Land Trip or Cruise?



There's so much preparation involved when you vacation by land.

You drive around looking for a place to stay since the hotel you planned on staying at is full. Land trips give you many options to visit. Go with the cruise if you want to rest and have fun on your vacation.

If you go on a cruise ship, you'll have a steward who's at your beck and call.

Not so on a cruise, where Dad can skeet shoot, Mom checks in for massage and facial at the spa, teens go to their video game room, kids cannot wait to get to the children's program and even Grandma can find a bridge game.

Dozens of daily shipboard activities are free. On land, nothing is for free. What surprises first time passengers most is the food.

You can eat onboard at any time you please. Cruises make every mealtime special.

The unlimited food is part of the cruise fee. Go ahead, eat your weight in lobster tail and prime steak – it is all inclusive.

If you compare the amount you'd spend on food if you went on a land trip, it most probably will be equal to the money you pay for a family cruise. For the wandering tourist, there's ample time to stroll around foreign ports of call when the ship docks.

Prior to docking, the cruise director offers briefing sessions to tell you about the attractions, special events and side trips that you can do while on land. Cruise travel has it all - food, fun, pampering and the chance to visit exotic ports.
