How to Save Up to 75% Discount on Your Next Cruise

Posted 14 January 2010 | By admin | Categories: Travel | No Comments

Ahh!  The joy of a cruise. If you’re an experienced cruise traveler you know what it means.  If you’ve never been on a cruise, it is only a matter of taking your first one and you’ll be hooked for life.

No travel experience in the world offers the pleasures of a cruise. It’s the ultimate stress free vacation. All-inclusive service, delicious food, luxury amenities, fantastic weather and exotic destinations are just a few of the factors that make cruising the fastest growing segment of the travel industry.

Now, what if you could combine all of that with a discount of up to 75% off?

Believe it or not, it’s possible from a company called Vacations To Go.

Way back in 1984, Vacations To Go realized that cruise companies had a dilemma. Their profits relied on selling most of their cabins well in advance at full price.  They couldn’t offer steep discounts on unsold cabins because people would just wait until the last minute and then all cabins would be sold at a discount. Vacations To Go approached the cruise lines with a way for them to sell their unsold cabins at a deep discount without affecting their full price market.

How did they do it?

Simply put, the cruise lines allow Vacations To Go to re-market their unsold cabins to their exclusive and highly confidential client list at huge discounts from the regular price.

Vacations To Go has now provided more than a million of their “members” with dream vacations at a fraction of the regular price, often as much as 75% off.  It has also achieved the highest level of recognition possible for exceptional sales and superior service from every major cruise line in the world.

So how do you get onto this exclusive and confidential list?

That’s the easy part – all you have to do is register on their web site.  That’s how you become a “member” and Vacations To Go is then authorized by the cruise lines to offer you these amazing deals.

It’s completely free and once you’re registered you’ll instantly have access to some really cool features.

The “90-Day Ticker” is a complete listing of last-minute cruise deals on the world’s best cruise lines, showing information on destination stops, port city, ship type and much more.  Customers frequently save more than half what they would normally pay, often up to an amazing 75 percent off.

And it’s not just last minute deals that can have huge savings.  The “Find A Bargain” feature shows special early bird discounts, two-for-one deals and promotions for seniors, military personnel and others that they’ve negotiated with top cruise lines.

Vacations To Go offers one of the widest selections of cruises.  If you know exactly what you want, or if you are new to cruising and are looking for help in selecting the cruise best suited to your individual needs, www.vacationstogo.com is the place to start your cruise adventure.

Thanksgiving Travelers Will Have Free WIFI at Many Airports

Thanksgiving Travelers Will Have Free WIFI at Many Airports

Posted 10 November 2009 | By admin | Categories: Gadgets, Travel | No Comments

That’s right folks.  We just got this on the Macworld website.

Many of you know (and are beginning to realize) that the Thanksgiving weekend is the busiest travel time of the year.  Things get hectic in Terminal 2 at O’hare and anywhere in LAX.  The business travel has to get to google to complete that last PowerPoint, and the college student returning home needs to finish some last minute assignment.  Why pay $10 for 20 minutes (or 24 hours, it all depends where you are) of boingo or whatever monopolistic ISP in that hot spot you’re calling home for the next twelve hours.

This holiday season, Google is offering free WiFi at 47 participating airports, from now through January 15th, 2010. According to the FAQ, Google’s doing this “to make the holiday travel crush a little easier.” To that end, the company is working with Boingo, Advanced Wireless Group, Time Warner Cable, Electronic Media Systems, Lilypad, and other airport Wi-Fi providers to foot the bill for airport travelers. The search giant also struck a similar deal earlier this year with airline Virgin America to provide free Wi-Fi on its flights.

And Google’s holiday spirit doesn’t stop with the free Wi-Fi. The company will also prompt folks using the gratis Internet connection to make donations (via Google Checkout, of course) to one of several non-profits—and will match the donations to boot (up to a maximum of $250,000). You’re not required to make a donation to use the free Wi-Fi, but doing so just might help you feel a bit more jolly.
