Visiting Grand Turk Cruise Center On A Budget

By Marcie Goodman


Any family travel should be carefully planned on the budget available. Failure to do this may cause lots of stress and cloud the holiday. Even cruise trips which are thought to be too expensive can be done comfortably on a tight budget. Any cruise destination is worth visiting in spite of the prevailing perception that it is expensive and should be left for the rich. Places like Grand Turk Cruise Center are a must for any trip.

One way to save on money during a trip is to stick to the free activities on the ship. These will keep you and the children happy without spending a dime. Consider the free live music, miniature golf, the movie theatre and pools. Avoid money draining activities like the casino, ship`s shops and the spa.

To save on booking costs, take an inside cabin. The balcony or land facing cabins are very expensive yet you will spend very little time inside them. You can take the ocean side cabin and spend all the day by the rail and enjoy the outside and other activities aboard. When travelling with a baby who naps a lot during the day, you may be forced to have a cabin with a balcony for the breeze during the day as you keep watch over the baby.

Another tip on saving on your trip is to buy prepaid soda cards. This way you save on drinks for the whole family every day. You can also stick to the coffee, tea or lemonade offered by the ship as a complimentary service. Have fun while keeping your money with you.

Some of the ship`s short excursions can be skipped along the trip. Visiting every port can prove to be very expensive if not checked. Even though some great places should not be missed, you can stay out of some and just relax on the ship. Alternatively, go for the trips alone or get a third party vendor to take you as they will be cheaper than the one organized by the ship.

Consider going for a cruise as a group, this can be a work group, class or even a loosely formed group just for the cruise. Many cruise lines offer discounts for groups compared to individuals. They are usually a group of 16 but with a travel agent, smaller groups do qualify for the discounts. Starting with the second cabin, you will get better discounts with incremental cabin you book while in a group.

Using a travel agent is very good for everyone as they usually have the best rates. You however need to make your own booking for the airline and hotel online, this is much easier and convenient the agent will give you very good rates better than those you will find online.

It is prudent to ask all the questions that you may have so as to clear all your doubts. You will find some stops along the cruise trip to be beyond your imagination. Visiting Grand Turk Cruise Center will put the icing on that trip you have planned for so long. Each port has its unique features, people and cultures, so enjoy all while keeping in mind the cost saving tips.
