What is cruising in a ship like?
A cruise ship is like a floating resort as it is furnished with all the amenities, entertainment and luxuries which the five hotels and resorts offer on land. It is not an exclusive preserve of the rich. People from all walks of life, singles and couples, young and old can enjoy their holidays in a ship.
How do the passengers spend their time in the ship?
A cruise ship offers round the clock entertainment for every type of passenger. There are games and sports, singing, dancing, a variety of dining options and exclusive shopping. The young have their pools and deck areas, playrooms, video arcades while the teens can chill out in discos. The children have computer lab, arts and crafts centers. There are even nurseries for the tiny tots so that the parents can enjoy the night parties. Or, you can just relax on the chair and watch the clear blue skies.
How do they visit the towns or other scenic spots at the ports of call?
Passengers can leave the ship and visit the surrounding areas under the guided or prepackaged tours, enjoy the onshore activities or indulge in shopping.
How about the air fair and the transport?
Air fares and transfers from and to the airport are mostly included in the cruise package. It is better that you arrange the air ticket through the cruise line so that you enjoy a hassle free holiday.
Can you extend your stay in the cruise?
Most cruise ships allow the passengers to extend the stay for nominal fees so as to adjust their departure with the flight timings and avoid the rush at the airports.
