Affordable Honeymoon Cruises Want a great honeymoon but don't want to break the bank or burst your credit card limit? Consider joining a cruise. Sounds expensive? It needn't be.The good news for you is that there is a wide array of choices when it comes to European cruise packages, and at very attractive prices. Just how cheap can you expect? It is not surprising to pay less than $100 a day for a cruise to the Caribbean, if you know where to hunt. Expensive cruises are a thing of the past as more and more cruise ships have been built. These new cruise ships are larger and can accomodate more passengers as they have more number of rooms. Hence, cruise tickets are no longer exclusive and quickly snapped up upon release like they were 20 years ago. Simply follow these tips and you will be on your way to planning a great budget cruise honeymoon. Tip #1: Choose a brand new cruise ship. Most maiden voyages offer large discount rate. This discounts aimed to have customers go frenzy and spread the news to their family and friends. What better publicity to have than word of mouth advertising to kick-start a new liner? They usually put up large discounts to their first ever customers, and that, my friend, is you. Tip #2: Try to book in groups. You are likely to travel to places with friends, family members, and colleagues. Booking in groups will make you save a lot. For example, a group in a cruise totals to 16 persons who are to occupy an approximate of eight cabins. At times, the cruise liner ships give discounts per ticket or may either give the 16th ticket all for free. Tip #3: Become a loyal customer. If you just can't get over a cruise travel and you want to repeat the same experience over and over again, then you must keep yourself updated with the repeat passenger programs offered by the cruise liner. The discounts given often range between five percent up to twenty percent. One good way to do this is to sign up for their newsletter so you will be the first to know about their offers. Tip #4: Go for their promotion deals. Some of the common deals offered by the cruise liners are free hotel accommodations. You may monitor these offers by getting Internet updates from websites and newsletters. Tip #5: Off season cruise. Its no rocket science. You get big discounts during times when cruise liners have difficuties filling up their rooms. Although this varies from destinations to destinations, this usually happens at the beginning of fall. Since you already know that prices will be cheap this time of the year, booking way early will give you even better options and discount. Tips #6: Choose large cruise companies. These are the companies that have many numbers of cruise ships with many discounted tickets to choose from. Larger companies are also not likely to compromise on the package you receive even as discount price, unlike smaller companies. Tip #7: Book way early or last minute. Prices will be significantly lower as cruiseliners want to fill up empty rooms left as the departure date closes in. It will not be business savvy to sail with many empty rooms, so rooms will be made available at a fraction of its original price. This is a good move on their part to cover overheads such as fuel and salaries. Plus, they will be happy to have more passengers as they can easily make a profit with other services provided on board. It is truly a win-win situation.
