Cruising is one of the best ways to vacation! In fact, travelers who cruise tend to fall in love with cruising, oftentimes with a particular cruise line and will prefer a cruise as a means to visit various destinations throughout the world versus a standard land vacation. There are countless reasons why travelers love to cruise, so let’s narrow it down to the top 5 reasons people love to cruise!
The Number 1 reason travelers love to cruise is the convenience! You can visit multiple islands in the Caribbean, or multiple countries and cities throughout Europe, while your hotel travels along with you! Imagine visiting 3 different European countries, 5 different Caribbean islands, or even taking a cruise around the world and only having to unpack your suitcase one time! Cruising is the most popular way to visit Alaska, as you can see so much beauty not only in the different ports of call but also view beautiful scenery while you are sailing. River Cruising has become one of the most popular ways to experience multiple countries throughout Europe, especially smaller villages not accessible by the larger ships.
The Number 2 reason travelers love to cruise is the value! Included with your cruise fare are all of your meals onboard the ship, activities, entertainment, pools, waterslides, and pretty much everything you could need or want while on vacation. Many cruise lines offer booking bonuses such as free drink packages, free wifi, free gratuities, free excursions, and upgraded dining experiences. If you book your cruise at the right time, you won’t have to spend a dime while on the ship.
The Number 3 reason travelers love to cruise is the fun! Families especially love the larger “mega-ships” that really are more like floating cities. You can find activities for every age group, including some really innovative new experiences such as a full race-track at sea, surf simulators, virtual reality, laser tag, sports simulators, massive water slides and splash zones…the list goes on and on. From young children to teens to adults, there is something for everyone on board a cruise ship.
The Number 4 reason travelers love to cruise is the service! The pampering that is available on board a cruise ship is addictive! From skilled stewards who care for your stateroom, complete with evening turndown service, to the world-class spas and concierge lounges, there are many ways to relax and feel spoiled. Some cruise lines offer rotational dining, where your servers follow you each evening to a different restaurant, allowing them to learn your preferences and anticipate your every need. The exceptional service on cruise ships is one of the reasons travelers often become addicted to the experience and continue to cruise time and time again.
And the Number 5 reason travelers love to cruise and continue to cruise is the trust they have in their favorite cruise line! Consistent, reliable service is the reason travelers fall in love with certain cruise lines and will continue to sail with their favorites time and time again. Their expectations are constantly met, and often exceeded, with each cruise they take. As the cruise lines continue to build new ships, seasoned cruisers will continue to explore the world with their favorite cruise line.
