Free cruises! Sounds good, doesn't it? If I told you there are ways that can cruise for free, would you be interested? If you're like most people, the answer is a resounding "Yes". The truth is, you can in fact take free cruises. And not just once, but on a regular basis!
Here are five ways to enjoy fabulous cruises at no cost:
- Get a job with a cruise line. You'll be able to spend your winters in the sunny Caribbean and your summers taking in the gorgeous scenery of Alaska. Or even travel to exotic ports in Europe, South America, Australia, and New Zealand. Actually, you'll be able to cruise all over the world. Working for a cruise line offers free travel to almost anywhere that interests you.
Most people pay anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000 per week
to be able to enjoy luxury cruise ships and visit exotic places. But you can do it for free! In fact, you'll get free meals and accommodations, plus you'll get paid for helping out on the cruise!
Working for a cruise line is a great way to have fun, save money, and meet people from many different cultures. It also makes a great summer job for students. Just do a Google search on cruise jobs.
- Win a cruise. Are you a lucky person? Many people win free cruises by participating in online sweepstakes.
But to maximize your chances of winning, you'll need to enter all of the sweepstakes that you can. Be aware that you'll end up on lots of mailing lists so use a free email account for your entries. You'll have to keep up with the contests on a daily
basis, but what the heck, it's free! Just do a Google search on sweepstakes.
- Be a Tour Conductor or Group Leader. Did you know that for every 15 cruise passengers (8 cabins) the 16th passenger goes on the cruise for free? All you have to do is get 7 couples to go with you on a cruise. You get to go for free, and your friends get a great group rate!
You can also start your own business as a Group Leader. Many organizations want to travel together but need someone to organize and lead the trip. That someone could be you. You can contact church groups, women's organizations, seniors groups, etc.
- Be a speaker. Most cruise lines are always looking for interesting programs to present to the passengers on their cruises. If you have experience in an interesting area and can present a quality program, you'll be welcome to cruise for free in exchange for your services.
You'll also occasionally be able to bring along a guest (or even your entire family) for free. So practice your public speaking skills and put together an interesting presentation, then approach the cruise lines with your offer!
- Are you an entertainer? Call your agent and tell him to book you on the next cruise to your favorite destination. You'll travel for free and make a few bucks!
What's that? You don't have an agent? No problem! Book yourself! Just tune up your violin, saxophone, or guitar, and head for the high seas. Your cruise ship awaits...
There you are. The rest is up to you. Each of these methods will apply to different people with different interests, but all of them work. All I ask is for you to send me a card and tell me how much you enjoyed your free cruise!
