The honeymoon is coming up soon, and we've been thinking we want to make it a cruise. Anyone have any good recomindations. We're looking for the best deal at the least in cost. Any help would be appreciated. Being pointed in the right direction to look for prices online would be greatly appreciated too.

Not sure if it applies to cruises or not, but in my travel experience I found Travelocity.ca to be the cheapest online, and Expedia the most expensive.

When I was booking my last vacation, most travel agencies couldn't come close to what Travelocity had quoted me, until I called Airline Ticket Centre. Without mentioning the Travelocity price, they managed to beat it by $40.

Hope that helps.

I sent him an email, but when he went to send it back to me... it landed about 10 yards away from me. I should have told him that I would intercept it, and it would have come right to me.

End Daunte rant... Back on topic...

Damn, I wish I would have known about these flights before I booked my trip back to Calgary for Christmas. I could have saved $150 by using that last one.

Its weird how using those sites is cheaper than going directly through WestJet (which is what I did).

Remember to pronounce cruise as "crooce" like George Costanza's father.

Ex. I am going on a Carribbean crooce.

I'm still not finding anything for prices of cruises... But according to Pagal... A damn fine Daunte joke.

Is there anyone who booked, online or not, for a cruise?

Are you adventurous? Try this cruise in Chile (I did it 10 years ago):

http://www.navimag.com/navimag/html/ingles.htm

Every year, tourists from all over the world live the unforgettable experience of getting to know the mythical, scarcely explored lands of Patagonia.
The ideal setting for an adventure, Patagonia is a natural region with landscapes ranging from the pampas to the fjords and channels in which the snow-covered peaks of the Andes Cordillera are submerged. In this place, vast extensions of temperate rain forests merge with the multicoloured waters whose glaciers tell of the continental ice fields, mute witnesses of the latest glaciation.
On ferry-type vessels, Navimag offers the most extensive coverage in navigable routes through Patagonia, welcoming tourists and residents who are willing to be dazzled by its wild nature and to enjoy the experience of sailing through the channels bound for Puerto Montt, Chiloé, Puerto Chacabuco, Laguna San Rafael and Puerto Natales.


The cruise is cheap, but flying to Santiago can be expensive. Consider also a crusie to the Galapagos. For my honeymoon we took ferrys around to the Greek Islands. That is relatively inexpensive and lots of fun. One of the ferrys we took hit a reef and sank a few weeks later because the entire crew was watching a soccer game, and no one was steering the ship.

My wife and I did a Mexican Riveria cruise a couple of years ago - Mazatlan , Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos are the ports of call. Wasn't too expensive and lots of free tequila on the excursions

If you want something really special for your honeymoon, consider taking a Blue Lagoon Cruise in Fiji, probably one of the most unique and romantic cruises on the planet, and not disgustingly expensive. As a CPer, I'll give you a discount (I'm a South Pacific Travel Professional ) PM me if you're interested!
