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. Trotta is a veteran of the cruise and all-inclusive resort industries. "Since on-board entertainment and activities are centered around these target groups, it pays to choose a cruise where you know you're going to have a good time. Bottom line, there is a cruise to satisfy every type of traveler." Priceline Cruise customers can choose from a broad range of cruises at great prices covering the Bahamas, the Caribbean, coastal Canada, Europe, Mexico, the South Pacific, South and Central America, Hawaii and Alaska. Cruise lengths can be 1-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-11, or 12 nights or more. Priceline Cruise customers can research their ideal cruise according to several criteria. They can browse the featured best- deal cruises offered on that day. They can enter a particular month and see all the available cruises and destinations for that time frame. They can pick a departure port or destination and see all the cruises being offered. Or they can pick their favorite cruise line and see its offerings and prices. For each cruise line, customers can see individual ship statistics, deck plans, cabin layouts and descriptions of the ship's public areas and attractions. For each cruise, customers can view sailing times, itineraries, off-ship activities and sightseeing suggestions and maps of the cruise. Here are some examples of cruises available at Priceline Cruises www.pricelinecruiseoutlet.com 1-800-735-8000: -- Cruise from New York 7 night Canada/New England from $549 per person aboard Carnival Cruise Lines Carnival Victory. $78 per person per day - 67% savings. Bonus: Ask about FREE upgrades. -- Cruise from Miami 4 night Western Caribbean from $189 per person aboard Carnival Cruise Lines Carnival Imagination. $47 per person per day - 78% savings.

Bonus: Ask about FREE upgrades. $100 Free Onboard Spending on select holiday sailings. -- Cruise from San Diego 5 night Baja Mexico Cruise from $239 per person aboard Carnival Cruise Lines Carnival Elation. $48 per person per day - 76% savings. Bonus: Ask about FREE upgrades on select sailings. For vacationers who like to set down roots and stay put for a long weekend, or a week, all-inclusive resorts offer another budget-friendly vacation alternative. All-inclusives are most common in Mexico and the Caribbean. All-inclusive resorts typically provide accommodations, food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, entertainment and sports equipment (including non- motorized watercraft) in their per-night price. "Like cruises, all-inclusive resorts come in many sizes and cater to specific groups and activities, so it's important to learn about the resort before booking," said Trotta. "Some welcome families with children of all ages. Others require that children be at least teenagers. And some are strictly adults-only. Some offer a variety of sports activities, while the main attraction at others is the nightlife or the opportunity to stretch out on the beach and do absolutely nothing." Trotta pointed out that, while there may be a price difference between a cruise and an all-inclusive resort, both represent solid vacation values. "The price of an all-inclusive vacation package will run higher than a cruise," he said. "Both options include accommodations, food and entertainment. But unlike a cruise, an all-inclusive vacation will also include airfare, beverages, tips and more activities in the price. Both options have a high level of customer satisfaction and help manage your vacation dollars." Priceline.com is currently offering specially priced all-inclusive vacation packages. Customers who purchase a four- to six-night package will receive $50 off per package. Customers who book seven or more nights will receive $100 to $150 off per package. To qualify for the special offer, packages must be booked by July 31, 2008 and travel must be completed by December 15, 2008. Here is a sampling of the all-inclusive package specials.

    More than a Directory! Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies 1st Edition, April 2013 © 2013 by J. R. Kuehmayer www.amem.at Cruise Ship Owners / Operators Preface The AMEM Publication “Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Compa- nies” in fact is more than a directory! Company co-ordinates It is not only the most comprehensively and accurately structured listing of cruise ship owners and operators in the industry, despite the fact that the majority of cruise lines is more and more keeping both the company’s coordinates and the managerial staff secret. The entire industry is obtrusively focused on selling their services weeks and months ahead of the specific cruise date, collecting the money at a premature stage and staying almost unattainable for their clients pre and after cruise requests. They simply ignore the fact that there are suppliers and partners around who wish to keep in touch personally at least with the cruise line’s technical and procurement departments! The rest of the networking-information is camouflaged by the yellow-pages industry, which is facing a real prospect of extinction. The economic downturn is sending the already ailing business into a tailspin. The yellow-pages publishers basically give back in one downturn what took seven years to grow! Cruise Ship Financing It is more than a directory as it unveils the shift in the ship financing sector and uncovers how fast the traditional financiers to the cruise shipping industry fade away and perverted forms of financing are gaining ground. Admittedly there are some traditional banks around, which can maintain their market position through a blend of sober judgements, judicious risk management and solid relationships.

  • Cruise Ship Locations 16 May 2021
    CRUISE SHIP LOCATIONS 16 MAY 2021 Compiled by Mike Pryce, Wellington NZ (Information believed correct at this date. Compiled from various sources and internet AIS, especially www.cruisemapper.com. Excludes ferries and cruise ferries. Many cruise ships have been in “warm” lay-up, when they have periodically moved from their berths or anchorages and gone for short voyages locally to give their engines and equipment “a run”, and including production of freshwater, before returning to lay-up. Ships at anchor periodically need to berth to take onboard fuel, food, provisions and other supplies. Some inter-ship crew transfers at sea are being made, outside port limits. With the resumption of “normal” cruising looking very uncertain in many countries in the near future, more cruise ships are likely to move to “cold” lay-up until the situation becomes clearer, whilst others go into shipyards for overhauls and surveys. Many cruise ships have been in lay-up for over a year, as the initial “pause” has been continually extended due to more Covid-19 outbreaks, and many financial assumptions made on the expectation of an initial two-months lockdown have needed reviewing. This has resulted in many recent sales of older ships, and limited cruising in the Mediterranean and Europe, where these areas are being affected by sporadic outbreaks in Covid-19 infections. The largest concentration of laid-up cruise ships is on the Bahamas Banks (east of Miami and south of Freeport) A large number of cruise ships are anchored off the south coast of England, west of Southampton. Another large group are anchored in the South China Sea, NE of Singapore.
