Cruising Europe is a Value. . .

I know this is my second consecutive entry about cruising in Europe. It's just that it makes me so sad to think that many people are not going to go to Europe because of the weakened dollar. The great thing about cruising is, you pay for most things upfront and you pay in U.S. dollars. You don't have to worry about room and board -- just the meals you grab while in port. My husband and I have even been known to return to the ship for lunch and then back to exploring afterward.

You also don't have to pay for transportation from city to city. You go to sleep in one country and wake up in another! If you decide to book your shore excursions through the cruiseline, you don't even have to use Euros for your tours.

Whether you like big ships like Royal Caribbean, Holland America or Celebrity, or if you prefer the luxury lines like Crystal or Regent, or if you want to try a river boat cruise (subject of a future blog entry), cruising Europe is a value. Don't count it out.

If you have questions about this, please email me.

Life is too short for bad vacations.
