Panama City Beach and Gulf Shores have been the go- to spring break location for years. While both are a ton of fun, they’re both very expensive and a trap for underage and belligerent drinkers. Between a hotel, gas, eating out every night, alcohol, nightclubs and taxis, students spend roughly $650 throughout the week.
What if I told you it was possible to get an all- inclusive “Panama City” experience for around $500?
College Party Cruise is here to give that to you.
The Concept
College Party Cruise (CPC) is exactly what it sounds like- a party on a giant boat in the middle of the ocean. The company rents a cruise line every year during the four most popular weeks of college spring break and books it out to only college students. What you get is five nights, four days, three destinations and the time of your life with 2,000 of your closest friends- what could be better?
The Price
For the price of your room (starting at roughly $500) food and alcohol are included. Most cruises charge around $400 per room for unlimited alcohol packages or about $5 per drink. CPC and Norwegian Cruise Line want to challenge that and include alcohol in the price of your trip. Not to mention, there’s all day buffets, all the soft serve ice cream you can eat and a dinner included every night that you probably couldn’t afford even on your best week (#BrokeCollegeKid). Let’s be honest, what do we love more than food and alcohol?
The Destinations
Sure, the Florida panhandle is nice, but the Bahamas are beautiful. This year the itinerary takes spring breakers to Grand Bahama Island, Nassau and Norwegian Cruise Line’s private Island, Great Stirrup Cay. In Nassau, CPC sets up camp with an open bar on the beach and your wristband ensures you discounted drinks when the open bar is closed.
The Catch
There isn't one. I know this all sounds too good to be true- a trip to the bahamas, a party boat, free alcohol, all for less than a trip to PCB, but I assure you it’s all 100 percent real and straight forward. I’m sure now you’re wondering why you never did this in the past, because I asked myself the same thing.
