One of my biggest dreams is to go on a cruise with The Husband. It’s something that I know we wouldn’t be able to afford so it was always at the bottom of my list of things to do before I hit 40. However, thanks to the Internet, I saw from a website called directlinecruises.com that cruises are not that expensive anymore. I don’t know if we have more money now or if I was just not familiar with the rates before. I checked the Royal Caribbean Cruises first to see what will be in store for us.

To imagine what it’s like on a Royal Caribbean Cruise, think of staying at a huge, first-rate resort hotel…one that actually floats you to your destination while you enjoy fine dining, shows, music dancing, movies, cultural events, sports, games, an exciting Vegas-style casino and so much more. No one helps you experience more incredible destinations than Royal Caribbean Cruises. See historic European cities, explore the unspoiled natural wonders of Alaska or “shop till you drop” at any of the duty free Caribbean and Bermuda ports that you visit.

What a dream vacation! Of course, a grand vacation won’t be complete without good food and this cruise boasts of gourmet meals in grand dining rooms. Although the spa treatments and state of the art gyms are a given, I was surprised to know that you can also do rock climbing, dancing and more. The lowest rate for a 5-night Bermuda cruise is $649/pax, which is not so bad because we’re talking about a high-end cruise ship here people! Norwegian Cruises on the other hand is more on “freestyle cruising”. You don’t have to follow a strict schedule when you’re in a Norwegian cruise vacation. You can eat anytime you want and wear whatever you want. It’s definitely for those who are just looking to relax or want to bring the kids to this dream getaway. Now, if you want to be pampered from head to toe like a celebrity, then the Celebrity Cruises are what you exactly need. This is the highest rated cruise line offering the top most quality food, service and entertainment. I’ve read that the ratio of staff to guests it 1:2 so it will just be like you brought your own personal assistant.

Having said all that, I just realized that I don’t know much about cruises. I only learned about some of the terminologies when I visited the resources pages, blog, news and brochures that are available from the site. I highly recommend this site to all vacationers who are planning to go on a cruise.
