 - Exploring Ports & Destinations

This summer, there are more first-time cruisers ready to embark on the joys and possibilities of a cruise vacation than ever before.  With these tips in mind, we hope to encourage even more travelers to set sail on their maiden voyage for their next vacation.

Time for Tours — Check with guest services, or your travel agent to book tours and excursions that are guaranteed to get you back to the ship on time.


Divide Your Days — Review the ports and destination itinerary in advance and designate specific days for shopping, relaxing and adventure. Don’t try to do too much at each location


Before Heading Out — On most ships, room service is complimentary. Take advantage of breakfast in the room on days in port.
