Presentation Transcript

Slide 1: 

What to expect on your first cruise!

Slide 2: 

Too many bags? Not a Problem! When you cruise, there is no carting luggage from place to place.

Slide 3: 

Don’t be nervous! You won’t be the only first-time-cruiser on board!

Slide 4: 

If you don’t want to spring for a room with a balcony, get the next best thing…. A room with a large window.

Slide 5: 

Cabins are available for 1,2,3 and 4 persons. Larger rooms have bunk beds that conveniently fold away.

Slide 6: 

Within hours of boarding, be prepared for a lifeboat and safety drill.

Slide 7: 

Then you’re on your own! Start by exploring all the amenities that your ship has to offer.

Slide 8: 

Get a feel for the ship’s layout by taking a walk around the deck.

Slide 9: 

Cruise ships often have more than one pool – check it out!

Slide 10: 

And chances are, you’ll find multiple hot tubs. Some will be for adults only…others will welcome children.

Slide 11: 

Find out the days and times that special activities such as rock climbing, ice skating, and mini golf take place.

Slide 12: 

Everyday activities such as ping pong and shuffleboard are generally available 24/7.

Slide 13: 

If you prefer a little more privacy, the back of the ship can offer a sunny, quiet haven…

Slide 14: 

Not to mention a magnificent view!

Slide 15: 

When evening arrives, don’t miss the glorious sunsets.

Slide 16: 

Dinner on board can be casual or dressy – your choice!

Slide 17: 

A fancy dinner atmosphere gives you the opportunity to meet other cruisers.

Slide 18: 

Don’t forget to plan on music and dancing into the early hours.

Slide 19: 

Early in the morning, you may find yourself docked in a new port…or you may need to tender into your new destination city.

Slide 20: 

In some ports, the ship remains anchored at sea while you board a small boat to get to shore.

Slide 21: 

Take note of exactly how much time you have to spend on shore. You may choose to explore on your own.

Slide 22: 

Shopping is popular in every port. Be sure and bring the appropriate currency for each destination.

Slide 23: 

You may also want to consider signing up for a cruise-sponsored tour.

Slide 24: 

These tours, while somewhat expensive, offer the opportunity to explore extraordinary places in a short period of time.

Slide 25: 

You will see sights and experience events that may be too difficult to arrange on your own.

Slide 26: 

Finally, be sure and get back to the ship on time after your outing!

Slide 27: 

Relax! And have a great time on your first cruise!
