Cruise Vacations - Frequently Asked Questions
You will have many questions when planning your cruise vacations. I have been on many cruises and have heard many recurring questions. This article will address the frequently asked questions about cruising.
Is there a specific time period of when I can eat? Well, there is a "yes" and "no" answer to this. Typically, most cruise ships have a scheduled eating time where diners can enjoy a variety of foods and meal plans. The majority of ships have a flexible meal plan where you can enjoy foods whenever you want. Also you can eat foods with whom you want (that's important for some). However, the flexible meal plans are limited to certain types of food. Sometimes reservations are required for some dining establishments on board a ship. You might have to wait in line for your food and the occupants with the most expensive cabins with get first choice among the food.
How about if I want "get away from it all"? Are there any alternative spots to get away from the noise and eat in peace and quiet? You can have the comfort of knowing that you can eat in peace and quiet. Again, this is not a free option and you will have to pay an additional $15-$50 for the alternative dining experience.
What is the difference between the outside cabin and the interior cabin? This might sounds complicated but means that the outside cabins have a porthole, or window that you can see outside of your cabin. Some outside cabins have small balconies. An interior cabin does not have a window and usually artwork or curtains cover one wall. The outside cabins cost more than the inside cabins.
Do cell-phones work on cruise ships? Yes, they do! You can use your cell-phone on the decks and cabins. Basically the majority of the ship is cell-phone friendly. Be careful however, if you do not want to pay roaming fees you should check with your cell-phone provider. When out at sea, some ships switch on roaming carriers and you will have to pay hefty fees. When at port, the ship will switch back to local carriers.
Do cruise ships have internet access? Is it free? Cruise ships have internet access and it will cost you a lot of money to use it. Many cruise ships make a considerable amount of money from their guests by charging for wireless internet services. You can access internet from your room via laptop or from one of the internet cafes on board.
