Cruises may still be associated with older travelers, but the times when older travelers are the only ones enjoying a cruise vacation are long passed. A cruise is an extremely attractive option for anyone seeking to escape from the demands of work and everyday life. Fortunately, cruise lines now offer a variety of programs allowing them to meet the holiday needs of any traveler’s lifestyle and preferences. Cruising is no longer about simply showing off your new wardrobe, playing shuffleboard or socializing in the lounge. These may all be great parts of a cruise vacation, but there is a wide range of activities and amenities perfect for every traveler.

We scheduled a repositioning cruise on the Vision of the Seas from Los Angeles to Vancouver, BC and I had checked the website and found that NCL was offering a one-night Dinner & Dance cruise from Vancouver, BC to Seattle, WA for an unbelievable rate in a Balcony Cabin. Score!

This trip proved to be an adventure for a one-nighter. I am going to try and keep a light tone to this review but it was nasty, as several thousand cruisers can attest to.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist part of my work is ensuring that people reduce their stress. Reducing stress is a easy way to ensure that you are less likely to face common health problems. One way I reduce my stress, besides getting regular massages myself, is to take cruises. I love cruises and usually have at least one planned, but I’ve come to know that even on the most modern of cruise ships you have to take some precautions.

One of the main things which people look at when booking a cruise is just how big their accommodation will be. Many think that economy accommodation is the only option available to them but that is not always the case.

There are generally a lot of options open to you on a cruise ship and often people book their accommodation and find out that they would have preferred a different one when they actually arrive. This means that it is vital that you research the options open to you before you actually book. Be sure that you have looked at every possibility and then decide which type of accommodation would be better for you. That way you will have the best vacation possible.

You’ve taken your first (or subsequent) cruise and are planning your next cruise - but nothing new really jumps out at you. Why not consider repeating a cruise you’ve taken in the past and absolutely loved?

It’s not as crazy as it might seem and to be honest, we’ve actually taken the same cruise three times!
You already know the ins and outs of the cruse ship, you are familiar with the ports you’ll be visiting, and you know from your previous visits to those ports which excursions (if any) to take. Don’t feel like taking the same excursions – don’t!

Queenstown is the exhilaration capital of the world but I would recommend these two fantastic ways to experience the beauty of it. Take the vintage Steamship, across Lake Wakatipu, to Walter Peak High Country Farm and take the Skyline Gondola to the viewing platform that overlooks Queenstown and the surrounding area.
