On cruise travel.
Cruise are unique within the vacation industry. Unlike most vacation options where travel is incidental, with cruises it is integral to the experience. Even with guided tours, the bus transporting you from one point to the next is not part of the vacation. In a cruise vacation, the mode of travel IS the destination.
Cruise travel is among the fastest growing segments of the vacation industry. This growth is not only driving the evolution of all aspects of cruise travel, but is changing the make-up of its clientèle. Cruise travel today is a thoroughly modern experience, but has its roots deep in the past of travel at sea.
The best way to learn and enjoy cruise travel is to educate yourself. Take all opinions with a grain of salt. Never take marketing literally, but also don't allow yourself to become jaded without cause. The internet has become the best way to become a savvy cruise traveler before you even board a ship. Having an accurate and well informed understanding of the cruise experience is worth three extra days at sea. The more you know, the more you will relax and enjoy yourself.
