Try a Cruise Or an All-Inclusive Resort to Stretch Those Vacation Dollars
Another Priceline Travel Tip - Try A Cruise Or An All-Inclusive Resort To Stretch Those Vacation Dollars NORWALK, Conn., Jul 17, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Consumers who want to make their vacation dollars go further this year should consider a cruise, or stay at an all-inclusive resort, according to priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN). The two options have long been value favorites among budget-conscious travelers because they include all the basics of a vacation in one bargain price. This year is no different. Priceline said it has cruises currently available for as little as $47 a night, per person, based on double occupancy. The price of a cruise includes stateroom, unlimited food in the main dining areas, entertainment and most onboard activities. Visits to local ports are also free. Expect to pay extra for alcoholic drinks, spa treatments, shore tours and excursions, tips, reservations at a ship's gourmet restaurants and, of course, casino wagering. Cruise lines also have trimmed the cost of a cruise by expanding to 22 departure ports along the U.S. coast, putting millions of Americans within easy driving distance of the pier. Now, instead of paying for a flight, cruisers can drive or even take public transportation to the ship. The best way to select the right cruise is to visit Priceline Cruises at www.pricelinecruiseoutlet.com to browse the cruises, and then have a conversation with a Priceline Cruise specialist at 1-800-735-8000. "Different cruise lines and even different cruises tend to attract specific age groups, singles, families with kids and retirees," said Tom Trotta, Priceline's Senior Vice President, Vacation Packages and Cruises.
