I’ve seen some last minute cruise deals for like $249 per person. I WILL have to fly to the port, which is showing about $200 per person.

Would it be cheaper for us to go to an al inclusive resort somewhere? (Which we would also have to fly to…so that’d probably cancel out the extra $200 to fly to the cruise port)

What do you think?

About the same. You should choose the location(s) and experience you’re looking for. The biggest factor is liquor. Most cruises charge for soft drinks and liquor. The resorts do not charge for bar rail liquor. Depending on your life style, that could be a big deal.

Have fun!


Hubbie and I are considering taking a cruise and have never been on one before. I am looking at Carnival Cruise lines, but was wondering if there were any other suggestions? We would like to leave from Northern Florida or South Carolina, and would be interested in a 3 – 5 day cruise.

Should be we purchase the tickets near the date we are leaving to get the best price? Would love any advice you have on picking a cruise! We have a limited income so economy is a very big concern, would like the most bang for our buck, without hidden costs.

I would check out Carnival and RCCL. Whatever cruise line you decide to go with, stick with them for future cruises. The more cruises you take with the same cruise line, the more perks you are entitled to.


I want to get a customer service job in Miami. I want to work for Carnival cause I love taking their cruises, anybody tried to get a job with them?
I don’t want to work on board the ship. I just want to work for them so I can get a discount on cruises.

you can apply at the jobs section on their website at the bottom right
