Why We Like Cruising

We often choose to cruise when we are curious about a new place that may be difficult to travel by land due to geography or the lack of our limited language skills. Navigation is done for you and that can make a trip more enjoyable. Not having to pack and unpack each day is another huge advantage to us!

Another reason to cruise is to sample places so that you can go back to stay longer.

We often use a cruise as our mode of transportation. Cruising can sometimes reduce flight distances.

We discovered repositioning cruises (where the ship begins and ends in different ports) and travelling on the shoulder seasons (spring/fall in North America) are cheaper, less crowded and have unique destinations.

We have successfully booked cruises with Vacationstogo.com. We find they provide a great search tool and we learn about unique itineraries. It can be a great place to find a deal on cruises 90 days out. Don’t let the older-looking style of the website discourage you! They are a travel agency out of Houston, Texas and can provide cheaper trips and travel insurance. We have been happy with their service.

We have booked cruises on a variety of cruise lines through Vacations To Go.  We receive loyalty points from the cruise companies as if it were a direct booking. We don’t have a favourite cruise company. They all have advantages and drawbacks. Some have great balcony prices, superb entertainment, service, or excursions.

Select the Cruiseline for you

Matching your preferences to the right cruise line will make your holiday more enjoyable. Our style of dress has become more casual with each cruise to minimize luggage requirements. We hope to get down to carry-on only but we are one small suitcase away from that!

We don’t subscribe to the drinks or internet packages as we feel that are not good value. I think this is where cruises make most of their money!! This is why we can cruise on a mid-range budget.

Another great place to book cruises is on Expedia.ca and you will earn rewards and as a Canadian, it will be TICO protected.

We have cruised many times! We have been on 5 in the last 5 years.
