Tips for First Time Cruisers!
-
Use a travel agent to book: When booking a cruise there are a lot of decisions to make. Your InteleTravel Travel Agent can help you figure out all the details, and steer you to the perfect cruise line, ship, itinerary and cabin for you. The agent also can help you if something goes wrong just before, during or after your voyage.
-
Sign up for activities in advance or soon after boarding: If you want to be sure that you get a seat for a specific show on a specific night, or a specific tour or restaurant reservation time, it's a good idea to do this. It's not uncommon with some ships to find that some shows, tours and restaurant reservation times book up in advance. Remember, your InteleTravel Travel Agent can help with all your booking needs!
-
Pack your bathing suit in your carry-on: When you first arrive at a ship, before you even get on board, you'll likely be greeted by porters who will whisk away your luggage. It will be delivered to your room later in the day. This is a great convenience, as there's no need to haul your bags through the entire check-in progress. But it also means you might not have access to your luggage for many hours on your first day on board.
-
Don't feel like you have to do it all: You should force yourself to try to not do it all. Remember, you're on vacation. Relax. Take some downtime. Sit on your balcony, if you have one, and just stare out at the ocean for a couple of hours. You won't regret it.
