Cruises,Traveling on the Cheap Side

I love to travel and take as many trips as possible each year, but I have to watch my budget, so I look for the cheapest ways possible to go see all the things I want to see.


Probably as far as the least expensive trips. I think cruises top my list mostly because if you need to stick to a budget you can. Once you get on the cruise ship you can be as frugal or as extravagant as you want.

I will be adding different websites that I use to find the best deals.

Obviously if you have a military discount that is probably the best way to get the best deal, otherwise if you can get an interline discount or a last minute deal that is probably the best.

My favorite cruise line is Disney Cruise line, honestly I am a huge Disney fan, but they are a luxury liner and treat each guest as royalty. Disney is one of the most expensive lines.  With Disney Cruises you will want to want for every possible discount. The Chase Disney card you can earn rewards to pay toward your trip. Last minute deals and interline discounts are few & far between. The least expensive times to travel are in September after school is back in session.

If Disney is out of your price range I have also traveled on Norwegian & Carnival Cruise lines.

I recommend always arriving at your port destination the day before the cruise departs to make sure that you and your luggage make it to the ship on time. Weather and all sorts of other things can cause you to be delayed.
