I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but next time I go to Europe, I'm taking a 1 way cruise from Florida to either Spain, Holland, London or Italy.
Check out cheap last minute cruise fares on: www.vacationstogo.com
For example, I can cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Rome on a 4.5 star ship for $549. That's cheaper than buying a flight, PLUS, I get a 13 day pampered vacation with meals and entertainment on the way.
Or, I can get from Florida to Spain on a 5.5 star ship for $799... OR, choose a 5 star ship to take me there for only $699!
I can't think of a better way to get to Europe than cruising there- screw the overpriced, bare bones flights. I'll take the pre-vacation before the European vacation. Fattening up on lobster and steaks before busting out my backpack and surviving on bread and beer when I get to expensive Europe ;)
