Set Sail with the Right Cruise for You
You have just seen what seems to be the one thousandth picture
of your neighbor's recent cruise. With your eyes and ears on
autopilot, you start to daydream about taking a cruise too. If
anything, it would give you the opportunity to take your own
thousand pictures to parade in front of your neighbor!
Where would I want to go? Which cruise line do I choose? How
much is this going to cost me? Deciding the right cruise for you
can seem a bit mystifying at first, but if you sit down and
brainstorm on what you want, you can find a cruise line that
closely fits your requirements.
For instance, where you live can be a deciding factor on which
cruise you could take. If you live close to the ocean, chances
are there is a shipping port of some sort nearby. You could
drive to the port within a reasonable amount of time since most
cruise lines have to temporarily dock somewhere to refuel and
replenish supplies. However, if that is not an option, you would
have to factor in the cost of flying in to an airport that is
closest to a shipping port. Depending on your budget and
location, this could be cost prohibitive for some people.
What destination you have in mind is also helpful in your
decision to pick a cruise. You can cruise in practically any
ocean in the world. Want to see Mexico? There are many Mexican
cruises departing from Texas ports like Galveston. Perhaps you
would like to take a cruise in cooler weather and head to Alaska
to see its many glaciers and wildlife.
Where you go on your cruise can also dictate when you go. For
instance, if you want to take that Alaskan cruise, plan to
depart anywhere from May through September. Cruising those icy
waters in the winter time can be dangerous. Also keep in mind
that seasons are reversed in some areas of the world.
Winter
time in the United States might call for a South American
destination like Rio de Janeiro because it is summer there.
The number of vacation days you can take off from work is also a
factor in choosing the right cruise for you. The typical length
of a cruise is anywhere from four days to twelve days. If you
are close to a shipping port, then short two days cruises might
be a great option for you.
Money matters in your cruise decision as well. Research what the
cruise is offering. Some are all inclusive which means that your
cabin, meals and entertainment are taken care of in your price.
Any services offered on board like the spa, manicures, hair
stylists and massages are extra. Liquor and extra food and
drinks can be additional. Your cabin also determines the price
of your cruise. Do you want the inexpensive cabins on the inside
of the ship? Or do you want your own view with a large window,
porthole or even your own balcony?
Once you have an idea of where you want to go, what you can
spend and how long you can be away, then you are ready to shop
around. If you are a member of an association like AAA, they can
offer you great deals for cruise packages to a variety of
destinations. Use the internet as a research tool and visit
websites of various cruise lines for more information. Or if you
prefer, talk with your neighbor about her experience and how she
booked her cruise. Just be prepared for another round of
pictures from her vacation!
