Inexpensive Holiday Cruise Vacations

I have been noticing that the cruises that are provided by the cruise lines have even a bit cheaper than what I had previously seen.

Some may think, "Here I am nine days before Christmas. I wonder if I can get an inexpensive Christmas cruise?"

There are Christmas, New Year's and Valentine's Day cruises as well as other thematic cruises offered. But, I wouldn't necessarily look specifically for a Christmas cruise --  especially at this late time. Of course, if my wife really wanted a Christmas cruise, I would look for that first.

I would be looking for an inexpensive cruise that starts or runs through Christmas. For that matter, an inexpensive cruise that is over the New Year's holiday could just be that special Christmas present that you've been looking for.

Don't forget that if you don't find something for Christmas or New Years, there is always Valentines day.

Inexpensive Cruise Vacations

My wife and I just got back from a short two-night trip to Idaho. It is 500 miles one way to Twin Falls. We went to attend my grandmother's funeral. She was 95 years old.

On my way back home, I was adding up the expenses and found that the two night trip to Idaho cost us $300.00. I decided to not count the cost of the car or gas since I am planning on comparing this to a cruise.

Now we can all see how inexpensive these cruise ship vacations really are.

The last four night cruise we took cost us $400.00 for the two of us. The trip to Idaho cost us $300.00 for two nights. If we would have stayed another two nights, it would have easily cost us another $180.00 just for the room. The meals, of course, are extra.

The cruise that cost less than the trip to Idaho has some other things available to it that the road trip didn't have:

• Live entertainment


• Five course meal for each of us each day. (We shared meals in Idaho)


• Dancing


• Live bands


• Traveling to other cities

That's to just name a few differences. We were honored to attend my grandmother's funeral and we are glad we did it. But it also gives us a good idea of the value we have in an inexpensive luxury cruise vacation.
