Valentine’s Day is a popular time for cruise travel with many passengers booking a year or more in advance to get the best stateroom location and price. Still, some last minute travel bargains are available for an easy winter getaway that brings warm Caribbean weather and checks “fabulous gift for loved one” off the shopping list.
Royal Caribbean‘s Allure of the Seas sails seven-day Caribbean itineraries year-round from Port Everglades in Florida. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, Royal Caribbean is offering a special sailing that will let first-time Oasis-class cruisers experience the world’s largest cruise ship and celebrate Valentine’s Day too.
Sailing on February 14, 2013, Allure of the Seas is doing an extremely rare three-night sailing to Nassau in the Bahamas. With a full day at sea and a long 8-5 stay in Nassau, this one might be worth a look. Prices start at $549 per person + tax ($1143.42 total per couple) for an unassigned inside cabin.
