If you don’t have the funds for a high end holiday then one of the best ways to get away is to take advantage of low season cruise specials. Many companies have empty cabins that they need to fill in order to make the trip viable. If you keep your eye out and sign up to the cruise operator websites you can often get a great deal. I have several friends that do this and feedback indicates that you can save up to 50% on the retail price of a vacation. So if you’re short on cash but need a break then this is a useful tip for locating a great vacation on the cheap.
