Cruiseport Hotel and Parking Deals
Close to Home Ports Provides Cheaper Cruise Vacations!

It’s a fact! If you choose a cruise that sets sail from a port that you can drive to, you will slash hundreds of dollars off your total cost when booking your cruise holiday. Just think about it, the cost of paying for airfare alone instantly adds an additional few hundred dollars to your total vacation price. If you plan on taking your kids too, the added cost for their air tickets can easily pay for one (sometimes 2) of your cruise boarding passes.
If you drive, gas to get to a port plus cruise port parking for the entire length of your cruise is still less expensive than purchasing flight tickets for the entire family. There are also many hotels that offer cruise travelers discount rates when staying over the night before or after your cruise trip. Many also offer what they call Park + Sleep + Cruise deals.
Let’s face it, we all appreciate the extra savings when it comes to booking a cruise but if we can avoid paying for airline tickets, we also avoid the added stress of potentially missing flights, avoid flight delays, avoid long lineups at security check points, and also avoid the hassles of dealing with lost luggage.
So relax, take a worry free cruise and feel good knowing that you saved hundreds of dollars by choosing to drive to a port rather than flying. The extra savings alone allows for a bigger and more rewarding travel budget. With the extra cash that you will be saving, plan on taking more shore excursions, visit popular port restaurants, and best off all shop until you drop!
Have a safe and happy cruise everyone!
