Getting a Free Cruise

Cruise lines are very exciting businesses. Unlike many other business forms, cruise lines actually give away a number of their rooms.

For free!

What kind of people can get free cruise rooms?

Well, first of all, let's just get the most obvious out of the way. You can always enter a contest and win one! But the chances of that happening are rather slim.

Second, a free cruise might be an incentive for you to buy something. Such as a time share, or a business opportunity.

But both of those are not how the largest number of people get their cruise free.

Cruise lines are always entertaining people, and trying whatever means they can of making people happy. So, in order to do that, they often have special talent onboard the ship to entertain the other guests. And those talents get their cruise fee comped. In fact, some of them even get a fee for their special performance or lecture!

Lecturers are some of the most popular people that cruise lines like to use. If you can tell the guests about something related to the itinerary, or at least one of the specific ports of call, you can easily get free cruise ship passage. They are looking for experts in foreign languages, history, golf, investing, bridge, archaeology, gambling, tennis, botany, finances, and gardening.

Also, for special events, they are also looking for storytellers, dancers, skaters, entertainers, singers and singing groups, musicians. Of course, someone who has a celebrity status is also welcome!

Family and kid-friendly cruises are also looking for special guest counselors and people who have special experience caring for and entertaining children. Not just the little 3 and 4-year-olds either. Cruise lines would love to have more people who are able to handle and entertain children upwards of 10 to 12 years of age. Even teenagers!

Another category of free cruisers is that of escorts, single men over age 45, who are willing and able to dance, mingle with the female guests, play cards, and even dine in the restaurants with your "dates." You might even get to go on a shore excursion with them! For serving as a host, you are also often able to receive a small payment for your services.

So, for the most part, there is probably some area in which you are able to secure yourself a free cruise! If you happen to fit in one of these areas, call the cruise line and speak with their personnel department.

If you can't seem to find a niche for yourself, don't worry. Cruises aren't really expensive vacations anyways. Go on over to www.kingarthur.myttn.com and see just how very reasonable they really are!
