Which type of cabin should I choose?
It is important to consider the space you require when you choose a cabin. Do you feel comfortable sharing a bathroom? Would you prefer a private bathroom? Do you value noise?

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). Here are some tips to help make this vacation even easier:
-
Start early - Book your cruise at least 6 months before departure. You can save money and avoid crowds by booking early. Also, you'll have plenty time to research your ship, itinerary, ports and activities. You may even be able to find a bargain on airfare.
-
Choose a destination - It doesn't matter which port you choose; just pick one that appeals to you. Many reasons people enjoy cruising to different places. 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. The Caribbean is the most popular destination, followed closely by Europe or Alaska.

Consider booking a suite - If money isn't an issue, book a suite. Suites include extra space, a private terrace, and additional amenities. These rooms are generally available for $100-$300 per evening, depending on how big your room is and if there are any suites available during your sailing date.
-
Check the weather forecast. Cruising can often be associated with warm tropical environments. But, make sure to check the weather forecasts on the days you'll visit the ports. The weather can be unpredictable, especially in Antarctica. It is best to find out what the forecasts are before you book your cruise.

Pack light - When packing for your cruise, limit yourself to only 10 items. No need to take too many clothes or shoes with you. Pack everything in small bags that you can carry on. You should also bring layers of clothing as you may not always have access to laundry facilities.
