Find the Perfect All Inclusive Cruises for You
Imagine a life where everything you could possibly want is right at your fingertips. You can buy a tuxedo or have your hair done without putting on proper shoes or getting in the car. Your view each morning when you wake is of endless blue ocean. In the heat of the day you sit by the pool sipping a daiquiri, and in the evenings you dine on 5-star cuisine and dance till dawn.
Such is the life aboard all inclusive cruises.
Cruise packages come in a variety of prices and options; from Disney cruise vacations for the whole family, to couples’ cruises with island stops, where romance is the order of the day.
What does “all inclusive” mean? All inclusive cruises provide your stateroom, with prices varying according to where on the ship your room is situated. For example, if you have an ocean view, you will pay more than you would for an interior, windowless cabin. Also included are all your meals, snacks and entertainments, your beverages (wine with dinner, beer, soft drinks, liquor throughout the cruise), and scheduled activities such as ports of call for diving or whale watching.
Foreign exchange is usually available on board the ship, so that if you stop in a port of call to spend the day, you can exchange some currency and take part in the local culture by shopping or dining.
What isn’t included? Unless you book a complete package, your transportation to your departure point usually isn’t included. This means if you live in New York and your cruise departs from Miami, you are responsible for arranging your flight to Miami and back. Cruise ships also offer shopping, and spa/beauty services. These are not included. Most cruise companies do not use cash on board, instead using a charge system through your room number, similar to a hotel. Beware how much you are charging to your room, as you might be in for a shock later!
Depending where you choose to travel, gambling may be available on board. This would not be included.
