Cruise prices range from very cheap sale fares (sometimes as low as RM800 per person, per night, before taxes) to expensive rates for fancy suites on luxury lines. Keep in mind that your cruise fare includes your accommodations, meals in main dining venues, activities (this includes children's programs) and nighttime entertainment, not to mention transportation from port to port. When you take into consideration all of the costs you'd spend on a land vacation, as well as the great deals you can find on cruise travel, you'll find out that you can often save money by booking a cruise, as opposed to going for a land-based vacation.
