If you are new to cruises as a way to enjoy your vacation, then there are a number of things you should know before you book. Cruisecritic.com has created a cruise planning section that is ideal for first timers. Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions as well as other advice that is very useful. The following is a brief rundown of their advice: • Since no two cruise ships are equal, it is important to consider the ship on which you will be sailing as well as the price and destination. • Remember that you can arrange your own shore excursions. • Using a travel agent might help you access special offers you might not find on your own. • Make sure you are familiar with the ports you will be visiting. • Be prepared for rainy weather – it happens everywhere. • Travelers cannot take their own alcohol onboard and when it comes to purchasing alcohol, you don't need to tip double because there is an auto-gratuity included in the price. • Be sure to determine the best and cheapest way to keep connected with home before you set sail. • Use the gym and the stairs when on your cruise and you will burn those extra buffet-induced calories. • Finally, on the first day you might want to skip the buffet in favor of a quiet meal as most people attack the buffet as soon as they get onboard and the lineups will be long. |
