Top 10 Reasons to Take a Cruise
Top Reasons to Take a Cruise
#1: A Cruise Vacation Offers Great Value
Cruises offer great value for your vacation dollar because the fares include nearly everything you'll need for a fantastic trip: food, accommodations, daytime and evening entertainment and transportation between travel destinations.
#2: See Multiple Destinations, Unpack Only Once
On a cruise, you unpack once and your floating hotel takes you from city to city or from island to island and there's no need to mess with train or ferry schedules, or lug your suitcase along cobblestone streets. Every morning, you'll wake up in a new place.
#3: Cruise Ships are Family Friendly
From tots to teens, grandparents to grandkids, family cruises are fun for all ages. If you're struggling to find a vacation that your 5-, 10- and 15-year-olds will all love -- and that has adult activities, too -- ships now have extensive kids' facilities, split by age.
#4: Choose to cruise for SIMPLICITY.
Don't come back from your vacation needing a vacation. Planning a cruise is simple; Click BOOK IT on your PERSONAL TRAVEL APP to handle all of the details or book your cruise online on your on PERSONAL TRAVEL WEBSITE. Once you're on board, nearly all expenses are pre-paid... talk about hassle-free.
#5: Ships Offer a Variety of Onboard Activities
Today's cruise ships are designed to keep everyone happy. Want to pamper yourself at the spa while your spouse hits the casino? Or lounge in the sun reading a book while your family plays basketball. You can go to an educational lecture, a wine tasting, a computer class or a dance workshop; paint pottery, play bridge, learn a language or do yoga; dine at a casual buffet, a fancy sit-down restaurant, a sushi bar, a diner or a steakhouse; watch a movie, a comedy routine, a song-and-dance show or live music performance.
#6: FUN & ROMANCE
Secluded beaches, en suite dining on a balcony overlooking the ocean and spa services for two are just some of the romantic options available. Couples and Honeymooners will find a cruise to be one of the most romantic vacations ever!
#7: FABULOUS CUISINE
Tantalize your taste buds with gourmet fare and specialty dishes featuring exotic ingredients. Most ships even offer old standbys like pizza and ice cream or most ships offer spa cuisine for a healthy alternative. Depending on your mood, dine in a traditional luxurious dining ballroom setting, a small bistro or a casual eatery. There are many choices on cruise ships.
#8: Plan an Exotic Vacation
Always wanted to visit Asia but are nervous about the language barrier? Curious about the Middle East, but nervous about country customs? A cruise is one of the best ways to see the most exotic and foreign destinations in the world in an easy way.
Itineraries offer calls at major cities and picturesque villages, all of which will be regional highlights, so you don't have to do the research on the best places to visit in an unfamiliar destination. If you're uncomfortable with independent sightseeing in a new locale, simply take a ship's tour with English-speaking guides. Or team up with more experienced travelers you meet in the TRAVEL CLUB or onboard to share a cab or private guide.
#9: Choose to cruise for PAMPERING
Regardless of your budget, all cruise lines pamper their guests with first-class service around the clock.
