Looking to cruise with the family this year? Got a Dora fan in your midst? Then check out Norwegian Cruise Line's new sale, part of a six-week string of Summer Blockbuster sales. Starting today, when you book a “Freestyle” (meaning no set dining times, for starters) cruise on NCL, kids sail for just $99 (as do the third through eighth guests in any party). So go ahead and invite Nana and Pops, too.

On any ship, the kids will be well occupied. Beyond the regular pools and waterslides, they can visit the free Kid’s Crew kids club, and play Wii games on a two-story screen. Little kids get their own, scaled-down tables at mealtimes and get to choose from lavish kids-pleasing buffets.

Starting this summer, the Norwegian Jewel and the new, massive Epic (which debuts this July) will also offer Nickelodeon at Sea activities, including Slime Time Live!, story times with Dora the Explorer, Dora dance parties and character breakfasts. The Jewel typically travels to Florida and the Bahamas from NYC and the Epic will sail the Caribbean.

 The $99 deal is good on select 2010 sailings for new reservations made now through May 31.  Plus, reduced cruise deposits are offered on new summer bookings through May 2.  When you punch in dates, look for sailings marked with the $99 rates. You can book online or call 866/234-7350.
