As if the amusement parks of Orlando aren't enough, many of the biggest hotels in the area are mini (and not-so-mini) resorts by themselves.  Water parks, multiple restaurants, golf courses and transportation to those amusement parks are just some of the amenities found at the top resort hotels in Orlando.  Our newest site, The Real Resorts, makes it easy to compare hotel rates offered by hundreds of online booking sites for your next trip to Orlando and thousands of other cities.

 

 

Mediterranean Cruise Season

The peak season for Mediterranean cruises begins in May and you can find unusually good prices this year. Several companies have voyages for less than $100 per night per person, which is a good deal. Highlights of the 2012 Mediterranean cruise season include 7-day western Mediterranean cruises on the huge Norwegian Epic, 10-night eastern Mediterranean cruises on the sophisticated Celebrity Equinox, 12-day Mediterranean Romance cruises on Holland America's Nieuw Amsterdam, and 12-day Grand Mediterranean cruises on the Ruby Princess. See our overview of 2012 Mediterranean cruises for more vacation ideas.
