Cruise Myths Debunked: Why Your Next
Holiday Should Be A Cruise by Paulina Twarog
Cruises are becoming people’s
number one holiday choice. They
have something to suit everyone:
from visiting multiple destinations
to keeping you entertained every
minute of the day. We’ve picked
out some of the common myths
about cruises to show you what life
onboard is really like:
Cruises are expensive
Cruises are mistaken for
being dear, but this couldn’t
be further from the truth:
cruise prices are all-inclusive
or full-board and you often
get your flight included in the
package. Once on the boat,
you spend little to no money
and you’re sometimes given
credit to spend onboard
depending on the cruise
line. You can choose from
several restaurants, some of
which have award-winning
menus and world-class chefs.
Evening entertainment is
abundant and on larger lines,
such as Royal Caribbean
or Disney Cruise Line, you
can see shows of West-End
calibre, all included in the
price!
You’ll have access to all the
facilities you would expect at a
resort. Along with pools, spas
and fitness centres, you’ll have
shops, casinos, restaurants,
bars, cinemas and nightclubs.
You won’t be short of things
to do and you won’t waste
any of your holiday on travel
days because your holiday
starts the minute you step on
the ship.

Cruises are boring
The worst part about going
on holiday is the time it takes
to travel to a destination, our
pre-holiday dreams of a cold
glass of Pinot Grigio and dutyfree
often turn into a nightmare
of queuing at security and
racing to the gate only to wait
on the runway for an hour! On
a cruise ship, you get the VIP
treatment straight away: you
are escorted to your cabin or
suite to settle in and are then
free to head to the bar for a
drink before you’ve even left
the harbour!
Keeping yourself entertained
is straightforward as there’s
plenty for you to do onboard.
Every minute you’re away will
be time for you to relax and
enjoy yourself, making seeing
the world effortless and
allowing you to maximise your
quality time.
Cruises allow you to
completely disconnect from
the outside world. While you’ll
still have access to Wi-Fi and
other amenities, being on a
cruise is like living in your own
little city at sea, where you can
spend time alone or meet and
socialise with other cruisers.
There’s not enough time
in port
Although some ships only
stay in some locations for the
day, there are many ships that
stop in ports overnight giving
