What cruise is right for you?
Taking a cruise is a wonderful way to have an
all-inclusive vacation. When you are planning your
cruise, there are a few things that you want to
consider before you make your final selection.
1. Occasion
Is this a special occasion, such as a honeymoon or an
anniversary, or just a vacation? If this is a romantic
getaway, you might want to choose a cruise that is
more suited to adults rather than children.
2. Group
Who is in your group? Are you going with all adults,
or will there be some children as well? Depending on
the group, you’ll want to make sure that there are
activities for children onboard ship so that they will
have a good time too. You will also want to look into
childcare facilities.
3. Interests
What kinds of things do you like to do? Do you like to
shop, explore, or swim? Do you like to watch shows, or
would you rather be left to your own devices? That
will also help you to decide what type of cruise that
you want to go on.
4. Destination
Where would you like to go? Do you have someplace
tropical in mind, or would you like to go to Alaska
and go whale watching? Do you want to spend time scuba
diving, snorkeling and windsurfing? Or do you want to
take a dog sled ride?
These are all questions to think about when you are
planning a cruise. Once you know the answers, you will
have the perfect destination in mind.

Cruise Ship Etiquette
The thing to remember when you are on a cruise is that
you are traveling with a lot of other people, and what
you do can affect them. We never know how what we say,
do, or wear can affect other people. Here are some
tips so that the cruise is enjoyable for everyone.
1. Dress appropriately
It’s important to know ahead of time what the dress
will be for evenings, and for on the ship. If there is
a dress code for meals, make sure that you adhere to
it. If you dress inappropriately, you will be
uncomfortable and so will the other diners.
2. Be courteous with lounge chairs
Everyone wants to have a deck chair, but when people
are constantly saving them for people who may or may
not come to the pool it takes away from people who are
wanting to use them. Don’t reserve any more deck
chairs than necessary, so that everyone has a chance
to have a lounge chair and it’s fair to everyone. This
is one of the biggest problems on cruise ships.
3. Smoking
Make certain that when you smoke you smoke in areas
that are designated for smoking. There may be people
that are allergic to smoke, and it’s not fair to
compromise their health.
A good rule of thumb is to think about the things that
make you uncomfortable about other people, and make
sure that what you are doing isn’t affecting someone
else the same way. When people respect one another,
everyone has a better time and enjoys their vacation.
