Planning Ahead for a Mexican Cruise

My friend is getting married in October, but she and her fiance haven't booked their honeymoon travel plans yet. I have been trying to convince them to take a Mexican cruise, but they are working on a budget and say they might have to stay closer to home.

Well, wait until they see the following deals. Right now Carnival Cruise Lines is offering deep discounts to Mexico provided you book early... as in five months early. If you are vacationing on a budget consider checking out these amazing rates (some prices have been slashed by 77%) for voyages that will take you to Mexico's white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and Mayan ruins.

Less than $250

It doesn't get much cheaper than this. Carnival's November 17th and December 1st 5-day voyage to the Yucatan Peninsula is selling for an unbelievable $229 (interior rooms). Your trip departs from Mobile, Alabama and you will enjoy a full day at sea before arriving in Cozumel. Calica is the next stop, followed by a day on the Gulf of Mexico and back to Alabama.

Less than $300

Say goodbye to the winter blues with a January cruise departing from Louisiana to the sunny and warm Yucatan Peninsula. Book now and you can save 73% off an inside cabin on the five-day January 10, 2009 trip. For just $269 you will set sail from New Orleans, and stop in Progreso, near the Yucatan capital of Merida and the island of Cozumel. If you can't wait until 2009, rates on sailings November 1-15 start at $299, and increase slightly to $309 for the December 8, 2008 voyage.

Less than $350

You can save 67% on an interior cabin by departing from Galveston, Texas on January 10 or January 24, 2009. For just $329 you will visit Cozumel and Progreso plus enjoy two entire days at sea. If you can't wait that long you can still take advantage of deep discounts on 2008 departures, interior units, normally priced at $999, are going for $349 at the end of November.
