Five reasons we enjoy cruising as a family
Many people ask why we go on cruises instead of a "normal" holiday in a hotel! There are lots of great reasons to cruise, here are five of ours.
1) No need to fly. We cruise from the UK and are less than 2 hours drive from Southampton. This means we don't have to worry about luggage allowances, which is good when you are cruising around the UK or Norway and have to pack for all weather!
2) Every day is different. On a cruise, you can be in Spain one day, France the next, or in the middle of the ocean, and all you had to do was go to sleep!
3) You still have the luxury of a hotel and its amenities. Cruise ships are effectively floating hotels, with an amazing selection of rooms, pools, kids club, quizzes and shows, spa facilities, restaurant choices, and lots of bars.
4) Your holiday is what you make it. You can choose to laze by the pool all day with a cocktail, take part in games and quizzes, be active at the fitness centre, visit the art gallery, go shopping, sit and listen to music or a singer, or stay in your room and enjoy the peace.
5) The views are indescribable. Until you have set sail, you cannot appreciate the vastness of the ocean, the wildlife, the sunsets, the sheer beauty of our world. Stand on the lido deck, or the promenade, and catch a view to take your breath away!
