Looking to take a cruise and don't know where to start? There are many things to consider when sailing on the high seas – whether you are a first timer or veteran cruiser – and these seven tips from cruise experts break it down for you!
Give the gift of travel this holiday season and celebrate your favorite traditions onboard. You might even make a new tradition this year...a holiday cruise!
Traveling during the off-peak or shoulder seasons – right before and right after peak season – is best. For example, Alaska is most popular in the summer, so cruises in May or September might have the best deals.
If you are traveling to any exotic port, there are usually softer booking periods in which pricing can be hundreds of dollars lower.
Think you will be bored? Think again! Pamper yourself in a world-class spa, shop in the duty-free boutiques, or try your luck in the casino. If you’re the active type, the sports activities and workout areas are state of the art. Hang out at the pool, join in a wine tasting with a sommelier, enjoy dance lessons, take a computer class, sing karaoke, or you can even learn a new language. The possibilities are endless!
