10 Reasons To Have Your Birthday Party On A Boat Cruise


By Adriana Noton

The older we get the more our birthdays seem to become less of an occasion. Other than the obvious milestones, there is some societal taboo that seems to stop many of us from throwing a heck of a party every year because there will be snickers and talk of "we are not five years old anymore, why should we throw such a big party?"

If we do anything for our birthdays, it is just an impromptu get together with friends for dinner, or a party at the house. It is an excuse to have everyone come together. Presents cease being so important, it is really about taking a day to do something fun with the people in your life that you love.

Group vacations are usually done under some kind of pretense. Destination weddings or bachelorette spa weekends make people feel better about taking time off with the people they most enjoy. Why not extend that to your birthday? Make it an occasion to try something new and to have fun. There are 10 reasons to have your birthday party on a boat cruise.

The first reason is the price. We are in a recession and many people are cutting back to the extreme, but that does not mean that there is not the desire to get away, to go on a vacation. Boat cruises are a wonderful option because everything is taken care of for you other than the price of alcohol and some extras.

Second, and in the same vein, the culinary experience is second to none. Celebrate your birthday in style with a gourmet meal that you friends don't have to suffer to afford as it is included.

Reason 3 is, boat cruises are all about your choice. You can travel to more than one destination on a boat cruise depending on where it will be at port so that you can explore many different environments. It is up to you!

Forth, on top of your port choices, you can stretch yourself and try any number of exciting activities like rock climbing or surfing.

The fifth reason is that you don't have to do anything. While some of your friends are running around and parasailing off the end of the boat or bowling on another level of the ship, you can indulge yourself in a mud bath and seaweed facial.

Reason 6 is that you only have to pack one bag. Traveling to so many different places and being able to do so many things feels like you would have to pack an army of luggage, but that is simply not the case.

Reason 7 is the fun and adventure of going on a boat cruise. Your birthday can be the reason that you and your friends try something new.

The eighth reason is that you can find love on a boat cruise. Silly? Not really. When you think about a ship full of people who are relaxed and having fun, the chances of finding someone go up exponentially.

Reason 9 is that you don't have to travel far. Cruise packages take the hassle of too much transportation out of the equation. If you life far from a port of departure, many cruise packages now include airfare.

The tenth reason is that the experience is something that should not be missed. Our biggest birthdays and in fact, any birthdays, only come one a year. Finding a reason to turn it into a celebration with your friends and family in a place where they can tailor their experience to make it the best vacation they've had in years makes going on a boat cruise a no brainer.
