Interesting 5 Tips that First-Timer Cruisers Need to Know
First-time cruisers sometimes confuse about choosing the destination
for neither cruising nor they aware about the hidden costs in the
cruise. So this cruising tip should help them to prepare about what
they need to know before they go for cruising:
1. Book early or late
You will get better deal by booking well in advance of your sailing
date or at the last minute. Booking early in advance can save you
between 15 to 50 percent and also lock in the cabin category of your
choice. If you rather wait to book at the last minute, you will even
get a better discount on a ship's unsold cabin. But of course you
will not be able to choose the cabin that you like, whatever is left is
available.
2. Drive rather than fly
You could save a lot if you just drive to the nearest port in the city
rather than you fly. Nowadays there are more cruises than ever before
departing from "close-to home" ports such as Boston, New York, Bayonne(New Jersey), Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston, Jacksonville,Tampa, New Orleans, Mobile, Galveston, Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Francisco and Seattle.
3. Take a short cruise first
If you are a first-timer cruiser, it is better for you to take
short-cruise 3 to 4 days on the weekend. In this case, you will be
able to "test the water" before you jump-in to the real cruise. There is a good selection of ships sailing on short cruises to various destinations in the Caribbean, as well as along the Mexican Rivieraand to New England/Canada.
4.
Beware of added charges
You have to be prepared for added charges when you are on a cruise.
Expenses such as playing in the casinos, alcoholic beverages to photos
snapped by the ship's ubiquitous are not included in your cruise
fare.
So, travel-smart by preparing your budget in advance when you are
going on a cruise. If you must buy something, wait until the final day
of the cruise--most of the stores will throw a sale then.
5. From ship to shore- savings on excursions
Perhaps the largest additional cost are escorted shore excursions
offered in every port of call ranging in price from $25 per person for
a tour by motor coach to as much as $300 for helicopter flight-seeing.
For two couples, it is less expensive to hire a cab or rent a car for
a day than for each person to join an organized excursion. Also there
is no requirement to leave the ship when in port. Some passengers
prefer to relax on board and lounge by the pool as the ship is much
less crowded after most people have gone ashore. Shore excursions make
the most sense when few attractions are within walking distance and
local means of transportation are scarce.
Hope that this tip will be helpful for those first-timer cruiser. Bon
Voyage!!
