You have a floating hotel, so you never have to pack or move your bags. They serve great meals eleven times everyday! There's all kinds of meals and snacks and delicious stuff. On some cruises they go to several exotic islands and let you get off and explore. And the cruise director can either tell you what the best things to do on the island, or plan excursions for you like scooter rentals, guided hikes, bus tours of the attractions, guided shopping trips, etc. There are movies and games on the ship. There are talent shows and entertainment and maybe even gambling on the ship. There may be an exercise room, a sauna, a pool and a running track.

A cruise is like a floating hotel. If you flew somewhere, you would have to pay airfare, hotel, ground transportation, meals, and entertainment for each destination you visit.

On a cruise, once you get there, you can unpack and unwind. There's an entire crew of people there to plan activities, games, and live shows to keep you entertained. All of your meals are included, and most cruises will stop at least 2 different destinations.

Someone to wait on you 24/7 is the best on a cruise.Almost everything is paid for so it's easy to budget. Down side is you only have a few hours in a port of call.But if you like the area you can always go back and stay there at another time.


shhhhhhhhhhhimhiding
Cruises are fantastic. You can go to multiple ports and see new things at each place without having to unpack or drive. You can eat whenever you are hungry, be entertained or just sit back and relax. I like the ability to go to sleep in one place and wake up in another with no effort on my part

you pack and only have to unpack ONCE.
thats a big advantage. You see sites and then you can get back on the ship and have your room there. you have your meals all prepared for you, and entertainment.

You can walk around a cruise ship. You can also swim, lay out in the sun, lay out and read. You can eat good food. Basically you will be a lot more comfortable on a cruise ship than you will be on an airplane.

On a cruise ship your "hotel" room moves with you. So you only unpack and pack once. While the ship is moving between ports, you have your choice of several activities. Each port is some place different.

A cruise is all about doing as much or as little as you want, in far more comfort then you would find on an airplane, even in first class.

Here's 10 reasons:
1.. 24 Hour room service at no extra charge.
2. Housekeeping of your room twice per day.
3. Great food. High style dining with French service to casual pizza. Its your choice anytime 24/7.
4. Your hotel goes with you.
5. Shows, entertainment, casino gaming, pools, saunas, spas, and plenty of pampering.
6. Breath taking views going into port of call and leaving port.
7. Ocean breezes in your room (if you have a balcony) and beautiful sunrises and sunsets from anywhere on ship.
8. Great opportunities to meet great people and make friends.
9. Virutally cashless on board. Almost everything is included in your fare except drinks and spa services and on some cruises, specialty dining.
10. You never feel crowded on a ship.

i like you had never been on a cruise, advantages of cruising were anything your heart desired, (almost) fantastic food, ports of call to explore, many shows to enjoy, i loved it, the people you meet on the cruise are from all over the world, 24 hour buffets, all night pizza/ice cream bar.. tropical drinks by the pool, it was fabulous...you really should try it.
