I have come to the conclusion that going on one of those great luxury cruise ships is actually worth all the money as well as being a lot better than taking a plane there. What is it that makes it a lot better than flying?
No hassle arriving fifty hours before so your bags can be checked, that is done quickly which is great you wont need to get up that early to get there as its all a lot quicker.The great thing about going on a cruise ship is that there is no waiting around waiting either in the airport or on the plane to get to your destination as soon as you step onto the ship you are essentially at your hotel.
There are also casinos, free room service, and bars to go to as soon as you step foot onto the ship. Free drinks are only available on long haul flights and that is only if you are flying with one of the better airlines on a long haul flight.
The best thing about it is you actually get to have legroom which is great compared to a plane! There is no worry about legroom on a ship as you are never restricted to space, even the cheapest of rooms are spacious.
Of course if something does happen all you have to do is get into a lifeboat rather than jump down a huge inflatable slide or worse die on impact. Theres no threat of terrorism whatsoever so you can sail with one less worry! All you really need to worry about are pirates and that is only if you are near the pirate zones.
Of course there is the possibility of storms but hey when that happens just head downstairs and relax with a game of pool or a nice drink, or even both!
I have to admit I love flying and I would never say cruise every year instead of flying to your favourite destination but going on a luxury cruise is nice every so often and with Regent Cruises (the one I went with) you are sure to have a better time than on an aeroplane.
