Depending on the cruise you choose there are a variety of amenities to choose from including spas, health clubs, casinos, pools, restaurants, bars and shops. It is important to consider the layout of a ship, the amenities offered and the activities available when booking a cruise. Use the internet to check the websites for travel agencies and cruise lines to get in depth information on what a cruise has to offer so you can book the right cruise the meets your needs and interests. 2. Next you need to consider the embarkation port city for your cruise choice. You should remember to allow time for travel from the airport to the dock. You may want to consider booking a night in a hotel at the port city if you are concerned about getting to the ship on time. There are several online travel sites, which can help you, explore, compare and book entire packages that cover everything from the flight and hotel to the actual cruise itself. There are even cruise specialists that you can talk with who can help you make the right decision.

Don't be afraid to ask for specifics in order to enjoy your cruise. Food is always available on cruise ships. A fine dining room is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. During dinner hours more people are on board so most cruise lines give people a seating time. If you want to spend some time at ports of call without worrying about getting back to the ship on time then be sure to ask for later dinnertime when you book your cruise. Also be sure to keep in mind that while drinks such as coffee, juice, iced tea and water are free, but you have to pay extra for other drinks. So keep some budget aside for these drinks if you want them. 4. If you have a budget it is still possible to have a memorable cruise. Just be sure to account for what you spend each day. Remember that tips are included in the price on most cruise lines. However, there are some individuals who you will need to tip such as the stateroom attendant. It is best to talk with the individual cruise line about their recommended tip amounts. 5. Finally don't be afraid to get off the boat. There is much to do and see on land. Whenever you visit a port of call be sure to take advantage of any activity that you wouldn't normally experience at home. This way you can do and see something unique in order truly enjoy your summer cruise. Robert Thomas is a recreational boater and is always happy to share his secrets with his readers.
