1 Select the boat you want, and not only the route. This is a common mistake, the first holiday cruise, looking almost exclusively destinations visited while vessel type is crucial, as they determine the mood and atmosphere of the trip. If you are the peace, the kind of love to read, relax on the decks etc .... and you choose one with a lively party atmosphere for 7 days ship ... you will be unhappy! So take the time to inform you about the cruise lines and various boats.
2 Book early! There are two ways a good price for a cruise get: book early or last minute. The big difference is that booking early you can choose cabin, but also the choice of the ship. So-called early booking is usually 3-6 months in advance and discounts around 30-50% are published on the prices in the form of leaflets.
3 Range Select the best cabin you can afford! Many mistakenly think that the choice of cabin matter because we spend little time inside, but you need to consider some important questions still: a windowless cabin includes complete darkness 24/24, the bed type should also be considered to have several cabins Single beds that you have some stick but ships (older) beds are fixed impossible to move towards the floor. Most cabins have a small shower tray, so that when you take a bath is important not to forget that. In making your choice of cabin category Finally, if you can afford it, pay the luxury of a balcony cabin, not only romantic and private side to admire the different landscapes before you pass every day you like, but you can open leave the doors and fall asleep to the waves in the night ....
4 Do not forget to make a list of things to bring with you while traveling: delivery of movies, batteries, sunscreen, shampoo, chips, etc .... favorite chocolate, because the ship all of these products very are much more expensive, and the choice is often limited.
5 Always consider the possibility that your luggage is lost or delayed, not that this unfortunate event does not interfere too soon your trip, remember to use your hand luggage as an emergency. Slide it is a bathing suit, shorts, T-shirt, underwear, and of course all drugs. Finally, take a travel insurance that covers the loss, delay or damage to baggage, you never know when it comes to serve in the position you.
6 Avoid the lines: if it trips (the list will usually contain in your travel documents) that you want to do necessarily, do not hesitate in order to book prior to departure (on most cruise lines) and avoid the race when registering once on board. For reservations for spa treatments or specialty restaurants, make the first day on the boat, to not lose too much time and have more chance of the hours and days that suit you.
7 How to save on travel? Take time to read the description to decide whether the price is worth the output. Opt for trips out of the ordinary like a helicopter tour, canopy, swim with dolphins etc .... Another suggestion: to see if other people on the boat be interested in visiting the same journey as you, for example, would you a location / attraction / village; You could then take a taxi and rent ing instead She agreed and so separate the transport costs. Important If you go by yourself, you should to ship on time back, because if you miss it ... it's all at your expense!
8 Do not forget to mention if it's a major event to your agent: honeymoon, anniversary, birthday etc .... Many cruise lines have special packages and small planned for this idea precious moments so much fun!
9 Tips: Always be at your discretion and you should never feel obliged to give a certain amount. Your travel documents are an example blade tip could be placed at the end of the cruise. In general, we first consider the server space, the proposed suiteur and / in the cabin. If someone has an exemplary service during the cruise do not hesitate to point out.
10 pairs, but never alone? Either at the time of booking or at the time of registration you will be asked to choose (again on some cruise lines), whether you prefer the first or second service restaurants: Take time to "give special" each request type of allergies, preferences table (on 4-6-8), etc. If you are on a honeymoon, you ask, if you have a table with two ... some quieter places for couples: the hot tub in the evening under the stars when the boat stops at a port stay ... on board ...
Happy cruising to all!
