10 tips for a successful cruise

You will live aboard a true floating city. But you have any doubts. You do not know how to choose the right cruise, or even how to succeed? Do not move, we give you our 10 tips for a successful cruise.

1- Choose the boat you are interested 

First of all, look at what type of boat you're going to ride. It would be a shame that you were in a festive mood for seven 7 days, as you seek rest. So take the time to learn about the different boats. 

2- Book Early 

There is no small savings to do in life. By taking it to the last minute, you will pay full price. However, with 3-6 months in advance, you can get discounts of 30 to 50% off published prices pamphlet and even better, you decide choosing your cabin. 

3- Choose the best cabin 

At the front, middle or rear. The choice of car is essential for a good stay. Even if you will not be spending most of your time. For example, a mistake not to make is to take a windowless cabin. You will not see the sea! If you have the means, treat yourself to the luxury of a balcony cabin. 

4- Make a list of useful items to bring 

No need to take your entire house. Bring a supply of film, sunscreen, shower gel, your favorite chocolates ... On the ship, these products will be more expensive. 

5- Consider your luggage is lost 

An accident happens very quickly. So take some precautions. For this unfortunate event does not disrupt your trip, take out insurance to cover any loss, delay and damage to baggage. 

6- Avoid the queues 

If there are excursions, book before you go or the first day on board. Then you will not make the race at the registration desk once on board. Do the same for booking spa treatments or specialty restaurants. 

7- How to save on trips? 

A small economic council. If you see that other people are interested in doing the same trip that you take a taxi might cost less. But be careful: return to the ship on time because if you miss it, everything will be at your expense. 

8- State if there is an important event 

If you are honeymooning or if it's your birthday, why not celebrate it inside the ship? Some airlines have special packages and will make little surprises. 

9- Tipping 

You should not feel obliged to do so. But it will always please the crew. To help you, your travel documents include a sheet with examples of tip that could be given at the end of your cruise. 

10- Dinner with friends 

At the time of booking or that of the recording, you will be asked to choose between 1st or 2nd service dining room. If you're a couple, ask if you can have a table for two in a somewhat inconspicuous area. 

Happy cruising to all !
