FAQ
How long does it take for you to get to port?
The time it takes to reach the port depends on several factors, including the distance between the port and the ship, the speed at which the ship travels, etc. Some ships dock close to shore to allow them to quickly unload passengers. Others dock further from shore so the ship takes longer to arrive.
Why don't you book your cruise early?
You don't have to book your cruise before you travel. It may be possible to save money by booking your cruise last-minute. If you do decide to wait, book early. This will allow you to benefit from special promotions and deals offered by cruise companies.
Are cruise ships safe?
Yes, cruise ship travel is very safe. Cruise ships are equipped to handle the most sophisticated technology and security measures. Safety standards are also adhered to by cruise ships. Crew members go through extensive training, and must pass background checks. All passengers are checked upon their arrival onboard the ship. Some cruise lines require passengers' proof of immunization against certain diseases. If you have any concerns regarding your safety on board, you can contact the cruise lines customer relations department immediately.
How does cruising work
A deposit is required to reserve a cabin for a cruise. It can range from $50-$100. Your balance is due 30 days before departure. Check into your cabin after you arrive at port. You can then take part in any of the onboard activities.
Which type of cabin should I choose?
Think about the space you need when choosing a cabin. Do you feel comfortable sharing a bathroom? Or would you rather have a private bathroom? Is noise important to you? Will you spend most of your time in the dining area or relaxing in your stateroom? Also consider whether you desire an interior view, or a balcony. Balconies are a bit more spacious, but can sometimes be loud. Interior views are usually quieter than balconies.

How To
How to avoid seasickness on a cruise
Wearing a hat on a cruise will help you avoid getting seasick. A wide-brimmed hat helps prevent motion sickness by keeping the head from moving too much.
Also, a cap keeps water off the skin and helps to reduce the moisture content of the air. This allows people who are prone to dizziness from inhaling moist air to breathe more easily.
Another tip is that you should drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate our bodies, which makes it difficult for fluid to move around in our stomachs. Salt levels can be decreased by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body and kidneys to retain water. This can lead to nausea.
Salty foods can help if you feel nauseated. Salty foods can cause your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acids, which aids in breaking down food particles.
These are just some of the possible ways to reduce seasickness. Be aware that some medications may have side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and headaches.
