Choosing a cruise ship is not an easy decision. On the one hand you have to weigh the cost of the excursion. On the other hand you have to think about whether the vacation will be worth the money you paid. After all, what good is finding a cruise deal for $200 when it’s full of loud obnoxious guests looking for a party when you’re looking for relaxation?
The first thing you need to do before you decide on a cruise is think about what you want out of the trip. There are different locations that tailor themselves more to fun in the sun. There are others that cater to seeing the sights. There are still others that combine trips to several different locations or countries.

ARRIVING IN PORT
When the ship arrives in port, it will either dock at the pier or anchor slightly offshore. You may think that when the ship docks right at the pier you can walk must be signed, and local authorities must give their clearance, a process that can take as long as 2 hours. Don’t bother going down to the gangplank until you hear an announcement saying the ship has been cleared.

If you like to get away during the winter months, but you’ve perhaps grown weary of the Caribbean or Mexico, there is a new cruise option on the horizon for you to consider. Cruising in Europe and the Mediterranean during the non-traditional time frame of December through April isn’t on most traveler’s radar, however this destination - at an atypical time of year - has been slowly gaining in popularity.
Some real positives to take into account -
Airfares to Europe are considerably lower during the winter time. It isn’t unusual to see consolidator or promotional roundtrip airfares of $300 to $500 per person

Alaska has been one of the most popular cruise destinations for many years, and for good reason. Throughout Southeast Alaska many of the sites and natural wonders are truly breathtaking, and there is no easier, or more relaxing way to visit them than by cruise ship.
Alaska has a very short cruise season, just 5 months, in which over 750,000 will visit our 49th state. Sometimes the towns along the way can get crowded, but there are always ways to escape the masses.

So you’ve got your cruise vacation booked and you’re looking forward to 10 days in the Med, 2 weeks in South America, or a week in Alaska.
Now you need to figure out what you’re going to do with your time in port. Typically you will only be in port for one day, and you want to experience the place the way you have dreamed of, without wasting time. For some, merely getting off the ship and wandering around is sufficient, or perhaps hiring a taxi to drive around for a few hours, and for others arranging land tours (also called shore excursions) via the cruise lines’ Shore Excursion Desk is the clear direction.

My wife and I go on a lot of cruises. It all started about 10 years ago when we got married. We honeymooned on the American Queen River Boat, a week long cruise up the Mississippi river. I must admit that was a fun trip. The boat could just pull up to the bank and drop a long gangway onto the levee and walk on or off…back then there was no security to go through…
