TRAVEL TIPS

When on a cruise

Travelling by sea can be an exciting experience. Here’s how you should go about it.

l One of your best friends on the cruise will be your Cabin Steward. He will do an excellent job of making up your cabin taking care of you. This person will also handle any special requests you have, like an extra pillow, etc. Get to know the steward on the very first day, and make your journey extra comfortable.

l One way to obtain a cheap cruise is to go on a repositioning cruise. Here, the cruise line sends the ships from one location at the end of the cruising season, to another for the start of another cruising season. It is a great way to get a one-way sailing opportunity at a discount, because the cruise lines don’t want to send the ship back empty. The downside is that the cruise is only one-way.

l Cruise ships can accommodate wheelchair users, diabetics, dialysis patients, oxygen users, the visually and the hearing impaired.

l You are sure to find an overwhelming display of information and photographs. What you need to look for are special offers, deck plans, fares, hotel accommodations and terms and conditions and cruise line contact.
