Greetings, Cruise Fans, Welcome to a midweek edition of the 7 Seas Cruise News. I'll be out of town for a couple of days, so Pat asked me to put together a quick update to all our clients and friends. Pat has run across some excellent prices right now. Carnival is having a big sale through tomorrow only on summer departures. Holland America and Princess have some nice prices, too, including Holland America' s Westerdam on October 28. This is a 7-night Western Caribbean cruise that includes a port call in beautiful Belize. The price is as low as $ 549 per person with an ocean-view cabin for only $ 50 more per person, double occupancy! Princess offers their stunning new Sapphire Princess for a 7-night Gulf of Alaska cruise on June 10 for as little as $599. Amazing prices! If you haven't planned a summer vacation yet, call Pat, toll- free, at 1-866-424-1090! He'll have plenty of time on his hands to help you find the very best summer or fall cruise fare. And now, just a bit of cruise news... Amtrak and Carnival Cruise Lines will resume their "Rail and Cruise" program out of New Orleans, with the resumption of four- and five- day cruise service from the Port of New Orleans on the cruise ship Fantasy beginning in October. Amtrak is offering discounts up to 25 percent for passengers traveling by rail to and from all Carnival cruises now through December 13, 2007. Passengers may combine their voyage on the Fantasy with travel to and from the ship aboard Amtrak's City of New Orleans, Crescent and Sunset Limited services. The City of New Orleans departs daily from Chicago, stopping in Memphis and 17 other cities. The Crescent departs daily from New York, with stops in Washington, Atlanta and 30 additional cities. The Sunset Limited departs Los Angeles on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays, stopping in Tucson, San Antonio and 19 other cities. Fantasy's four-day voyages from New Orleans will depart Thursdays and visit Cozumel, while five-day sailings will depart Mondays and Saturdays and visit Cozumel and either Calica or Costa Maya beginning Oct. 26, 2006. For additional information on the "Rail & Cruise" program out of New Orleans and locations in Florida, call Pat or email him at cruiseplanners7seascruises@msn.com. The way our friends at Carnival figure it, gas prices are rising, interest rates are rising, but Carnival cruises remain one of the best values available in the vacation market. This year even those who have yet to make their summer vacation plans will find some great bargains still available. In fact, there are some incredible values on "Fun Ship" departures - with rates up to 20 percent lower than last year. The Caribbean remains the most popular cruise destination by far and there are some particularly exceptional values on short cruises ( five days or less) within the region, with prices starting at just $229 per person. Shorter voyages are the perfect introduction for first-time cruisers who are able to test the waters without investing a lot of time or money. Outstanding bargains are available on week-long Caribbean cruises, as well, with rates starting at just $ 449 per person. And with Carnival's "Fun Ships" departing from 18 different North American homeports, consumers have a host of "close to home" bargains, including eight-day Caribbean voyages from New York aboard the Carnival Legend starting at $599 per person, and four- or five- day cruises to Mexico aboard the Ecstasy from Galveston beginning at $329 per person. For vacationers wishing to experience the Caribbean's newest destination, Grand Turk, a magnificent 10- square-mile island of the Turks & Caicos Islands chain offering beautiful beaches, watersports and some of the world's best diving, bargains abound. Rates for five-day Fantasy cruises from Port Canaveral, Fla., and seven-day Elation cruises from Miami - both of which feature visits to this spectacular island paradise, along with calls at the private Bahamian island of Half Moon Cay - begin at $349 and $449 per person, respectively. Carnival has everything ready for your visit to Turks & Caicos including a beautiful new cruise center, a huge swimming pool, and 800-feet of lovely beach. A brand new FM radio station signed on this week and will broadcast whenever a ship is in port. You can listen in at 97.1 on your FM dial when you're in port, or you can buy an inexpensive radio in the portside shopping area. That's it for this week! Call Pat for a great deal (and keep him out of trouble!). Until next week, smooth sailing! Teri |
