A cruise vacation offers diverse options for the young, old and everything in between. Your cruise experience will depend on a number of factors, not least of which is the size of the liner you are traveling on. A little research will influence your experience, so look into other people's cruise encounters.
A mega-liner will be very busy. These will accommodate many people, but don't plan to get much alone time. You can expect multiple pool areas, venues catering to children's entertainment, nightclubs, casinos, theatres, an array of dining facilities, and activities galore. A lot of liners have gyms, spas, and beauty facilities. You can find non-stop activities on these bigger ships.
Small cruises are also available. These ships tend to offer a more elegant, refined atmosphere, with better amenities in terms of decor and service. The dress codes here may be more strict, but they will have spas and boutiques. Because the passengers are fewer in number, social activities and dining tend to have more of a neighborly feel, growing into a comfortable, friendly, country-club atmosphere where friendships can develop. These are generally more romantic.
There are a few safety tips you should know, no matter what kind of cruise you go on. As you should be anywhere, be alert. Don't leave valuables in the cabin. Stay out of off limits areas and dark hallways. Don't over do the drinking. It is very tempting to start on the colorful cocktails in the early afternoon, but by dinner time, you are likely to be quite inebriated. Too much alcohol can turn into reckless behavior.
Cruises are great vacation experiences. Like a huge resort on water, you won't have to leave the ship to have a fantastic vacation. You'll have great entertainment, great food varieties, and plenty of activity. Although they can be quite pricey, booking far in advance, or very late, can save you up to 50% on your vacation cost. Watch your spending on board. You will be provided with a C Note Card, which is like a credit card you use on the ship - and you will have to pay it off in full before you disembark! Take advantage of some of the shops and ports that you visit. Enjoy your trip.
