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.

Cruise-Travel-Vacations: Planning Your First Cruise

When do you want to travel?

Cruises are usually a little cheaper in the spring or fall. Students of economics will know that this is entirely due to supply and demand. Kids are in school, and weather can sometimes be uncertain.

Winter used to be considered the only "high" season for tropical locations like the Caribbean. However, summertime costs are not far behind due to the large numbers of families with children, college students, and others who have "forced summer vacations" who must choose to cruise in the summer.

Of course, where you want to go (next question) also factors into this decision. Some locations have short cruising seasons. For example, if you are going to Alaska or northern Europe, you will have to cruise between May and September.

If you go at the beginning or end of the cruise season, you will save a little and avoid the crowds if either of these is your destination.
