When thinking about ocean cruising some initial concerns may be about budget, seasickness, and large crowds. You should know that there is a cruise for every budget. From interior staterooms to ocean-view cabins and luxurious suites, there’s always a choice that can fit into your finances. For those worried about seasickness, ocean cruises are usually large ships that significantly minimize the feeling of motion. This allows for a smoother ride for those who are sensitive. As a precaution, you can research and purchase over-the-counter remedies for seasickness or talk to a medical professional before your trip.
When it comes to the concern about large crowds, there is no denying this, particularly when talking about the mega ships. However, various cruise lines do a good job of keeping everyone entertained and moving around to minimize the feeling of being crowded. If this is a huge concern of yours but you like the other perks of cruising, we encourage you to schedule a complimentary consultation with us to see if we can find you a suitable cruising option.
Common Misconceptions, Let’s Chat About It
Now, to the misconceptions. We have heard it all: “Cruises only cater to seniors”, “They server terrible food”, “They are boring, especially on the days at sea”. Let’s bust these one at a time.
One, most cruise lines today are very family-friendly and you will find passengers of all ages onboard. While some cruise lines cater to certain age groups more than others, we can assist you with choosing the right brand.
Two, the food onboard is diverse and there are endless dining options. Yes, some cruise lines do prepare better food than others, but in general, the vast culinary experience is not too shabby. Even the pickiest of eaters can find something they enjoy. Also, most cruise lines typically have specialty dining restaurants like steakhouses that are really good.
Third, if you are worried that cruising may be boring, especially during days at sea, that belief is far from true. Cruises have lots of activities from spa indulgences to entertainment and leisure activities. Everyone can find something to fill their time, regardless of age or interest.
If you still have reservations about ocean cruising, discussing your concerns with a travel advisor can provide clarity and just might convince you to set sail on your next adventure. Schedule a complimentary consultation with us or send us a message and get your questions answered!
