Cruise-Travel-Vacations: When to Eat and How to Get There

Many times I have found it is much easier to let the cruise line book your flight. The "fly-cruise" price will usually include transfers to and from the airport to the ship which can sometimes be a problem.

In addition, the cruise line will usually transfer your luggage directly to your cabin. For cruisers who over-pack (you know who you are!), this can be a big help. The other reason it is a good idea to let the cruise line take care of your flight is that SOMETIMES the ship will be held up for late arriving flights.

If you are on a cruise line-booked flight, there will probably be other cruisers on your plane. The more of you who are "in the same boat", the more likely the ship's departure will be delayed if your flight is late arriving.

If you do choose to use frequent-flyer miles for a flight or want to book independently, you might want to get to the departure city a day early to avoid the stress of worrying about flight problems, whether they be weather or mechanical. You don't want to be left behind.

Sit down with your traveling companions and discuss these ten questions. Once you have a general idea of your answers, this should enable you to focus your cruise line/cruise ship selection.

Have a great trip and Bon Voyage!
