Many people ask why they should embark on a cruise holiday.
Cruising is for everyone. No matter what lifestyle you lead, floating resorts offer such a variety of activities and entertainment options that most people will find an option to suit them.
The price is almost inclusive. The cost of a cruise includes accommodation, transportation, all meals and entertainment. And, in some cases, also the gratuities.
It takes away the stress of paying for surprise expenses such as extra meals, taxis or buses, room service and other incidentals.
You only unpack and pack once. You visit different destinations without living out of a suitcase or rushing from one airport to another.
A floating resort also offers a different destination each day. Every morning you may land up in a new country or island waiting to be explored.
A ship also often offers optional organised excursions. Some of the best dining and entertainment in the world is at your fingertips.
Each day aboard ship is different. Different theme days, shows and entertainment offer a unique experience every night. A passenger never has to do the same thing twice.
While visiting the most exotic or remote places in the world, one does it in a safe environment. There are no incidents or crime on board.
And, a hint for first time cruisers: On cruise ships, the higher the deck, the more expensive the cabins are and the better the views. Therefore, if you are unsure of how you will deal with sea sickness, take a cabin on a lower deck and preferably midships (middle of the ship) and save some of your cruise fare.
Speaking of savings, if you aren't going to spend much time in your cabin (only to sleep in), take an inside cabin and spend the savings on yourself; either on the ship or ashore.
