Vacations To Go-For REAL Savings On Cruises

Of course the advertiser blames the waning economy for the great deals, which is viable, as more people are putting vacation plans on hold. The list of offered destinations are impressive: the Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, the Mediterranean, even places like Africa and Antarctica are included.

The company advertising this stellar deal, Vacations To Go, claims that it is committed to helping the consumer save a ton on a dream vacation. The advert goes on to extol the company’s fine reputation that has helped people for the past 25 years “save millions” on discounted cruise vacations.

The way the company works—Vacations To Go claims that it has contracted with the major cruise lines by offering through its entity deeply discounted cruise rates on last minute cabin’s that were not sold prior to the ship’s imminent departure. Rather than the cruise line risk the ire of its customers who already paid the full price for the vacation, it lets Vacations To Go offer the same accommodations but for a lot less simply to fill the unoccupied space. The cruise line must figure rather than let the accommodations go unoccupied, it is better to receive something than nothing for a cruise that is scheduled to depart soon anyway.

Vacations To Go has, according to its advert, helped “hundreds of thousands” members save huge on cruise deals on some of the finest cruise lines available in the industry.

Members—that is always a word that either signals money to join or the promise of the first born before a deal can be reached. So what is the catch? Well according to the advert there is no catch; there is no fee to join and access to vacations across the world are only a click or two away after “joining.”

Once the wary consumer says ‘okay well maybe’ and goes to the site to “join,” of course he or she is immediately met with a form to fill out: name, country, zip code and email address—thankfully no insistence on providing credit card information because that is usually the signal to run not walk from the site.

And just like the advert promises—once “registered” instant access to cruises happening within the next 90 days are being reflected from the screen to the consumer’s eyeballs—almost in disbelief but there they were. The site is set up kind of like an excel program with rows and columns. Column headers begin with Nights, Sailing Date, Departs From, Ends In, Cruise Line / Ship, Ship Rating 1-6 Stars, Starting Price, Our Starting Price, YOU SAVE!!

Simply scroll down from there. Destinations are listed alphabetically so if an Alaskan cruise has been something that a potential traveler aspires the first listing reads: 16 (Nights) Sep 12 (Sailing Date) Vancouver, BC, Canada (Departs From) Tokyo (Yokohama), Japan (Ends In) Silversea / Silver Shadow (Cruise Line) 6.0 (Ship Rating 1-6) [the Sliversea/Silver Shadow are obviously nice ships] $15,995 (Starting Price) $7,198 (Our Starting Price) 55% (Price YOU SAVE!!).

So the interface is very user friendly. If a cruise is in the crystal ball of the potential traveler’s future, check the site out at VacationsToGo.com. It costs nothing to join and the example above is one of many, many destinations and price points. Hopefully, upon more in depth investigation, the cruise of a lifetime awaits the weary who is in the market for a much needed vacation at a great price.
