Transatlantic Cruise from $22/day? They're out of their minds…and so are we if we don't grab such bargains!
Jeez…just when I thought the deals couldn’t get much better, here comes another Royal Caribbean itinerar
y at an incredibly deep discount. The ship is Vision of the Seas, transiting the Atlantic Ocean from Santo Domingo, DR, to Harwich, UK, departing April 19.
I’ve seen this itinerary discounted to US$299/person for an inside cabin (plus, undoubtedly some taxes and/or fees). It’s higher than that on RCI’s website (although not by much). Call your travel agent. Now.
THEN: be sure to list your cruise on your MeetMeOnBoard profile, like these guys who’ll be on board!
And let us know how your cruise turns out!
Cheers. Randall

The prices are great but beware of Royal Caribbean. My partner and I took a transatlantic in Spring 2005 with them. The ship was headed to dry dock in Lisbon so they started working on it during the crossing and some of the workmen were actually booked in the passenger cabins. Some cabins had work noise during the day starting early and the carpet was ripped up in the cafe before we arrived in Lisbon so it was out of commission. The purser was actually mean when we asked to get a Friends of Dorothy listing in the daily newsletter but he did it once, 5 days into the cruise. He refused to ever do the listing again. The fixed seating dining was definitely not to our taste at all, although we did meet a fun couple from Germany. Our overall impression of Royal Caribbean was that we’d never cruise with them again. We’ve had great luck with NCL, their Friends of Dorothy meetings and Freestyle Dining.
