Spring Clearance Sale (January 19 – January 23)
If tropical destinations suit your clients' fancy, then gear them up for unprecedented savings during our 5-day Spring Clearance Sale, beginning January 19th! Book by January 23rd for savings of up to $2,000 per stateroom on Spring Hawaii cruises, or 7-day Caribbean cruise fares from just $75 per day! You could pay double for hotel fares alone on a land-based vacation to one sunny Caribbean isle, but when you consider the array of activities, fresh, flavorful dining options and entertainment included in their cruise fare, the Princess cruise stands out for its value.

Balcony Bonus Sale (December 28 – January 31)
As you may already be aware, December 28th began our latest Balcony Bonus Sale, which can help you save up to $1,000 per stateroom with free balcony upgrades on Summer 2012 Europe and Alaska cruises and cruisetours. These savings are available on nearly all 2012 voyages throughout these sought-after destinations.

Highlights include Mediterranean and Greek Isles cruises from just $1,490 for magnificent balcony views of idyllic ports such as Venice, Santorini and Dubrovnik. Whether the history and romance of Europe entices you or if you’re looking to escape completely on a scenic Alaskan cruise next summer, this is the best time to book, because our free balcony upgrades are only available through the end of the month!

Cruise Lines add tighter smoking restrictions

A number of cruise lines have instituted stricter prohibitions on smoking on their ships in recent weeks.

First off, we have Princess's new ploicy as of January 15, 2012: Smoking will still be  permitted in Churchill's cigar

lounge, plus a section of the disco and casino and a portion of the open decks. Smoking is prohibited in

show lounges, elevators, dining rooms and all food service areas. And as of January 15th, Princess will

no longer allow smoking in cabins and balconies across its fleet. Cigar and pipe smoking is permitted only

on the open decks

With Carnival Cruise Line.... effective December 1, 2011, smoking will be prohibited in all staterooms. Those

guests in balcony accommodations will be permitted to smoke cigarettes and cigars outside on the balcony.  However, spa
staterooms, now only on Carnival Splendor, Dream and Magic -- are totally
smoke-free, including balconies.

For Holland America: All restaurants are non-smoking, also the show lounge during performances. As of

January 15, 2012, Holland America prohibits smoking in staterooms EXCEPT for on cabin balconies.

For Norwegian...All indoor public areas except casinos and cigar bars are non-smoking. Effective January

1, 2012, smoking will be prohibited in cabins. Cigarette smoking will still be allowed on balconies; however,

cigar and pipe smoking on balconies will be prohibited.

Cunard is among the most liberal, nonrestrictive of the cruise lines at this point as they still allow smoking in cabins, on open decks and

in designated areas of bars & lounges.
