Now that we have uncovered all the “sinful” behaviors [link to seven sins] many cruisers indulge in during their vacations, here are some tips on how to have a good time, while keeping those sins at the dock. This post will tell you how to avoid each “sin,” but of course it’s your vacation, so don’t do anything that wouldn’t make you happy.
Many people are wary about spending their favorite holiday away from home. Traveling during Christmas, New Years or Thanksgiving can mean missing out on your favorite traditions, but that doesn’t have to be the case. This Thanksgiving my family decided to break from tradition. Instead of traveling to someone’s house and sitting down for a home cooked meal, we decided to forgo the hassles of driving and cooking. We took a cruise to the Bahamas.
Once we had decided that the topic for this month’s newsletter would be Celebrating at Sea, I began to think about our cruise consultants as they talk with clients about cruising plans and the stories and pictures that come back to us after our clients cruise. I had a revelation – cruising is always a celebration at sea. Let me break down my thought process for you.
Sitting at your desk, overwhelmed with work, sometimes just a quick glance at a picture of a beach can wash away the stress. Just as pictures can act as an immediate reminder of good times and good people, souvenirs or keepsakes from vacations past can serve as reminders of the destination, the fun of the vacation or just the spirit of the locals.
Black Friday is the day to get the best deals in America, but overseas you have an opportunity to get great bargains on authentic local products at markets and bazaars. But you have to be prepared to negotiate.
I love to find a good deal, whether I’m at home or far, far away on a vacation, I’ve always got my eye out for a bargain. If you can go toe-to-toe with a shop owner negotiating on a cherished souvenir, you not only come away with a great purchase, but a great story to tell when you get home.
If you are at all familiar with cruising you should know that sea days are far from boring. Cruise ships sailing the world’s oceans and rivers have many attractions onboard to keep you and your travel companions entertained. They also feature a vast array of enrichment experiences. Ships offer traditional lectures on art, history, politics and culture, but they also let you dive deeper – creating gourmet meals in their kitchens, learning acupuncture techniques in the spa and even teaching you how to get down with ballroom and latin dance classes.
While you may think a day at the beach is purely a time to relax and lie out, our staff at The Cruise Web knows that a trip to the beach can be a thrilling adventure. Find out all the fun activities that await you on your next beach day.
Ever since I was a young child, I grew up fascinated by both water and world travel, this is why I chose to work at The Cruise Web. It all started when I took my first leap in a pool. I was 4 years old and at a pool party. There were a ton of other children, the sun was blazing hot and the water perfectly cool; the kids were swimming and they looked like they were having so much fun.
