Cruises are not only the easiest way to see the world but they also offer more value for the dollar than any other international vacation option.
After all, where else can you unpack once and wake up every morning in a fascinating new destination? And where else can you spend as little as $50 per person, per day, and receive comfortable, well-maintained accommodation with twice-daily maid service, 3+ meals, a full slate of shipboard activities and nightly entertainment?
This unmatched value is magnified during economic slowdowns, like the one we find ourselves in now. With the cruise lines' price-to-fill model, weakened demand translates instantly into lower prices, and this year we continue to see prices at all-time lows in cruise markets around the world. In turn, the cruise passenger's bang-for-the-buck is at an all-time high.
Unlike airlines and hotels that accept empty seats and rooms during slow periods, cruise lines will do whatever it takes to sail full. All lines except the four 6-star cruise lines will slash prices as low as they need to in order to fill every cabin, even in a recession, and even the 6-star lines are now offering discounts that were once unheard of. They do this for two reasons. First, on most lines, a significant percentage of the crews' compensation comes from gratuities -- and there are no gratuities from empty cabins. Secondly, venues such as casinos, spas, boutiques, photography studios and excursion desks are completely dependent on onboard purchases, which of course are directly related to the number of people onboard.
All of this has resulted in the best bargains ever for people cruising today, and Interline Reservation Service has become the leading Interline Cruise wholesaler in Australia by being the best at finding and negotiating the lowest discounts in the industry.
