Cruise Bargain Secrets the Travel Industry is Hiding

Everyone should experience the adventure and luxury of a cruise vacation at least once in their life. But beware what is not shown in the brochure for your cruise bargain. Virgin cruisers may have learn the hard way what gotchas to what out for before that cruise bargain turns into a rip-off!

1) You Get What You Pay For - Low come-on fares can offer lead to nickel and dime charges throughout your trip, leaving your cruise bargain looking like a real farce.

2) Hidden costs - This is where the cruise lines make a big chunk of their revenue. Know what is and what is not included in your cruise bargain.

3) Onboard charges - Anything you buy onboard will be at least 40% more expensive than you would expect to pay on land.

4) Hidden charges - Unexpected fees that were not clearly spelled out in the advertised cruise bargain can include port taxes, fuel surcharges, and mandatory tips.

5) Package upgrades - In addition, the cruise line or vendor will try to sell you on package airfare, airport transfers, and "luggage service" that can be had at a better price elsewhere.

6) Bad cabin karma - The heavily advertised cruise bargains are often for the least desirable accommodations onboard. Check before you book, so you at least know what you're getting.
