Your Cruise Ship Is Your Lodging

Planning your annual vacation, or possibly your first vacation

, is very exciting, but can also be stressful. You've read about so many travel destinations and spoke with friends that have been many places. You've never really been a tourist, so it's tough to decide where to go. From everything you've read so far, a cruise sounds the most exciting. When thinking of a cruise, so many exotic and faraway places come to mind. Many of them have high prices as well, but there are cruises that are very affordable. Make sure the cruise you choose offers what will provide the most enjoyment for your family.

Some will go to a many different destinations in one cruise. Others, on the other hand, will just sail to a specific destination, turn around and come back to the city where you started from Florence, Italy to Miami, Florida. Sound boring? It's far from boring. Besides not having to worry about lodging like you do on a typical vacation, modern day cruises have so many activities right on board. You will never be bored, regardless of your individual interests. Whereas at one time, cruise ships were considered a hotel on the water, they are now like a city on the water.

What makes them even nicer than vacationing in a specific city is you don't have to worry about getting lost in a strange city while trying to find attractions and activities to do. While the men are playing tennis or bowling, the women can go shopping in the ship's huge shopping malls-or their individual boutiques. You can shop without the added concern over extra tax being charges. Some restrictions may apply, but the shopping is usually quite reasonable.

At one time, shopping on cruises was quite expensive and only the wealthy frequented their shops regularly. With cruises growing in popularity, they've made their prices more competitive. You can find a lot of neat little shops with great bargains. Restaurants are also something to write home about. You can shop, stop and eat and shop so more.

The men and kids will never be at a loss for activities. A day at the golf course will satisfy most men. I bet the kids never dreamed they'd by rock climbing while on their cruise. Of course, there will be someone challenging you to shuffleboard, a very popular cruise activity. There are some experts aboard, however. So don't talk too much smack.

Eating used to be the main topic when people were on cruises, because there was so little to do. This is definitely not the case anymore. Although, there are many excellent restaurants on cruises, with different cuisine all the time. But, eating will not be the thing that takes up all your time. You will be busy having a good time and trying to get as much in as you can before each day ends.
