Things to know before you go

  • Ship size, age, and onboard features can vary a lot
  • Cabin type and location matter
  • Drink packages, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, excursions, and gratuities may cost extra
  • Shorter sailings can feel more energetic and party-forward
  • Longer sailings may offer more ports and a more settled pace
  • The right ship and itinerary matter as much as the cruise line
