If You Can Afford A Vacation - You Can Afford A Cruise!

Some vacations are just more fun than others!

There will be very few times in your life when you are completely free. Free from cares, responsibilities, chores, deadlines, timetables, ringing phones or demanding voices. It's time to start planning for such a vacation and you feel overwhelmed by all the choices.

You may be looking for a place the whole family can enjoy. Perhaps a romantic vacation or a place to meet people. At the same time you want great value for your money. Seem like an impossible task? Then maybe you haven't considered cruising.

With so many destinations and so much to do on today's cruise ships it is becoming a very popular alternative to more traditional vacations. Hold on a minute, you might be thinking, I thought cruises were not for me.

Not anymore. Dance clubs, sports facilities, live entertainment, movies, classes, casinos and supervised children's activities are just a few examples of how cruise ships are catering to people of all walks of life.

One of the main benefits of cruising is it's all inclusive nature. The cost includes all the meals, 24 hour room service, cabin and entertainment just to name a few. Once you're on board you'll be amazed at the variety of activities and land excursions to choose from ? or you can choose to do nothing but lounge on the deck.

Get ready to be pampered in a safe and relaxing environment. The high quality and worry free environment will make it a true escape from the "real world". And what other vacation hotel lets you go to sleep at night and wake up to a new country at your front door every morning?

Enjoy fine dining every night at your reserved table. Go ahead, taste several appetizers. Try more than one soup. If you can't decide between two salads, have both. Every night indulge yourself with such international entrees as Beef Wellington and Duck a l'Orange.

And never say no to desserts that can include such masterpieces as Baked Alaska. Every meal is an event designed just for you. So satisfy your every craving, and then walk out of the dining room without ever paying a bill.

Oops, eat too much? Staying in shape is easy. Every floating resort has a spa facility featuring state of the art gym equipment and aerobics classes. And you'll love jogging on deck in the fresh sea air. Then relax, have a massage, steam or sauna or just a dip in the swimming pool.

If you think you're always surrounded by other guests, think again. On your ship it's easy to find a quiet corner to contemplate the sea, read a book from the library, hold that intimate conversation or just count your blessings.

Whether you're a newlywed or celebrating your 50th anniversary, you'll feel the special magic of being on a cruise ship miles out to sea. Which isn't to say singles won't enjoy a sea going vacation. As a matter of fact they'll have a blast.

Whether you love musicals, hard rock, country or big band you'll find ships playing your song. In the showroom you'll cheer the Vegas-style revues. Don't plan on deep conversation in the high energy dance club; save your talks for the friends you'll meet at the sing-along piano bar, or for each other as you stroll along the deck before turning in.

Nothing on earth compares to the value of a cruise vacation. Because on a cruise one low price covers just about everything. All your meals are included. Almost every shipboard activity is included. Even the entertainment is included.

Compare that to most land vacations when you're constantly faced with the added expenses and hassles of reservations, valet parking, buying theater tickets and searching for things to do.

Can you afford a cruise? Absolutely!

And what land vacation can take you from one exotic destination to another while you dance and dine or dream the night away!
