Why should you take a cruise you wonder? If you’re asking yourself that question, you haven’t seen what they have to offer! Where else can you find an all inclusive* resort that travels to several different locations during your stay?!
1. It’s A Travelling Resort

If you’re a resort type person, a cruise brings only benefits. Resorts come in all styles, some are all inclusive, others you have to pay for everything extra after the purchase of your room. A cruise is nearly the same except most things such as food, beverages, and entertainment are always included with your stateroom purchase.
The bonus of cruising vs booking a resort? The cruise visits multiple different locations during your stay. So when you book a cruise you not only get a stateroom included with food, beverages, and entertainment, but you also get the chance to explore parts of the world you’ve never been to!
2. Unlimited Food

On a cruise you can expect to indulge in exceptional culinary cuisines at every restaurant on-board that you visit! The food options on-board are limitless and cater to every persons wants and needs.
You can choose to eat at anytime of the day! Hungry? Head to one of the restaurants on-board. You can find everything from sit-down meals to grab and go snacks like sandwiches, pizza, salads e.t.c.
Wanting to get the most for your money? Be sure to dine at the main dining room every night and eat meals like pictured above. Or if you really want to experience extraordinary culinary make plans to eat at a specialty restaurant. It will cost you extra money but will be worth every penny!
3. Never A Dull Moment

There’s endless entertainment on-board that you can choose to participate in. If you’re looking to be entertained there’s always something happening. On-board you can watch musicals, live musicians, attend comedy shows, test out the wave riders, go rock climbing, participate in games such as pool volleyball, bingo, and even guest interactive shows!
4. It’s A Good Price

Yes, a cruise can seem pricey but after you factor in all the complimentary services you get you will see how it can be much cheaper than a normal vacation.
Anywhere else in the world where you would vacation would cost you much more money if you were taking advantage of all the things that you could do on a cruise. You can find cruises as cheap as ~$120 a night. Most good hotels can go for more than that a night and don’t include any of the perks a cruise offers such as food, and entertainment!
5. You’re Never In The Same Location

If you book a 7-14 night stay at a resort or hotel the first few days will be stunning and exciting. After that things will slow down and you will become attuned to your surroundings and have trouble staying entertained.
On a cruise that’s never the case! Every few days you’ll be visiting a new port where you’ll be allowed to depart the ship and explore your destination. That means being given the opportunity to experience different cultures and activities!
6. Your Stateroom Feels Like Home

Everybody enjoys the privacy of their own home and being able to relax at their own will. On a cruise ship it will feel just as comfortable as home! Your stateroom will have it’s own T.V. with limited* cable, and on-demand movies as well as a private bathroom, thermostat, and if you choose, a private balcony!
Meaning if you want, you can sit back and relax the whole cruise and not be bothered by anyone.
Order room service and have a meal out on your balcony while enjoying the view of the ocean!
7. World Class Spas

You would be lucky to find the quality spa care that a cruise provides for the price at a normal spa facility.
On a cruise, you can find spa treatments for as low as $75 USD sometimes! Spa treatments vary. You can do a simple massage to a full on day of treatment. Depending on the ship, you may even enjoy your massage with a ocean view!
8. Activities For Children & Teens

Going on a vacation with children or teens can be troublesome. You’ll worry about them being entertained, and being safe.
Most cruises offer kids and teen clubs! Each club will have a theme and be supervised. Some of the most extravagant clubs have children play areas, water parks, basketball courts, table tennis, arcades, and evening dance parties! Some of these clubs even have employees dressed as cartoon characters entertaining kids and teens!
9. Shore Excursions

While visiting different ports during your cruise you can mark some things off of your bucket list. Perhaps visit one of the wonders of the world, go whale watching, experience the thrill of zip-lining or go parasailing!
The excursions vary upon cruise line and destination but there’s something for everyone willing to seek an adventure!
Take up the claim to some bragging rights as you visit Mexico by heading to the Mayan City of Chichen Itza! One of seven wonders of the world! Or seek the thrill of dog sledding in Alaska!
