The post Why You Should Cruise Instead Of Flying To Your Next Vacation appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>When flying, your vacation only begins once you’ve arrived at your destination. On cruises, however, the fun begins the moment you board the ship, with swimming pools, shopping, spas, and sightseeing already at your fingertips. This makes cruising a better use of your time.
Once you get to the airport, there is an array of security checks, passport control, and crowds to navigate, making for a stressful travel experience. By boarding a cruise ship, you no longer have to worry about such bureaucracy, allowing you to focus more on enjoying the journey.
On a cruise, you don’t have to plan what activities to do as your itinerary is already organized for you. In addition to planning which destinations to take you to, cruise companies also plan an array of fun activities on board, including kids’ clubs, sports, music concerts, and games such as bingo.

]]>Doing research before your cruise is definitely the most important tip that every experienced traveler will give you. Some ports are easier to navigate than others, but you still want to make sure to study these destinations in advance, because otherwise you’ll have no clue what to do when you arrive in a port.
The first day of the cruise is the most exciting and you definitely don’t want to spend it in your room scrolling through social media. Use this day to get to know the ship and explore restaurants, pools, kids activities, and more.
Packing for a cruise is a bit more challenging because you’ll probably need to prepare for different dress codes, but you still don’t want to overpack. What you pack in a suitcase will depend on the length of your stay, weather, and types of activities that are available on the cruise.

]]>While you might imagine that a cruise would always feature sunny and warm weather, this isn’t the case. The temperature can dip into “chilly” territory at night and there always seem to be a couple of pop-up rain showers too. Take a rain jacket and a sweatshirt or two!
Cruise ships are built to minimize the effects of the rocking of the ocean, but sometimes, the waves can have your stomach turning no matter how resistant the vessel is. Take Dramamine or another anti-nausea medicine with you in order to prevent spending time feeling sick.
A key part of any cruise is the excursions that you can make when the ship stops at any coastal port and gives you a day to explore. Many of these excursions, however, fill up quickly and might not be taken advantage of if you don’t plan ahead of time. Be sure to do so in order to make the best of these stops!
