FAQ
When should I book my cruise?
It depends on where you are travelling to. It is generally better to book your cruise before you travel because it gives you more flexibility with dates. A cruise could be planned around summer months in Europe, for instance. On the other hand, if you are going to Asia or South America, you might want to book your cruise later to avoid high season prices.
What tip do I have to give my Cruise Director?
It varies from one cruise line to the next. Some cruise directors get tips, while others do not. When you board the cruise ship, ask your Cruise Director if they need tips. They will typically tell you how much they expect tips.
What is the cost of a cruise vacation?
One person can cruise for $1,000 plus taxes and fees. A family of four will pay $4,200 on average. This includes all meals and drinks, entertainment, activities as well gratuities.
Is there anything negative about cruising?
Consider these things when weighing the pros and disadvantages of cruising. Some people may not wish to spend their whole vacation on a boat. Others may prefer to stay near shore or in hotels.
