FAQ
Is there something else I should learn before I go on a vacation?
Before you take your first cruise, you need to know a lot of things. First of all, remember that you will be traveling with other people. Be kind to these people, as you will never know their opinions on anything. Keep in mind that you will be dining and drinking with strangers. Be dressed appropriately. On deck, you should not wear shorts or tanks. Comfortable clothing will not cause you to get dirty. Be prepared for extreme temperatures. Sunscreens are essential. If you plan to spend some time outdoors, be sure to pack a hat with sunglasses and a light jacket. Remember that you are responsible. Do not drink and drive.
How long does it take for you to get to port?
The distance between the port (and the ship) and the speed at the which the ship travels determine how long it takes for the port to reach. Not all ships dock near shore. They can then unload their passengers very quickly. Others dock further from shore so the ship takes longer to arrive.
Do I have to dress up for a cruise or not?
You don't have to dress up or wear anything extravagant. Relax and be comfortable.
Why are cruise vacations so appealing?
Because they provide a fun vacation experience that isn't confined to long flights and airport delays, cruises are becoming increasingly popular. The cruises offer a relaxed atmosphere that allows passengers to relax and enjoy their vacation without having to worry about work or other daily details.
Cruise ships also make it easy for travelers to visit different destinations on land and at sea. This gives travelers plenty of time for all the attractions and sights that are available in each location.
Is a cruise all-inclusive on a ship?
It is not possible to cruise on all-inclusive ships as they do no offer meals for passengers with dietary limitations. There is no room service, laundry service, or other amenities like spas, pools, gyms, etc.
Some cruise lines do offer "all-inclusive" deals that cover all aspects of the trip, including alcohol. These packages generally include airfare, hotel accommodations or entertainment.
Is there food on a cruise that isn't expensive?
The answer is yes! All cruises offer complimentary food. To enjoy these drinks, however, you will need beverages to purchase.
The type of ship you sail on will affect the cost. You might expect to pay between $20 and $30 per person for each beverage purchased while cruising on a luxury liner. For a smaller vessel, the cost of a drink will be around $10-15 per person.
