Smart Senior Travel Newsletter - July 7, 2008

For our U.S. and Canadian subscribers - Happy 4th and Happy Canada Day!

We hope that a great holiday weekend was had by all!  

In the news this week:
Reports are showing that middle class Americans are either curbing travel plans or are squeezing the most out of their travel dollar.  Wealthy Americans,  who are less likely to feel the impact of a slowing economy and rising energy and food prices are largely going ahead with their vacation plans even though consumer confidence is at a 16-year low.   Even with the solemn economic news, there are always great travel bargains out there to help us S-T-R-E-T-C-H our travel dollar.

Carnival Cruise Lines is offering some great incentives during their July sale.  For a limited time, they are offering $100 FREE ON BOARD CREDIT per stateroom when you book any of a variety of fall sailings.  There are also some GREAT rates on limited availability cruises.   For example - a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas on the Carnival Sensation has prices starting at $279!  3rd and 4th person fares for the same cabin start at only $99!  Unbelievable!
