Royal Caribbean's best 2014 promtion

Over the past couple of months, cruise lines have offered some great promotions.  Several that Royal Caribbean previously offered were buy one get one half off, kids sail free, reduced deposit or last month’s promotion to receive up to $1500.00 on board credit.  Of course the $1500.00 on board credit applied to Alaska or Europe 7+ night cruises. 

I have to admit I really wasn't a big fan of the promotions that many of the cruise lines offered this fall...until this week when Royal Caribbean announced one of my favorite offers!  Second guest 50% off, up to $300.00 onboard spending money plus 50% reduced deposit.  Finally an offer that combines all three promos into one.  When you break down the numbers and compare this promo to othersthis is by far one of the best in the market.

By combining Royal Caribbean's offer with our additional on board credits on many Royal Caribbean departures, this saving can really add up.  By booking your Royal Caribbean cruise with Nationwide Cruises and Vacations, we are able to offer an exceptional cruise value.

As of todaythis promotion is scheduled to end on December 31, 2014.  I don’t know if Royal Caribbean will extend this after December 31.  We can hope for a New Year's extension, but I would not wait to take advantage of this generous offer.

Since it is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014, the perfect time to give the gift of travel is NOW!

Over-the-water suites will be built at their boutique El Dorado Maroma

This past week Jose Martinez, president of Karisma Hotels & Resorts, announced a first for Mexico:   58 new over-the-water suites will be built at their boutique El Dorado Maroma resort in the Riviera Maya area of Mexico, located about 40 minutes south of the Cancun airport.

El Dorado Maroma is a Gourmet Inclusive Resort situated on Maroma beach, chosen by the Travel Channel as one of top ten best beaches in the world.

Roughly $7 million has been budgeted for the project and Karisma plans to have the suites completed by mid 2015.  Planning for the suite has been ongoing for over 5 years, as obtaining the required permits is quite complicated.


Personally, I am really excited to see this addition to the El Dorado Maroma. The resort is ideal for those seeking active relaxation in a luxuriously laid-back environment that includes gourmet cuisine, an infinity pool, ocean-view swim-up suites and impeccable service.  I have stayed at this resort and Maroma beach is a must stop every time I am in the region.  We look forward to arranging your stay at El Dorado Maroma, the ultimate beach-front resort.

Disney Cruise Line to return to Puerto Rico, adds new, exciting destinations

Disney Cruise Line is adding new destinations on its Caribbean 2016 itineraries.

New for 2016 Disney Eastern Caribbean cruises sailing January through April 2016 from Port Canaveral, is the port of Tortola, BVI, where you can interact with Dolphins with a visit to Dolphin Discovery or include a beach experience and explore the reef to view its magical tropical inhabitants.

In addition to Tortola, ports include St. Thomas/St. Johns USVI and Castaway Cay. 

As San Juan was one of Disney’s popular ports this year, Disney will be returning there on its Southern Caribbean 2016 voyages featuring a new port, Martinique, where you can sample a Caribbean "taste" of France.  Other amazing ports during this Southern Caribbean cruise include Barbados, Grenada, Antigua and St. Kitts.  As of now, Disney is offering only four January 2016 departures and it is best to book early for this itinerary.

The new cruises for early 2016 are now available to book.
Summer 2015, Disney is sending the Wonder to Alaska and Hawaii, while the Magic returns to Europe.  The Dream and the Fantasy continue to offer sailings from Port Canaveral.
