What a romantic and exotic way to get married, on a cruise ship! There are so many options. You can get married in port prior to your wedding cruise, or even get married by the captain on the ship while underway to the most romantic honeymoon ever. Or you could invite the whole family and wedding party and get married at one of the ports of call and then you can all enjoy the cruise.
Think of a cruise and you’ll probably think of the open waves and enjoying the many benefits of a cruise ship while surrounded by nothing more than ocean on all sides. But a cruise does not always set sail on an ocean. Some of the best cruises the world has to offer are actually river cruises, and what they might lack in distance travelled they certainly make up for in sights to see.
We scheduled a repositioning cruise on the Vision of the Seas from Los Angeles to Vancouver, BC and I had checked the website and found that NCL was offering a one-night Dinner & Dance cruise from Vancouver, BC to Seattle, WA for an unbelievable rate in a Balcony Cabin. Score!
This trip proved to be an adventure for a one-nighter. I am going to try and keep a light tone to this review but it was nasty, as several thousand cruisers can attest to.
Cruises may still be associated with older travelers, but the times when older travelers are the only ones enjoying a cruise vacation are long passed. A cruise is an extremely attractive option for anyone seeking to escape from the demands of work and everyday life. Fortunately, cruise lines now offer a variety of programs allowing them to meet the holiday needs of any traveler’s lifestyle and preferences. Cruising is no longer about simply showing off your new wardrobe, playing shuffleboard or socializing in the lounge. These may all be great parts of a cruise vacation, but there is a wide range of activities and amenities perfect for every traveler.
A luxury cruise vacation was once the sole preserve of the rich and the famous so a cruise budget was the last thing to consider. You really did used to have to be very wealthy to say bon voyage and sail of on a magical cruise vacation. For the poorer people there was an underclass of cabin down below but the two classes would hardly ever meet on board.

Don’t know what it is about going on a cruise that compels some to pack like they were joining a one year expedition to Siberia. But they typically pack twice as much as they need. Showing they are painfully unaware of what to wear on a cruise.
Naturally it helps if you know what to expect. And if you’ve spent time on a cruise ship previously you should be better prepared than someone leaving the dock for the first time. Since from experience you’re aware of what to wear on a cruise. Or at least should know what goes and what doesn’t.

Now that you have decided that you want to take a cruise, the next step is to decide where to go. There are hundreds of destinations for you to choose from, which can make your decision a difficult one. When considering which cruise to take, keep in mind how much you have to spend, which part of the world you want to travel to, and how long you want your cruise to be. These factors are usually enough to make your decision a little easier.
