The only way youโll be bored on a cruise is if you want to be. A cruise ship is like a floating city that explores different destinations whilst offering a multitude of Bars & Lounges, plus tonnes of dining choices and a full-service spa. You can try your luck at the casino, enjoy the nightly entertainment or challenge yourself on a ropes course, waterslides and much more! In your stateroom, youโll receive a programme detailing all of your shipsโ activities for the day so you can be sure not to miss a thing.

Dressing up on a cruise ship is completely optional. Although there are formal events you can participate in, if you so choose, you don't have to dress up unless you want to. Casual wear is perfectly acceptable throughout the day and night for the majority of venues on board.

With a world of distinctive culinary opportunities, cruise lines take pride in offering exciting menus catering to all age groups. Besides the delicious nightly selections available in the main restaurants, there's a huge variety of amazing speciality restaurants on board, including top-notch steakhouses, Italian, and fine French dining, as well as seafood, sushi and teppanyaki delights. There are also pizzerias, bakeries and gelato shops to indulge in. If you have a dietary issue, your cruise line will be more than happy to accommodate your needs.

Even though cruise ships can hold upward of 4,200 guests, it never feels that way since passengers spread out to all the onboard venues. If youโre able to cruise in one of the premium 'ship within a ship' areas (The Haven, The Yacht Club etc...), youโll be in an even smaller group as these guests have their own private areas.

If your kids are apprehensive about cruising, the fleeting thought of experiencing an unknown situation is sure to give way to new activities and friends. Besides planned Youth Programmes for children ages 6 months to 17 years, kids also have their own areas to enjoy such as kid's water parks, teen clubs, arcades etc. As an added benefit, it can actually be less expensive to cruise with your kids (some promotions offer free 3rd and 4th guests in your stateroom) than to pay for childcare to leave them at home.

With the average age of a cruise guest being in their mid 40's, it's definitely not true that only grandparents cruise. With today's innovative dining opportunities, entertainment and youth programmes, you're sure to find an entire range of fellow passengers on board your ship.
