A cruise is a vacation spent on a ship that sails the ocean, periodically stopping in ports for sightseeing One especially great thing about cruise vacations is that you can enjoy a breathtaking ocean view. After a fun-filled day, cruises offer you the option to lay out on deck and stargaze like you never have before. Take in the illuminated swirl of the cosmos while your cruise ship peacefully glides along the sea.

A cruise holiday is a collection of all those leisure activities that fill your soul and rejuvenates your mind. It offers irresistible food, world-class entertainment, bars and lounges, casinos, a spa and even many options for water sports.

If you like to get a lot for your money, cruising can be a great vacation option for you. While it varies by cruise line and the options you choose, cruising generally allows you to travel to and experience multiple destinations for an economical price and you only have to unpack once.

Between the unlimited buffet, glamorous destinations, and entertainment around the clock, living on a cruise ship sounds luxurious, but there's a whole other world below deck. I've worked on cruise ships for over six years, so I'm very familiar with how crew members eat, sleep, and live.
