Why a Cruise? A cruise ship is like a five star hotel with constantly changing views. There are cruises available for any budget. Visit 4 different countries in a week. No packing-unpacking-packing-unpacking-packing. A resort just sits there, but a cruise will move you. On some cruise ships, kids sail free! You don't need to make dinner reservations. For the health conscious, low calorie, low sodium and heart-healthy meals are available. Travel to over 1800 ports around the world. Cruising is like being on a floating island with lots of fun things to do. On a cruise ship, your luggage arrives in your room before you do. You don't have to bring a tuxedo. A nice shirt and dress pants is all that is required in the formal dining room. For men who do not want to wear a suit and tie, there is always the Lido deck for optional dining. Rejuvenate mind, body and spirit in the shipboard spa. Do everything, or nothing at all.
