Benefits of Cruising

Cruising... the future of travel?

Some of you are totally sold on cruising and is now their only form of travel. 
Other aren't yet convinced of the new form of travel that is cruising.. 
Here are some of the benefits of cruising that you may not be aware of...

Food 

Cruising is a total food fest. With most cruislines offering a buffet and a main dining room for guests with a 3 course dinner each night at the restaurant. All included in your cruise fare. 
There will also be other speciality restaurants which have a nominal cover charge. 
There are also various cafes and places to grab a snack at during the day. 
You will never go hungry on a cruise ship. 

Unpacking 

Only having to unpack your suitcase once is a huge benefit of cruising. Not having to drag your suitcase up and down stairs and pack and unpack every night. You can hang up all your clothes and enjoy your holiday. 

On Board Account

You are set up with an on board account on the first day of your cruise which is what you will use for anything you purchase onboard - shore excursions, spa treatments, cocktails etc. 
This makes the cruiseship a totally cashless system and you simply just pay your final balance the night before you disembark. 

New Day New City

Going to bed one night and waking up in a different city is a fabulous yet economical way to travel. Rather than sitting on a plane to travel to your next destination you can be having dinner in the dining room, watching a show or relaxing up on deck as you leisurely cruise to your next destination. 

Activities & Entertainment 

Cruiselines offer an array of activities for passengers onboard. Depending on the cruise line activities vary from rock climbing, swimming pools, hot tubs, basketball court, wave rider, ice skating, mini golf, casino, fitness centre, bingo, trivia and other daily activities throughout the ship. The main theatre have a nightly show which could be a musical, dance performance, comedian or special guest. 

Consider a cruise for your next holiday, i'm sure you won't be disappointed.
