Well planned cruise vacations are economical with more fun and relaxation then ever before. There are cruise vacations to suit every budget. Your cruise fare includes meals, your stateroom, on-board activities and entertainment, plus transportation from port to port.
Carefully steering away from extra expenses will prevent you from overreaching
your budget.
Extra expense items include drinks, specialty restaurants, optional shore excursions, and personal services such as massage or hairstyling.
Take a day or so to tour the ship and discover everything that's on board. After the tour write out a daily
itinerary of activities you'll want to enjoy.
