What
We Like:
- Quality discounted cruise vacation offers
- Most Cruise Lines
- Interactive maps and excellent cruise info
- Easy site to navigate
What We Don't Like:
To qualify for group cruise rates requires a group traveling together in 8 or more staterooms
The Verdict:
Though we would like to see the number of staterooms
required reduced for Senior Citizens who travel
frequently. Booking a cruise with CruiseDirect definitely
has many advantages.
