All Carnival Cruise Lines Gift Certificates are valid for 18 months from the date of purchase, and they are all fully upgradable (upgrades incur a slight additional charge). Prices for the gift certificates start as low as $358. Now that is not bad for a 3 or 4 day cruise for two people.

A business owner in Richmond Virginia was looking for a was to reward his top performers for the year. Each year, at his annual Christmas Party, he would announce the names of two top performers and award them with a bonus of $400 a piece. We all know that after taxes, $400 turns into $280 very quickly, and it quickly became an after thought. In 2008, the business owner decided to do something a little different. Instead of giving 2 $400 bonuses, he gave 2 Extra Special Carnival Cruise Gift Certificates. In 2009, the business owner reported a 110% increase in productivity and revenue during the first and second quarters of the year. Coincidence? You be the judge.

Carnival Cruise Lines Cruise Gift Certificates are on sale now, but will only be available for a limited time. To purchase your gift certificates visit the IrSabio Travel Consultants Main Site and click on the banner for Carnival Cruise Gift Certificates. Give those you love and admire a gift they will remember for many years to come.

What Will Disney's Dream Bring To The Cruise Industry?

The Disney Dream™ will introduce a number of cruise-industry firsts and family-friendly innovations designed to make your Client's experience even more magical. Among the highlights:

* AquaDuck — Disney Cruise Line® debuts the first-ever shipboard water coaster! This exhilarating high-speed flume ride featuring twists, turns, drops, uphill acceleration and river rapids — all while traversing the upper decks of the ship. This innovation takes a real water park experience onto the open sea, giving Disney Cruisers a one of a kind experience.

* Virtual Porthole – A cruise-industry first for all inside staterooms! Virtual Portholes offer a "window" to the world with a real-time view outside the ship using high-definition cameras. As Guests observe the view, they may glimpse a magical surprise: animated characters like Mickey Mouse may pop by the Virtual Porthole. Now even interior staterooms can feel like ocean view staterooms.


* Enchanted Art — Around the atrium lobby and throughout the ship, Enchanted Art will immerse your Clients in Disney storytelling in a completely new way. Enchanted Art magically comes alive as Guests pause to admire individual pieces. Mirror, Mirror on the wall gives way to portrait or sculpture, talk to me. After all, this is the world of Disney.


* Living Characters — In youth spaces, Disney Characters come to life and interact with children in one-of-a-kind experiences. Crush, the animated sea turtle from the Disney•Pixar motion picture "Finding Nemo," or the mischievous animated alien Stitch make scheduled appearances to chat, play and joke with kids in live, unrehearsed conversations.

The Disney Dream is scheduled to make her maiden voyage in January 2011, and Disney is expecting space to fill quickly. Booking for the Maiden Voyage is expected to begin in November 2009, and the deposits are expected to be $400 per person. IrSabio Travel Consultants is a licensed and registered Disney Travel Agent.
