With the help of our travelers and expertise of our travel specialists, we have compiled a list of cruising tips and have segmented our most popular cruise lines, helping you start on the right track to a personalized vacation experience with Fox World Travel.
Tips from some of our Facebook Fans:
- Spend the extra money on a balcony, and take advantage of the great shore excursions!!!
- Take advantage of the refillable soda cup deals when you get on board. They save you quite a bit of money over the course of your cruise and you may as well start using them right away.
- Go on some of the more unique shore excursions. The memories will be worth the initial cost.
- Take advantage of the laundry service they offer. Then you don't have to pack so much. I think the cruises we were on offered $10 for a laundry bag twice during the week. I packed it full rolled everything in to tight rolls! and then I had less wash when I got back. Definitely worth it.
- The new trend in cruising is being able to eat whenever you want. If you are planning on this type of dining plan, keep in mind that you may end up waiting for long periods of time before being seated and served like at a very busy restaurant. To avoid the crowds, go to the dining room a bit earlier or later than normal dinner hours. Or skip it all together and go to the buffet!
- Make sure to take advantage of the themed menu nights when the dining room will serve meals from the region you are sailing through at that time.
