Top 10 Cruise Travel Savings Tips
Joe Ewart asked:
1. Maximum flexibility = Maximum savings – Most travelers have some flexibility in their travel dates, especially if planning ahead of time. Let your cruise specialist know that you can consider alternate departure dates that may have lower rates available. Keep in mind cruise lines will offer better prices and perks on sailings that are not nearing capacity. Tip: Shoulder or off peak sailings offer the deepest price cuts. For example, the departure right after the New Year cruise might be substantially lower.
2. Ask if “guarantees” are available. This requires that you have a little gambling spirit. Many cruise lines will offer a rate on a particular cabin category instead of an actual stateroom number and in effect “guarantee” that rate to you. Then the cruise line has the option of assigning you a stateroom in either that category or better. Sometimes you win and end up in a cabin several grades higher and sometimes you end up in exactly the category you were guaranteed. Remember, there is both an upside and downside to this program. Tip: Completely understand the process before booking a guarantee.
3. Upgrade programs. Often, your cruise specialist may offer a cruise line upgrade program. This means that you book and pay for category “X” and will be moved to a higher category “Y”. Again, there is an element of risk here. The fact that a stateroom may be in a higher category does not always mean it will be a more desirable cabin. For example, you might be in a nice mid ship balcony stateroom on Deck C and get an upgrade to a balcony stateroom on Deck A. While your new assignment may be the same size and have identical amenities you might end up in a less desirable location such as near an elevator or at the extreme end of the ship. And there are outside cabins that have views partially blocked by lifeboats or other equipment. On the other hand there are many instances of guests being upgraded several categories to wonderful staterooms. Tip: Advise your cruise specialist that you will “consider” upgrades offered but you want to have final say on any changes before they happen.
4. Special Fare Eligibility – One of the reasons that savvy cruisers find a knowledgeable cruise specialist and stick with them is the fact that there are many special fare programs that may or not be visible to cruiser’s doing casual research on the web. These include things like regional fares that are made available to residents of selected states. Caution: If you are offered a regional fare and you don’t live in that area and can’t prove residency, don’t do it. Cruise lines have the right to check you eligibility on sailing day and charge for the difference before you board. It does happen. Some of the other special fares being promoted today include active duty and retired military fares, union member fares, police and public safety discounts, airline or hospitality rates and more. Tip: If your cruise partner is a member of any of the these groups, the discounts usually apply to everyone traveling in the same stateroom.
5. Past Passenger Specials – Virtually every major cruise line has a loyalty club for its members with different levels and benefits. Joining is free and entitles you to special perks and discounts when you book on that line. For many commonly owned cruise lines such as Carnival Corporation, the offers extend across all the brands – Carnival, Princess, Holland America etc. Ditto for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. Tip: Many cruise lines started operation before computers become common and can not easily retrieve date for cruises you may have taken several years ago. However, if you send a letter to the cruise line listing the ships and cruises you have been on, most will take your word and credit you with those unrecorded sailings. This might have the effect of moving you from Gold to Platinum level and significantly improve the benefits.
6. Check for Group Rates: Many cruise agencies hold what is known as “block space” on ships. That means that they have reserved space at group rates, which can be up to 20% lower than individual rates. Many agencies that reserve space for groups hold aside several cabins for individual clients who might be able to depart on this date. While you may be traveling as a “group”, your cruise experience will be as an individual traveler. The downside might be that your dining time or section is affected by the “group program”. The upside is that you might benefit from some group amentias such as an onboard credit, free shore excursion etc. Tip: If your cruise specialist offers group rates, understand the features, benefits and limitations completely before you book. From the cruise line’s perspective you are a member of the “group” and fall under the policies and procedures for groups.
7. On board re-booking – Most cruise lines know allow you to book your next cruise with that line while on board. They may have what is known as an “on board sales consultant” or even a desk. This is usually a great opportunity to save. Generally, the cruise line will throw in some strong perks to retain your loyalty to their brand. Onboard credits on the future cruise can be quite substantial. Upgrades and other benefits are usually significant. Tip: Many cruise lines realize that you may not be sure when and where you want to cruise while on your current voyage. Not to worry, because most have a program where you can book on board with the flexibility to change to other sailings and ships via your cruise specialist when you get home and keep all the benefits. This is a truly a win win for you!
8. Seek out “Value Adds” – Over the past few years, cruise lines have instituted something known in the trade as The Level Playing Field. This was instituted to attempt to control the rampant rebating and discounting that occurred in the post September 11 travel slump. Basically, now the cruise lines have been partially successful in putting the genie back in the bottle by requiring cruise agents to all use the same pricing feeds. Because cruise agents do not purchase and re-sell the cruises but are paid a commission, the cruise lines themselves totally control published rates. One of the unintended side effects of Level Playing Field pricing is that the cruise lines had to find a way to promote “challenged” sailing dates. And they did this by creating Value Added features. They can include benefits ranging from dollars off certificates, on-board credits, pre-paid gratuities, free spa treatments, specialty dining experiences, casino credits to a free bathrobe or camera. Tip: Ask your cruise specialist to seek out sailings that offer value adds. They can significantly impact your bottom line.
9. Arrange your own airline tickets. If you need to fly in to your embarkation port most cruise lines have flight programs known as Air/Sea arrangements. The good news is that includes the flights and often meet and greet and transfers. The bad news is that in order to publish these add-ons the cruise lines have negotiated the fares far in advance and try to set the rates on a cost average basis. To you, it generally means that these add-ons may be up to 50% higher than the fares you can get by arranging the flights yourself. The one exception to this in many cases are Europe cruises where many lines maintain bulk contract fares. So it is always a good idea to comparison shop. Most lines allow you to purchase just the transfer package so you are able to create your own air/sea package at significant savings. And of course if you have several thousand airline miles collecting dust, this might be a good time to try to use them. Tip: If you are arranging your own flights, make sure to allow plenty of time for flight delays etc. Savvy cruisers will often invest in a pre-cruise hotel the night before the cruise so that they can avoid the stress caused by late arriving flights. Remember, if the airline leaves you on the tarmac for 7 hours and you miss the ship, that voucher for a free flight will not seem very appealing. And unfortunately, the airline will not compensate you nor will the cruise line refund your money as you are counted as a “no show”.
10. Travel Insurance: What’s the one thing you must bring on your cruise that you hope never to use? Trip Insurance! As you can see in #9 above things can and do go wrong. An affordable comprehensive trip insurance policy can cover many of these contingencies including, lost baggage, trip interruption, medical evacuation and more. Your cruise specialist can explain the various programs available as there are several. Mark sure you understand fully the coverage and limitation before accepting coverage and keep in mind that you can not get coverage retroactively. It’s a small, but absolutely vital part of your vacation expenditures. Keep in mind very few medical insurance polices cover you while out of the country and basic homeowner’s policies often do not compensate for lost luggage or other events. Just as in land based trips, the carriers responsibility to you is extremely limited by their contract and should a medical emergency arise on board or ashore you are responsible for all expenses incurred. Tip: Cancellation coverage is very specific. Understand what is covered and not covered. You can’t just decide not to go at the last minute without incurring substantial cancellation charges. And if you have any pre-existing health issues, this may or may not be a covered event. That is why it is important to actually read the coverage.

Financial And Holiday Protection
Kieron Sellens asked:
For peace of mind and financial protection on your holidays, many people look to bigger brand names, mistakenly thinking them to be better because of their brand alone. We examine travel protection from the main brands in greater depth.
Financial and Holiday Protection
“ATOL protected”. You hear it at the end of radio ads; you see it in the copy on flyers and in newspapers. It’s a brand name, and it could be argued that it is the best around because it has such successful and almost infectious marketing. However, there are other companies providing travel protection. We take a look at the various travel protection brands and to see which is the best for you…
What does ATOL and ABTA protected mean?
ATOL and ABTA (Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing and the Association of British Travel Agents) are possibly the most well known names in financial travel protection. But what exactly does each offer?
ATOL is based upon a license granted by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), an organisation founded by the government to regulate airlines and tour operators who sell package holidays which include a flight. You are NOT covered by ATOL if your airline fails and you had booked directly with the airline. Protection IS offered if you booked your flight through an agent or tour operator, but you are advised to confirm this at the time of booking. Furthermore if you booked a holiday through a tour operator that does not involve flights (e.g. you chose to travel by ferry, rail or coach etc…) this will NOT be protected by ATOL.
ABTA tour operators provide financial protection for the majority of situations. However they do not have to provide protection when only a single element is booked, e.g. ‘accommodation only’. In this case it is left at the individual operator’s discretion. Because of this, ABTA affiliation does not mean ‘complete protection’. ABTA travel agents offer financial protection against their own failure but do not guarantee protection against all the land arrangements that they sell.
What is AiTO travel protection?
The Association of Independent Tour Operators, or AiTO, is an organisation of specialist independent operators which also offer holiday protection. AiTO has its own financial protection scheme for travel customers, and ensures that any holiday booked through an AiTO tour operator is 100% protected.
AiTO travel protection ensures that should one of its tour operators go out of business for any reason at all, its customers are covered. One of two things will happen; depending on the dates involved, customers will either get a full refund, or they will still be able to go on their holiday.
Some holidays that are ABTA or ATOL protected can be on cheap flights and last minute deals. Is AiTO the same?
Many holidays booked online with no-frills airlines may not be ATOL or ABTA protected. As AiTO is made up of bonded tour operators, customers are covered as soon as they book with AiTO members. Many AiTO members can book no frills carriers meaning the flight is covered as well. In this situation customers won’t be stranded either at home or abroad if the airline goes under; as long as they have booked their holiday through an AiTO operator, they will be covered.

How To Charter A Private Jet
Jawahn R Thompson asked:
When you’re learning about something new, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of relevant information available. This informative article should help you focus on the central points.
Truthfully, the only difference between you and chartering a private jet experts is time. If you’ll invest a little more time in reading, you’ll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to chartering a private jet.
Are you in the process of planning a trip in the near future? Whether you are traveling for business or for pleasure, you will need to make travel arrangements, if you haven’t already done so. When it comes to making travel arrangements, there are many individuals who mistakenly believe that their only option is booking a reservation aboard a commercial airline. One of the many reasons for this is because of the cost. What you may not realize is that you have another alternative. That alternative involves the chartering of a private jet.
When it comes to the chartering of a private jet, there are many individuals who believe that the cost of charter is too high. While it can be expensive to charter a private jet, upwards of a couple thousand dollars, you may be able to find reasonably priced fares. There are a number of different ways that you can go about doing this. One of those ways involves examining any special deals or discounts that may be offered. As the need for afford ably priced private jet charters increases, more and more companies are offering deals and discounts; deals and discounts that may make the cost of chartering a private jet affordable for you.
When it comes to finding special deals and discounts, it is not uncommon to find deals that are offered on one-way flights. While a large number of individuals make roundtrip travel arrangements, it is not uncommon for one-way trips to be needed. Although one-way trips are offered by almost all private jet chartering companies, many companies are essentially taking a risk when offering them. One of the reasons for this is the return flight. Without passengers, a privately chartered jet will be returned back empty. This empty travel can be costly for private jet chartering companies and that is why many try and fill up their jets by using any means necessary, including offering special discounts. If these discounts are available, a private jet chartering company should have them outlined on their website.
In addition to special deals and discounts on one-way jet charters, it is also common to find deals and discounts being offered on roundtrip charters as well. While many of these deals and discounts may pertain to certain cities only, it is not uncommon to find deals and discounts that come restriction-free. One of the many reasons for these deals and discounts being offered is because of money. Although offering a discount on the cost of a privately chartered jet is likely to reduce the amount of money that a jet chartering company can make, it can also help to make sure that they do make money. If their jets are not being used, they will be grounded. Having a private jet grounded doesn’t only involve not making money, but also losing it. That is why many private jet chartering companies try to get their aircrafts in the air, at any cost.
As it was previously mentioned, a large number of jet chartering companies display information on sales and discounts online. In addition to regularly checking the online websites of popular private jet chartering companies, you may also be able to sign up for email alerts. By giving your name and email address to a private jet chartering company, that company may regularly email you whenever they have any special deals or discounts available, whether those discounts be for one-way travel or not. Signing up for these email alerts, if they are available, is a great way to save money without having to do any of the work yourself.
That’s how things stand right now. Keep in mind that any subject can change over time, so be sure you keep up with the latest news.

Great Historical Places in the World
Matthew Kepnes asked:
Historical sites are the wonders of the world. These old monuments were constructed by ancient cultures and give us insight into our past. They help tell us our history, how we think, and how our society developed. They gives us information about societies long since dead but not forgotten. There are many historical sites in the world but the four best historic sites are Machu Picchu, Tikal, Angkor Wat, and the Pyramids. Each of these places, spread out around the world, are the remnants of once vast and powerful cultures.
Machu Picchu- Machu Picchu means “Old Peak” and is located thousands of meters above the ocean. Millions of people visit this site each year over the Incan trail to this place. This historic place is located high up in the Andes mountains and was once part of the Incan Empire. It is a world heritage site that needs to be preserved since it is considered to be a sacred place by the local people. Not much is known about the site as it seemed to be abandoned only a few hundred years after use but many theorize it was a summer home for the Incan king.
Tikal- Situated within the Central American jungles, Tikal’s archeology and architecture, flora and thick forests are a popular tourist destination. Tikal is a world heritage site with beautiful temples that give us a peak into the lives of 7th century Mayans. Tikal was one of the biggest city states in the region and was once the most powerful Mayan state. It was lost to the jungle for centuries and has only been excavated over the last few decades. Many of its buildings still remain under the forest. The crowds here don’t come until mid-day so in the mornings, this wonderful place is all yours.
Angkor Wat- Angkor Wat and the Angkor temple complex are some the most visited tourist attractions in the world. People come from all over the world to see the remains of this lost city. It has been featured in many movies and everyone is familiar with it. Located in Cambodia, Angkor was once the capital of the Khmer civilization. Built in the 12th century, there are hundreds of temples and structures here to explore. The most famous is the main temple of Angkor Way, Bayon, and Te Phrom, the last being featured in the movie Tomb Raider. Make sure you come early to beat the crowds.
The Great Pyramids- The Pyramids are some of the oldest historical sites in the world. Located in Egypt on the banks of river Nile, the great pyramids are the major tourist attraction in Egypt. There are many pyramids in the world and around Egypt but when people talk about the pyramids, they are talking about the great pyramids of Giza. These three goliaths give us insights into the ancient Egyptian culture, one of the oldest in the world. For a small fee, you can even explore the insides of these great structures, which date back over five thousand years.
There are many world historical sites around the world that are important and should be seen by tourists. The sites listed here are the most popular. They see the most tourists and get the most fame. Travel is very beneficial to places in the world but remember to make sure you do your best to keep these places clean for future generations.

Carven Designer History
James Philips asked:
If you are an avid follower of fashion design and the industry itself, then you surely must have heard of Carven. Now owned by the Daniel Harlant Group that places major focus on developing fragrances, the founder of Carven was actually Carmen de Tommasso, who was born in France. Madame Carmen actually studied architecture at first, but shifted to fashion design, which was her first passion. It was in 1945 when she opened her business in the fashion capital of Paris, dubbing it Carven. Interestingly, the reason behind this name lies in the fact that Carven is a modification of Carmen.
It was in 1956 when she started releasing her collections, the first ever being on sweaters. This was just the first because after the release of that collection, there came so many licensed products that people all over the world welcomed with open arms. The main thing that separates Carven from other prominent designers is the fact that she pays much attention in the incorporation of very feminine details in her clothes. These delicate touches of white or of lace on the embroidery trim of her clothes make her clothes stand out amongst the works of other designers. Of course, Madame Carmen’s collection expanded into a whole new level as well.
The year 1957, for instance, saw Carven expanding into neckwear and releasing its collection of premier quality ties to the public. In 1954, Carven also released its swimwear collection. Furs quickly followed in 1966, as well as its new jewelry line, its blouse collection, and its Ma Fille children’s line, all released in 1968. This was also the year when its first ever collection of men’s wear was released. In 1985, the Monsieur Carven boutique opened its doors in Paris, and the business also ventured into designing uniforms for many airline companies, including SAS, Air India, Aerolineas Argentinas, and Air France as well.
But when it comes to its fragrance line, Carven has long been developing their own scents and blends, even dating back to the 1946. The following fragrances have taken to the liking of a lot of people all over the world: Ma Griffe, Robe d’un Soire, Chasse Gardee, Vertiver, Vert et Blanc, Eau Vive, Monsieur Carven, Madame de Carven, Intrigue, Les Exclusives, Carven Homme, and Cabaret for both men and women.

The Best Way to Travel on a Budget
Stuart S. Travel asked:
Well you won’t be traveling to Monaco and staying at a five star resort on a budget, will you? Maybe so! Mostly, traveling on a budget means finding the cheapest price for the experience you want.
When traveling on a budget it’s best to keep in mind the following points:
1. Travel in the off-peak seasons. You can save up to as much as fifty per cent off air flights and accommodation costs if you plan to travel in low season times.
2. Stay away from popular tourist spots (unless they are on your ‘must-see’ list). If you can go off the beaten track with your destinations, things can be cheaper to see and do and your cultural experiences will be richer.
3. Try camping. Not only is it the cheapest form of accommodation it’s a great way to get up close and personal to nature. It’s the best way to see National Parks and Heritage listed areas.
4. Look for special travel offers (or packages). But make sure you check everything that they include – and don’t include.
5. Invest in a travel pass where you are able. Most developed countries have a rail or bus transport system where you can obtain day, week or monthly passes that will get you around cheaply.
6. Get a work permit if you aim to gain employment while traveling overseas. Working can help subsidize places that aren’t so cheap, such as Europe and Australia.
7. Look for good exchange rates on the dollar. This may help you decide which country to travel to.
8. Think about shortening your visit to destinations that are expensive and increasing your length of stay in cheaper places.
9. Where possible use your credit card. The exchange rate is better.
10. When staying in a hotel, avoid paying for ‘extras’. Don’t touch anything from the honor bar. Don’t watch the in-house movies and don’t use the hotel phone. And try not to use room service too much!
On the world scene there are some great places to travel on a budget for under thirty dollars a day. In Asia you can try India, Laos, China, Cambodia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Thailand, Sumatra and Burma. In Central and South America you can visit El Salvador, Bolivia and Ecuador. If you are after a budget experience in the Pacific, try Fiji or New Zealand. Over in Africa there are some great budget destinations such as Kenya, Egypt, Morocco, Malawi, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Ghana. Don’t forget the Middle East where places like Iran, Syria and Turkey provide excellent value for money and wonderful experiences for the budget traveler.
There is no ‘best place’ to travel on a budget. Just be prepared to look around, avoid the pitfalls of unwanted costs in package deals or hotel bookings. If you want to travel and your budget doesn’t meet your expectations, be flexible and see if there is somewhere cheaper you might like to experience. You could be pleasantly surprised with your stay in India or Iran, when you thought you wanted to go to Tahiti.
