One of the most popular ways to experience Mexico is on a Mexico cruise. A Mexico cruise offers more than just sunny skies and white sand beaches – a Mexico cruise is probably one of the most festive cruises on the map. Mexico is a year-round destination which means the different types of Mexico cruises are vast and varied. You can take a two-day Mexico cruise, a 10-day Mexico cruise, and even a 15-day or more Mexico cruise with ports of call such as: Cozumel, Costa Maya, Playa del Carmen, Meridia, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta.
Typical embarkation ports include: Galveston, Texas, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, New Orleans, Port Canaveral, Mobile, Alabama, San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Mexico cruises also offer numerous shore excursions that highlight historic tours, adventure tours (hiking, biking, boating), nature tours, nightlife tours, shopping tours, and guided tours of ruins, to name a few.
Depending on a variety of factors such as season, cruise line, length of cruise, accommodations, ports of call, cruise ship, etc., a Mexico cruise can cost as little as several hundred dollars up to $1,000 or more.
If you want to save on a Mexico cruise, there are a several tricks and tips that can help you maximize savings. Cruise lines love advance booking, so you may enjoy special incentives, credits, and cash back just for booking far in advance. If you’re one to procrastinate – no worries, there are benefits for you too! If a cruise isn’t completely booked several weeks or so before the cruise is set to sail, prices are slashed. If you book last minute, you may enjoy savings up to 75 percent. Cruise lines will do anything to fill up those last few rooms!
Other ways to enjoy additional savings on a Mexico cruise include: booking with a group/family, taking advantage of package deals, booking online, and booking with popular cruise lines that sail to Mexico.
Some of the most popular cruise lines sailing to Mexico include: Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, Holland America, Norwegian, and Celebrity Cruises.
Besides special rates for groups and families, just about every cruise line has special rates for seniors. A senior is typically defined as a person who is 55 or older. The only drawback is, to lock in the special rates you can’t book online. You must call a cruise travel specialist or book directly with the cruise line. Keep in mind that proof of age is required.
