- Guiding The Way In Faith-based Vacations By : Stacey Moore
According to a recent study by Baylor University, more than 90 percent of Americans say they believe in God or a higher power, which to many means that most people in the U.S. have a desire for spirituality in the everyday. While these individuals celebrate personal beliefs in their own way, many are turning to faith-based travel as a new and unique opportunity for enlightenment.
Today, more than 600,000 Americans travel overseas each year for religious purposes and 50,000 churches play host to travel programs. From pilgrimages that trace the paths of important religious figures to tours of some of the world's most remarkable places of worship, faith-based vacations offer travelers a life-changing and awe-inspiring cultural experience. - Tips For Taking A Wonderful Caribbean Cruise By : Gabriel Adams -
Taking a Caribbean cruise is one of the most amazing experiences you could ever have in your life. If you’ve never been, move it to the top of your priority list. The beauty, the culture, and the environment are unmatched. Once you decide to go, you must begin planning. This part of the process can seem overwhelming. Where should you start? Where should you go? How much should you spend? These are all valid questions that must be answered. Let’s look at this more in depth.
In the past, planning a Caribbean cruise was somewhat difficult. You had to call a travel agent, go through multiple scenarios over the phone or in person until you found something that met your budget. You may not have even liked your travel agent and this added to your displeasure. Now, this has all changed. You can sit at home with your family and basically be your own travel agent. As long as you have a computer and the Internet, the possibilities are endless. It is not nearly as overwhelming as it may seem. - Boomers Seek In-depth Cultural Exploration By : Stacey Moore
A recent survey by Greenfield Online, Inc., a leading research company, shows that 87 percent of Americans 55 years or older who travel internationally say it is important to experience the local cultures of their vacation destinations. Whether travelers are tasting traditional cuisines or learning about regional pastimes, these activities allow for a deeper understanding of places they visit.
Today, travelers are also eager to visit multiple destinations during one vacation. Cruising is a great way to discover an entire region--but cruise trips don't have to be all about the ship. In fact, almost 90 percent of cruisers say that on-land experiences are either more important or equally important to onboard experiences. - Cruising For Romance By : Stacey Moore
Cruises are among the most popular romantic vacations for Americans. In fact, couples account for more than 79 percent of all cruisers who typically go for six or more days, spending an average of $1,690, not including airfare, according to Cruise Lines International Association.
That "sweetheart" deal can turn sour, however, if couples do not research and prepare to make sure everything goes smoothly at sea. Travel insurance is a good way to avoid common travel problems, according to one expert. - Is River Cruising Right For You? By : Stacey Moore
River cruising continues to be a popular trend among American travelers vacationing to top destinations such as Europe, China and Egypt, but is it right for you? If cruising along a waterway, taking in beautiful landscapes and docking at multiple ports to explore exciting destinations sounds appealing, a river cruise may be the perfect fit for you.
Travel experts suggest you ask the following questions to help determine whether a river cruise is the best choice for your next vacation: - Booking A Cruise By : Stacey Moore
Before you set sail on a cruise vacation, it may help to heed a few tips from the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) to help ensure your vacation dreams stay afloat:
• Find out what documentation you need. Most international travel, now or soon, will require a valid passport, so it's important to plan ahead.

Curvy women with catwalk dreams now have the chance to strut their stuff on an exotic cruise to the Western Caribbean. Called the Figure at Sea cruise, the trip offers plus-size passengers a variety of entertainment and life-enriching activities-and the opportunity to look and feel like a model.

These days there are lots of different types of cruises that you can go on. The television is littered with commercials for everything from family cruises to adventure cruises to celebrity cruises and everything in between. There are so many different types of cruises to choose from, that the special features are just as integral to the trip as the cruise itself. From Disney family cruises to safari trips to celebrity comfort, there is a special adventure from everyone, man or woman from infancy to one hundred and one. Below are outlined just a couple of these different types of cruises and what they have to offer.
American Safari Cruises offer five different adventure destinations: the pacific northwest, Alaskan wilderness, Columbia and Snake rivers, Mexico’s sea of Cortes, and California wine country. These five different trips combine the luxurious on ship experience with rugged outdoor adventures to cater to the different sides of personality in all of us. These are small, focused tour groups, and the three ships in the fleet carry only from twelve to twenty one passengers each. This provides for an in depth, attentive and community building experience for all. Whether you are relaxing and sipping wine in Napa or trekking the same path that Lewis and Clarke took, you will be able to test your personal comfort level without having to give up any personal comforts. - Taking A Cruise: Hurricane Season In The Atlantic By : Kirsten Hawkins
Hurricane season can be a rather tricky time for summer travelers. Kids are home from college, the younger kids are out of school, mom and dad are taking time off of work and the family want to take a vacation. Wait...what about hurricanes? The official hurricane season in the Atlantic begins June 1 and extends until November 30, encompassing the entire summer season in the Caribbean.
In 1998 the Phantom, a ship on the Windjammer cruise line lost its ship and all of the crew members after it sailed off into sea to avoid a hurricane. In trying to avoid the hurricane, they ran straight into the storm. Thankfully, the passengers had all been dropped off safely on the shore, but the captain and crew of the ship were not so lucky. This is a wake up call to all of those out there who think that cruise liners are unsinkable--obviously, they are not. A year later a Carnival cruise liner experienced some problems during a hurricane, but fortunately the ship, crew, and all the passengers made it out of the storm in one piece. - What Is A Repositioning Cruise? By : Kirsten Hawkins
What is a repositioning cruise, and why would you want to go on one? Well, you might not want to, but there are many reasons why you would or would not want to embark on such a journey. A repositioning cruise is a little bit different from a normal cruise for a couple of reasons. Below is outlined some of the ways that it is different from a regular cruise and how this works for and against you and your travel needs.
(1) A repositioning cruise leaves one port and arrives in another. That is, a repositioning cruise does not return to the port from which it departed. This is because of the changing climates of the water. So, like birds, cruise ships relocate north or south depending on the season. This often takes a number of days and a lot of resources, so instead of relocating the ships sans passengers, the cruise lines offer “repositioning” cruises at a deeply discounted price. - Take Two On Cruise Travel Tips By : Kirsten Hawkins
Pay attention to the advice from frequent cruise travelers. They have seen it all and have the stories to tell. Using their guidance can make things a bit easier for an inexperienced cruiser. After all, no one wants any “surprises” to put a damper on your cruise enjoyment.
Got Your Paperwork? - Taking A Cruise: Make It A Family Affair By : Kirsten Hawkins
This past year, more than one million youngsters under the age of 18 years old sailed on Cruise Lines International Association ships. Young people make up a large portion of your fellow passengers when you take a cruise ship vacation. Kids on vacation period, especially if they are not your own, can really can drag down on the fun.
Of course, you probably want to take the kids along with you on your vacation. They can add to the fun if you take care of things right, and cruises are a great time to spend time with your children, especially if you work or go to school and so do they. Keep in mind though that if you were on a child-free vacation you wouldn't want somebody else's children running amok, being loud or rowdy, ruining the fun of those who aren't involved in their rowdiness. Have enough respect for your fellow passengers/cruisers, as well as the ship's crew, to keep your children under control. - Taking A Cruise: Getting Out Of The Lower Deck Cabins By : Kirsten Hawkins
Taking a cruise for the first time can be one of the most exciting ventures you may take upon yourself. Cruises are a great time for fun, family, laughter and a care free lifestyle, but first-time cruisers are not advised to rush into the cruising thing very quickly. You may find yourself disappointed on a lot of levels.
The location of your cabin or sleeping quarters on the ship are a large part of whether or not you will enjoy yourself on your stay on the ship. It's hard to have a cabin on the lower level of the ship under a veranda or walkway because people are constantly walking overhead, but if you have a cabin on sea level, you may have people outside your door at all times of the night. Having a cabin or state room under sea level can have its financial advantages, but sacrificing your cruising fun to save a little money may not be worth the extra dollars in your pocket if you are unhappy with your space. At that, state rooms are usually final after the cruise ship has 'set sail.' - Take A Cruise: Have Your Dream Wedding On Board A Luxury Cruise Liner By : Kirsten Hawkins
Weddings can be both the most exciting and stressful times of a person's life. Sure it is certainly fun to design wedding invitations, plan your reception and pick colors for your ceremony and bridesmaid's dresses. On the flip side, the woes of budgeting for a wedding, hiring a minister, hiring a caterer, and securing entertainment can be just as stressful as the fun parts can be enjoyable.
For those who are trying to produce a wedding, a wedding reception, and a honeymoon on a limited budget, there may be one option that you have not yet explored. Getting married on board a cruise ship is a classy yet relatively inexpensive option for your wedding. Most cruise lines carry their very own wedding planner who can put together an entire wedding, minister (or the cruise ship version of one) reception, catering, and all. Wedding planners, even for small weddings, can cost upwards of a few thousand dollars but you can secure a low cost, thoughtful and memorable wedding on board a luxury cruise liner for less than a thousand dollars if you are lucky. This is on top of the costs of traveling on the ship for the duration of the cruise as well. Of course this is not the most extravagant wedding, and obviously you get what you pay for so the more money you put into your luxury cruise liner wedding, the fancier it will turn out to be. - Steps For A Safe Cruise By : Kirsten Hawkins
Keep your dream vacation from turning into anything but. When you're going on a cruise, whether it's a family vacation, a honeymoon, or just some time away, use a little common sense to keep yourself and your valuables safe.
Victims of theft aboard cruise ships can run into yards and yards of red tape attempting to prosecute the responsible parties. First of all, most cruise ships require attendees to sign a waiver, keeping the cruise line from being held liable for crimes that occur on board. Secondly, many cruise ships are registered in foreign countries, while passengers (including the criminals) are from various locales. Meanwhile, the ship is sailing in water owned by still another jurisdiction. This often puts the area of responsibility into, well, murky waters. Finally, once passengers leave the cruise ship, it is virtually impossible to trace your stolen belongings. Where they end up is anyone's guess. - Healthy Cruise Travel Tips By : Kirsten Hawkins
Taking the advice of well-traveled cruisers is the best thing for first time cruise passengers to do. After all, why not learn from someone else’s mistakes or mishaps? Of course, you will still have a few of your own, but that is what makes your first cruising experience memorable.
You’ve got your cruise booked and are counting the days until you set sail. However, there are a few things for you to do before you even start to think about packing. Check with the cruise line to see what vaccinations, if any, are needed for your journey. You’ll have to make a trip to your doctor to get current on any shots. - Been There, Done That – Cruising Tips From Seasoned Travelers By : Kirsten Hawkins
If you are cruising for the first time – congratulations! You are in for a unique, worthwhile experience. As a newbie, though, you probably have questions about some of the do’s and don’ts of traveling aboard a cruise ship. Luckily, there are many die-hard cruisers who are happy to share some tips to make your first time more rewarding.
Before You Leave Home: - Common Courtesy In Cruising By : Kirsten Hawkins
You don’t need a Miss Manners at sea to know there are some basic, common sense rules of etiquette for cruising. No, there is no handbook on it, but the key words here are “common sense.” For some less thoughtful folks onboard, taking a vacation means taking a break from using their brains.
Picture a cruise ship like a floating village or small town at sea. As with any unfamiliar place you go to, you should get to know the lay of the land, so to speak. No one is going to be just like you; people from all over the world, from different cultures and religions are sharing the same floating space as you are. Everyone should learn how to live in harmony for this short stay so that all of you will have the best vacation possible. - Can Kids Cruise Too? By : Kirsten Hawkins
What is the best way to travel with your kids to exotic or unusual destinations without dealing with multiple plane rides and dragging luggage day after day? Go on a cruise! Kids can definitely cruise, especially these days. Kids are big business and cruise lines, more and more, are catering to the younger crowd.
Research the various cruise lines. Ask your local travel agent for ideas. Many cruise ships allow children, but may not necessarily cater to their needs and interests. The great thing about cruises is that families can hang out, spend some quality time together and do a ton of activities all in one spot. It’s a relatively stress-free time because the kids can’t wander off … you know they are somewhere on the ship. - Book A Cruise For Less By : Kirsten Hawkins
So you’ve always wanted to take a dream cruise vacation. Maybe it’s one of those things that wound up on the back burner, but you’ve started to believe that you just won’t be able to save up the money to take yourself and the spouse, or the whole family, on such a trip. Think again.

With more vacationers taking to the seas cruise lines are growing larger and can afford to offer special discounts to customers to get more people hooked on this luxury style of vacationing. Those looking for a cruise vacation can make a few smart decisions and save themselves a lot of cash without much sacrifice. - Cabin Pressure – Which One For Your Cruise? By : Kirsten Hawkins
For three, five, seven or however many days, the ship’s cabin will be your second home. Depending on your plans for rest and relaxation, you might want to give some thought to your choice of cabins. If you plan to be on the go, go, go and partake of all the ship has to offer, then pay for the cheapest cabin rate. After all, you will only be in your cabin to sleep and change your clothes. However, if you need to be alone and plan to huddle in your cabin at times, reconsider your options.
All cruise cabins are created for comfort with a sensible design where you can move with ease. Nonetheless, all cruise cabins are not the same. Your normal, average cruise ship cabin is going to be smaller that what you would find at some landlocked hotel. To compensate for the size, cruise lines spoil the passengers with mints on their pillows, shampoos, bath gel, fluffy robes and other amenities. - European Cruising A Great Value! By : Abigail Franks

About 60 days before the departure of a ship is the best time to look for a discount. This is the last day when people cancel their reservation penalty free. It is a great opportunity for you to buy a ticket, because the cruise company will offer great discount on these leftover places. You'll be more likely to find a cruise discount off-season.

It was probably because it was a less expensive mode of travel as compared to air travel. - Choose A Cruise That Best Suits You By : Johnathan Bakers

When most of us think of the words cruise ship, we envision the Love Boat or the Titanic. Well, not all the time, but often that's the first thing that comes to mind. Actually, a cruise ship doesn't have to be that big, and many countries have their own cruise ship lines. A cruise ship is also called a luxury ship, but that doesn't mean that only rich people can sail on her. You may not find Gopher or Doc on board, but a cruise ship offers a unique way to travel at a slower pace so that you get to know your fellow passengers and are able to intermingle at various venues provided by cruise ship activity and entertainment directors. Airline or train travel doesn't allow for such pleasures, nor does driving.

Cruises are currently in the middle of a big resurgence in popularity. For a few years, it seemed like cruises might have been killed off by an age of ever-faster trains and cheap flights, but something about the romance and the luxury of the experience has managed to keep them alive. For most cruisers today, the cruise is no longer about a way to travel in style from one place to another – instead, it’s all about enjoying your time on the boat itself, living the sea life and relaxing on the ocean waves.
