5 WAYS TO CRUISE FOR FREE
If there were a way you could cruise for free, would you be
interested? That's a silly question isn't it? This article
reveals 5 ways to enjoy the cruising lifestyle for free.
1) Get A Job:
Spend your winters in the Caribbean and your summers in Alaska
or travel to remote and exotic ports in Europe, Australia, New
Zealand, and South America and all over the world.
Most people pay between 1,500 and 10,000 U.S. dollars per week
to live on the same luxury cruise ship and visit the same
places. You can do that for free (free meals, accommodations)
plus you will get paid for it.
It's a great way to save money and meet people from many
different cultures. It is a great summer job for students, as
well. Here are some links to start with.

2) Win A Cruise:
Are you lucky? You can win a free cruise by playing the online
sweepstakes.
You will however end up on lots of mailing lists so get
yourself a free email account on Yahoo or some other free email
site. You will have to keep up with the contests on a daily
basis but hey, it's free! Below are some good contest sites for
you to play.

Another good place to look for cruise specific sweepstakes is:
http://www.sunandbreezes.com/sweepstakes If you search on the
word "cruise" in only this newsgroup then sort by date you
should turn up current sweepstakes that you may not find on the
other sites.
Good luck and please send me a postcard from your cruise.
3) Become A Tour Conductor/Group Leader:
Did you know that for every 15 passengers (8 cabins) the 16th
passenger goes for free? So get together 7 couples and get them
to join you on a cruise. Not only do you get to go for free,
your friends get to go for a group rate.
How about starting your own business as a Group Leader. One of
the best books on this subject is How to Organize Group Travel
for Fun and Profit. There are many organizations in your back
yard i.e.: Church Groups, Women's Organizations, Seniors Groups
that want to travel together but need someone to organize and
lead the trip. That someone could be you.
4) Be a Speaker:
Many of the cruise lines are looking for programs to present to
their passengers. If you have experience and can present a
program of general interest. You're welcome to cruise for free.
Often you're able to bring along a guest (and often even your
family) for free as well. Far and away the finest book written
about this topic is The Complete Guide to Conducting Seminars At
Sea by Mary Long. Mary conducts seminars around the country you
can check on her schedule at http://www.seminarsatsea.com. Mary
is the world's authority on conducting seminars at sea.
5) Are You Entertaining:
Call you agent and get him to book you on the next cruise to
your favorite destination. Not only will you travel for free,
you'll make a few bucks. What, you don't have an agent? OK, the
same links that are listed for Get a Job will work for
Performance Jobs as well. Tune up your fiddle, or guitar or
whatever and head for the high seas.
Conclusion
There you are, the rest is up to you. Each of these suggestions
will apply to different folks with different interests but all
of them will work. All I ask is for you to send me a card and
tell me how it worked for you. Bon- Voyage
