FAQ
Is a cruise a good holiday?
The best vacations are those where you are free to relax and have fun. A cruise can be just what you need!
Where do cruises begin?
Miami, Florida is a popular place to start a cruise vacation. Because it is home to both international airports as well as ports, cruises depart from Miami. These two locations allow passengers to explore the rest of South America and Europe.
Which type of cabin should I choose?
Think about the space you need when choosing a cabin. Do you feel comfortable sharing a bathroom? Would you prefer your own private bathroom? Do you find noise essential? Will you spend most of your time in the dining area or relaxing in your stateroom? You should also consider whether you prefer an interior view or a balcony. Balconies are a bit more spacious, but can sometimes be loud. Interior views are generally quieter than balconies.
Do I have to dress up for a cruise or not?
No, you don't need to wear formal attire or anything fancy. Just be comfortable and ready to relax.
Can I book my cruise prior to or after I have booked my airfare?
It depends on which part of the world you are traveling to. It's better to book your cruise earlier than later because you have more flexibility on dates. If you are certain that you will be traveling to Europe in the summer, you can plan your cruise around these dates. To avoid paying high season prices, book your cruise if you're going to Asia or South America.
