing leaving from FL would be our best option. Thanks for your help!!!
You may want to look at RCCL or Carnival 7 day Caribbean cruise. You will find that it will be chepaer than your $4000-$5000 quote on Disney, which I thought guided tours of europe may be their bare minimum lowest category price. I am guessing airfare on sale for 4 about $1000 total and the cruise guided tours of europe would be $4000 for the 4 or 5 day cruise, inside cabin.
Typically, soft drinks is not included. The soft drink package would cost $3.50 per person per day. Tips for the staff would cost you (family of 4) at least $40 per day. And of course, guided tours of europe the cost of shore excursions would be extra.
Thanks Reme and Eschew. guided tours of europe I will check out your advice! Eschew where do you go for reliable last minute deals and what is the bare minimum cabin that a family of four would typically be happy with? Is it better guided tours of europe to be higher on the ship, front back? Thanks!
Your local travel agent, crusie line's web page etc are sources for last minute deal. From time to time, I have seen $399 to $499 per person deals. However, they are not offered during paek seasons. With young children, you maybe stuck on high season, unless you want to take the kids out of school.
A regular cabin can hold 4 in relative comfort. I have done it years ago when my kids were small. Besides, you don't spent too much time in the cabin anyway. The only challenege would be sharing 1 bathroom for 4 person. For 4 in a cabin, you will get a double bed (or twin) and 2 "bunk" beds that drop down from the ceiling or pull out from the wall.
A typical cabin is not all that big, smaller than your avergae hotel room, under 200 square feet for sure, say 10 by 18 or 12 by 16 or there about. If you have or used a travel trailer (RV), you will undersatnd. They have many similarities except the cabins on a ship would be smaller but still has all the amenities.
What a family can be happy with is a point of reference that only you can answer. guided tours of europe For people in a city who is used to living in a 400 sq ft apartment, guided tours of europe it's good. For someone who has a 2000 sq ft home, it may not be so good.
What creates the happiness would be the trip and not the size of the cabin. My kids still have fond memories of the 4 of us cramped into the small cabin and I didn't recall any major challenegs, nor did we mind it at the time. I certainly wouldn't do it now though.
As for the overall cost just know that cabin location costs even for the same type of cabin will vary. An inside cabin on a ship like the Oasis of the seas will cost a lot more than other ships due to its wow! Factor.
Carnival offers 6 nights guided tours of europe to Western Caribbean return for $349, 7 nights for $449. They are all October guided tours of europe sailings. Adding tax still makes it under $2000, and you can have 2 cabins instead of cramping guided tours of europe into 1 cabin for the same price. Carnival Liberty and Dream are both slightly older ships but are still fine ships, especially guided tours of europe for family, and first time cruisers.
Of coruse, the $800 on shore excursions and $300 souvenirs are 100% optional. Get off the ship, walk around town or take the low cost city tour or beach stops, the cost is minimal, and you will be hard press to spent $900.
Ship sells t-shirts and ball-cab guided tours of europe packages for around $12 to $15. The markets by the dock probably have t-shirts that would go for $5 a piece or even 3 for $10. So, depending on what souvenir you buy, $300 could be very generous.
For this November, my young son and GF is finally agreeing to go on a cruise holiday with us. Last week of November, Ruby Pricness, Eastern guided tours of europe Caribbean, top deck inside cabin for $499 pp (for them) and $679 (BB Balcony) for us. Under $2,800 for 4, including all taxes. Looking at beach stops and city tours, guided tours of europe they are about $40 per person. 4 people, 3 stops at $40 a piece comes to $480. You can do better by cab and do self-guided tours (but not recommended for first timers for obvious reasons). Princess Cay beach stop is free. and we will be under $5,000, guided tours of europe 2 cabins, and one with a balcony!
I wonder about the air fare. I would like to see some dates to plug in to figure that in. They are high right now and about 3 weeks ago I heard about how gas prices will go to about 3.00 per gal. And now look!
I do wonder if your son and his GF will be up and at em for excursions. My son and his GF went with us for a cruise when they were like 20 and they sort of pulled in just before we went to breakfast.
Shop around. Look at the Costco and BJs Travel websites to compare prices. (You can look and compare prices without having to be a member.) Check Vacations to Go. All these are reliable travel agencies. When you find a cruise (or more) that you like, call their 800 number and talk to an agent. Some sites offer you onboard credit or other perks. guided tours of europe Carnival is curtailing this to no more than $25 beginning August 1.
Look at the Boards forum at CruiseCritic.com . It s filled with cruisers with lots of experience and advice. They will give you ideas about shore excursions vs purchasing the ship s tours. And once you have signed up for a cruise, you can connect with others on your cruise (nice for those with kids) in the Roll Call section and chat about what to expect, if you want to meet each other on board, etc.
The best price I ever got for a cruise was $1,200 for 4 people for 7 days. That s $42pp/day. It started around $4,000 and I kept watching the price come down. I was ready to book when it came down to $1,500 and then got an email offering $1,200. Because we had 4 to a room, the 3rd and 4th person in the room paid only (about) $99 (don t recall exactly). We didn t eat in any extra-pay specialty dining areas, and I recall very little guided tours of europe extra expenses. The only thing you have to be careful about is the 4 person cabin. If you wait too long, they will be gone, especially during school breaks.
Most ship typically charges 3rd and 4th person in the same cabin less than the regular fare, typically at or below the inside cabin rate. I have never seen $99 for 3rd or 4th passengers but have seen $199 and $249 many times.
When you factor in the auto daily tip, cruise fare, tax, excursions etc, the extra $50 per person for the 3rd and 4th passenger is not a big amount. It works out to less than $15 per night, in a real bed, rather than a bunk, plus extra space and washroom!
