For a lot of people, cruises aren’t exactly their go-to holiday. That’s why for most of us, everything we know is second-hand and hearsay. I’m here to set the record straight on a few things I hear folks say that are keeping them from trying what could be the best holiday of their lives.
They’re Expensive
It’s true that cruises can be costly—this is what keeps a lot of people from trying them—but they don’t always have to be. You can get great deals on trips with all kinds of destinations if you’re willing to be flexible, because cruise companies offer deals on late bookings. Any profit they can make is better than an empty cabin, after all. You can easily find lots of deals like this on Bolsover Cruise Club.
You’ll Get Seasick
If you get motion sick at sea, it’s all down to the way the waves jostle the boat, and this scales down the larger a ship is. It’s easy for the ocean to toss a little dinghy this way and that, but in larger boats you’ll notice it less and less. Well, you’re average cruise ship is bleeding enormous! We’re talking mind-bogglingly big, so even if you can’t stomach being in a car or on a place, you’ll usually be fine on a cruise liner.
They’re Overcrowded and Claustrophobic
Like I said, these boats are big, and they don’t use all that space for golf courses and climbing walls. In my experience, cabins on cruise ships are spacious and comfortable. There’s not much to the rumours of crowding either—though there are a few popular spots, of course—but if that’s a concern there are always more intimate experiences available on smaller river cruise ships. These can also be a little cheaper, so they make for a worthwhile option for any traveller.
They’re ‘Do Nothing’ Holidays
If you just want to kick back and relax in the sun, cruises have you covered, but that’s not all they offer. Cruise ships come loaded with all sorts of amenities from sports equipment to cinemas, and a lot of it is available to use for free, so if you like to keep mind and body active you’ll find it almost impossible to be bored while you’re aboard.
