What You Should Know Before You Leave On Your Cruise Vacation
from: Jim JohnsonA cruise vacation is always an exciting opportunity to unwind
and see places and people that you have never seen before. And
in the meantime, you can get away from the regular pace of your
normal life. But before setting sail it's a good idea to know as
much as you can about cruising, especially if it's your first
cruise, and so here are some things you should know before you
leave on your next cruise vacation:
* Most cruise lines have policies against bringing liquor on
board with you. You can certainly buy alcoholic drinks once you
are on board, as they are plentiful, but generally they do not
allow you to buy alcoholic beverages at ports of call and then
bring them with you to drink them on board the ship. Sometimes
they will hold a bottle of liquor that you buy for you in safe
keeping until the end of the cruise, but just make sure of this
policy in advance though.
* Smoking policies vary considerably among the various cruise
lines but all do not allow smoking in restaurants on board. They
also restrict smoking in some parts of the ship for the benefit
of their passengers. For those that wish to enjoy a completely
smoke free atmosphere, Carnival does offer such an experience on
board the Paradise cruise ship. Otherwise, just check with each
cruise line to see how well they accomodate your needs in this
area.
* If you are traveling alone, it may be best to look for singles
cruises as most standard cruise fares are made for two people
occupying the same room. If you are traveling alone then, you
are obviously paying quite a bit more for the ticket than is
necessary. Many singles cruises also afford an opportunity to
meet others of similar interests, so they can be beneficial in
many ways.
* You will still be able to stay in touch while cruising as all
cruise lines make available phone calls and internet access for
those that wish to email. However, expect extra charges for
taking advantage of these services.
* If you are going to sail, use the right lingo when you do.
Port means left, and starboard is right. The vessel is a ship,
not a boat. Aft is the back of the ship and the bow is the
front. All flooring is called a deck, not a floor. If you are
going to enjoy the adventure, why not use the colorful language
too, right?
Cruising on royal carribean cruise lines, carnaval cruises, and
disney cruise ships, as well as others, can be a fun adventure
for everyone if you understand in advance what requirements are
involved. So be sure to read them carefully as supplied by your
cruise line and you can have the vacation cruise of your life.
