Many beginners to cruise vacations have a lot of questions. As a cruise vacation expert, I have heard and have answered all types of questions. I have created this article to answer some of the common inquiries of beginning cruisers.
Is there schedule of when we have to eat? Can I eat when I want to? Flexible meal plans allow the cruiser to dine whenever they want to. However, flexible plans have limited variety of foods and are not as elegant as the main restaurant. The benefit of a flex plan is that you don't have to wait in lines with all the other people and you can dine with whom you want (otherwise you will have to share a table with someone).
Alternative dining service is a dining establishment on board the vessel that are different than the main restaurant. These dining services usually cost additional money and can cost from $15 to $50 per person to use these facilities. However, the food quality, service and overall ambiance are much better than the main restaurant. People who are sick and tired of waiting in long lines, noise and sharing tables are fond of this service. Most importantly, the alternative dining establishments are more cozy and offer and quieter and more romantic environment.
What is the difference between an outside and inside cabin? An outside cabin has a window or balcony and will cost you extra money. An inside cabin does not have a window and is generally cheaper.
Do cell-phones work on cruise ships? Yes, they do! You can use your cell-phone on the decks and cabins. Basically the majority of the ship is cell-phone friendly. Be careful however, if you do not want to pay roaming fees you should check with your cell-phone provider. When out at sea, some ships switch on roaming carriers and you will have to pay hefty fees. When at port, the ship will switch back to local carriers.
Can I check my internet while I'm cruising? Most cruise ships have internet and wi-fi access. You will have to pay for these services and will be charged on average, .50 cents per minutes. - 29868
