Cruising Around the World
Celebrating a major holiday aboard a cruise ship might seem a little strange, until you start thinking through the benefits: no intense home preparation, no cooking deep into the night, no elaborate coordinating of schedules with relatives. In short, a holiday away takes the pressure off and lets you just enjoy the celebration while staffers do most of the work.

The best time to cruise and the cheapest time to cruise are not always the same. The best time to be on the water is often when the weather is nicest or when you have time off. These sailings are often the most popular, but “best” can quickly turn to “worst” when you face high prices and large crowds. The cheapest time to cruise is often when most travelers don’t want to go. Vacay, Vacation, Large Crowd, Good And Cheap, Have Time, Sailing, Cruise, Around The Worlds, Hey

As a longtime avoider of mega cruise ships, I had a lot of assumptions going into my first large-ship cruise. It would be crowded, I thought. I would be incapacitated by seasickness. My only dining choices would be sub-par buffets. Realizing I was floating on a raft of preconceptions before even leaving port, I spoke with some fellow cruise-ship avoiders to develop a list of common reasons people don’t cruise. Once on board, I set out to prove each of these cruise ship myths right or wrong. Sea Bands, Ship Map, How To Book A Cruise, Cruise Critic, Sea Sickness, Luxury Cruise, Shore Excursions, Cruise Ships

At the going prices, cruises can be extremely good deals. Whether a lower-deck inside stateroom or a top-deck suite, a cruise cabin itself is almost never a rip-off. That’s especially true when you track the many promotions you see advertised on information websites such as sister site Cruise Critic, on big online cruise-agency websites such as CruiseDirect and CruisesOnly, or even through good travel agents.
