Ready, Set, Cruise!

Resort to Resort members continue to exchange use of their resort homes for Cruise vacations in record numbers in 2005.

Maximize your vacation by booking up to a year ahead of time. Unlike other vacations, cruises do not tend to lower in price the closer to the arrival date. Cruising is one of the most popular vacations for North Americans, and the cruise lines do not tend to mark down or "distress" excess inventory. So planning ahead for busy times like Spring Break or Christmas can be the key to achieving your perfect vacation! Remember, if your children are out of school, so are everybody else's!

Picking a cruise can be intimidating - after all, ICE offers you over 2000 to choose from! A good way to start is to ask yourself what general area you want to cruise through. The Caribbean? Alaska? Mexico? Then, narrow down the dates to a month you can travel. Simply hit "Search" and a variety of cruises will appear for you to look through. Please be aware that the prices are estimated and are per person. Call us for a final quote. Our cruises include port charges and government fees, so when price checking, keep that in mind!

Think about flights - are you booking using points or rewards programs? Get a good idea of the availability of flights before you settle on your cruise - in the time it takes you to arrange complicated flights, you could lose your cabin!

Nervous about catching your cruise? Ask us about booking transportation to and from your departure and arrival points. Arriving the night before? We can offer assistance on booking local hotels.
