Cruise-Travel-Vacations: Planning Your First Cruise

Who is going on the cruise?

This should be the easiest question, so let's start with it. All age groups are welcome and planned for. You will be able to find a cruise that will give any age group from toddler to great grandmother a memorable vacation. Friends of mine with teenagers often say they have found it to be the best family vacation yet. If you don't have kids or don't want to be around them while on vacation, there are some cruise ships that are adult only.

How much are you prepared to spend?

I'll discuss minimums here. There are NO maximums. There used to be a "rule of thumb" that you needed to budget about $100/day/person (exclusive of airfare). That rule still seems fairly reasonable. You can decrease that some by shopping around or by (1) having more than two persons per cabin, (2) being conservative and booking early [more than six months in advance], (3) being a risk-taker and booking late [less than 2 months in advance]. The minimum price on a "mainstream" cruise line seems to average about $500 per week.

How long is your vacation?

If you have less than a week, you are probably restricted to the Bahamas, Mexico, or a "cruise to nowhere". A week's vacation will open up the Caribbean to you, and depending on where you live you can even get to Europe, Hawaii, or the South Pacific. If you can squeeze out ten days to two weeks, you will have many more options.

Here are some tips:

*Do some of your own cruise research by writing to cruise lines for their literature and by surfing on the Internet to cruise web sites, but depend on your local travel agent to make your booking. Almost all cruise bookings (about 95 percent) are through travel agents. An agent's expertise can be crucial in getting you a good fly-cruise combination.

*Coordinate your evening dining time selection (usually there is an early and a late seating) with your planned shore excursions and general preference. You usually dine at the same table for the duration of the cruise.

*If you plan to buy "duty free" items, especially major purchases, check out what their prices are locally, in your hometown, before going. Duty free may be an illusion compared to your local discount shopping prospects. Generally, you will be able to return with $400 in duty free goods, paying 10 percent on the next $1000 of goods, though there are individual country and commodity preferences.

*Tipping policy will vary with the cruise line. For example, Holland America has a "no tipping required" policy. Other companies will specify the range of people not to forget, starting with your room steward and dining room waiter. Expect total tipping to run about $15 per day per person.

If you're looking for a carefree vacation with excellent cuisine, consider a cruise vacation. The large number of repeat customers (about 84 per cent) in cruise travel suggests that many travel consumers enjoy what they have experienced.
