Cruises Make Out To Be The Best Vacations

By Tricia Valenstine

There are many people that want to take a great vacation, something that they will remember for the rest of their lives, something great. If you want a vacation like this then you may want to consider taking a cruise on board of a cruise ship.

Specific cruise lines will have certain activities that may differ from others, just as a starter I will be going over the amenities that mostly all of major cruise lines offer with a couple of them varying in some cases.

If you like to travel then a cruise ship is the way to go. There are cruises that will stop at just about any big port that there is, so if you want to travel to a certain country there is more than likely a cruise ship that will go there.

As for activities that you can do while you are waiting for you destination, you could catch a tan on the sun deck next to the swimming pool. If you need to cool off just hop in, if you need your muscles relaxed you could hop in the spa or get a massage.

Fitness centers along with personal trainers are also very common on board a cruise ship. You would be surprised how many people take part in fitness while sailing across oceans and seas. Many of these fitness centers have cardio classes that you can choose to participate in also.

A big one that can be found on all major cruise lines except for Disney and a couple of others are casinos. Gambling is illegal in almost all of the United States, but once the cruise ship gets a certain distance out in the ocean, the casino will open, usually stay open 24 hours for those that want to test their luck.

You can also enjoy great dining, there are many different restaurants and eateries that are spread through cruise ships. So if you are on a 7 day cruise then you can expect to gain about 10 pounds or more, you might as well spoil yourself while you can.

If you are a night owl then you can enjoy clubs aboard a cruise ship, where you can find dancing and cocktails, if you are old enough of course. Every cruise ship will have some sort of activity, parade or show for the night people.

So if you want to go on a cruise for a specific activity, make sure that you call in advance and ask as many questions as possible. For instance if you want to go on a cruise to gamble, then Disney Cruise Lines would not be the right choice for you.
