We find that people often overlook taking a cruise because of some pretty common misconceptions, when in fact they represent great value for money and a 98% satisfaction rate!! Here are some of those common misconceptions and our answers to them.
 Cruises are too expensive….
When looking at the initial price of a cruise its easy to come to the conclusion that they are more costly than the average package holiday. However, once you factor in that your cruise includes all of your meals, transportation and entertainment, they really do represent great value for money.
Only old people take cruises….
Well perhaps the world cruises, since they certainly have more time on their hands than the rest of us, but the average age of a cruiser is actually only 45 years of age.
All you do on a cruise is sleep and eat…..
You will be surprised to know that cruise ships nowadays are equipped with pools, gymnasiums, beauty therapy clinics, jogging tracks, basketball courts, casino's, library's, shops, movie theatres etc. etc. some even have golf courses and ice skating rinks. Plus there are daily activity programmes in which you can take dancing lessons, computer training courses, cooking lessons, aerobics classes and much more.
Cruise ships are claustrophobic…
People perceive cruise ships to be fairly "intimate", however, the average cruise ship is the size of an eight-acre resort!
