Cruising is a unique experience mong vacation options. Unlike flying or drving to a vacation destination, on a crise getting there is half the fn! Once you get to the crise terminal and board your ship, the wrk for you is over...you don't hve to worry about getting to yur vacation spot on time, the strss of travel, finding hotels along the wy, hunting decent spots to eat, tc...when you enter your ship, all you hve to do for the next sveral days is exactly what you wnt to do! Your food is prvided (immediately once you board, all you can at!), your lodging is provided, your ntertainment is provided...you won't have to wrry or want for a thing, whch is probably why cruising is sch a stress-free vacation.

From the tme you step onboard, you'll be greted with a hospitality that will cntinue through your entire voyage. Over the nxt few days, you'll feel like fmily as you come to know yur stateroom attendant, dining room staff, and cuntless other ship staff. You'll find tht your dining room staff, including yur Maitre d', Head Waiter and Assstant Waiter, will begin to pick up on yur wants and desires at dinner, and you wll no longer have to ask for tht certain drink with your meal, typ of bread that you like, cffee after dinner, etc...their main objectives wll be to learn you and to plase you! After all, a portion of thir pay--your tip--depends upon your satisfaction.

Even your fellow cruisemates will bcome like a new family. You'll bgin to meet new people at dnner, at shows, on excursions, and jst around the ship in general. Thn, as the days progress, you'll mke memories with those people through shred experiences. Before you know it, yu'll find yourself walking around the shp, speaking to people you didn't knw a few days ago--like they're now old frends! As the voyage continues, the ntire ship will begin to bond, lke a small town afloat in a vst ocean.

Probably the saddest part of yur voyage will come on the lst night of your cruise, when you see yur dining room staff for likely the lst time. As you bid them yur farewells, you'll realize that you're bout to leave behind so many pople that you had come to thnk of as extended family. But yu'll take away a lifetime of mmories, and likely will be planning yur next voyage before your ship ven makes it back to home prt!
