Frat House or the house of your dreams – Choose the cruise that suits you

Most people who book a cruise for the first times (92%) will make his selection based on when you can go and how long they can stay. The second most important factor is cost. All still depends on these two issues. In 2006, there were 112 cruise ships operating in various U.S. ports carry about 10 million passengers on cruises around 4500. 70% of 10 million people were to destinations in the Caribbean, and four cruise lines (Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Celebrity Big Four), which represent about three-quarters of the passengers.

If you fall into this broad category, your choices will be less, but this does not mean you have to settle for something you do not. But just ask: "What is the best boat (or cruise line)? It's like ask "What is the best beer?" O "What color is the most beautiful?" The same things that you enjoy a cruise on a cruise are the things that others hate cruises. The good news is that everything I love, there is someone there to make a bang-up job to provide it.

Overall, the four leading experts in the "more is better" approach to cruising, while Cruise Lines smallest focus on more specific areas, such as 5-star quality, small intimate ships, enrichment, etc. Here some factors you can consider when choosing your cruise.

The size of the vessel.

Here are some general observations can be compared to the size of the vessel.

What travelers are there for.
The largest is the boat, most attention to ensure that the experience on board is as memorable as possible. This is reflected by activities, entertainment and festive, social liberal, fun-games and the environment. If that bothers you, these large vessels can rub in the bad sense.

How many people move with him.
Plus the boat, more people in it (duh). Overall, families, singles groups and singles travel prefer non-stop pace of large vessels. On the other hand, if you prefer quiet and do not like the rush of the crowd around the pool or in the room dining you have a better chance in the small vessels, particularly those of less than 1,200 passengers.

The types of ports visited.
Large vessels going to the major ports. Some ports such as Roatán, Honduras and Veracruz, Mexico, are available only for small boats. Sometimes ports are the same thing which makes the cruise so special. If the ports of call are at the top of his list of reasons to take a cruise, remember to book the passage of small boats companies that have developed routes.

Age of Barca

"Old" is a term for the industry cruises, ie, vessels that began around 1990 or earlier (15 + years a go). Many of these boats is the prior art in the announced time and more favorable cruise had to offer. But over the past 15 years, the cruise industry has received more and more ways extravagant that were unimaginable two decades ago.

Older ships are not bad, just different. Much less effective and have developed designs more traditional. Some of the extras and services that are common in new ships, such as the Internet in the cab, theme restaurants, meal replacement, wave pools and skating rinks are not usually on smaller ships old. The cabins are small, critical areas of movement (such as elevator lobbies lines and landing) are very congested and busy shops. Some passengers (not all) a notice or a rancid odor complained that ventilation systems Cabins are in a bad mood.

In addition, many old ships have been equipped and renovated in recent years, they are very well cruise ships. They are the key terms used in the shorter cruises (3-5 days) and generally lower prices. Taking into account the value of the cruise experience. Maybe the older ships are not as fresh and perfect as the most recent but the value they provide – what you get for what you pay – may be pending.

Boat Design

If achieved with an extreme makeover or during the construction phase, the cruises have a special design. Some are designed for luxury, some for fun, some trying to find a happy medium. The vessels are often given "star" ratings similar to those given to hotels. Some vessels are 5 stars like Holland America. Others are 4 stars, like Carnival or Royal Caribbean. Keep in mind, if you want 5-star hotel, cruise on a vessel of 5 stars. Do not take a cruise on March 1 – Or 4-star ship may be unfortunate because it is superior. Good resource available on the Internet, is the "Galaxsea.com" Cruise Site Comments (http://www.galaxsea.com/ratings.html).

It also recommends various message boards proliferate on the Internet. Places like the Cruisecritic. Com or Cruisemates.com are a great way to see what others say ship and itinerary you plan. You can browse through hundreds of messages from people who have been there, and you can ask specific questions people cruise taken very seriously.

Entertainment type

If the play combo in the pool, the bands being done in clubs or ostentatious production numbers that grace the theaters, cruise ships put a lot of thought and a ton of money in the presentation of performances. Choose the right entertainment environment and spend a few days in sunny happiness happy. Choosing the wrong, and you feel like you're surrounded by lots of people scratching their nails on a blackboard.

Entertainment is not just for the lounge / club / scene Day. It is also cooking classes, lectures, watching a movie, wine tasting, casino, his team analyzed the golf swing, Karaoke, bingo, game-play "or tourism in the kitchen. You can have a good idea for the type of entertainment offered by a boat and go online and control bulletin board ships. everything that happens in the ship list. Each cruise line has a website demo version of their newsletters. If your agent Travel is good at everything, they have copies of a variety cruise they took.

Food

For many people, a cruise is to do with food. If you're one of them, you want to know what your Future ship has to offer.

Main Dining Room (also known to eat). All cruise ships have at least one seat dining room and many vessels have more than one. The main dining room is the epitome of luxury and service in the building and work hard to provide choices in the classroom. It is an opportunity to sample foods and preparation styles that will never know otherwise. The main dining room is also open for breakfast and lunch. No seats are allocated for these foods, but still receives a great service and menu options are very good.

Many ships now offer alternative dining require reservations and / or a supplement to choose among restaurants specializing in kitchen French, shellfish, or any number of other issues. There is a surcharge of $ 5 – $ 15 per person, but for those who like choice, it's worth the money. This option is generally not available on ships built before 1990 because the idea was not popular enough to include the additional space needed.

Alternatives for dinner. Besides the main dining room, all the ships have a variety of interesting food options. Each has its own version of routes operating through the buffet all day, and Of course, some are better than others. New York-style delicatessen, pizza and sushi bars, and grills popular pool are just some ideas used. Most vessels they now also provide coffee shops, bakeries and ice cream counters in general an additional cost. Room service is available 24 hours of the day (no charge), cakes and fruit in the morning and sandwiches and pizza all day and night.

Services available

Childcare and youth. Cruise Lines understand that people who pay the tab need to have a good when the opportunity to return. And the way to ensure parents have a good time is to ensure that children are traveling with a good time.

If you plan a family cruise, will travel on a boat that offers the best environment for young people in their group. On the other hand, if you do not want to have their space invaded by young people should stay away from cruise that make youth programs a priority (like Disney). The programs are developed to provide age-appropriate activities and usually form free. There will be information on youth programs in the first day of your cruise you can get all the information you need, as well as meet people who will be supervising their children.

Almost all ships in the cabin offers a storage service for a fee. When provided, these services require payment in cash directly to the model instead of the transaction costs to your shipboard account.

/ Enrichment programs education. With more traditional programs such as yoga, tips Nutrition and folding towels, some ships now offer gourmet cooking shows, wine tasting, art education, photography digital computers, flowers, pottery, etc.. Most are offered free of charge. Availability program increases with the duration of the cruise. Short cruises usually have a single day at sea, which is the most popular time to offer these classes. Some cruise lines on top of a premium on enrichment programs, as elsewhere in the cruise lines and vacation fun.

Spa Facilities. In general, most of the vessels considered as a spa and fitness is very essential. Most cruise companies outsource their Steiner Leisure Spa Operations Ltd., London, England, which operate stations over a hundred ships cruising, including all stations Royal Caribbean Carnival and Disney ships. In all likelihood, no matter what ship you choose, you'll see a menu of options and spa as well.

/ Fitness Centre Gym. Although generally can expect a consistent level of quality and service in spas, unfortunately we can not always ie gyms. Some are quite spectacular. Others are a little more than a closet with treadmills. The new ships have gyms very nice, regardless cruise lines. The larger vessels, is to say those built before 1990 may or may not, depending on whether the vessel has recently been reassembled. exercise equipment generally includes treadmills, stationary bikes, free weights and cardiovascular machines, and most come with one or two personnel managers Fitness. Gyms usually include men and women locker rooms, swimming pools whirlpool, saunas and steam rooms.

Internet. Most ships have some sort of Internet access, but it is a relatively new technology in terms of passenger services go. In new boats, there is access around the boat, even in the cabs of many. But the main vessels have more limited access. Cafés Internet are as common as casinos. The cruise lines are working hard to achieve a wireless Internet access throughout the boat and there are certainly happen. But this does not mean that you can check your e-mail to the pool. In certain cases, wireless access is limited to one or two places. If you make your laptop, looking for outlets on the ship can be really difficult. Make sure your battery is charged. Laptops and maps Wireless can be rented onboard.

size options cabin

There are basically four options for cabs at Inside, after ocean view or a terrace (some ships is called "Gallery").

Exterior: The face of the cabin on board at least. The size of rooms may vary considerably from one vessel to another. RCCL Sovereign class ships are ridiculously small (119 square feet) when a car in the same price in the carnival is 50% larger (187 square feet).

Interior: As a rule general, the same breakdown within the cabins, but has a window or door. The price difference between a standard inside cabin and a cabin overlooking the sea varies from $ 10 – $ 40 per night (not cruisers), depending on the boat and time of year. In almost all cases, outside cabins, whether or not they have balconies, are larger, sometimes up to 15%. If your outside cabin is one of the bridges has an outer shell that ocean and not necessarily much more you have to deal with people walking outside your window open day.

Balcony. Before 1990, the balconies are not considered important, as most ships built during this period or not at all or only a part. For all the newer ships, or those built after 1995, balconies abound. A balcony will add $ 20 – $ 30 per night with cost of an outside cabin, which usually works at about twice the cost of an inside cabin. For a cruise three days, given the short time will happen in your cabin, a balcony can not be worth twice the cost.

More. In fact, "now" is a fairly generous, because what you are doing is a car-sized (about twice the size of your standard cab and 3-4 times cost). There are suites that offer separate rooms and private jacuzzis on the balcony, but they are very limited and very expensive (5-10 times more expensive than the inside car). Most suites are larger and generally better equipped version of a standard room.

In examining options Cab, think of the number of people to share and whenever you are using. The higher the speed, size, large balconies and becoming. Site of the cabin also determines convenience (and cost). For example, both reduce cabin noise engine noise pickup or drop anchor, but they tend to be more stable in rough seas. Cottages located close to the action almost half of the ship are practical, but also in areas of heavy traffic resulting halllway noise outside your cabin.

Route

Caribbean cruises are divided into three regions – Western Caribbean (Cozumel or Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Grand Cayman, Key West, FL, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Belize, Costa Or Rica), the Eastern Caribbean (Bahamas, St. Thomas, San Juan, Puerto Rico Turks and Caicos) and the Southern Caribbean (Aruba, Martinique, Barbados or St. Thomas).

Caribbean Cruises West tend to include more days at sea because of the destination are so different and the distance of travel shall, on the Gulf of Mexico is so long. If you take one of them, be sure to choose a boat that you like because they spend much time on it.

Eastern and Southern Caribbean cruises tend to include more ports of call (the islands are near each other) and therefore offer a greater variety of places. This does not mean you have a greater variety of activities. The basic port to port in general, the same type of activity, only different landscape.

Some things you want to examine, in addition to where it goes:

How long are you there? The ships are in port for only part of a single day when there is sufficient time for a field trip and leaves no time for shopping or the bar in the bar. The ships are in port at night, or at least until midnight to allow a greater diversity of activities in the port.

When Incoming or outgoing? It can import, for example, to a dinner sunset cruise, but the vessel is removed at sunset. Similarly, if you have booked a shore excursion on its own that requires time to pick up at 9:30, but the ship did not dock until noon, you lose your money.

How landfall? Sometimes the cruise dock and tie just below the bridge and walk on land. Sometimes ship had to anchor off the pier and free people going through tenders, which means there will be a bottleneck along the nave. This can be a big pain, especially if the boat is one of the plotters super lines must lay up to 3,000 passengers. In addition, the roughness Wind and water can interfere with market activities and may even cause the ship to the truth does not remain in port.

Brief

For many cruises, you do not really care about all these factors. No problem. But pay attention to those who are important to you. Whether booking through a travel agent or directly with the cruise line, ask about issues that are important to you and make sure you can see the scores online bulletin boards and factual information.

Happy cruising!
