“The Free Cruise Challenge”
In February of 2015 I took the final steps to complete a goal I’d set the previous year; to get a 100% completely free cruise. And “free” means EVERYTHING from start to finish. From the cruise itself, airfare to the ship, a hotel and dinner the night before, even cash to spend at the casino or in the islands. See how I did it, and I’ll show you how you can do it too!
Vacations To Go
An excellent search engine for cruises, it also boasts strong filter and search features to narrow down what you’re looking for. I’ve never booked a cruise without checking here first. They emphasize last minute cruise deals, so if you’re able to just pick up and go on a cruise in the next week, check here first and you can score an amazing last minute deal.
Part I
Take a look at the origin of the idea. I’m a huge fan of cruising, so when I decided to travel the world for a year I knew (at least) one cruise had to be a part of that. he previous year; to get a 100% completely free cruise. Here I outline some of the ways I was planning on making this happen, including the biggest piece of the puzzle, the Barclay Arrival World Mastercard.
Part II
Here I refine and finalize some of my earlier ideas. I also list out the specific categories that each cost associated with the cruise will belong to, to help me better plan how to cancel out that expense. I examine the Barclay Arrival miles I have to work with, simply from the card bonus and a few months of spending.
