OK, so you think that the most common response to not going on a cruise is going to fly by me hu? Well, I’m here to bust that myth.
Everyone needs time to unwind and have fun, even if it is just for 4 days. The brain and body need time off of the daily grind. If you are being frugal you maybe thinking of a long weekend in say a northern CA favorite, Monterey. You may even be thinking of cheaper and planning what we call the “staycation.”
--- Cruise vs. Land Trip vs. Staycation ---
Now it is time to do an experiment and help alleviate the stress of how to spend your hard earned vacation dollars. As a small disclaimer this experiment is very general, obviously if you are two adults you are not going to Fairytale Town or paying for kid’s day camps. But you would be doing something, and most likely something that costs money so you get the picture? I’ve also not included taxes, fees or alcohol (because only you know how much you will drink in any given location) and assume that you can hitch a ride to the airport, because you won’t be returning to it.
I have actually researched and looked up real activities that would be relevant for the area and semi-comparable with each other on the fun-o-meter. What do you think? What will be the cheapest 4 day vacation/ staycation?
This myth is BUSTED!! As you can see the cruise is actually the cheapest option by a few cents. Plus you have the experience of visiting another country, relaxing on a cruise ship and being pampered by the wonderful staff.
Questions or comments? Do you have a travel myth for me to bust?
