Hey, you! Yes, you! You look like you could use a vacation. To say it's been A Year would be an understatement...and it's only October. We all deserve a little (or, ahem, BIG) getaway right about now, and clearly, Amazon agrees. They just dropped some *major* travel deals in honor of Prime Big Deal Days—which, if you haven't heard, is basically Prime Day 2.0, with steeeeep Prime-member-exclusive discounts running across the site on October 10 and 11. (So, right this very second!) Trust me, you're gonna wanna get in on this—especially if you've been bitten by the travel bug. (And no, I don't mean the bed bugs in Paris.)
Basically, there are three main brands offering deals rn: Carnival Cruise Line, Avis, and Priceline. Let's get into the nitty gritty on each, shall we?
Carnival Cruise Line
Cruising is cool again (no really, we wrote a whole article about it), and Carnival is one of the top cruise lines in the game. For Prime Big Deal Days, they're offering Amazon shoppers up to 40% off cruise rates, plus free room upgrades on select sailings, and discounted deposits. Scroll through their site to see all the sailings available in the next year, and know you really can't go wrong with any voyage. I'm personally torn between the three-day trip between Miami and The Bahamas and the four-day sailing from Long Beach through Baja Mexico. Boating through the Caribbean + an all-inclusive situation = vacation perfection.
Avis
If getting the hell out of dodge is on your to-do list, this deal from Avis is for you. The car rental company is giving Prime members 35% off base rates, as well as 20% back, in the form of an Amazon gift card, if you prepay for a reservation. (Or, 10% back if you pay later.) Renting a car can be expensive (if you know, you know), so consider this the sign you've been looking for to take that road trip with the girls. Maybe you can splurge and drive around something fancy with all the money you'll be saving!
Priceline
Everyone knows that a good vacation starts with a good hotel, and that's where Priceline comes in. They're giving Prime members an extra 20% off their already discounted prices on hotel Express Deals. The catch with these is that you find out the name of the hotel after you book it—but the discounts are so sweet it's worth it. Just visit the deal page to claim the promotion, and use the code PRIMEDEALS when you're booking. Hope you score!
Told you the deals were juicy!!! Now you just gotta make sure you have your Prime membership set and ready to go so you can take full advantage of them. (FYI: you can sign up for a free 30-day trial without fully committing to a membership if you're not ready to go all-in quite yet.)
You should also definitely check out all of our coverage on the best Prime Deal Days deals (try saying that 10 times fast) goin' on right now. Trust me, between the tech discounts, beauty steals, and cheaper-than-ever luggage picks (which you're gonna need for your getaway, obv), you don't wanna miss out.
