Pros and Cons of a Vacation Package

There are both advantages and disadvantages of getting a vacation package. It really all depends on what you want to do on your vacation. Here are some things to think about:

Pros of a Vacation Package:

+ You might be able to save money, if the vacation package includes all the things you would have done on your own anyway. For instance, if you are looking at all inclusive vacations to Cuba, first consider what you'd want to do — and dismiss any vacation packages that have a lot of extraneous stuff you wouldn't have been interested in otherwise.

+ A vacation package can make a vacation truly memorable. Even if it's not things you would have done normally, sometimes that nudge is all we need to get out there and have a great time!

Cons of a Vacation Package:

- They can commit you to a whole bunch of things you might not want to do — but might feel obligated to do, since you are paying for them.

- Having a set schedule can sometimes make your trip feel stressful and very un-vacation-like.

Really, whether you buy an all inclusive vacation package or not is up to your own preferences and desires. Don't let yourself be talked into something you aren't interested in — or out of something you are!
