Cruising Your Cares Away
... sometimes cheaper than a regular land vacation or an all-inclusive trip. The beautiful aspect about cruising is that their just isn’t one cruise line for everybody. Disney Cruise Line caters to the kids, but also has activities for the parents or adults with no kids. Carnival Cruise Line usually caters to party animals, as well as singles. Royal Caribbean Cruise Line caters to families and couples and gives a variety of things to do on their ships. Norwegian Cruise Lines caters to families as well, but they also cater to the retired, older crowd. Princess Cruise Lines caters to families and couples, but also cater to those who like to spend their vacation luxuriously. Whatever ship you decide, keep in mind that there are plenty to choose from and almost every boat has something for anybody in the family. Eating is just one of the many activities you do on a cruise. I say it is an activity because it is an event that can’t be passed up. When you wake up in the morning, you always have a sumptuous breakfast waiting for you in the dining rooms. Lunch is an event that leaves every person crawling to your stateroom because of all the food that is offered. And of course, dinner is not a 3 or 4 course meal, but it is a 5 course meal that includes cold and hot appetizers, salad, entrée, and then a dessert. Every bite is cherished because the food is so good. The food doesn’t stop after dinner. On a 5 day cruise or longer, two of those nights you have a midnight buffet. It will be a food buffet with little party finger foods such as tamales, tacos, egg rolls, hot dogs, hamburgers, and other snacks. And the other buffet is the “Chocoholic” buffet!!! Those exclamation points should give you an indication of how good that buffet is! You also get to dress up for dinner on Formal Night. That is a night where everybody looks stunning. Women are in their nice beautiful gowns and the men are in their nice suits or even a nice tuxedo. Each night on the ship there are a variety of shows to attend after you eat (if you are in the early seating) or before you eat (if you are in the late seating). These shows could be comedy shows, musicals, or even famous Broadway plays. And of course you can end the night on the ship by going to sleep after a long day (only a small number do that), or sitting out on the top deck of the ship, or partying the night away in one of the many nightclubs on the ship. Cruising lets you experience the beauty of islands. And you are not just cruising to one island but multiple islands. Islands such as Grand Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Belize, Roatan Honduras, Aruba, Jamaica, Barbados, Bermuda, Hawaii, Puerto Vallarta, Puerto Rico, and Cozumel to name a few. On these isla...
