Cruises Only (CruisesOnly.com)
Cruises Only is a website (cruisesonly.com) that aggregates different cruise deals, much like sites such as Travelocity aggregate different deals from airlines, hotels, and so on. Although the name implies otherwise, Cruises Only is actually not about cruises only, as you can find offerings that are not related to cruise vacations through the site; for example, you can book car rentals through the site.
