Pacific Coast or Baja California Cruise $199+ per person

Sure...sure... you will be tucked away in a 180 square foot windowless room, but you do get complimentary room service down there!



Travelocity is advertising some pretty good cruise deals this week. The 3-night Norwegian Pacific Coast cruise runs roundtrip from L.A to Vancouver, while the 4-night Carnival Baja trip runs roundtrip Long Beach to Catalina to Ensenada. There are some inexpensive Bahamas and Gulf of Mexico cruises to be had as well. Many of these offer a $25 onboard ship credit when using your Mastercard for payment. Still some good sail dates left in late Spring and early Summer. Book soon.
