The future of cruising
Are you looking for the special venue for the special client?
Totaly hip in 2007 are cruises on extraordinary boats. And here is my suggestion:
What: Windjammer Barefoot Cruises
Where: Caribbean
Perfect for: Young social types who aren't into bus tours.
Youth Factor: The sailboat-styled ships are geared toward extroverts, with boisterous mealtimes (everyone eats at communal tables), casual dress codes (shoes and shirts not required), and a playful atmosphere. Flash back to freshman year by donning an eye patch and hat on the "Pirates, Pimps, and Prostitutes" costume night.
Cruise Mates: Young couples and singles looking to make new friends (there are also singles-only trips).
High Seas: Larger ships may love their rules, but Windjammer is relaxed. Visit the captain in the control room (usually a no-no), sleep under the stars, dive off the deck. And since the ships are smaller than most, they can access islands that the megaships can't.
Rough Sailing: Cabins are "simple"—code word for not-so-luxurious. Chances are you'll be peering out of a porthole from your bunk bed. Plus no spa or gym.
The Deal: Six-night cruises start at $1,000 per person.
