Top 5 Misconceptions About CruisesCruise vacations are a great way to see several places at once without unpacking. They also often provide more value than land vacations. Cruising is not for everyone, but there are some popular misconceptions about cruises. Here are the top 5 misconceptions about cruises and why they are misconceptions:

I Will Be Bored

Cruise ships today offer non-stop activity options. From classes to varied entertainment, to sports there is something for everyone. Some of the larger ships now offer everything from rock climbing walls, zip-lining, go carts, surf simulators and ice rinks. Even on smaller ships, most people find that they have difficulty in deciding which activity or event to chose from rather than their feeling bored.

I Will Feel Claustrophobic on a Cruise

Today’s larger cruise ships are like floating resorts. They have large open spaces and places to explore. Even the cabins on today’s cruise have changed. On some cruise ships, you can select a two level loft style cabin that is spacious and comfortable.

I Will Get Seasick

Today’s cruise ships have pretty good stabilizers. Many passengers who get seasick on ferries and other small boats find the ride at sea on a cruise ship as remarkably smooth. Another option is to select a river cruise. There are also tips about where to select your cabin if you are prone to seasickness and of course the patch and other preventative steps help people who need them.

I Won’t Get to Spend Any Time in the Ports

Many cruises these days include overnight stays in one or more ports. Some cruise lines specifically select itineraries that spend multiple days in a single port. A cruise that starts in one port and ends in another provides you with an opportunity to spend extended time in these ports before and after your cruise without having to worry about how to get from one point to the other.

I Will Gain Weight on a Cruise

Cruise ships do provide you with the opportunity to eat virtually around the clock. However, as long as you make good choices, you can maintain your weight or even lose weight on a cruise should you wish to. Cruise ships offer spa cuisine and other low calorie and low carb choices to accommodate any dietary restrictions. The cruise ships also offer many options for working off any extra calories you may have imbibed too. From gyms with tons of cardio equipment and some weights, to running tracks and rock climbing walls, there are many ways to exercise.
