For Many People Cruising is the Best way to see the
World!
Perhaps not everybody is cut out to cruise, but a lot
of us are. I have a twin brother John, who likes to do stuff like hike
through the Himalayas in the snow, and truck through the jungles of
Brazil. Well he can have his adventures, but when I am on vacation I
like to find a chocolate on my pillow when I hit the sack after a hard
night at the casino.
Cruising is not really expensive. For the nightly
price of a good hotel room you not only get a place to sleep, but you
get 24 hour a day free room service, all kinds of food available all the
time, fantastic meals in formal dinning rooms or just hit the buffet.
Free shows, free movies, entertainment of all sorts, a casino, swimming
pools, hot tubs, putting greens, tennis, ping pong. All free.
There really is something for everyone. There are
contests at the pools, bingo for those so inclined, art auctions,
dancing lessons, and demonstrations of ice carving and even juggling
bartenders. Don’t worry about missing those important emails, because
all the ships have internet cafes now. The last cruise I was on, I had
wireless internet in my room.
For the ladies there is always an elegant spa and
all kinds of beauty treatments available. My wife really enjoys getting
a foot massage after a long shore excursion…in preparation for the
evenings dancing. You can even do your shopping on board, since there
are a number of stores on the ship selling everything from clothing to
jewelry. And be sure to bring some formal gowns for the formal nights
on the ship. Formal nights are your chance to wear all that new jewelry
and those new shoes with your new gown.
There are different kinds of cruises and quite a
few cruise lines to choose from. Some cruise lines are known for having
superior service, some for lower costs, and some for catering to kids.
There are destination cruises where the main thing is seeing the sights
at the ports of call. Then there are party cruises that tend to be
populated by younger couples and the destinations are less important
than the activities and partying. There are also specialty cruises that
cater to gay couples and singles etc.
The destinations and shore excursions can be a very
important part of the cruise experience. You can find cruises that take
you darned near everywhere you could ever want to go. I’ve seen
everything from the pyramids of Egypt to the Great Wall of China by
going on cruises. And my wife and I have ridden ATV’s through the
jungle, swam with dolphins, and went tubing in underground caves…all on
just one cruise!
So if you want to visit Harrods department store in
London, walk on the Great Wall of China, see the ancient Greek ruins at
Ephesus, or visit Red Square in Moscow, and you want to do it in style,
choose a cruise. No unpacking and repacking, no strange food unless you
really want it, and great service 24 hours a day. It’s about as close
to a worry free vacation as you can get.
For those of us who want to be pampered and spoiled
and see the world at the same time you just can’t beat a cruise ship
vacation.
