Choosing the Right Couples Cruise

Going on a cruise can sometimes be an expensive trip to take and for most people, getting the time off work to take a vacation can be difficult. Because the opportunities to go on a cruise can be rare, it’s important to fully research what your options are before booking a cabin with any one cruise line. Not all ships are made equal and some boats are designed to appeal more to a certain demographic. Booking your vacation on the cruise ship that’s right for you can ensure you have the best time possible on your romantic getaway.

Age Limits

This may not be something that matters to everyone, but some cruise ships have age limits for their passengers in order to cater specifically to young adults, all adults, families, or seniors. If you’re traveling with children, finding a ship that is geared towards family activities would be ideal. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, you may prefer a cruise ship that is designed for adult couples while avoiding cruises that are geared towards a singles only or party type of crowd.

Amenities

Every different cruise ship offers different varieties of entertainment. Finding out what is available on the ship you intend to book with will help you determine if there will be plenty for you to do or if you will be stuck playing round after round of mini golf because you’ve chosen a ship that didn’t offer the dance lessons you were hoping for.

A lot of amenities such as pools, spas, and bars will be a standard addition to any ship, but it’s still a good idea to check what kind of on board pricing you should expect from the bars and what kind of dining is available. Knowing what will be available on the ship you choose can prevent you from regretting your cruise line decision once you’ve already set out to sea.

Deciding On a Room

Before picking the cheapest room available or going all out and booking an extravagant balcony suite, take some time to determine what you’ll need once you’re on board and what you can live without. There can be a big price difference between in the inner cabins, the cabins with portholes, and the balcony suites. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, the cheapest cabins may not always be ideal. However if you and your partner plan on seeing very little of your lodgings and will be spending most of your time on the deck, it could be a good idea to shack up in one of the discounted suites.

If you’re looking for a romantic experience but you’re traveling with children, make sure there is some kind of kid’s group activity on board that you can leave them at for awhile to enjoy some time to yourselves. To have the most romantic experience possible choose a cruise ship that stops at ports you and your lover find romantic. Most importantly, just take the time to enjoy each other and appreciate this amazing experience together.
