Cruise FAQ

Some of the most frequently asked questions about Cruises …….

1. I have never been on a cruise before! What Cruise is right for me?
Well, that really depends. If you have kids (or are just young at heart) you can’t go wrong with a 3-4 Night Disney Cruise. It doesn’t really matter what Cruise LINE you go on, however it is smart if you start out with a 3- 4 night cruise, then, if you really like it you can schedule another one while your onboard and save some $(on some cruise lines).

2. Whats the best Cruise Line?
Unfortunatley, I do not know seeing as I haven’t been on every single Cruise Line. But be a risk taker and try out as many as you can! I do recommend the Disney Cruise though . However, I have heard both Carnival and Norwegian are rather good too.

3. Kids activities? Are they any good?

Well, I can’t speak for everyone but I for one DO NOT enjoy being stuck at a Kids center. ( the only one I have ever been to is the Disney Cruise’s) But many kids I have been around have enjoyed it. Just a word to the wise here but, I strongly recommend not forcing your HS and/or MS child to stay in a kids center, even if they are able to sign themselves out. Trust me, you and his/her siblings will not like listening to him/her begging you not to go.

4. Letting my child roam the ship alone? Insane or Reasonable?
It really depends on your child’s maturity level and age. I think the reasonable age range is 11-and up. However, your child needs to understand roaming the ship is a privilege and they need to respect your boundaries and rules. Plus, they need to be responsible and if roaming with younger / less mature children those children need to understand who is in charge. Tip: I do not think it is prudent to let your child "roam" when you’re docked at a port, especially a strange foregien country.

5. What do I pack??????
Well if you are going on a 3 night cruise don’t pack for a 7 night . Meaning don’t pack more than you need. Here are some basic things to pack..
*Razors/Toothbrushes/Floss/HairBrushes and Combs/ Toothpaste/ Hair accessories
* Aloe Vera/ Sunscreen/ Sunglasses/ Cameras/ Sun Hats
* Clothes : Nice- skirts, dresses, button downs, polos,slacks, jeans, high heels and or flats and sandals, men’s dress shoes, and shirts. Casual- skirts, dresses, shorts/capris, crocs, flip flops, tennis shoes, flats, t-shirts, and polos. (jeans are optinial)
* Make-up, perfume, cologne, DEODRANT, ect.
