Cruise Ships Are Floating Resorts

Posted January 5th, 2008 at 9:47 am in Cruising Q & A

Cruise Vacations Rule!

You will find that today's mega-cruise ships are so grand in scope and construction that they resemble floating resorts, offering all the amenities a world-class resort does but with a bonus - the "grounds" of this particular type of resort are hard to beat, the ocean itself! Right outside your stateroom window!

After experiencing several cruises you may find that you prefer one style of ship over another. Maybe your preference is a smaller ship, cruising in a more intimate setting and able to go where the big ships can't. The smaller cruise ships offer unique destinations but are no less equipped than their big sisters.

You may decide that you enjoy the more festive, carnival-like atmosphere and the amenities that the bigger ships offer, things such as a glitzy casino or an immense ballroom with Las Vegas style reviews. Your chances of making new friends are better on a big ship, people that share the same interests as you and with whom you will want to socialize with during your cruise or accompany on a shore excursion.

The style of cruise ship that you choose and the destinations available today can confuse even the most seasoned traveler. Consult a CLIA Cruise Specialist today!
