Choosing the destination for your cruise vacation shouldn’t be so difficult. There are cruise tours that operate all year round, so all you need is to see if there are places available for your desired period, especially if we are talking about September 2009 or October 2009 which are almost here. For instance, September is your last chance for 2009 to take a cruise tour in Alaska. After that, it would be too cold and there are no operators willing to take you there to freeze.

Alaska Royal Caribbean Cruise Tours for September 2009:

For the fist part of September, all cruise tours are served by either Serenade Of The Seas or Radiance Of The Seas ships, the port of departure being Vancouver, British Columbia. Beware that those cruises are 11-12 nights and they start in late August. There are about 6-7 cruises which still have free places, so if you want to book your cabin you probably need to hurry up.

There’s a series of royal cruise tours that start on September 1st, with departure from Seward, Alaska. Almost all of them are fully booked already. I think there’s still one where you can find places at a price of $1528, on Radiance Of The Seas.

Australia Royal Caribbean Cruise Tours for September-December 2009:

This is an excellent occasion to think of booking a royal cruise or even a cruise tour to Australia, either in September or later on, maybe even in December and celebrate the New Year’s Eve on board of the ship. All September cruises to Australia start from the departure port in Honolulu, Hawaii. The price is less than $2000. It’s not too much, if we take into consideration the travel conditions, the leisure facilities and the distance covered.

Extra midsized boats stand for a roomier and comfy Caribbean vacation travel cruise, with all the overhaul and conveniences you’d anticipate, but no awaiting in long lines for dinner, breakfast, lunch or port of calls. Everything seems to be there just for you, as on some of these ships, you have one staff person for three passengers only.

Three-Night Fascination or Four-Night Fervor: Your Royal Cruise Choice

Here you can find a few cruises available from Royal Caribbean, so you can see for yourself what you can do and what you can see in such a cruise:

7 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise (San Juan Round-Trip)

Served by the ship called Serenade of the Seas, this Royal cruise is taking you to the following ports of destination: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. John’s, Antigua; Castries, St. Lucia; Bridgetown, Barbados; San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The prices go from $549 if you choose to stay in a cabin with inside view, to $649 for ocean view, to $799 if you want to have a balcony, up to $1399 if you want to book a suite. What vacation do you think you can have anywhere on land for this kind of money? I think such cruises are really an alternative to classical vacations in resorts on land.

There’s another 7 days Royal cruise which takes you in a San Juan round-trip, served by another ship, Adventure of the Seas, which stops in the following ports: San Juan, Puerto Rico; Aruba, Dutch Caribbean; Willemstad, Curacao; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; San Juan, Puerto Rico. For this one, prices are lower, the inside view place in the cabin being $449 and the suite $899.

7 Night Eastern Caribbean Cruises

These cruises can either be Miami round-trip or Orlando round-trip. The Miami one is using the Liberty of the Seas ship, while the Orlando cruise is using Mariner of the Seas.

The ports of call in the first case of Royal cruise are: Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Labadee, Hispaniola, Haiti; Miami, Florida.

For the Orlando round-trip cruise, the ports of call are: Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida; CocoCay, Bahamas; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida.

Here I have to mention that CocoCay in Bahamas and Labadee in Haiti are two exclusive destinations of Royal Caribbean company, and I heard only great things about both of them.

6 Night Western Caribbean Cruise (Ft. Lauderdale Round-Trip)

Starting from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this cruise takes you to Belize City, Belize, then to Costa Maya, then to Cozumel, both in Mexico, then it ships you back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for a 6 night round trip. Independence of the Seas is the ship which serves this cruise line. The prices are in the same range with the others mentioned above and they include port charges. Other fees and taxes may apply.

If your time is limited, or you have a tighter budget, you can go for instance on the 4 nights Bahamas Miami round-trip cruise, with the refurbished ship Majesty of the Seas, where the most expensive place is $649 and the cheapest is $129. This is less that one weekend in the mountains, at least in the place where I live.

I’ve given you only a few examples here, but you can choose among several hundreds of cruises, so we can safely say that there’s a Royal cruise for everybody.

Royal Cruises Benefits

A Royal cruise can offer you the adventure you’ve always desired to live: you don’t have to just lay on the deck all day long and get a sun tan, you can also practice water sports such as kayaking, river tubing, swimming, diving, snorkeling, and many more. You can practically go wherever there’s enough water for the cruise ship to float in it. Sailing is one of the oldest dreams of the humanity, and it is one of the first dreams which came true, thanks to creative inventors and adventurers like Marco Polo.

Royal Cruises are served by ships which can accommodate even people with physical disabilities, so they can enjoy the spirit of traveling without feeling the discomfort of long trips by car or by plane. Being physically challenged does not mean it’s the end of your life as a tourist. Of course you won’t be able to do 100% what other persons are doing, but you can enjoy a Royal cruise around the world.

Where Can We Go On A Royal Cruise

Royal cruises cover pretty much all Earth zones where water flows. Depending on the time of the year, you can choose various destinations for your cruises, and you can even opt for a cruisetour, which is a combination between a normal cruise and a land tour, for a richer experience of the tourists.

For example, from May to August, you can take a cruise in Alaska, Bermuda, or Canada / New England. Bahamas is a Royal cruise destination which is available all year round, the same as Europe. Mexico is also available 11 months a year. Transatlantic cruises are organized from March to May and in November and December. Are you willing to go on a Royal cruise to South America? From November to April, a ship can be yours to take you there.

If you wish to go on vacation with your family, you can check for instance Royal Caribbean Cruises’ private destinations, Labadee and CocoCay. These are two islands which offer organized beach activities, so you can have your kids playing happily, and you can spend some time by yourself. However, if you want your kids to take part in the organized playgroups, you need to send a caregiver with him, or to accompany your child. If you didn’t know, some of the Royal cruises offer babysitting services for children who are at least one year of age.

So you see now why a Royal cruise can make your ideal vacation for many years in a row.
