Perks of Plying
the waters
There’s a surprising
amount of value to be found
aboard a ship, especially
for AMA members
Choose youR own DIy All-InClusIve
Cruises come in many
duration options, ranging
from four days to over 30. For fans of pay-one-price
options, you can turn your
cruise into an all-inclusive.
Speak to your AMA
cruise specialist to pre-
book airfare, transfers,
beverage packages and
shore excursions. When
you arrive, all you have to
do is decide between a
margarita or piña colada.
sAve wIth AMA
The cruise specialists
at AMA have access to
deals you just can’t find
anywhere else. That
means you’ll get lower
AMA member prices, plus
extra benefits that aren’t
even available through
the cruise line. You could
score onboard credits to
spend on spa treatments,
shore excursions and
specialty dining. Extras
may also include a dining
experience, welcome gift
or prepaid gratuities.
Member pricing and perks
can also be combined
with special deals offered
by your cruise line.

EAST
Creativity reigns supreme in this
vibrant colonial town. Over the centu-
ries, it’s become a hub for makers and
culture-keepers, from producers of
traditional textiles like guayaberas
and huipils (embroidered shirts and
dresses) to watercolour painters,
craft brewers and mezcal distillers.
After shopping the Lucas de Galvéz
market, take a tasting tour through
Merida’s cantinas where brews are
made on site. End your afternoon sip-
ping a Corona, Mexico’s most famous
export, on one of its prettiest beaches.
