Can I afford a cruise? If you can afford to take a hotel-based vacation, you can afford to take a cruise vacation. There are cruises available at all price ranges - from budget to luxury - and all represent perhaps the best value for your vacation dollar.
What do I get for my money? Your cruise price includes your cabin, all meals, entertainment, parties and, of course, all transportation between all the ports on your itinerary. On most ships, alcoholic beverages and optional shore excursions are not included in the basic price. Will I feel bored or confined on board?
Think of a cruise ship as a floating resort on par with any Las Vegas megahotel. On-board activities begin at dawn and go into the wee hours of the night.
The scenery is constantly changing, and every port is filled with new and exciting opportunities for exploration. What can I do on a ship? That depends on the ship, but generally the larger ships will have the most activities.
You may wish to lounge on deck by the pool with a good book, sign up for exercise or cooking classes, swim, play bingo or bridge, gamble in the casino, take in a Broadway-style floor show or a magician's act, enter a talent show or a putting contest, take a dance class, get a massage or attend a lecture. How long do cruises last? Vacations To Go sells cruises that range from 3-night weekend escapes to night, around-the-world voyages. Is airfare included in my cruise price?
