		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>(ContentDesk) November 30, 2005 -- The Cruise Guide Network launched three new Florida cruise port guides on November 25, 2005. Tampa Cruise Guide and Jacksonville Cruise Guide are the first private websites to focus exclusively on those cruise ports. Cruises from Port Everglades, Jacksonville and Tampa are presented in the easy-to-use format that is the trademark of all the popular Cruise Guide Network's websites. The three new sites include calendars of all cruises departing in 2006, cruise terminal directions, and directories of hotels near the ports.Port Everglades is the huge cruise port at Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The popular departure port serves millions of cruise passengers annually. </P><P>23 miles of palm-shaded beaches in the area are an attractive playground for a pre- or post-cruise stay. Crisscrossed by 300 miles of navigable waterways, Fort Lauderdale is known as the "Venice of America".Twelve cruise lines serve Port Everglades and offer hundreds of cruises to the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, the Bahamas and even Bermuda. Repositioning cruises sail to the west coast and to Europe. Dozens of cruise ships departing from Fort Lauderdale cover the entire range of cruise prices and styles; from Carnival's fun value ships to the ultra-luxury of the Yachts of Seabourn.See the Port Everglades Cruise Guide at: <a href="http://www.portevergladescruiseguide.com" target="_blank">http://www.portevergladescruiseguide.com</a>Jacksonville is the northernmost cruise port in Florida, making it easier to reach by auto than Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Cruises depart to the Bahamas throughout the year. </P><P>These 4- and 5-day cruises on the Carnival Celebration take passengers to the beautiful islands for sun and fun. 5-day cruises include a visit to Key West, Florida.Like Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville entices cruise passengers to stay a few extra days in the area. Downtown has picturesque riverwalks on the St Johns River and Jacksonville Landing's shops. Just over the Intracoastal Waterway are the Jacksonville beaches with some of the whitest and widest beaches anywhere.The Jacksonville Cruise Guide address is: <a href="http://www.jacksonvillecruiseguide.com" target="_blank">http://www.jacksonvillecruiseguide.com</a>One of America's most popular departure ports for western Caribbean cruises is Tampa, Florida. This warm Gulf Coast port offers year round cruises with enough variety that there's something to fit anyone's budget.The four cruise lines operating from Tampa are Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, and Celebrity. </P><P>In addition to the western Caribbean, cruise destinations include the Panama Canal and a Transatlantic cruise.The Tampa Cruise Guide is at: <a href="http://www.tampacruiseguide.com" target="_blank">http://www.tampacruiseguide.com</a>For additional information on the news that is the subject of this release, contact Greg Manter or visit the new websites. The new Cruise Guides to Port Everglades, Jacksonville and Tampa provide simple and objective information about three of America's most popular cruise departure ports.About the Cruise Guide Network:The Florida Cruise Guides join six other Cruise Guides in Greg Manter's quickly growing Cruise Guide Network. A minimum of a half-million visitors are expected to go to each of the Network's websites over the next year, making it one of the leading sources of information about America's cruise ports.Mr. Manter is a cruise expert who has brought together a team of writers to profile all 25 American cruise ports. The Cruise Guide Network is known for ease-of-use and objective information. </P><P>The Brooklyn and New York Cruise Guides launched in the last 30 days to considerable fanfare from cruise passengers and the press.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>(ContentDesk) October 28, 2005 -- The Kelly family thought they had planned out everything for their cruise. But after they stopped at the first port-of-call they realized that there were more shore excursions than those listed in the cruise brochure."We thought we knew about all the excursions on our Caribbean cruise adventure but now realize that there were many additional places to explore. "But," exclaimed Kelly, "We did not know about the excursions we could have gone on in addition to the ones described in the cruise line brochure. We found many places to visit that were better matched to our own interests."Many people who have been on cruise vacations often find out about interesting shore excursions after it is too late. They arrive at a port of call with plans in place to go on a particular shore excursion only to find out that other opportunities existed that they were not awareof.But a new website has been established by The Cruise Report to help cruise travelers learn about some of the varieties of shore excursions that are available at the various ports-of-call.According to The Cruise Report, many people on cruise vacations do not understand all of the opportunities for shore excursions because they have never been there before. </P><P>Experienced cruisers know about the additional places to visit besides the items in the traditional cruise line brochure. Private tour operators can be found in almost any port-of-call. You just have to know who they are, where they can be found, what types of tours they offer and are they reliable?For more information on how people can get more out of their cruise vacations and the opportunities for interesting shore excursions, visit <a href="http://www.thecruisereport.com" target="_blank">www.thecruisereport.com</a>.. </P>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<P>Most of the lines that provide cruise ships for Bermuda have their own independent schedules. But the combined information about all of them is provided by Marine and Ports division of Bermuda's government, which publishes the schedules of all cruise ship calls for a particular year at the beginning of each year. This schedule is also available online. <br />
<br />
Though the government has been trying to encourage more air travel to the island, most visitors prefer to reach the island on a cruise ship. The local government has put a cap on the maximum number of passengers per cruise ship and the total number of passengers that can visit each year. </P><P>These limits are revised at regular intervals. These limits are to prevent the small island from being overrun at any given time, and also to prevent strain on the island's resources. <br />
<br />
The local shopkeepers, storeowners and other businessmen eagerly await the arrival of Bermuda cruise ships, whose passengers provide most of their income. While traveling on a Bermuda cruise ship, one must not forget that Bermuda has very strict drug laws. Any passenger caught with even the smallest amount of a narcotic substance could face serious consequences. </P><P><br />

To abide by law, cruise ships sailing from US to Bermuda have to have certain fixed number of cabins and staterooms available for the disabled/physically handicapped. Some cruise ships may try to ignore the law by not checking or verifying the disability of the disabled passengers. A disabled person can use certain legal remedies in case he or she is denied a cabin, meant specifically for disabled, in one of these cruise ships . </P>]]></content:encoded>
