Bermuda Cruises with Royal Caribbean
What a charming little chain of islands. Walk on pink sand beaches. Swim and snorkel in turquoise seas. Take in the historical sights. They're stoically British and very quaint. Or explore the coral reefs. You can get to them by boat or propelled by fins. You pick. Freestyle Cruising doesn't tell you where to go or what to do. Sure, you can plan ahead, or decide once onboard. After all, it's your vacation. There are no deadlines or must do's.

    Caribbean Cruises For The Most Active Cruisers

    A decade ago, when your cruise ship pulled into St. Thomas your options were shopping, lounging at the beach or snorkeling in nearby St. John. Today’s Caribbean cruise ship passengers will find activities ranging golf, 4×4 nature excursions, riding in high-speed jet boats along the coast to joining the crew of an ocean racing yacht.
    As the number of families and active cruisers has increased, cruise lines have added more intriguing shore excursions, especially in the Caribbean. While you can still take a Bacardi rum factory tour in San Juan, there is also the option of a Bioluminescence Bay Kayak Tour or a rainforest hike in El Yunque. From mountain biking in St. Martin to a zipline canopy ride in Barbados, each Caribbean port offers the chance to try new experiences that enhance the travel experience.
    Cruisers who aren’t seeking high adrenalin adventure will also find Caribbean tours that suit any interest. For example, if golf is your passion it’s a cinch tee off at some of the world’s top Caribbean courses and photographers can join local photo experts who take them to places that capture the most scenic shots on the island. Nature lovers can explore local flora on an off-road Land Rover expedition while learning about local culture, history and folklore.While the Caribbean was best known for pristine beaches, cruisers today are often introduced to activities they never experienced before. After taking a white water rafting excursion in Costa Rica a few years ago, I became hooked on the sport and explore it close to home. A friend signed up for an intensive scuba program that resulted in getting certified and today follows her new passion on repeat Caribbean cruises.
    Multi-generational cruising, which has grown in popularity especially in the Caribbean, is further enhanced by the opportunity for passengers to pick excursions that are fun for the whole group or let each family member pick his or her own activities. For example, the kids may opt for a jet boat ride while the parents go kayaking or play a around of golf. Grandparents may opt for something more leisurely, like a 4×4 tour of the island.
    Cruising today is about choices and you can be as active or laid-back as you choose, especially when it comes to planning your time ashore. With a list of excursions as long as your arm, plan to try at least one activity you’ve never done before on your next Caribbean cruise.

    Caribbean Cruises & Bermuda Cruises: Sun, Sand & Beaches / The Ideal Island Cruise Vacation



    So Many Islands -- So Little Time!
    The Caribbean is the world's largest cruise destination -- there are more cruise ships per port here than in any other destination. Perhaps that's because so many cruise travelers are looking for vacations with nearly year-around warm weather, welcoming white sand beaches with aquamarine waters, shopping bargains and a party atmosphere accentuated by calypso bands, and different cultural flavors. History has given the Caribbean islands American, British, Dutch, Spanish and French influences. Of course, if you want to flee the crowded ports with thousands of cruisers, there are Caribbean cruises off the beaten path, too.

    SPECIAL OFFERS ON BERMUDA & CARIBBEAN CRUISES!
    Contact one of my Cruise Expert At 888-403-1804


      Bermuda Cruises
      Though many think otherwise, Bermuda is NOT part of the Caribbean. A Bermuda cruise is generally a 7-day itinerary from New York that includes a few days docked at this peaceful and quaint island thick with British heritage, allowing guests to explore and enjoy in more depth. Ports-of-call are usually Hamilton and/or St. George.
                                                                  

      Cruises To The Caribbean : Three Basic Itineraries
      The typical 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise itinerary departs from Florida and can include three or four ports of call in the Bahamas, San Juan, PR and the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas).
                                                      

      The 7-day Western Caribbean cruise itinerary also departs from Florida and includes three or four ports of call, usually in Jamaica, Grand Cayman and the Mayan Riviera coast of Mexico (Cancun, Cozumel and/or Costa Maya).


      The Southern Caribbean cruise itinerary, or Deep Caribbean, often departs from San Juan, PR, and includes islands further south like Barbados, Martinique, Curacao and/or Aruba. From the USA, airfare is a bit higher flying to San Juan than to Florida gateways, but the itinerary, which can also range from 7- to 14-days, reaches more exotic and compelling island choices.


      Caribbean Cruises Feature Private Islands
      Some of the larger cruise lines offer their own day on a private island as part of their Caribbean cruise itineraries. These include Disney Cruises, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises. These are often a highlight of a Caribbean cruise, allowing guests to enjoy the island to themselves. Most offer activities from horsebackriding to wave riders.

      Many Caribbean Cruise Line Choices
      Many cruise lines operate cruises in the Caribbean, from sailing ships to mega-ships. The Caribbean is a premier showcase for the best in cruising: from the largest and newest mainstream cruise ships on the planet, like Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas or NCL Norwegian Epic, to new and exciting premier ships like Celebrity Cruise Line's Equinox. Smaller luxury ships from Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, Seabourn and SeaDream offer more diverse itineraries to less traversed ports.

      With so many cruise ships in the Caribbean, pricing is often lower than other destinations, and competitive. Our cruise experts can arrange a Caribbean cruise that meets your needs best, along with any additional arrangements you might require: airfare, customized shore excursions, and pre- or post-hotel stays.

      Is Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines For You?
      Royal Caribbean Cruise Line offers a consistent standard of service on its fleet of large ships, with wide appeal for family cruise, couples, cruise groups, first-time or experienced cruisers. Royal Caribbean cruises offers a wide range of active adventures onboard.

      Cruising On Royal Caribbean
      Royal Caribbean Cruises has been a very popular line, and have also remained innovators. Royal Caribbean is the cruise line that introduced rock-climbing walls, ice-skating, in-line skating, surf-riding machines and boxing onboard their ships. They have also been innovative in creating a "mall" concept of shops and eateries on board some of their ships. Not all of Royal Caribbean's ships offer ice skating rinks or roller blading, for example. As a preferred agency with Royal Caribbean, our cruise expert can help advise you on the options available, and arrange the best Royal Caribbean cruise value.

      Oasis of the Seas & Allure of the Seas
      Many viewed the world's largest cruise ships with some skepticism. These ships are, however, passing muster with flying colors. A combination of resort, theme park and shopping mall, at over 225,000 tons and with up to 5,400 passengers, you may well forget you're cruising at sea while onboard.

      These ships are innovative, designed as neighborhoods. Central Park is open to the sky, with over 12,000 plants and trees. There's an elevator that's actually a 35-seat bar! The Boardwalk includes Royal Caribbean's trademark rock climbing wall, a zip line and a wooden carousel. The Aqua Theatre features synchronized swimming and diving extravaganzas.
      Bonus Amenities for Suite Guests
      Royal Caribbean suite guests enjoy spacious living accommodations and enhanced amenities including: slippers and luxury bathrobes, Vitality bath amenities, Ghiradelli chocolates at turn down, a pre-dinner cheese presentation one evening and petits fours plate on another, complimentary water and fruit, in-stateroom coffee and tea service, and in-room dining service off the main menu if desired.

      For Adults-Only
      With so many more families (and children) onboard cruise ships, cruise lines have recognized the need to create areas reserved for adults. Royal Caribbean may have been one of the first of the major large ship cruise lines that introduced adults-only Solarium areas on its Voyager-class ships. While anyone including children can walk through these areas, deck chairs and whirlpools are reserved for adults only, providing a relaxing and quiet area onboard.

      Wellness Program
      In addition to comprehensive spa and fitness facilities onboard, Royal Caribbean introduced its Vitality program, a total wellness program that helps guests navigate onshore and onboard appropriate wellness and activity options for an invigorating, rejuvenating and customized vacation. These activities can include meditation, tai chi, healthy menus, bike tours and ziplining.

      Are You Ready For A Royal Caribbean Cruise?
      Dee's Travel Agency will get it done for you and ensure you get any special promotional offers. Contact our cruise experts to secure your Royal Caribbean cruise vacation, or call 888-403-1804

      Top 10 Common Cruise Questions For Cruising Newcomers

                                       
      Cruising newcomers usually have more excuses as to why they've never sailed than there are ships at sea. Often, these excuses are based on misconceptions of what a cruise vacation is really like. If your mental image of a cruise vacation is based on "Titanic" (snobby rich folks playing shuffleboard and dining each night in gowns and tuxedos) or "The Love Boat" (lots of shameless hooking up between guests and crewmembers), or if it involves the notion of a floating, nonstop smorgasbord, you clearly need to bring your preconceived notions in line with the reality of modern cruising.

      To give you more insight into the contemporary cruise experience, we've answered 10 of the most common questions that are asked by travelers who've never sailed.


      Is cruising expensive?

      The upfront price may come as a shock, but remember that your cruise fare includes your accommodations, meals in main dining venues, activities (including children's programs) and nighttime entertainment -- not to mention transportation from port to port. When you factor in all of the costs you'd incur on a land vacation, as well as the great deals you can currently find on cruise travel, you'll discover that you can actually save money by booking a cruise, as opposed to a land-based vacation.


      Are cruises all-inclusive?

      No. Your cruise fare includes a lot (see above), but you'll pay extra for a whole host of amenities. Among them? Alternative restaurants, some coffee and ice cream bars, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, shore excursions, spa treatments and gratuities. The luxury lines include more, but even they are never completely all-inclusive. (Drinks and gratuities may be included in fares, but spa treatments and shore excursions won't be.)


      Are all cruise ships alike?

      Cruise ships come in a variety of sizes and personalities. You'll find a myriad of variations: big ships, small ships, explorer-oriented ships, absolutely decadent luxury ships, family ships, sailing ships ... and on and on! To help you choose the ship that will best suit your travel style,  We will help you Pick a Cruise Ship.




      Is cruising like going to Vegas or to a resort?

      Well, yes -- and no. These days, cruise ships do have all the comforts and luxuries that travelers associate with on-land resorts, as well as much of the glitz and glamor of destinations like Vegas (including bustling casinos and lavish production shows). However -- and this may seem obvious, but it needs to be mentioned -- you are on a ship. Rough seas can impact your itinerary, you must debark and reboard the ship at specified times, and your cabin will typically be smaller than a hotel room (unless you book the highest level of suites).


      Isn't cruising just for the "newly wed and nearly dead"?

      It used to be, but no way is that true anymore. Cruise ships are increasingly targeting families, offering children's programs and facilities that rival those on land. You'll find onboard water parks, teen discos, video games and a variety of crafts projects and interactive play. Singles can enjoy the camaraderie of communal meals and organized shore tours, special singles' meet-and-greets and a host of onboard activities. Hip and urban travelers will be pleased to find gourmet dining, high-tech and modern entertainment and late-night action at onboard bars and clubs. Gay and lesbian cruisers are welcomed onboard with their own meet-ups in ships' lounges. Charter cruises -- catering to gay singles, couples and families -- are also offered.

      Health-conscious and active travelers should note that midnight buffets have given way to expansive fitness centers, spa cuisine and an array of active, onboard pursuits like rock-climbing and Pilates classes. And, cruise lines are even offering plenty of shorter-than-usual (three- to six-night) voyages that are marketed to working folks, who simply can't give up two weeks or more.


      Will I get sick or seasick?

      You may have read news articles about outbreaks of norovirus on cruise ships. Norovirus is a stomach bug that spreads easily in contained environments, such as hospitals and schools, as well as ships. You can stay healthy by washing your hands often and using the hand sanitizer lotion found in dining areas and by the ship's gangway.

      As for seasickness, most ships are so big and well-stabilized that you can hardly tell you're moving, especially in the calm waters of the Caribbean and Alaska's Inside Passage. Radar helps big ships outrun hurricanes and other bad-weather patches, but if you do happen to pass through some rough water, any queasiness can usually be relieved by an over-the-counter medication like Dramamine or Bonine. If you are very prone to seasickness, ask your doctor before you leave home for the Transderm patch, available by prescription. Alternative remedies include ginger capsules and acupressure wristbands, available at most pharmacies. Also, note that the purser's desks on most ships can provide rations.


      Is cruising safe?

      Ships must follow an extraordinary number of rules and regulations that assure passengers' (and crewmembers') safety while onboard. The Coast Guard conducts rigorous, quarterly inspections of all ships that operate from U.S. ports, looking to make sure they comply with emergency-response requirements. Rather than sinking (a la Titanic), fire is the biggest concern, and when it comes to fire safety, ships operate under international rules, known as Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). The rules require most ships to have smoke detectors, sprinklers and low-level emergency lighting for escape routes.

      Within the first 24 hours of sailing, everyone on your ship is required to participate in a safety drill that includes trying on a nifty orange life jacket and locating your assigned lifeboat, on the odd (and rare) chance that you need to use it.

      However, cruise ships are like mini-cities, and you should take the same general travel precautions you would on land. Keep any valuables in your cabin's safe (or leave them at home), don't open your cabin door without verifying who's there, and give children strict rules about when they can and cannot roam the ship without adult supervision.


      Will I be bored?

      No way! You may need a map to navigate around today's big ships, and there's something to do in nearly every corner. For intellectual stimulation, you can listen to guest speakers, participate in Bridge tournaments or attend wine lectures. To get your heart pumping, play some hoops, or visit the ship's gym. There are pools for soaking and swimming, boutiques for shopping and spas for pampering. You can participate in contests, do crafts, watch movies, or simply grab a book and get a tan.

      Even on small ships, there's plenty to do during times when the vessels are at sea; most notably, these cruises tend to offer strong enrichment-oriented activities. Plus, remember you're not on the ship all the time -- most itineraries include a variety of different ports of call.


      Won't I get fat?

      Okay, we know the rumor that the average person gains about five pounds on a one-week cruise. But, for those watching calories, be assured there will be low-fat (and often low-carb) options on the menus and some healthy choices at the buffets. Certain ships actually have onboard spa cafes. And, many have simply done away with midnight buffets -- those longtime paeans of absolute indulgence. (After-dinner revelers can, instead, partake in hors d'oeuvres, served in late-night venues.)
      Aside from eating healthy, you can also burn calories by working out in the ship's gym, speed-walking or jogging around the various decks (or ditching elevators in favor of stairs), and mountain-biking, hiking and kayaking in port. Some ships have basketball courts, rock-climbing walls and rollerblading rinks for more onboard athletics.


      Can I stay in touch?

      On most ships, you'll get CNN or some other cable news network on your in-room TV. A daily news sheet may also be available, combining wire reports with stories from major newspapers. You can make phone calls from the phone in your cabin (though it's prohibitively expensive) and from your cell phone, as well. (Roaming charges apply.) Most ships have Internet centers and shipboard WiFi, so you can read e-mail and surf the Web.

      Why Buy A Cruise From Us?


      For most of us a cruise vacation is more than a luxury, it's an important ingredient in living a full, healthy and balanced life. We need vacations to reduce stress, recharge our batteries, and have satisfying experiences that come from exploring new places, visiting favorite ones, or relaxing on a tropical beach.

      That's why it is so important to purchase a cruise vacation that best meets your personal needs, and why we emphasize a cheap vacation can be an expensive mistake.

      How is buying a cruise vacation like ordering a meal in a restaurant?Most of us don't order the cheapest item on a restaurant menu. We'd probably be less than fulfilled! The value of a meal we order isn't how much it costs, but how well it satisfies.

      Similarly, most of us don't buy the cheapest car, because it probably will be less suitable than we'd like: we purchase the best we can afford. The value our vehicle provides is not in how little we paid, but in the comfort, reliability and enjoyment it delivers.

      It's even more important to take value into account in arranging a cruise vacation! Unlike eating out or driving a car, a cruise vacation is special: it isn't something we do every week. So why shortchange yourself on something so important?

      So do we have great cruise deals?Of course! As a major cruise retailer, we have access to all cruise specials and even have many of our own exclusives. The point is, we don't equate what costs the least as offering you the best experience -- that's not usually your best deal. So contact one of our cruise experts who can help arrange the best cruise that meets your needs.  
      the value of our expertise and first-hand experiences - we've cruised the world on a multitude of cruise ships. By tapping the knowledge and experience of our professional cruise experts, you'll attain better value than you could get on your own.

      Carnival Cruise Line Info

      Carnival is a mainstream cruise line with large mega-size ships. It's a great choice for people of all ages who are budget-focused or booking their first cruise, young honeymooners, and those who like to party into the wee hours. Carnival's Camp Carnival offers a great children's and teen's program, making it a good choice for family cruises. Dining and elbow room is not comparable to the quality found on higher-priced lines. Comparable cruise lines include Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean.

      "Total Choice" Dining
      Dining is always an important part of one's vacation experience. In addition to the main restaurants and buffets that provide decent fair that suit most everyone's needs, Carnival also has alternative dining restaurants onboard, like the reservations-only Supper Club (nominal additional charge), and complimentary 24-hour room service. Whether the culinary creations of French master chef Georges Blanc, healthy fare from the Spa Carnival selections, or the 24-hour pizzeria, a Mongolian Wok or the Indian Tandoor, guests will find Carnival's cuisine diversified fare.

      Accommodations & Spas
      Carnival Cruise Line's staterooms have always been spacious, though less luxurious than those of higher-priced cruise lines. Large staterooms is one reason a Carnival Cruise vacation is a good choice for family cruise vacations.

      Recently introduced on some ships are new spa-themed accommodation categories. These offer guests enhanced in-room amenities and preferred spa access. Spa staterooms are offered at a premium fare, but worth considering for guests interested in today's spa lifestyle.

      The new Carnival Dream features deluxe oceanview staterooms with two bathrooms, (similar to the design of Disney Cruises and ideal for a family cruise), and able to accommodate up to five persons. The ship sports a 19,000 square foot WaterWorks aqua park!

      There's the Cloud 9 Spa, (all of 21,000-square-feet on Carnival Splendor), with thalassotherapy pool, thermal suite, laconium, tepidarium, rasul, aroma steam, accupuncture, and 17 beauty and treatment rooms! Your Dee's Travel Agency cruise expert can best suggest the stateroom type and ship best for you.

      Carnival's Entertainment
      Carnival cruise deals always excel in the value offered. Beyond room and food, Carnival provides action-packed stage shows at sea. Plus, there's always something going on at night: a lively casino, late night comedy and music acts, the piano bar, the sports bar, karaoke and cozy lounges.

      During the day there's plenty to do when the ship is at sea. Most Carnival ships have a mini golf course. You can play basketball or pick up tips from the golf pro. Each ship offers a large fitness center and poolside games, not to mention Carnival's Twister Waterslide! Of course, some may prefer to enjoy the sun and relaxing in a deck chair with the day's cocktail, or a dip in the pool. There's a large outdoor TV screen broadcasting movies and music concerts.

      Carnival is for Kids, Too
      Most cruise lines offer various activities and programs for the "young" kids, which is one reason why this is such a great value for family cruise vacations. Carnival's supervised age-appropriate kids program for those aged 2 thru 17 will keep kids engaged and, in some cases, may provide them more fun than their parents are having! P.S. PlayStations onboard.

      Let’s wait for the cruise deal…

      …or how the early bird gets the worm… Over the years, there’s been a bit of a see-saw in the pricing of BOOK CRUISE DEALS, and many consumers, without a doubt are conufsed. After all, you read about this sale and that sale month after month. So some figure they’ll just hold onto their money, wait and book at nearly the last minute, and capture the best cruise deal.
      A lot has changed. Mostly cruise lines have learned how to manage their inventory quite well.  (Not surprisingly a good number of cruise line presidents came from an accounting/finance background. ) As a result, many lines are doing a good job offering the best pricing early on, then ratcheting up pricing as it gets closer to sailing date.  Sure, in some cases they’ll have cruise deals last minute to fill up empty cabins, but in reality, those last minute deals are becoming fewer.
      More to the point, what’s left over is often slimmer pickings.  The problem with the wait-and-see mentality is it’s your special vacation — and unless you’re one of the lucky ones that takes a few cruises or more each year and don’t really care, if it’s your annual or semi-annual vacation, you want to be sure it’s terrific.  With the most popular staterooms selling out first, by waiting one is often left with the least desirable staterooms — and that assumes you can still get a deal. Likewise, there’s a lot of pent-up demand, and travel agencies like ours are extremely busy taking new bookings.
      Some lines are already at 70% or more occupancy for 2011!  That means, of all their cruise inventory, they have 30% available this year that’s not already booked!  And many cruise lines have their best cruise deals on now.  So it’s our recommendation, if you’re planning a cruise vacation this year, the time to plan and book , if you haven’t already, is now.
      Take Norwegian Cruise Lines for example. Book any cruise by February 28th, and you can receive up to a four category upgrade within stateroom type, plus an onboard amenity book with up to a $400 value. On some weeks, they also have a free upgrade from an oceanview stateroom to a balcony stateroom.  These are great deals.  Of course, the longer you wait, the less likely to snag the full four category upgrade. Regent Cruise Lines offers 2-for-1 pricing, but on some cruises you can do better and get an additional savings. Many of those deals go away March 31.  Likewise with Dee's Travel Agency Cruises — we’ve got promotions going on now that will expire end of February…
