Cruise vacation deals are all the rage right now. You only have to look in your Sunday supplement to find pages of these deals. Maybe now is the time for you to take the plunge and get the cruise vacation deal of your lifetime!

Here are five great reasons that the cruise vacation deal you decide upon might not be quite so extravagant after all.

In fact it might even save you more money than you might believe...

1) You only need to unpack once and visit a number of places - Unlike most vacations, where if you want to move about you have to pack/unpack no end of times (I once did 13 hotels in 22 days and felt like I needed a vacation at the end of it!).

Then, once you stop at a port of call, you have the wonderful opportunity to see all sorts of varied destinations, all without paying another cent at all. How about that for a great cruise vacation deal?

2) All your food is included - It's the ultimate all inclusive and more! Not only are all your meals free (apart from the absolute once a cruise treat of a special meal in an exclusive restaurant that some cruises now have), when you want a snack, they're on tap, whenever you want, 24/7!

From breakfast, through elevenses, your cruise vacation deals leads gently to a relaxing lunch and afternoon tea. Then it's a dinner like you've never, but never, experienced before! Are you ready to watch that waistband then?

3) And did you hear that the entertainment was all free too? - On one of the great cruise vacation deals you can easily get nowadays, every kind of entertainment you care to think about is ready and waiting for you free!

That's evening stuff and to fill your days as well. Broadway style shows; jazz bars. Cinemas to smoochy dancing too. Remember the days when you had as much varied entertainment as you could handle? Well here it is again!

4) Kids need looking after? - Well, there is enough entertainment for all age groups as well. So the grown ups can have their fun and the kids theirs too - it's a win-win! You can even get a minder for them in the evenings, though that might cost you a little of your spending money!

During the day, your cruise vacation deal will give you organized entertainment to suit all ages, so feel safe in the knowledge that they are having the time of their lives too!

5) The price is pretty much fixed - No unexpected out of control meal deals. No costly rentals of equipment to keep the kids amused. In fact, apart from the alcohol you consume; land excursions and, well, of course shopping, with your cruise vacation deal you know just what it's going to cost you from the start - so no nasty surprises either.

Your budgeting can start well ahead of your vacation and you can get a clear expectation of what your additional daily costs are going to be too!

Are you getting the picture? There is a whole world of value in a cruise vacation deal and at the end of the day, this may well be the one of the best deals of the whole vacation market.
