Tuesday Tip: Twitter Handles for Cruise Lines & Travel Experts

This holiday season, it pays to follow as many travel twitter pages as possible. These travel websites and travel providers run contests from time to time. In the past year on Twitter I've won items ranging from lightweight luggage to guidebooks to American Airlines Admirals Club lounge passes.

Even when tweeters aren't giving away swag, you're sure to benefit from useful information, links to cruise and resort reviews, and inside access to bonefide travel tips.

Here's a list of the best travel tweeters on Twitter these days.
