The line has seen direct bookings increase dramatically, not unlike Dell Computer, Geico Insurance and Charles Schwab Investments. Enticing cruise deals are popping up like California wild flowers. Delta Queen Steamboat Company, plying America's rivers with steam-powered paddle wheelers, is offering big savings on some 1999 cruises for those who book and deposit at least eight months in advance. Passengers who pay in full within 48 hours of booking receive a five percent savings from the cruise fare. Regal also has a 50 percent discount for children ages 2-12 and 90 percent for infants under age two.
Some restrictions apply on cruise line deals and are subject to change.
Request from agents and cruise lines specific information on current and upcoming special sales promotions. When cruising Mexico check the telephone rates before calling home from a port.
