Cruises are a type of holiday that I've done a lot of over the last few years. A lot of people ask me why do I like doing so many cruises and whether or not they should do one. They are not the type of holiday for everyone as we all like to have different types of holidays.
Why should you book a cruise?
The best thing about doing a cruise is waking up in a new destination every morning as well as being able to see some of the beautiful scenery as you sail in to some ports such as Lisbon, Portugal. Cruises allow you to visit places that you would not normally think about going to for a holiday or short break such as Gibraltar. They also allow you to get a taste of a place that you may then decide to go back to another time for a short break which is something I've done previously. When at ports cruise companies offer excursions which go to places that you would more than likely not go to if you went to that port of call for a short break or holiday.
A good thing about doing a cruise is that all your food and entertainment is in one place and you don't have the trouble of having to find somewhere to go for food. The entertainment on cruise ships a lot of the time cater for a wide range of age groups and interests. When paying for your cruise it includes the cost of food, entertainment and accommodation although sometimes cruise companies will have an offer on which will includes so this means that the only extra money that you need for your holiday is what you want to spend when you are ashore. On previous cruises I have found that you are able to enjoy foods that you would not normally find in restaurants and that you are able to try a lot more new dishes.
If you are looking for a new experience when it comes to travelling then I would recommend a cruise. A cruise can also be very relaxing as you spend a day at sea which I find to be a calming day as you get used to the ship that you are on.
Why shouldn't you book a cruise?
If you are someone who doesn't like to be just in one place of an evening whilst on holiday then a cruise would not be for you as there will only be a couple of bars for you to be able to go. Also you are restricted as to what you are able to do of an evening as some cruise companies only have a small number of activities of an evening.
Some people like to be able to spend a couple of days at a destination this is not the case when doing a cruise as you will only get between 6-12 hours in a port, it varies for each port as to how long you will have at the port. When doing a cruise you need to be prepared for having a limited amount of time at your port.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
