I have a total confession. I am completely addicted to Cruising. I love it! I love that all my meals are included-and they are FABULOUS. The entertainment is included and I get to go to more than one place. I believe that cruising is actually relatively inexpensive. If you shop around and can be flexible with your travel dates you can get a great deal on cruises.
So far, we have only traveled aboard Carnival. You can find 4 night cruises for around $300 including taxes-per person. You can also find a 7 night Cruise for around $450 including taxes per person. Then you have to purchase your airline tickets and then you are set. Well, with the exception of transfers, excursions, and gratuity.
The reason I think that cruising is such a good deal is because it's all inclusive. The food is wonderful and you are served at dinner with selections such as Prime Rib, KC Strip, or Lobster Tail. The activities are really fun, such as dancing, animal towel folding, ice sculptures, bingo, trivia, karaoke, Las Vegas style shows, Comedians, Art Auctions etc. Then I love getting to see more than one place without having to pack up and move. The staff is AWESOME and I love that you can do as much or as little as you would like.
Well, I don't think that I have explained the joys of cruising to my satisfaction but I gave it a whirl. I really recommend cruising and I can't wait to go again.
Special Tips:
1. Don't spend a crazy amount of money on excursions, just walking around the island you visit is really entertaining and way cheaper.
2. Watch Out! Don't go crazy with alcoholic drinks. Drink what is on special and then keep it to a minimal or your bill will be sky high.
3. Spend time relaxing, it's tempting to try to do everything but try to schedule some relax time.
4. Enjoy the Captains reception, take advantage of the free drinks.
5. Be Adventurous and try new things-be very open minded.
