A cruise only cruise is becoming extremely popular among those who love to be around the ocean. While on this type of cruise, you only stay on the water without stopping at ports of call along the way like with a regular cruise.
Unlike cruises that stop at different ports of call, the cruise only cruise will be in the water the entire time, which means that you have the freedom to stay on the ship for the entire cruise. Some people prefer to be aboard ship for the entire cruise but are forced to take day excursions. Because you are on the water the entire time, you will get to enjoy the many amenities that are offered and really get the most for your money while having time to mix and mingle with other guests or simply enjoy your family or other activities on board.
This type is no more expensive than other types for the most part; in fact, some may be far cheaper depending upon the line that you choose to go with. You can always save money by:
Many cruise lines will offer a deep discount for those cruisers who book early. If you can set your itinerary and book your cruise at least six months in advance, you can literally save hundreds of dollars.
Traveling with a group is always the least expensive way to go, especially when cruising. You will find that many travel agencies will allow a large family to qualify as a group in order to get the group discount (usually five or more people). But even going as a couple will save you a few hundred dollars.
If you plan on flying into the city where your cruise leaves, you can bundle your cruise and airfare together to save a lot of your money.
A lot of travel companies will reduce the cost of cruises that are taken during the “off” season of the year significantly - which is generally in the winter months for most cruise destinations, including cruise only cruises.
