Southern Caribbean Cruise

Caveman Joe got home from his spring break vacation with his family this past week and realized something: Outside of Sporgy IX, he had no trip or vacation to look forward to. This just can't be. Joe always needs something to look forward to. There always has to be a major vacation already planned and agreed upon. Seems like he's been so busy lately, he forgot this major promise to himself.

He immediately got on the phone to Uncle Rusty. Both are Diamond Members of the Captains Club (membership has it's privileges) with Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. They decided that a spring break cruise out of Puerto Rico next year would be just the ticket. After some research, the boys settled on the Adventure Of The Seas and the rest is history!

One of the real attractions of this ship other than the great itinerary is that as of March 26, 2008 you can book a cabin for 599 per person and a mini-suite with a balcony for less than 1200 per person. Of course these rates will change, so why wait? Get on the horn to Royal Caribbean and sign up for this great cruise yourself!

The Adventure Of The Seas leaves out of San Juan, Puerto Rico and spends its first day at sea followed by a stop in Aruba, then Curacao, another day at sea and finishing up with two of the most popular islands on any Caribbean itinerary, St. Maarten and St. Thomas. The two days at sea are perfect for us as we really enjoy cruising through the beautiful waters of the Caribbean in March. March is almost the perfect time to go as well as temperatures average in the mid 80s and there is usually very little inclement weather to speak of.

This trip requires a refundable 500 dollar deposit. If you cancel your cruise before January 3, 2009 you will get all of your money back. Full payment is due January 4th. However, between January 4th and February 12th you can still receive a refund minus 250 dollars if you have to cancel. The idea behind booking now is to lock in these low, low rates. If the rates go lower, RCL will refund you the difference.

So, what are you waiting for? Book this trip now!
