Vacation on a Cruise Ship

Some of the top cruise lines, like Carnival, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity offer short cruises, especially weekend cruises. These cruises are naturally cheaper than their week long cousins. With the increased availability of cruise ports you may also save the cost of airfare by driving to the departure city.
The so-called "Cruise to Nowhere" doesn't stop at any ports and is popular for a quick couple of nights out on the ocean. There are also some very nice ports of call the are close by and make great destinations for weekend cruises.
The Bahamas; Cozumel, Mexico; Ensenada, Mexsico; Key West, Florida all offer cruise port destinations for short cruise passengers.
Lake Ontario, Huron, Erie and Superior. Wilderness Travel has been providing great quality adventure vacations since 1978. Some of the highlights include the famous Niagara Falls, Mackinac Island, and the Keweenaw Peninsula.
Visit the Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve on the world’s largest freshwater island, Manitoulin. Visit historical settlements such as restored fur-trading post Old Fort William, the frontier town of Thunder Bay and Thunder Bay.
The classes include veil work, fans, drumming, balance and henna art. There are very few men in the group and it’s a girls weekend out! Much laughing and bonding is always part of the cruise.
The ships entertainment rounds out the cruise with comedians, art auctions, dancing and gambling. The stars above the ocean make gazing fun and are often clearer than one is used to in the city. There is more than enough choices in food and something is always available.
I like the mid-size cruise ships that sail from Fort Lauderdale or Miami and visit ports like Nassau, San Juan, Belize, St. Maarten and other destinations. The cruise ships are beautifully appointed. The meals (available 24/7) are five-star and elegantly served. There is entertainment every night, such as Broadway revivals, musicals and comedians.
Every time you come back to your room, it has been freshly made up and cleaned. The ships have wonderful shopping "malls" right onboard. The onshore excursions are fun and educational! Once you get on the cruise ship, you are entertained, fed and pampered like nowhere else on earth!
The area was founded over 450 years ago and much of it has been restored. You can see a lot of beautiful architecture fron the eighteenth century like the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, the Angela Peralta Theater and the Mercado Suarez.
Mazatlan resort is quite laid back with a carefree and casual style. It remains a working city so the tourist trade has not taken over like some other Mexican cruise ports. It's location at the Sea of Cortez and Pacific Ocean makes it a very popular spot for big game fishing.
