How To Choose Cruise Correctly?
Sea cruises always were considered as an optimum choice for the tourists wishing for one holiday to visit several countries at once. It is not necessary to suffer with moving, packing-unpacking of the suitcases, new devices to hotels. And since cruises have ceased to be represented by unrealizable dream for the tourists, onboard liners can meet any of our compatriots.
How correctly to choose cruise, the liner, a cabin?
Without dependence from the size, all large liners give principal views of services: placing, a food, excursions in ports, entertainments onboard. It is possible to judge service standards on a liner class (“standard”, “premium” and “lux”).
If for you the great value has comfort and service it is necessary to choose higher class of the liner and cabin type, probably having offered duration of cruise. If you want to see more for smaller money it is possible to stop on more modest conditions of placing.
Duration of cruises makes usually from 7 till 14 nights and for the first experience it is better to stop on a short variant.
What concerning discounts?
Almost all large companies offer discounts for early booking (usually this term is half a year and more). Thus you risk nothing – before penal sanctions it is possible to refuse the reservation and to receive back the paid money. Many large companies have programs “loyal passengers” (i.e. offer discounts for tourists again traveling with them). All cruise companies give discounts to the third (fourth) passenger in a cabin.
Besides, in cruise industries “tip” is widespread. On the average, the size of tip is about $10 from the passenger for days. Besides, 15 % of tip are automatically added to the account at the order in a bar.
What additional expenditure expect us onboard?
If you use paid services onboard in the end of cruise you receive the detailed onboard account. Practically at any time it is possible to order in a cabin drinks and snack. For an additional payment on modern liners offer improving procedures in Spas-CENTERS. It is possible to use beauty salon or hairdressing salon services, to hand over clothes in a laundry or a dry-cleaner. The majority of large liners are equipped by a casino. Everywhere where are duty free shops onboard, various boutiques, it is possible to spend money in a bar or restaurant (by the way it is strictly forbidden to carry by spirits aboard from coast!).
Besides, cruise cost doesn’t include cost of coastal excursions.
Whether there are any privileges and restrictions for children?
At placing of the child by the third or fourth passenger all cruise companies offer considerable discounts. Age to which the passenger is considered the child (13, 16, 18 years), the companies define. There are also such companies which offer free placing of children till 18 years in a cabin with two adults.
