Before deciding to book your holiday cruise 2011, or even if you know someone, friends, family, workmates, etc. who are even thinking about cruising this article is a must read. It is irrelevant if it is somebody's first cruise or if they are regular cruisers, fantastic savings can and will be made just by implementing a few simple steps. I think everyone understands that while you are cruising, whether it be for one or two weeks and even longer, if you have booked a sight- seeing, or a sun worshipers holiday, from the minute you step on board and in some cases the time you leave home you are treated like Kings and Queens. From the lowest rated staff to the captain of the ship, from the food you eat, to the entertainment on board everything will be first class, making your holiday cruise 2011 something to remember. But please beware! Cruise lines prey on the fact that every passenger who walks up the gangway on embarkation day has absolutely no idea how the cruise industry truly works. As a result, it's virtually guaranteed that you'll fall straight into their clever and costly traps. Cruise lines are experts at getting you to empty your pockets while on board. It's almost like walking into one giant, floating Las Vegas casino. The ship's layout, the colors, the music...everything is designed to get you to spend more money. To add insult to injury, the cruise lines then charge you some of the most absurdly inflated prices for everything from drinks, spa treatments, shore excursions, internet, laundry, photographs, alternate dining, gifts and souvenirs and more... How do they get away with this? 1) Most people justify their over-spending because after all, they think that a vacation is not a time to worry about money. 2) Cruise lines skillfully conceal all of your options, creating the illusion that spending money is the only path to the amazing cruise vacation you're after. So what can be done about being ripped off? My brother to the rescue
