The deals just don’t get much better than this! Royal
Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas heads out of New Orleans, Louisiana on
Saturday, April 26, 2014 for a 16 night cruise across the Atlantic Ocean to
Barcelona, Spain. Serenade makes four great port calls along the way. An inside
cabin on the ship can be had for as low as $31 per night per person before
taxes. Don’t let the taxes scare you – it’s just $65 per person for the entire
cruise.
The Cruise
Serenade of the Seas embarks on her 16 night Transatlantic
Repositioning cruise from New Orleans at 5pm on Saturday, April 26, 2014. She
arrives at her summer home of Barcelona, Spain on the Mediterranean at 6am on
Monday, May 12. Along the way, Serenade makes four amazing stops.
After four full days at sea, crossing the Gulf of Mexico and
skimming across the top of Cuba, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, Serenade of the
Seas makes her first port of call at Philipsburg on the island of Sint Maarten.
She is docked on the Dutch side of the island shared with France from 7am until
5pm.
After six more full days at sea, next up is the island of
Tenerife. This dot in the Atlantic Ocean belongs to Spain and is the largest of
the seven Canary Islands. Serenade stops at Tenerife from 7am until 3pm on
Thursday, May 8.
There’s one last full day at sea between Tenerife and Malaga
on the mainland of Spain. Serenade of the Seas arrives at Malaga on Saturday,
May 10. Malaga is a nice long stop with the ship docking at 10am and not
leaving port until 8pm. In contrast, the final port of call is much shorter
with the ship arriving at Cartegena, Spain at 7am on Sunday, May 11 and leaving
in the early afternoon at 2pm.
The Price
Right now, an inside stateroom can be had for as low as
$489, based on double occupancy. With the $65 in government fees and taxes
tacked on, the total price for two is as low as $1,108 for the entire 16 night
cruise.
The pricing on upgraded staterooms moves up pretty fast. An
Ocean View cabin starts at $609 per person while a balcony will increase the
price to $1,199 per person and an suite starts at $2,289 per person.
This special rate trumps all other discounts. It is so low
that there is no added advantage for military, police and fire or seniors.
The Ship
Serenade is currently alternating between seven night
Bahamas and seven night Western Caribbean itineraries out of her winter home
port of New Orleans. Once in the Mediterranean, Serenade will mostly run 12
night cruises out of Barcelona over the summer months.
