Dispelling some myths about cruise ship holidays

By: Sal Greet

There are many reasons that people often give as to why they do not wish to go on a cruise ship holiday ? but a lot of the common ones are the result of misinformation and myth.

The potential for sea sickness often puts people off considering a cruise ship holiday. However, most modern cruise ships are stabilised to reduce the sideways rolling motion that causes sea sickness, as well as being designed to experience minimal pitching up and down.

It might seem to the uninitiated that spending an entire holiday largely on one ship will be boring. However, modern cruise ships are often better equipped in terms of leisure facilities than many on-land holiday resorts. Additionally, there are usually plenty of day trips on to dry land that can enable the cruise ship passenger to experience more varied excursions than on a traditional, land based holiday.

The next point may seem obvious, but some people are wary of taking a cruise due to a lack of nautical knowledge ? and this should not be a cause for concern! Modern cruise ships are like well equipped holiday resorts, and are geared up to cater for the leisure needs of guests ? you can leave the sailing to the crew!

The traditional image of cruise ships as being some kind of floating retirement home is now perhaps a little outdated in many cases. There are cruises aimed at the older traveller, just as there are certain holidays aimed at specific age groups; but a ''Saga'' crowd is by no means a given.

Cruise ships may seem to provide a regimented kind of holiday to the uninitiated, but while this may historically have been the case, the modern cruise is like every other successful kind of holiday package, in that the success of the product is due to providing what the customer wants ? and these days that means choice.

This means a choice of when and where to eat, as well as whether or not to get involved in the different activities offered, both on and off the ship.

If you feel that perhaps a few misconceptions about cruising have been challenged, and you are interested in looking for a cruise deal, try comparing as many of the websites of providers like Thomas Cook and others to find the best bargains.
