Cruising remains a bargain travel option even in a weak economy. Not only will the cruise industry begin to lower prices to attract travelers, but the cruise vacation includes transportation to various destinations, housing, meals, and entertainment.
Unlike other methods of vacationing, cruise travelers may unpack their suitcases once and still enjoy waking up in a new destination almost daily.

An increasing number of cruises sail from various U.S. based ports. Now travelers don’t even need to fly to the departure port, but may save money by driving there.
Several of the major cruise lines have announced they will begin dropping the fuel surcharge beginning December 2008 and January 2009. They reserve the right to reinstate the charges should oil prices exceed a certain amount.
All three of the big cruise operators—Carnival Corp., Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and Norwegian Cruise Line—have ended their fuel supplements, which they began instituting earlier this year as response to the then dramatic increase in fuel costs, David Eisen of TravelAgentCentral.com says.
