Cruise Vacations - Frequently Asked Questions
You will have many questions when planning your cruise vacations. I have been on many cruises and have heard many recurring questions. This article will address the frequently asked questions about cruising.
Do I have to eat on a timed schedule? Can I eat whenever I want? Most cruise ships have flexible options so that you can dine when you want and where you want. However, this will cost you extra and the food choices are limited. I personally choose this choice because I do not like to wait in line with all the other hungry masses and prefer to choose my own dining times. Waiting in line gets annoying very quickly.
Alternative dining service is a dining establishment on board the vessel that are different than the main restaurant. These dining services usually cost additional money and can cost from $15 to $50 per person to use these facilities. However, the food quality, service and overall ambiance are much better than the main restaurant. People who are sick and tired of waiting in long lines, noise and sharing tables are fond of this service. Most importantly, the alternative dining establishments are more cozy and offer and quieter and more romantic environment.
What is the difference between an outside and inside cabin? An outside cabin has a window or balcony and will cost you extra money. An inside cabin does not have a window and is generally cheaper.
Does cell service work on board a cruise ship? Yes, cell phones work on cruise ships. I would make sure that your cell-phone carrier provides service within the area you are traveling so that you won't have to pay roaming charges. Also, you probably should ask your travel agent whether or not the cruise ship uses a foreign carrier when at sea. I recommend that you put away your cell phone and enjoy your vacation. However, if you really need to make a phone call, expect to pay some big bucks.
Do ships have internet access? Most ships have internet access and even have wireless connections. However, this does not come without a cost. Other ships have internet cafes where they charge you by the minutes. It will cost about .50 cents per minute and I should remind you that connections speeds can be quite slow. Many cruise ships use internet as a large revenue generator.
