How To

How do I plan my first Cruise?

A cruise planning process is similar to any other trip. There are many things you need to consider such as where to go and what activities to include, costing, and budgeting. You should be aware that there are important differences in the planning of your first cruise, especially if this is your first time. You won't want anything to miss because cruises are typically longer than land vacations (upto 3 weeks). These tips can make your vacation easier.

  1. Start early - Book your cruise at least 6 months before departure. This way, you can get great deals and avoid crowds. You'll also have ample time to research the ship, its itinerary, ports, and other activities. You might even find a discount on your airfare!
  2. Choose a destination. - It doesn’t matter what port you choose. Just pick the one that interests you. There are many reasons why people love to cruise. Some love to travel while others prefer to relax and unwind on the boat. No matter what your preference, remember that you must consider the destination you want to visit. A popular choice is a Caribbean island, followed closely by Europe and Alaska.
  3. Book a suite. Suites have more space, a private balcony and other amenities. These suites can usually be booked for $100-$300 per person, depending on their size and availability during your sailing date.
  4. Check the weather forecast - Cruising is often associated with warm tropical climates. Don't forget about checking the weather forecasts when you visit ports. The weather can be unpredictable, especially in Antarctica. It is best to find out what the forecasts are before you book your cruise.
  5. Be light-weight - Pack only 10 items when packing for a cruise. No need to take too many clothes or shoes with you. It's better to pack only what you actually need in small bags. Consider layering clothing since you won't always have access to laundries onboard.
  6. Do your research. Before you buy tickets, make sure to read online reviews. You should understand their pricing policies and what services they offer. Also, make sure to check if cancellation policies are applicable.
  7. Don't miss these must-see spots - Visit each port at least once. Each has its unique charm and culture, so take advantage of all the local sites.
