Have you started making any plans for Memorial Weekend? Or maybe even the 4th of July? Well, what about I give you a suggestion: you can go on line at cruisecheap.com and book a cruise for as little as $299. The site lists a delicious selection of cruise deals, most of them within the Caribbean, whose embankment days are very close to the Memorial Weekend or the Independence Day weekend.
Some of the cheapest cruises available involve Bahamas and come from Norwegian Cruise Lines – the price of an inside cabin aboard the Norwegian Sky (departing Miami on July 2nd ) starts at only $299. More pricey journeys involve the Mediterranean ($1,599 for an inside cabin on a 12 night journey) or Canada and New England coast ($1,095 for a 5 days sail). Since it is safe to assume that this holiday cruise will actually be a family cruise, it might be a good idea to check these amazing holiday cruise offers as fast as possible: Disney Wonder cruise (one of the best family friendly cruise ships) to the Bahamas is almost sold out.

Now that we’re halfway through the spring, it could be a great time to surf the net for all kinds of vacation deals, special discounts and delicious ‘extras’. Whether you are planning to rent a car during your holiday or not, it doesn’t harm knowing what extra services you can get for little money. Hertz Rent-a-Car has prepared a nice list of deals and discounts for the upcoming summer.
For example, Hertz’s exclusive navigation system – Never Lost, can be used for free during 2 weekend days, considering you are renting the car form a mid-Atlantic location for at least 3 consecutive days (however, this offer is only valid by the end of this month). Another advantageous ‘extra’ comes when renting a car in Manhattan: you can either get discounted parking in one of Hertz’s 6 parking lots, or rent a car for a whole day and receive a full gas tank for free (it can be quite difficult to say no to such offers like $14 parking or a $74 rate for driving yourself through Manhattan).

Cruise cheap on a brand new ship
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
Just as any respectable cruise line launches a new ship once in two or three years, so must the passionate cruiser try on a new vessel from time to time. Among the great advantages of these new ships are: cutting-edge technologies, innovative designs and the obvious truth that they are meant raise the standards. However the best advantage is that they are also available for affordable rates. A ship’s maiden voyage might be reserved to those few privileged guests, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t get a brand-new cabin for little money.
