The great news: people are busy traveling again and cruise industry sales are WAY up compared to recent years! 

The not-so-good news:  cruise prices are going UP very shortly because of the increase in sales!  Carnival has announced their summer sailing prices will be increasing effective March 22nd, 2010.  And, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) just followed suit with an announcement that their fares will be going up a whopping 7% on April 2nd, 2010! 

So, what does this mean for YOU?  If you're even considering setting sail this year, drop me a line and I'll get you a quote ASAP before these increases take effect!  Remember, it doesn't cost you a thing to have me take a look and the price of a nearly all-inclusive (usually just excluding alcoholic beverages) cruise may just pleasantly surprise you!  For instance, Princess has 7-day Summer 2010 Caribbean sailings starting from just $499 per person.

This is looking like a popular trend, so I don't think we've seen the last of these price increases...
