Own Part Of Your Ship… And Get Free On Board Credit!

Have you ever considered buying part of your ship so you can earn yourself some on-board credit? That’s what we have been talking about in the www.CRUISE.co.uk office today as the news came in that passengers are buying shares in their favourite cruise line to earn themselves on-board credit. Disclaimer: www.CRUISE.co.uk are not qualified financial advisers. Please consult with someone in the know before purchasing your shares! The amount of on-board credit that you receive will depend on the duration of your cruise. For example, with Carnival cruises you could expect £150 OBC for 13 night sailings, £60 for 7 night sailings and £30 for less than 6 nights sailing. To enjoy this free credit, you would need to purchase at least 100 shares. So this can work out as a pretty pricey investment to get yourself some free credit! But some passengers have argued that it’s worth it, to claim that they own part of the line and the ship they are sailing on. Of course, if you play the share game properly you just might be able to sell later down the line, and maybe even book another cruise with the profit! We can dream at least, eh? Disclaimer: www.CRUISE.co.uk are still not qualified financial advisers. We think investing in a cruise line for a bit of a discount is a great idea, and so did forum...

How To Cruise With Stubborn Teens With Ease

Teens are notorious for being hard to please (no offence guys). They hit a certain age and suddenly everything becomes ‘boring’ and ‘lame’. Family holidays become harder to plan as your awkward offspring become less and less willing to follow your itinerary and more set on doing their own thing (let’s admit we all got to that stage at some point)– but mention a ‘kids’ club’ and prepare for a potential tut or eye roll in response. The good news is that, with the right ship, a cruise holiday can get a rather cool thumbs up from even the most...

Cruise Lines Respond To Zika Virus Panic

You may have heard in recent weeks about the Zika virus which is affecting pregnant women and causing babies to be born with shrunken heads and brains. The virus has made headlines after the World Health Organisation predicted up to four million people could become infected by it. Thousands of children have been infected by the virus in Brazil so far and it has now spread to over twenty countries including The Dominican Republic, Haiti and Barbados. It has spread relatively quickly as it is passed on by mosquitoes. The virus currently has no cure and mosquito prevention (such as using DEET and covering up skin) is the only deterrent. Anyone can be infected by the virus, and symptoms can include those similar to dengue fever (although milder) and include a mild fever, head ache, joint pain and a rash. It is not normally serious and some people will have no symptoms at all. However, when Zika infects pregnant mothers the infection causes foetus’ not to develop properly. It is thought that the children born with shrunken heads will have severe mental disabilities. The elderly and those with compromised immune systems are also at much higher risk from the virus. Whilst women can only travel for up to 24 weeks of their pregnancy on-board most cruise lines, travelling to countries on a cruise which are affected by this...
