Cruise deal: Kids sail free in the Caribbean & Mediterranean
Cruise.com is having a big sale, and the first thing that caught my eye were the “Kids Cruise Free” deals. I found a list of eight different 7-10 night Caribbean cruises where kids could sail for free.
Deal: Children 17 and under can sail free when traveling as the third or fourth guest in a cabin with two full-fare paying guests. Make sure to ask for the “December Blowout” sale when you call. Here are a few sample packages I tested through the promotion.
7-night W. Caribbean — starting at $379 per person before taxes and fuel surcharges. Departs Dec. 13 on the MSC Lirica, round trip out of Fort Lauderdale.
7-day E. Caribbean — starting at $1,017 per person before taxes and fuel surcharges, but including several departure dates in April, May and June 2009.
10-day S. Caribbean — starting at $698 per person before taxes and fuel surcharges. Departs March 4, 2009 on the MSC Lirica, round trip out of Fort Lauderdale.
7-day E. Mediterranean — starting at $1,017 per person before taxes and fuel surcharges, but including several departure dates in April, May and June 2009 on the MSC Poesa, round trip out of Venice.
Update: @WeJustGotBack notes on Twitter that kids under 17 always sail free on MSC, “when traveling with two adults in the same stateroom (some restrictions may apply.)” Inquire direct with MSC for details on the restrictions.
Caveat: All passengers are subject to tax, and fuel surcharges are added per stateroom.
When: Offer expires Nov. 14, 2008

Susan Spano’s Sunday article on American military cemeteries in Europe was fascinating. Over the past few years, I have visited cemeteries in Alsace-Lorraine in northeastern France,Luxembourg, where General George Patton and the men who died durng the Battle of the Bulge are buried, and the Normandy Cemetery, which is on a bluff above Omaha Beach. This last one is where the opening and closing scenes of Saving Private Ryan were shot. Walking around the 10,000 crosses and Stars of David was a moving experience. I could almost see the young men whose names appeared above their graves.
Ths staff in the visitor center was friendly and helpful. A trail from te edegh of the cemetery leads down to Omaha Beach, where I collected sand from near the water’s edge. I brought the sand home. Each time I look at the box containing the sand, I am transported back to June 6, 1944. These cemeteries are definitely worth visiting. All are within a few hours drive from Paris. Check out the website for the American Battle Monument Commission.

You get great value for the money with a cruise. My daughter and her husband just returned from a honeymoon cruise to Mexico. Consider registering for you honeymoon so your guests can buy things for you to do on your honeymoon. It’ s similar to registering for dishes at a department store.
