Military spouse tells all about her recent Mediterranean cruise.



Thinking about taking a European cruise? 
Read what this military spouse had to say about her recent Costa cruise in her blog post,
 "What NOT to do on your first Mediterranean cruise and other insights".

"We just returned from our first 7 day cruise to Greece and Croatia. It's still quite unbelievable to me to be able to say that (even after four plus years over here) we took a train to Venice and cruised to Greece but...it's true.

One of the huge benefits of being military stationed overseas are the enormous and relatively inexpensive opportunities for taking those trips of a lifetime. I will say this cruise wasn't inexpensive but it was planned as our last hurrah in Europe....

Here are some of the lessons learned (and what it cost) from a first time cruiser."

Costa cruise line is based in Europe, but owned by Carnival.

It's true - we can often find a lower rate for your cruise even AFTER you book!


How would you like to get an email notification that the price of your cruise came down, and your travel agent has refared you to the new lower rate, saving you $200 off the price of your cruise?!!  

That's what just happened to Ryan H.  Read his review of Military Cruise Deals below.

"I just finished booking a cruise through Military Cruise Deals while stationed in Afghanistan, and I couldn't be happier with the service I have received. 

Going through the process of booking a cruise may seem a little daunting, but having Mitch and My Cruise Deals there to help, advise, and answer my questions, it really was quite easy. 

Their customer support was spot-on with friendly, quick and accurate replies to all of my inquiries. They also kept a keen eye out of price drops for my cruise. 

On more than one occasion I received an e-mail from Mitch stating that the price for my cruise had gone down! 

Booking with Mitch and Military Cruise Deals saved me time, headaches, and money. There's no doubt in my mind, I will be using Military Cruise Deals to book my next cruise."

Ryan's experience is not unusual. We are the only travel agency that:

a.  has the technology to monitor all our client's cruise rates around the clock, and get notified the moment the cruise line drops a rate,

b. and has the willingness to refare the cruise rate to the new lower one, even though it means we get less commission! 

Truly, thousands of military families have trusted us to book their vacations, and you can too. To read more reviews, click here!
