Time is running out. Isn't it always? This time it's for taking advantage of cruise deals during National Cruise Vacation Week.
It ends on Saturday. Every cruise line has saved something for this alleged "best week of the year to book a cruise." That may be subjective, but this week does attract attention to cruising, and it does have some specials that are used to market lines and ships.
The best place to see what's available is the Cruise Lines International Association website: www.cruising.org/vacation/national-cruise-vacation-week-specials.
It was CLIA that came up with this…er, idea, but some of us think every week you're on a cruise ship is National Cruise Vacation Week.
And it's you who can take advantage of it!
