Vacations To Go is supposed to have a lot of deals on cruises, but I was not able to find any deals that were any better than what I could find on Cruise Critics or even Kayak.

Cruise Critic has all sorts of information on on cruise ships, cruise destinations, cruise deals, and cruise tips. There is a huge community that talks about just about everything. Honestly my big complaint is just that I find Cruise Critic hard to navigate sometimes. There is just too much stuff and it's too hard to find.

Find&Save has deals in local stores, which is nice. It's sort of like one great big coupon book. You can also make lists of the deals you find, which is also nice. Sometimes I'd like to just buy it all right on the internet! But it is still nice to go into the store sometimes. Stores in my area that have deals are Target, Walgreens, Joann Fabrics, GNC and a whole lot more. My big complaint is that they send me too many emails.

Cruise Direct also has a lot of cruise deals but I haven't been able to find much to distinguish them from all the other websites that offer cruise deals. I found the customer service at Vacations To Go to be better.

Norwegian Cruise Line is my favorite cruise line, and I have found that their website is often the very best place to find deals on their cruises. Don't forget to take advantage of their many discounts which include the AARP discount (code: AARP1) and my personal favorite the last minute deals http://www.ncl.com/specials-and-promotions/last-minute-deals

WhatsApp was also shown to me by my daughter. We also use it for text messaging on my Galaxy phone. It was free before for messaging, but now I think it costs $1 per year. But that still seems like a good deal for unlimited texting.

My daughter showed me this one. MessageMe lets me send text messages to my family without having to use up all my text messages from the cell phone company. MessageMe was free on my Samsung Galaxy phone.
