Many of the world's cruise lines are participating in a World's Largest Cruise Night event tomorrow, October 14th!  Here's a link to more information, both via my own WLCN site & a sample of the great Onboard Credit deals to be found this week!

World's Largest Cruise Night 10/14
Did you know that only 20% of Americans have ever cruised, yet nearly 95% of cruisers are satisfied with their cruise experience?!  WOW!  So, why haven't YOU cruised?  

Let's clear up some common barriers to cruising:
  •  Cruising is too expensive!
There are not many vacations where your lodging, food (and a lot of it!), non-alcoholic beverages and entertainment are all included AND you only have to unpack once to visit multiple destinations!  If you consider the costs of cruising per person, per night (per diem), things are put into a very different perspective. 

For instance, my family is taking a Disney cruise in January.  Our total cost, thanks to the Kids Sail FREE promotion, is $1468.00 for 4 people and 4 nights to the Bahamas.  SO, it is costing us $91.75 per person, per night for multiple Disney shows, movies, all meals (buffet, sit-down, counter service, etc.), snacks & non-alcoholic beverages, our stateroom, all pools & water slides, kids' programs, and a whole lot more! 
  • There isn't ENOUGH to do -or- there is too MUCH too do! 
You can do as much or as little as YOU want on a cruise ship or at port!  I promise that I won't let anyone force you to do any particular activity on your cruise vacation.  Want to relax poolside with a colorful frozen drink with an umbrella in it all day?  Ok.  Want to do rock-climbing in the morning, learn a new language in the afternoon, see Blue Man Group in the evening, followed by a decadent dessert buffet at midnight?  Ok.  Hmmm, sounds good to me...
  • What if I get motion sickness? 
Yes, it is possible.  HOWEVER, there are many ways to combat motion sickness and trust me, your cruise line wants you to be as healthy & happy as possible, so take advantage of the FREE Dramamine they offer onboard! :)

Other remedies:
-Sea Bands (purchase these in advance at any pharmacy-you just wear them on your wrists like bracelets!)
-Patches (talk to your doctor or visit your local pharmacy)
Remember, I can prepare options for your cruise at any time for your review and there is no obligation whatsoever!  Try it, you might like it! :)
