No, you don’t need to be dressed up in anything elaborate. Just be comfortable and ready to relax.


Where do cruises start?

Miami is the most popular destination for cruise vacations. Cruises depart from this city because it has both international airports and ports. These two locations make it possible for passengers to explore South America as well as Europe.


What is a cruise ship vacation?

A cruise ship vacation can be described as an all-inclusive experience that provides all the amenities you need. Access to all amenities, such as restaurants, spas and entertainment, as well as activities and excursions, is available. It's more than a place to stay and eat. It's also a great opportunity to relax and have fun. The only thing that you need to bring with you is your sense of adventure!


When should I book my cruise?

It all depends on where you're traveling. You will have more flexibility when it comes to dates if you book your cruise early. A cruise could be planned around summer months in Europe, for instance. You might also want to book your cruise earlier if you plan to travel to Asia and South America.


How long does the journey to port take?

The distance between the port (and the ship) and the speed at the which the ship travels determine how long it takes for the port to reach. It is important to note that some ships dock very close to shore so they can quickly unload their passengers. Others dock further from shore so the ship takes longer to arrive.

How To

How to stay safe while on a cruise ship

You need to know a lot before you set sail on your cruise. You must understand how to behave when onboard so you don't get into trouble. Here are some safety tips to help you enjoy your trip.

  1. Always be aware of what is happening around you. People tend to gather together on cruise ships, especially at meals. You can easily become distracted by the chatter and food of others. Do not let people distract you from your task. If you witness someone smoking or drinking alcohol, please tell them politely that they must stop.
  2. Always keep your room key close to you when you board the ship, and hand over your room key to the person checking you in. You'll be easily found if something happens. Also, make sure to have your passport.
  3. Keep valuables away from prying eyes. Most cabins come equipped with drawers under the bed. That's a great place to store valuables such as passports, credit cards, and money. You should also make sure that nothing of value is visible. Keep your bags hidden in the closet.
  4. Keep hydrated. While cruise ships have plenty of water, sometimes it can be difficult for passengers to remember to drink enough. Get bottled water for free on the ship. Avoid becoming dehydrated. Dehydration makes you tired and cranky, leading to fights or accidents.
  5. Attention to announcements. Announcements are posted everywhere, including on TV screens and public address systems. They include safety procedures as well emergency exits and even weather reports. Pay attention to these announcements. They could save your life.
  6. Lock your cabin door before you leave it. No matter how friendly a crew member may seem, never leave your cabin without locking it. Unlocked doors are often used by thieves to gain entry. Ask a crew member first if you need to use the bathroom.
  7. Avoid going alone overboard. The crew will need to wait for you to be rescued if you do fall overboard. Your body may be attracted by sharks and other sea creatures. It is best to wait for help.
  8. Do not smoke in an elevator. These elevators can quickly become smokey due to their high pressure. You should immediately get off if you feel dizzy, lightheaded or confused. Even though the air outside is fresh, it doesn't mean breathing is safe.
  9. Learn the evacuation procedure. Every year, many people die in elevators. In an emergency, you should follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
  10. Get familiar with the fire drill. Fire drills happen regularly, usually once per day. Everyone on the deck must evacuate during a drill. Follow the instructions given by crew members. Once the drill has been completed, return back to your cabin.
  11. Ask questions before you accept food and drinks. Cruisers can get food poisoning. People don't know that certain foods are not safe to be eaten while aboard a ship. Many cruise ships ban raw oysters. If you are unsure about the safety of the food, refuse to eat it and ask for another one.
  12. When using the pool, be careful. Many passengers have accidentally fallen into the pool. If this happens to you, tread water until someone notices you. It is possible to slip and tumble on the deck at any given moment. So always wear proper footwear and pay attention to your surroundings.
